Turbo Team!! xx

Haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to let ya'll know that I did double duty of Cardio Party and Turbo Sculpt. I'm gonna feel it tomorrow!! My shoulders are killing me! The workouts seem to be getting more difficult instead of easier, but it may be because I'm putting a lot more of my body into the movements than I did initially. I still huff and puff and sometimes I have to slow down or do some modified moves. I wish I knew what I looked like while doing the workouts because I feel like my form is all wrong. Especially when it comes to some of the sculpt moves. I use 3# weights. I thought it would be too light at first, but I definitely feel the burn towards the end of the reps so I won't be going up to 5# any time soon.

Anyway...Tomorrow is my C25K training. I am NOT a runner by any means and it's probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I hated it at first, but once I got thru one session I felt so proud of myself!! Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Hunnylovesjorge - When I do the turbo jam dvd's that I know, I tend to push myself harder, so then I have to do areas of modified or take a break. Even going a little deeper in my legs makes me feel it a lot more.
As you do the sculpting more often, you will catch yourself and correct yourself more. My big thing is I do not always have my back flat, so I have to always check that. I tend to try to work on one aspect of my form at a time.

Sandypants - sorry your post got lost, that sucks! but thanks for the encouragement even though you were frustrated.
Great job on getting two workouts in so far today.

I have completed a 35 minute weight lifting workout from chalene extreme today and will do a cardio workout this afternoon, probably cardio party 2 since it has been a little while since I have done that one.

I completed cardio party 2. Time for more homework now. I will be taking my measurements tomorrow and will post any differences. My eating habits were not too great this week, so I don't forsee any differences, but we will see.

Ok! Im back in the game!!! I got my bottom into gear and did Turbo Jam 3T tonight, burning 301cals! ....I wont weigh or measure myself till next week because I think it either might be disgraceful or non existent in changes.

Please dont give up on me

All of you are such an inspiration!

nmoreland -- I am having the same problem. Where did the 6.6 pounds that I've lost come from?

Here are my numbers:
I lost 3 pounds this time around, but 0 inches. Same as last week.
I must measure in different places every time. arrrggh! But, I figure when I really lose, I'll be able to tell from loser clothing. So... here are the measurements, any way. I didn't lose any inches overall, but re-distributed, maybe? (really think it must be where and how I'm measureing... duh...):
Chest: 40 same as last week
Waist: 40 minus 1.5 from last week
Left thigh: 23.5 plus .5 from last week
Right thigh: 23 same
Left arm: 12 plus.5 from last week
Right arm: 12 plus .5 from last week
Hips: 46 same

Well, at least I didn't gain weight and I didn't gain total inches. Whew!

Hi Team Turbo! I weighed myself this AM and the 1.5 lbs I had lost last week has found it's way back to the scale. I am, however, having my monthly so I just told myself that I shouldn't be discouraged by what the scale is telling me. Even though I know I'm retaining water, I still felt bummed with those numbers. I worked my butt off last week!! I took my measurements as well, but I'm not sure if there were changes or not. Sometimes if I get a 1/2 inch change, I just wonder if I'm holding the tape tighter than I had the last time I measured myself. I guess I won't feel like the tape measurements won't do me any good until I have lost more than 2 inches. This week is gonna be tough for me cuz my tendency during my TOM is to eat everything in sight!! I've never really monitored my weight so I don't really know how much difference there can be in my weight during this time. I'm seriously hoping that I have 5 lbs in water weight! haha

Anyway...Have a GREAT week everyone!

Hey guys,

I read people are doing well!! Keep up the good work, the effort and motivation.
Those you are getting the weight "back", remember that you are now building muscles and muscles weight more than fat. Also, be really careful about rich in sodium foods, because sodium retains water in the body.

I still can't workout, I will be running some tests at the clinic tmrw, until then make me proud ppl !!!

Nikki

Heyyyyy!!! Congratulations Turbo Team!!! Well done on your losses!!!! And firmnes!! ....mmm tight buns!! tee hee!

Well its 10.30pm here on Tuesday night and I just completed my 20mins Turbo Jam and 20 mins Ab Jam!

Yay!!!!

Hsinster said to me to workout like a rockstar! ....so I am doing just that!

Lets Rock this Party!!!!

I did a 35 weight workout yesterday with Chalene Extreme. I don't thnk I will have time today to workout cause I just got home from school and I have to leave again in just over 2 hours. I have a presentation tonight, so I need to prepare for that as well as prepare a healthy dinner. I look forward to working out tomorrow though.

Keep up the great work everyone!!

Yay it's so nice to see that everyone is getting those workouts in and seeing some results! Remember team, we're committed to Turbo Jam until at least June 21st so you bet your booties we are going to have some great results by then!

I really don't like doing my measurements weekly - I prefer to do them once a month so I know I will see some inches down - I hope that's okay with all of you - I just find it much more encouraging that way.

Turbo Jam must be working though - I'm down 2.4 lbs this week! I only have 3.8 lbs to go to hit my half way mark of losing 60 lbs!!

Have a super fantastic day, I'm really really proud of all of you!

I did PKJ with the sculpting gloves last night. I'm starting to really love those gloves. :-)

Having thought about it for a while, I realized that since I always choose Cardio Party or PKJ and never do Ab Jam and Turbo Sculpt, maybe I shouldn't be too surprised if I don't lose inches in my waist and hips. So on the better late than never principle, my goal for this week is to build Ab Jam into my schedule twice a week. I guess maybe there's a reason Chalene included Ab Jam in the set.

You'll notice me not committing to Turbo Sculpt yet. I HATE aerobicized weight training. If I'm going to lift weights I want to go to the gym and lift weights. I ordered the New Rules of Lifting for Women from Amazon, so of course I can't do anything with weights until 1) it comes and 2) I have time to read it. (pats self on back) I'm so good at finding excuses to avoid what I don't want to do.

Elbee, in your karate class did you do any tumbling? (Not gymnastics-type, but falling and rolling?) That's actually what made me want to lose weight in the first place, b/c I just felt like I was too heavy to roll around on the floor with the guys. Do you have any words of wisdom about that?

Just did Turbo Jam 20mins and AbJam as per the program (im doing week 2 in the advance section - given that my exercise was almost non existent last week) ....I might do another later today too.

nmoreland : thanks for your info and feedback ...that really helps .... I really enjoy 3T because of the resistance work so I can imagine that I would enjoy Chalean Extreme. btw, what did you think of Cardio party 3 ? I felt I worked pretty hard! ..a little confused but that was my first time so im sure next time would be easier

Happy Jamming everyone!

btw..where's Nikki?

The week before my son was born, I looked like a bus (5'3", 212 pounds) and apparently MOST PEOPLE did not realize I was pregnant b/c I was so darn fat all the time anyway. I was completely humiliated to learn that I was so fat that even being pregnant didn't show.

But now that I'm not pregnant and just fat, I don't feel any better about having people think I'm pregnant.

I have a post-flu upper respiratory infection, so besides feeling awful, I was kind of excited to go to the doctor and be weighed (first time for being happy about being weighed in a doctor's office!). Tiny little happy moments.

hey all, I just wanted to pop in and let you know I got my Cardio Party done today! Still on track with my Turbo Jam for the week! I love it when I'm right on track!

Awww Noelle ((((hugs)))) - I think you're beautiful - and that person was stupid.
