    ok. So this week has been a wash for me. I also have eaten out almost everyday - the weekend is not looking much better. I'm trying to remember portion control.

    My goal for next week is to run/walk two miles in the mornings and then do Ripped in 30 in the evenings. I read an article in a running magazine about a guy who ran everyday for a year. He didn't want to stop because he felt that he would not be able to start up again. SO I am going to try it out and run everyday even if it's only a short distance next week.

    Keep up the great work everyone! and have a fantastically fun-filled weekend!

    The eliptical was such an awesome workout. Funny story I was in td middle of my intervals really starting to feel it and my math professor (he's young like early 30's) walked up and got on the eliptical next to me. Haha my first thought was crap I need to do my homewor haha. But it was an awesome workout. Hope everyone has a great weekend!! Keep it up :):)

    Hi there
    Checking in no 2nd workout yesterday went to dinner with DH and a friend. They had delicious homemade soup and sandwiches I had a blueberry smoothie made with sugar free yogurt and some pineapple chunks. I tried to concentrate on the band and the atmosphere and company rather than the incredible food(I wasn't eating) LOL! Today. I did 55 minutes of cardio & weights and no 2nd workout either !! Going have to make up for it tomorrow. A little disappointed that I'm only down a pound this week but I feel stronger and tighter. Wish I had taken my measurements - maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekends

    Checking in for Sunday
    It was supposed to be rest day (even though io planned to do an extra workout because I only got 1 in for yesterday). I ended up with a 45 minute walk/jog in an area that had flat stretches and some hills. I can feel it! Only burned 250 cals but I'll take it:laugh:
    I took my measurements and I am 2 inches bigger than I was last fall in evey major area bust waist and hip; I've got quite a ways to go. Not down on myself just realistic - the good news is I've made a start and am on my way. I thank all of you out there for your enthusiasm and your commitment. It pushes me to keep moving!

    Have a great night

    Morning folks,
    Started out this Monday with 30day shred - only burned 200 calories but man was I exhausted and dripping with sweat!! It felt great!! Doing my 20min Ab Jam plus ..... not sure yet :laugh: It depends on my energy level - either the TJ 20 minute , Fat blaster (interval training) or 45 minutes of FIRM cardio.

    It's nice to have choices :wink:

    Make it a great day,
    Janet

    Well Friday was a much-needed rest day. My whole body was sore—and not in that good I’m-sore-from-working-out way, more like every muscle in my body was screaming at me LOL. Saturday and Sunday I was out of town at my sister’s and I just did intervals both days. It was a minor miracle that I was able to sneak away to the gym even once a day while staying there. Also didn’t log ANY food all weekend!

    Oh well, back on track this morning, did 15 minutes intervals on the treadmill and 20 on the elliptical. Got a great burn off the elliptical, I’m definetly doing that more often! Tonight I will be back at the gym for weight training.

    I’m still debating over whether I want to spend some money on workout dvds. I’m doing my best to be ‘frugal’ but I spent $160 yesterday on new workout clothes! :S

    Oh sounds like you need a rest! I think when you get super tired, your body needs the sleep more then the exercise anyway. Don;t worry, you can make it through the day and you'll have an amazing sleep tonight!

    How very nice of you to stay up with your BF!

    Thank you. I was feeling a little guilty knowing I wasnt going to be able to workout but right now with me being so tired I would probably injur myself trying to push through this exaustion. He is so worth it and so I dont mind in the least but I am def going to bed early tonight He feels better after some meds so he should be good the whole night tonight ...Will start my logging and workout tracking tomorrow :o)

    Hi All! I've been switching it up this week and doing ym cario in the morning and weight training in the evening. I'll see how this goes this week. So last night I did chest, back and shoulders. Finally getting better at chin-ups, still need about 35 pounds of assistance, but I'm getting there! Can't wait to be able to do a chin up all on my own---- that will make me feel super tough!!! This morning I did intervals on the treadmill and ellipitcal. After work tonight it will be heavy legs, I'm leg pressing 230 pounds and squating 150.
