Fit & Fun Sized Group ~ January 11

Hi all and Welcome to all tbose who have just joined.:bigsmile:

Hope you are all having a good Monday. I didn't hit he gym this morning but I plan to even if it means I am dragging at work, load music and caffine should keep me awake I don't know if it is possible to gain a lb & 1/2 or if my home scale is broken but it says my weight is yo-yoing day to day between 219 & 217, I'd like to go with the lower one but I will split the difference an call it 218. :ohwell:

Due to a couple of family memebers hurting themselves over new years eve my family didn't make it to our hangover run, but theres always the april camping trip .

Tomorrows gym time I ma aiming for 45min on the elliptical & the body weight squats/dead lift sets. Doing these sets once a week probably isn't enough to build muscle but it keeps me from hurting myself. Going to spend the week trying to find a fishing hole, and I WILL spend the money this friday to get in archery practice in a nice HEATED, indoor range. (Because there is ICE on the outdoor one):laugh:

Hello all! I am still here - or I guess I should say I'm back. I was on vacation for the last two weeks of December and ended up getting the flu. We also went home to visit family for the holidays and we were a day late returning home due to bad weather. So it was not the most relaxing vacation and to be honest I'm not feeling at all rested or recharged. Regardless, today I headed back to work and I'm working on easing back into normal routine.

My goal for this year is to get my husband on board with this whole healthy living & weight loss thing. On my own I can exercise regularly, but I find the eating part to be a challenge. It's hard to make healthy choices when I have someone pulling me in the opposite direction a lot of the time. My husband does seem to be coming around to the fact that he needs to make some changes, so I'm hoping that we can both finally start making progress.

Good luck to everyone in 2011! I'm sure we can all do this.

We hooked our Wii up to Netflix over the holiday. Netflix has some good workout DVDs that you can stream. Hopefully, this will give me enough choices over the winter.

I didn't realize that. I have netflix. I should hook it to my tv. Thanks.

OMG! I had no idea either...I know what I'll be adding to my instant que.

I did it....I did it....I did it....after just completing today's workout I have done some type of exercise EVERYDAY for an ENTIRE YEAR! It was a goal I wanted to accomplish and because of all the support I received here on MFP I was able to do it....WOO..HOO!!!!!!

YAY! Congrats!!! :drinker: :drinker:

TOM has reared it's ugly head therefore I'm not feeling 100% today which means this will be a quick post. Today I completed the Fire 30, Abs 10 and Stretch 10 dvds from the Turbo Fire program. Once again the moves took a little bit to get adjusted to but if I didn't catch on quick enough I just improvised by doing a move that was very similar.

Blackmamba: Thank you for the support.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: each day is a new beginning so don't kick yourself for yesterday's indulgences or sloth, just do better today and resolve to do even better tomorrow.

Good morning all! A quick post prior to the start of my morning meeting. Today I completed the Fire 45 EZ dvd from the Turbo Fire program. This is another really good dvd but I struggled with some of the moves so I had to improvise but nonetheless I ROCKED THIS OUT and BURNED 536 calories in 45 minutes.

My supervisor has just called the meeting to order so I must go. Have a great day everyone!

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I have a minute at the big computer....wifi is still acting up.......today was line dance plus exercise bike plus 40 minutes at the dog park and the day isn't over :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I keep having this snack reoccurring everyday on my food diary: Lindor truffles. I hope now that I ate the last one they will stop showing up on my dairy.

That sounds like me during the holidays. I think I bought a bag every other day! It's my weakness.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: JAM you are so focused I know you will be back on track on no time.

:flowerforyou: dancer, hormones are so rotten.....they just try to take over your life.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

:flowerforyou: babygurl, I am in awe of your training routine and continue to cheer you on to greater success.

:flowerforyou: Choco, you might not be running six miles a day, but you are doing some amazing fitness work

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I did my usual line dance, jogging and dancing in front of the TV and walking in the nasty wind at the dog park...I'll be on the exercise bike in front of TV after dinner

tomorrow I'll be gone to a day long meeting that's a two hour drive away so my exercise will be slim, my eating will be weird, and my time on the computer may be zero.:sad:

Good afternoon and happy Saturday to all! I got my day started off in the right direction by getting up early and completing Fire 45, then jumping rope for 15 minutes and then stretching it out for another 15 minutes. I completed a total of 75 minutes and burned over 700 calories in the process.....WooHoo.....WooHoo...

Once the workout was complete, I hopped in the shower, got dressed and headed out the door to complete the errands. There's suppose to be a winter storm heading out way (GA) tomorrow evening and lasting until Monday evening so I wanted to ensure I had all the basics plus some rock salt just in case. Now that the workout is done, errands complete, bills paid, refrigerator stocked I can spend the rest of the day relaxin.............LIFE IS GOOD RIGHT NOW!!!!!


Barbie: You're so supportive and I really appreciate it.

Kladams: Good luck w/your 7 mile run.

We had a spectacular day yesterday….we left the house at 5:30 AM and got home at 7:30 PM and were in bed by 9PM. Since we were going to Seattle we were able to take the ferry so I got a nice 20 minute walk each way and that, along with a walk at lunchtime, allowed me to get 10,000 steps for the day….I didn’t get to go to the dog park or to ride the exercise bike or dance in front of the TV so my exercise was less than usual so even though my eating wasn’t too bad (Subway at lunch and a Kashi roasted vegetable pizza at dinner) I was about 700 calories over at the end of the day.

:bigsmile: Yesterday the Seattle Seahawks were playing a game in the football playoffs and no one thought they could possibly win. During our meeting there were people checking the score on their smart phones and sharing the information with us. We listened to the last 5 minutes of the game on the car radio as we drove toward downtown Seattle to get on the ferry. As we drove past Qwest Field (the site of the game) the game had just ended and the streets were filled with happy fans. Many of them were walking toward the ferry (it’s less than a mile walk) and the ferry was filled with excited fans so while we were taking our walk on the passenger deck we were surrounded by the after game excitement of all the fans dressed in their Seahawks shirts, hats, and jackets.

:bigsmile: Today it is snowing. We took the girls to the dog park about 10:00 and they played with three other dogs until everyone was exhausted. Since it is our Isagenix cleanse day, we are now settled at home to relax.:bigsmile:
