Wasn't feeling too good yesterday so didn't put as much effort into my workout. Didn't burn as many cals as per usual. Today was better. Felt good and pushed. I did TF Fire 55 & Fire 30. I was a sweaty mess when I was done, but I felt good!!
Good for still doing it even though you weren't up to par yesterday. Glad today was better, that you pushed it out and feel awesome. That's what it's all about, right?
I popped in here for motivation after a horrible start today. I had christmas candy for breakfast and warm apple pie ala mode for lunch. Ew. I mean, there's definitely a time and a place for each of those things -but this was not it. Trying to psych up for a good, hard workout so I can let it go and move on.:grumble:0 -
Smiles--You can still clean up your day!
sas16--Great job on the workout today! I did Fire 55EZ today. Burned a ton of calories too!0 -
Well, I am staying on track calorie wise and of course I am working out. I started the 100 push up program yesterday as well. I need some upper body strength. Anyway, I was under calories yesterday and today I did a strength training class at the gym during lunch. I am also hiking after work with my dog and a big group. So far, so good.
Hope everyone is doing swell!

Great job, Mary!
I am kind of excited to get up in the morning to step on the scale again. I like that I've lost 3.6 pounds in 2 days, so I am anxious to see how much more I've lost.0 -
I just got back from a mini vacation after christmas, we went wine tasting and ate yummy food. I feel that I have been somewhat unhealthy or off track for about a week. I am ready to jump back on board. No guilt here, I let myself have a true vacation.0

TF HIIT 25 & HIIT 20, and BL last chance workout today. Feeling pretty good! Exercise isn't my problem it's mainly staying within my cal limit. And I really need to work on lowering my sodium intake. I do try to drink as much water as I can though to counter that.
Hope you all have a good day!0 -
Didn't end up doing my "normal " routine yesterday. My hip was out from my new and taller stepper, and my arms killed from starting a push up routine. Love to feel the burn....ok, not so much, but knows that its working! So back on it today. Plus taking down Christmas (which is a chore on its own) and looks like some new snow, so some shoveling too. Should be a good burn day :happy: Hope that I can loose another pound by friday. Didn't loose last week, and I want to have some drinks on New Years! :drinker: And I want to do it guilt free.0

Thanks to both you and Amy, I did reign it in a bit! I did 80 mins of zumba and then made sure to get some nutrients in (spring mix salad, cauliflower, all that good stuff). There's room for improvement, but I think I managed to salvage the day.0 -

Same here - the real challenge is staying within calorie limits. And sodium. You can do it, it takes determination! If you've got that much discipline for exercise, surely it can be transferred to eating, right? That's what I'm telling myself!
Have a great day!0 -
Well I made it out last night for my hike...It was a ncie steep climb to the top and my dog made it too! Today, since it is raining and I can not run outside, I signed up for a Spin class, but feel a little apprehensive about it. The last time and only time I took a spin class was in 2001.
I kept within my calories too yesterday, so that was a huge plus. I have dropped two of the 4 I gained, so I am hoping to zero out the gain soon and start losing the 20 I want off!

That sounds like a great workout. Compared to all the other exercise / workouts you've done, what do you think of TF?
PS - Thank you for starting this thread. I'm finding that it helps to know there's a group of folks to come check in with. It's been a good week exercise-wise. I went for a 50 minute run and did 10 mins of abs this morning.0 -

Well done everyone for not pigging out between xmas and new year
In the past i've seen it as a free week but not anymore, on boxing day i went for a 5 mile run, 27th the same, 28th and 29th I did 2 sessions of 30DS, today just 1 30DS and a run later after taking my girls for a long walk.
Really excited for next week, i should be getting my new BFBM and 6W6P dvds to try out, has anyone tried these?0 -
Well as you can see by my ticker, it really is the last 20 now. I have fattened up the cow.
Started with the trainer
Logging every bite
Thinking about my food again
Exercise of some sort EVERY day
Going today for a mini-sx type thing so no exercise for a few days. I will walk though.0
