JOIN ME! 30 day Insanity/Turbo Fire hybrid program

Pure Cardio - done. I burned 349 calories. I wasn't in it as much today. Could be because my home life has been crazy (to put it mildly) lately.

We had to go to my boyfriend's uncle's funeral yesterday. We were gone for that alone for 12 hours, and when we got home I was more exhausted than I have been in a long time. So needless to say, I didn't get my workout in.. and wasn't able to log all my calories. I'm sure it wouldn't have been a pretty sight anyway! Oh well, it happens (about once a week to me it seems like...)

I'm back at it today!

Aww Lisa, dont worry. I hope your bf and you are doing well. When you are emotionally drained, its definitely hard to even think of working out.

Did Fire 55 EZ, and I gave it my all but in the last 10 mins, I was just so exhausted, I ended up stopping 10 mins early. I did the stretch 10 about an hour later. But glad I got it in.

There is a TON of snow today, and it took me about 1.5 hours to get to work, and I am expecting worse when I get off, so I hope after all the traffic from snow, and when I finally get home, I will have the energy to get my workout in.

I LOVE the snow, just not when I have to deal with it on the road and driving in it!

Sharon - I am going to look into p90x once I am done this, or BBL. What are the best beachbody programs for weight loss? I dont really want to build up too much muscle until I lose these 10 pounds or so, and get rid of the fat.

Hey Ladies!

Oh my goodness Lisa! I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that you are doing as well as expected. Your boyfriend also.

I ran 3.5 miles today out in the frigid cold...with the wind chill it was about 4. I burned 319 cals and then I did Pure Cardio burning 258 cals for a total of 577 for the day.

So I was thinking that it seems we all have different ideas what we are doing next, which is alright, but thought maybe we could still check in here for accountablity. What do you all think about that?

I am scale obsessor and I do it to keep me hopefully in the right track and this thread and program (thanks to Sharon) came at the right time because it was the highest I had seen in 4-5 yrs. I know some of it was water weight but still. Today I saw something other then 150's...I am keeping my fingers crossed that I see that on WI day.

Thanks for your support everyone. It means a lot.

Sam - I'm so happy you saw a number out of the 150s! You must be very excited!

Sharon - hopefully your .1 gain will go away and take a few others with it, you're doing great!

Fire 30 and Core 20 = 475 calories burned.

I definitely want to keep up the thread. It's super-motivational!

I got on the scale and my weight is not going in the right direction at all. But the past few days I haven't been eating very well -so what can I expect?

That saying is so true that when it rains, it pours. It seems like it's been pouring for months now! Ugh.. I know eating is completely in my control, but stress from all this isn't helping me to make good choices. I was doing great and decided to eat a treat and then I've been craving them since. Most of the time I'm staying within my calories, but a lot of it is not healthy foods. Something has to change. I need to be strong for my family... (my 95 year old grandmother was in a wreck about 2 weeks ago, and broke her collar bone in 2 places. Now she's in the hospital again and things aren't looking good.) There seems to be so many other things going on right now, too.. I won't go there and trouble you guys with it.. but I need some words of enrouragement to snap out of this wanting junk and feeling bad phase.

Sorry to be a downer, but yall are very supportive of me and I really really appreciate it (more than you probably know)! I just need to get things I can change in perspecive and not worry as much about things that I can't change.

Awww Lisa, hang in there. I know how you feel by when things seem to go wrong with everything, one after another. The things that helped me the most was to somehow shift your focus and your moods into being more positive. I know when bad things start happening, I dwell on them, and then more bad things happen, so take some time, write in a journal, and write the positve things in your day, and once you start focusing on that, things will get better. Hang in there!

Thanks again everyone! Yall really do make me feel better! :flowerforyou:

It just helps me to talk about these things that are bothering me and just get them out. I think my grandmother is doing a little better - so that's great news.

