    Hey hey hey Good morning! Lets just say that last week was rough for me and I dont know why. Weekend was good went to a concert with my boyfriend and a friend so that was fun. Buuuuuut its monday and its time to get back on teh horse. Have two tests this week in class adn so I will only be working out once today tomorrow and wednesday but thursday will start two.

    I plan on running today in between classes :o)

    I am moving in with my boyfriend this week and will be moved in by next week and we both are going to start doing P90X. Well he doesnt get off work until later in the day and so I will have time to workout after work and then again after he gets off work. its gonna be great :o)

    Hi All! I got Insanity on teh weekend and started it today. It's definetly a calorie-burner, I was very flushed and red-faced after. Looking forward to really getting into it- I feel like once I get more accustomed to it, I will be able to work harder! I'm still planning to do two-a-days 5x per week, I'll be doing insanity in the morning and weight training in the evening. Saturday is insanity only, and sunday is a rest day.

    Hope everyone had a nice weekend! I had a great one :)

    All that sounds like it counts! I get exhausted running after my little niece (she's 15 months)!

    Yesterday I was a machine and I'm paying for it today LOL. I did insanity pylometrics in the morning and again in the evening, as well as a quick run and weight session on my lunch break. On top of all that I did about 3 hours of spring cleaning--- got totally carried away. Now I have to get my butt moving and put the next insane dvd in ....

    How are you likeing insanity? I am staring P90X again on monday but cant decide if I just want to buy insanity. Will probably just do what I have because I KNOW it works haha. Because I need to tone more than I need to lose now.

    Well so far I like it. You really do sweat, and it seems like the more you do, the better you get at it.

    Which SUCKS for me since I TWISTED MY DAMN ANKLE this morning. :sad:

    SO I guess no cardio for me for at least a few days. You have no idea how frustrated I am about this. I was just starting to see some good changes in my physique. Now I'm afraid I will eat all my progress away :brokenheart:

    I would just try and make sure that while you are unable to do cardio that you make sure to eat clean and a few days will not change your physiique so much that you can really tell a difference. :o)

    Yah, I am just honestly really bad about counting calories and entering all my food. I really need the exercise to offset what I put in my mouth. On the bright side, my ankle feels a lot better today, so hopefully I won't be on the bench for too long!

    Hello Everyone. I did not post anything last week I was sick and was able to only worked out 3 days Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. Here's the info

    Monday- JM 30 day Shred L1 and L2
    Interval training on Treadmill 40mins+ 10 mins(warm up and cool down)

    Tuesday- JM30DS L1
    Elliptical Trainer 45 mins


    Wednesday- JM30DS L1
    Walking on incline on treadmill (4.0-6.0) 20 mins
    Tae Bo 8 mins


    I got back to working out on Tuesday and taking it easy so not really doing. Here's what I hae done so far

    Tuesday- Run on treadmill 3 miles than walk 1.5 miles

    Wednesday: Burn Fat Boost Metabolism

    Thursday: Ran outside 3.2 miles. JM30DS L1


    I'm going to do a couple of days of a morning and an evening workout (5days/wk) but the other 3 days will do two workout back to back in the morning. It's hard to do it at night because I feel all I do is workout and work spending 13 hr day in my building since I workout at the company's onsite Gym.

    I hope everyone is doing well! I missed posting all of last week but have continued with two-a-days. This week will repeat my pattern for recent weeks: AM trail runs and Supreme 90 (substitute for P90X) strength training on alternating days. PM road bike rides four days a week and two evenings just fast paced walking with my wife. I used to take Sundays off but with the great weather I can't let a weekend day slip by so I'm taking Thursday.

    Well, now that I'm done falling off the planet, I'm in desperate need of some accountability!

    The fiance and I have just moved into a temporary living situation with his parents. I adore them, so that's not an issue - but his dad's obsession with butter/desserts/fried food is! I'm usually able to easily stay on track with my food, but I'm really struggling. My most viable solution at this point is to get back on my exercise and be intense about it.

    Today's plan: 30 Day Shred and Turbo Jam CP3

    Happy Monday - especially since it's a 4 day work week for some!
