Hi everyone

Hope you don't mind me joining in on your group, but I am so close to my goal and am starting to struggle so need all the help I can get. I so don't want to slip into old habits and I am fighting it hard. I'm sticking to my exercise programme (Turbo Fire - halfway through week 3), and the inches are coming off. Is anyone else doing TF? How are you finding it?

It's Wednesday and we are expecting thunderstorms this afternoon...bahhhhh! We always need the rain but not the possibility of lightening and hail. LOL...according to TWC phone app, the storm should arrive at 1:45pm CDT...lol...funny how phone apps are so cool.

Today is cardio with P90X Kenpo X (kickboxing) scheduled but I switched out and did P90X Cardio X (43 mins) which included kickboxing, yoga, core, plyo (which I modified to protect my lower back from impact), and general cardio moves. Instead of those Dreya Rolls, I did my own version of a Pilates roll…lol. I skipped that superman/banana movement. I could feel the heat escaping from my body! This was a great fitness session which I did my best with and forgot the rest…LOL!

Jess: lol, it's good to hear that your best friend survived that beastly workout.. Enjoy your rest day!

Emma: welcome to the group!! I'm not doing TF but do a mix of P90X and CLX. Maybe because I've been a consistent exerciser for three good years now it is a habit and I never even consider "slipping". How long have you been consistently exercising? I say do workouts that you enjoy and change up every 4-6 weeks. Personally, I change up my routines every 4 weeks now. We are here to support however you need so don't get discouraged. Keep sticking to your workouts until they are just a "natural" thing for you. WTG on losing inches...you are leaner!!

Maureli: I had a chocolate whey protein w/mango, papaya, & strawberries smoothie after my workout and a cup of coffee 45 minutes prior to it. I usually have coffee to get that extra boost to get through workouts...LOL!! Jillian Michaels even recommends it....LOL!! Speaking of our weather, don't be jealous today because it is going to be stormy...yuck. I used to love grocery shopping but no longer since the prices keep increasing. We have a fruit and veggie garden to help with the bill and have fresh goods. Happy grocery shopping to ya! Enjoy your run today, too!

How's everyone else doing? Make it a wonderful Wednesday and I hope to check back later.

Welcome Emma...I believe someone is doing TF....


I am sick in bed...crazy sore throat, fever, headache , body aches. So I have been forced to rest. In bed drinking lemon and honey tea. I won't be logging food haven't really eaten any. :-( We will try too pick it up and give it a go tomorrow.

Keep it up ladies...

Oh nooo Toni....get well soon!:flowerforyou:

sounds like everyone is having a great day. Rest day for me

Maureli- I hope you were able to get your run in today. In CT it was running pretty bad this morning but by the time I left it was pretty nice and never rained again.

Emma – Congrats to being close to your goal, having encouragement can definitely help you stay committed and help you through your struggles. I have TF and I thought about doing it again. I was going back and forth between CLX and TF. But TF was a little too advance since I haven’t really worked out for the past 2 years due to a bad injury and pregnancy. When I did TF, I totally enjoyed it and really felt that it help build up my endurance. I know that I will return to it again.

Jessmart83 – I had to move over to yesterday’s post to see what you did with your friend. I wonder how she felt today? That really seemed like *kitten* kicking. It’s nice that you are able to give her a workout that she enjoyed.

NewAgainPam: I enjoyed the superman/banana rolls and the Dreya rolls but they can be a killer,. Glad you enjoyed your workout and made the best of it. I liked your little saying, might have to steal that. 

Hurdisnie1- I do hope you feel better soon. Get all the rest you can.

Lizzardqueen- that was a great way to take advantage of the nice weather. Maybe your stroll helped you getting over the cold a little bit. Hope you don’t get too sick.

FromHereonOut- Even though you weren’t able to get any good exercise it, it is definitely good that you had a lot of movement. Hopefully, you will be able to have a good night of rest. Have a great workout tomorrow.

DinaMW2013- Wow, that does seem like a butt kicker. Are you and Jessmart83 sharing buttkicking ideas?

Scrook- enjoy your rest day.

Nareena-Great that you took advantage of the early work departure. I hope you have good weather for your planned run tomorrow.

As for me, I’m super excited that I got a workout in! My evening meeting only took 35 minutes. Everyone was shocked how quick it ended. So when I got home and found my daughter still sleeping, I quickly changed and popped in JM 30DS, it just arrived today. Tomorrow will be TRX with command again. I think we are going to make that our standard on Tuesday and Thursday.

bad bad food day....Testing week apparently means donut holes and mini cupcakes.Then went to bible study tonight and there was homemade pecan pie.Really need to exercise some self-control....or just exercise. Just got home for the first time not long ago. I did 10 minutes of "shooming" through the house and some sun salutations. Really need to get the lead out!
