    I just got them for Christmas but it's been crazy and I haven't really had a chance to use them. I had a pair of adjustable from Target but it still took a second to switch back and forth.

    Workout: Run
    Nurition: Net 1092 (1200)

    This was my first run in two months. It actually went better than I thought it would and I think I will be back up to speed in a couple weeks if the weather stays nice and I get out there.

    I also have an adjustable pair. Mine only go up to 12.5 lbs per weight in 2.5 increments, but they were about $40 total if I remember. I love them I did buy a pair of 15 # also.

    Can see that all my posts got lost somewhere…put together a goal and updated all my stats. NOT good but expected, the 3 inch increase around stomach area was a PAINFUL and traumatic wakeup call.

    Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

    I invested in the SelecTec’s about 2 yrs ago. Overall, I like them…save space, convenient but longer than regular dumbbells. Sometimes I do switch to the dumbbells.

    Yesterday I did some elliptical running and then a bunch of random stuff that felt great since I was hyped up.
    Nutrition wise, I did 2 juices for breakfast lunch, green tea with honey, and then had a nice BLT with Avocado, no mayo for dinner. Needed to cleanse from the hibachi sodium the night before.

    Today:
    Workout- BC3
    Nutrition - 1240 net (1500)
    Water - only 24 oz

    I gained about 15 lbs in the last six months of last year. New job and stress and not working out... So Jan 1 was my rude awakening and highest weight. Today, a coworker said she thought I looked like I lost weight. I'm not sure if that is true yet, or just a flattering outfit (yay control top pantyhose) but it was good motivation to keep going!!!

    How nice! I had a neighbor tell me I was "skinny as hell" and that "Beachbody thing" was "working."

    I'm not trying for skinny, just fit - but when people say that I really don't think they are saying you were big before, they want to be encouraging.


    No workout yesterday, my son asked me to spend some time with him when I got home, he'd been home from school sick.

    Nutrition was ok, I thought - until I looked at the calories and sodium of my ground turkey and brown rice lunch.

    but! but! I'm down another pound and at 82% of my loss for the DietBet. Only .9 pounds to go and I can split the pot with the girl who's been at 100% for over a week.

    (Bet is at $350)

    Workout BC2
    Nurition: net 1205 (1200)

    I went up to 25 lbs on some of the moves and it was not the weight that bothered me as much as the fact that somehow my grip would move from the center of the barbell. Made it a little harder.

    I made some black bean brownies yesterday. Pretty darn good and good for a sweet tooth craving. No flour or sugar (I used maple syrup instead). Even my husband like them and he is never excited by the healthier versions of things.

    I was asking about these for my grandmother on facebook. Her dr says she needs to gain weight. She doesn't like to eat much but sweets...

    Repair day yesterday. Got a nice 30m massage before leaving work. I do feel much better today!
    The movement of the handles on the elliptical puts soreness in new places.

    Sunday:
    Elliptical for 20 minutes. Did a dorky thing and bought a sauna suit for $5 at Ross and tried to see if a weigh in before and after were different. I went up some :(

    Also did a workout in my Women's Health 2014 Mag Supplement for about 20 minutes. It's in my fitness journal.

    Nutrition was good.

    today I get to start lifting again!!

    Going to need those calories for tomorrow. Does anyone else add calories in for weight lifting days? I put in 125. I am not sure how accurate but with a 1200 calorie goal I definitely do not want to be underesting.

    I missed a few check ins. But I have been working out!

    Saturday: BC2
    Nutrition: WAY over (party!)

    Sunday: rest day
    Nutrition: 1900 (1500)

    Monday: BC3
    Nutrition: 1297 (1500)

    Today: Burn it off (aka last Burn Circuit Workout!!!!!!!!)
    Nutrition: TBD

    I don't add calories for lifting days, but I also have 1500 as my daily goal. I always aim for the net calories, rather than just food.

    I love the way my arms and legs are already starting to feel after lifting. Others may not see it yet, but I can :)

    I could tell before anyone else, too!

    I think on IIFYM for me I think I was in the 1300 range. That 100 calories can make a huge difference!