I did the Plyometric Cardio Circuit today and burned 470 calories. Next time I do it, I'm going for 500 calories. hehe

I still don't know what exactly I want to do workout wise. I think I may just do my regular random DVD selection. It works for me. And.. I go to the gym with a friend sometimes, so I hate feeling like I have to do two workouts a day. I love going to the gym.. I burn so many more calories there than with DVDs. I think it's 'cause the competitor in me comes out and I want to work harder than others I see. lol

Great job Sharon on the loss!!! And great burn!! I weigh in tomorrow so I am looking forward to seeing what it says.

Lisa, glad to hear that your grandma is doing better. And excellent burn with cardio circuit today! You WILL get 500 next time!

I opted to do cardio circuit tomorrow because I knew I wouldnt have time for a long run since there is FOOTBALL tomorrow heehee so I ran today. 7 miles in 64 min and I burned 570 cals

Have a great day girls!! Off to lunch ( a healthy one but having a coupole beers) with some ex co-workers.

*Sam*

Ooooh, I may be up for a cleanse. Which are you doing??? I am thinking the 5 day Turbo Fire.

I was thinking about doing the Shakeology cleanse. I have quite a bit of it.. and I was looking at a few reviews of it - seems like it works pretty well for some folks. Hopefully it will do the same for me! I would do the Inferno one, but I don't want to have to buy extra things. I think I can manage buying some more lettuce though. lol But, we can always just check in together and report how well (or not) it's going!

Also, great job on the scales, Sam. I knew you would see a loss soon!

I did Fire 45 today. I like that one. I did it with weighted gloves and burned 563 calories! I can't believe one extra pound on each hand can make any difference whatsoever... but evidently they do.

Oh.. doesn't sound too bad either. I just like the Shakeology one bc it's only 3 days. I reckon I'm an oddball..I like the greenberry best. Chocolate has a strange taste. But I'm very picky about the regular chocolate I eat anyway. I HATE chocolate icecream, syrup, dark chocolate.. I only like milk and white chocolate. So.. I guess it is just me. lol I've heard so many good things about Shakeology, but I haven't really gave it a chance. I better, cause I have about $175 worth of it I still haven't used!!

Yeah, you can feel it especially towards the end with the gloves. Usually when I wear them I burn 75-100 calories more per workout! Definitely worth it!

Sharon~ What does the 3 day shakeology cleanse consist of? Do you just drink 3 shakeologys for 3 days?

Lisa~ what do you mix your greenberry with? And a picky chocolate eater?? this is just crazy to me!!!! LOL

Hmm.. guess I'll be the ginuea pig for this group as far as the Shakeology cleanse! lol I'll be sure to report how it's going for the 3 days along with my workouts. Maybe it will help me get through it.

I've been mixing my shakes with milk. I know that tastes better than water.. I'll have to get used to it starting tomorrow though. I'll just remind myself it's only 3 days and keep going. lol

Yes.. I am a picky chocolate eater. I'd never really thought of it like that. haha But.. sadly I sure can make up for it with the chocolate I do like. :blushing: Hopefully this will help kill those cravings.

looking forward to hearing how it goes. I am really considering buying the 3-day cleanse pack and trying it out.

On to week 4!!!

No wonder. I always just mix it in the glass because (in the kitchen) I am probably the laziest person you will ever meet. I HATE kitchen clean up, so I never use the blender or anything. This is also something I need to work on.

Well, so far all I've had is one greenberry packet. And I must admit I'm not too awful hungry yet. Crazy since I worked out.. usually that gets to me. I'm sure it will soon enough though! I was a little worried how this would ge because I woke up STARVING this morning. But.. so far so good I think. I'm not positive, but I think there is a blender burried somewhere in the kitchen.. and maybe some frozen berries to add to my shake. I think I'll make it, shower, and eat after it's had time to cool more.

Also, I did Pure Cardio - 496 calories gone.

Hope yall have a great day! I still can't believe it's the last week!!!
