    Wow! Thanks for noticing! Its been a work in progress for over a year, but I really got serious in October. I started doing P90X, not actually following the program but doing a workout from the program 3-4 times a week and running 4-6 miles once or twice a week. I also tried HCG but only for about 10 days and I HATED it! Thats why I stopped and then ordered Insanity. I have just finished month one and start the recovery week tomorrow. Then on to the final month! I'm preparing for Hawaii, my husband and baby and I are going for our 3rd year anniversary in 23 days!!! My abs are definitely stronger and showing... but still covered by a layer of fat and loose wrinkly, stretch marked skin leftover from the baby belly. But, hey, I'll take the abs any day ;)

    Today, I finally went to the gym and tried a Yoga class. I made myself go to the other side of the room, away from the door so I wouldnt be able to walk out during class. LOL...It was much better than the boring DVDs and was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Of course I wasnt able to stand on my head like a couple of the other ladies in the class but I think I did pretty good for my first time. Also, the instructor and one of the ladies in class said this was an intermediate/advanced class. So, kudos to me for making it through the 1 hour class. :drinker: (water) The downside is that you dont burn alot of calories. I burned about 180 cals during the 1 hour class. My goal is to start doing Yoga at least once a week.

    Your abs look GREAT! I was thinking about doing the P90X but I didnt want to have to do it everyday. I might try it once I get closer to my goal weight to help me tone up.

    WOW, HAWAII! Im soooo jealous :smile:

    Good on you! I've been doing yoga once a week since last February (most weeks anyway..about to restart ;)) and I can't recommened it highly enough! I've found that when I go for a few weeks in a row, it really makes a difference to how strong and vibrant my body feels. Let me know how you get on!

    Hmmm sounds like just what I need. Not sure how I will go under presently restricted conditions with the floods? But some motivation is in order...

    frostyisis - You can DEFINITELY notice a difference! I fear that after 3 kids I'll never have a completely flattened (stretch mark free) belly, but I know it can look better than it does right now. I just borrowed P90 from a friend and will be starting it next week, hoping for good results! We went to Hawaii in September (hence the profile pic!), have you been there before? It was my first time and I fell in love! :love: Hubby wants to save up to move there, I'm considering it! What island are you going to? We went to Oahu (my brother is in the Air Force and is stationed in Honolulu, we went to visit him).

    loveme - Way to go on the yoga class (and good idea distancing yourself from the door!)

    kimmiebear - Glad the scale is nicer today! :wink:

    Had another great workout. Didn't get in a swim last night but will do it either tonight or tomorrow at 4am. I am curious how many hours do some of you workout to get very high calories burned?

    My highest calorie burns come from spinning! I typically burn about 500 doing 30 minutes on the treadmill (running/walking), then when I add some elliptical to it it always bumps it up a lot. I think if I tried to swim at 4 am I'd drown. I thought my 5 am workouts were brutal, I feel for you! :flowerforyou:
