200+ Slimmin' Down in Spring!

Kristina: The Max Interval workout I did was from Month 2's workouts. (I mistakenly thought I was tough enough to handle Month 2 since I already did Insanity) It was awesomely hard. Did you know that Shaun T is coming out with the next level of Insanity called Insanity Asylum?? It's due out sometime this spring. It's supposed to be even harder as there isn't any rest breaks.

Kerry: I LOVE steamed edemame!

Yay only one and a half more hours. I really can't wait to go home. I am going to try the fit test when I get there. I'm glad to see everybody day going so well. I also have more laundry to do when I get home. Poo. Well catch yall later. I will let you know how it view tonight

15 minutes left and I'm sneaking out of work... my mantra right now is "I will run when I get home". I'm telling you all this so you can ask me on Monday if I didn't, and then give me crap if I bailed.

Amy, I kinda want to buy the Veganomicon just because of its name... it reminds me of Evil Dead. (I'm hoping you get this reference!) I do want to get to a point where 2-3 dinners a week are vegetarian... it seems like a good idea. Right now I'm still at the phase where I'd rather have a little bit of steak with dinner than none at all though. :blushing:

A friend from work that bought p90x but never uses it (he's ridiculous about fad diets and never follows through on them... its frustrating to watch) is going to let me borrow it... so I'm gonna start that after shred is done. Amber, if you get started with it we can motivate each other! I've got I think 8 days left of shredding.

Ok, seriously, have a good weekend. You are all rockstars.

Suzie: I think you've hit the nail on the head with your blog post. This is ALL about learning to love ourselves. I know it is for me.

Kerry: The Veganomicon was actually an Evil Dead Reference. If you check out the chicks who wrote the book's blog (http://www.theppk.com/) you'll see that they are funny and a bit dark - just like the Evil Dead (one of my favorite movies by the way!!!). I like vegetarian food, I am discovering that vegan food isn't nearly as horrible as I thought it would be (I really, really like milk, butter and cheese so making food without these things totally tweaks my mind!). What really tweaks my mind is that vegan food is TOTALLY tasty!! I think P90X will be a great step up in the working out for you since you've been doing Shred. You'll like it.

Well, my day is pretty much done here. I'm gonna post my calories and stuff tomorrow as my armband calculates calories burned up until midnight and I like seeing the end-result number rather than the where I'm at when I post my last post number. I managed to stay under my calories today but pretty much only because I did a spontaneous rowing session rather than just sitting on my couch and watching the American Idol results show. But - under is under so it is a success. On the bad side, I had Burger King for lunch (a veggie burger w/ no mayo and some onion rings) and my stomach has been messed up ever since! It's funny how when you take crap out of your diet for the most part how freaking much that crap you used to eat all the time messes with your system when you eat it once in a blue moon. Funny vegetarian side-note: When we were leaving Burger King, Gabe whispered in my ear: "Burger King makes me think of death..." (he's a bit more of a militant vegetarian than I am)

Hello,

I just started MyFitnessPal and this thread really inspired me to get back on track with my weight. May I ask, how does the 6-week challenge work for this group and may I be part of it?

Hailie

Amy I tried the mirena iud for six horribly horrible months. I got depressed, I gained weight, I had horrible back cramps, I could feel it. I had to use it because the pill after I had Gracie makes my bp spike super high. Now I use nothing. But yeah. They say tht the mirena is a local dose of hormones but I call bs on that. I'm gonna check out the veganomicon book...maybe tomorrow.

Jeff and Gracie are leaving at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow to head to Medford to see the Giants world series trophy and I'm going to remote into work from my comfy couch for a few hours. Then best buy, old navy, massage, grocery shopping, dog food, target and home. Sunday I need to make spaghetti and chili for the fam to eat while I'm gone. I need to buy some comfy black shoes for the trade show too.


I'm going to wait to get my bmf going until I get home next Friday. I want to jump into it and hit the gym and cut meat out of my diet. I think it's what'd getting me. If not then dairy. Sigh.


Ok I made it to past 10. I'm going to bed.

Lacey: I LOVE Pushin' for less cushion as the new challenge name!!!! I have the mirena IUD now. It has definitely made my cramps and PMS worse but it's the only birth control I can use besides condoms (and where's the fun in that).

Gtg329x & hkallembach: We are always happy to have new people around here. Our challenge runs 6 weeks. This one ends next Monday but then we'll start another one. Some people have been around here for about a year, I've been here since this past summer, and some people are pretty new to the group. We chat about all kinds of stuff (not just weight related) and we motivate each other. It's a great group and I'm glad to have it. We weight in over the weekend (whichever day works for you) and post our weights by Monday so that Kristina (akasullengal) can put the chart together that shows our progress. Other than that, welcome! Tell us something about yourselves and just jump in and post - it's the best way to get to know everyone around here.

sarah: I think I have too much ADD for video games. My son and husband can spend hours (ok...days) playing and beating a video game but I just cannot do it. I start to get all stiff from sitting in one place too long and then I think about stuff I'm not doing and I'm done...gotta go do something else. I'm seriously good for an hour of video games at one time...tops. I'm kind of like that with anything though. I can't even sit through a movie I've seen before without wandering off to check my facebook or do laundry or whatever. I can only sit though a movie I haven't seen before and give it my full attention.

Good Saturday morning all! Here are my Friday stats: 1923 calories eaten/ 2801 calories burned/ 878 calorie deficit - definitely not my best showing but as I kind of treat Fridays as "free days", I think it's pretty good. Today is P90X Shoulders and arms and Ab RipperX and then I'm bowling with The Hubbs while The kid is at a birthday party. The eating will be back in check today as I don't want to lose momentum since the weight is coming off pretty steadily now. Have a good day ya'll!

I got to sleep in until 8:25. I still feel kind of zombieish but a good 75% better than I did last night. It is no good to be traveling for work and beign tired before you even go!!! I think I'm on the upswing though. I need to work but I'm seriously enjoying watching redundant tv with no one being home and sipping on coffee. I think I will work tonight.

I so want to get my body media going but I have to wait till I get back. It would just be one more thing I would think about next week.


Oh gawd I just realized I havent made any of my dinner reservations for down there either!!!! Oi ve. Oi ve. Ok, I have to get moving!!
