Lexi, I've been married 25 years and lucky enough to count everyday as Valentine's Day!

Well I'm just sitting here at school. We have two hours until the kids show up. I can't wait until the warm weather returns.

I'm really enjoying TF. I will count this as my second time going through the program. 20 weeks will take us till June. Anybody have any thoughts on what they will do then?

What other programs has anybody in this group done? Just curious. I like the cardio workouts TF provides. I'm certainly not a runner and I get bored with the elliptical all the time.

Hey there! It hasn't snowed. So I have nothing to shovel lol. I have done about a couple of months of Insanity, the Asylum one. I tried doing the regular Insanity and thought it was insanely hard. Shawn had to tell people in the video to take a break because they were about to collapse. I need to start training for the Spartan Run in September.

I have quite a few Tae Bo VCR tapes lol. It is actually how I got into kickboxing. He has some good ones ~ the later ones, at first he was all silence and learning. Later on, he added in music. Still not as fun as TF!

I also like Karen Voight, she has some great ones, they are dated (heck they look like 80's music videos) but great workouts, again VCR, I need to update my library! I totally recommend Strong Smooth Moves, it is about an hour long and part of it is the strength training. It is a great workout.

Maybe we could look into a Billy Blanks workout? He is kickboxing, again just not as fun.

There is also TurboKick, but, you have to be a certified teach to buy the videos. I have looked on Ebay, but each DVD is over $30!

I started BeFit 90 last year, that is when my wrists went toast, it was good, but far from the calorie burn of TF.

Yeah! Lexi is back, phew!

Coach, I must have been thinking of that, because I got my highest burn ever this morning with TF60! I was so into it. I was actually sad when it ended.

You are braver than me though, even if (like the world ended and she came here) there was a live class near me, I wouldn't be able to get myself to workout in public! Unless maybe I was in a foreign country and no one could possibly know me!

Cannot wait until I can actually pivot with my left foot again. Do you all realize how many pivots are in a workout?? My brain and the rest of my body are ready to GO, but my ankle is still holding me back.

Happy Saturday, off to the "fun" of housework

I so need a rest day tomorrow! Oh, and I want to dig out my weighted gloves, I think it is time to add those back in to my workouts!!

I cannot seem to control myself on the weekends, went over on calories both days! During the week, I have every meal planned out, maybe I need to start doing that on the weekends too, although I like the freedom of not having to plan for a few days.
Plus store the beer a mile away so I have to walk to get each one lol Oh well, it's suppose to be a lifestyle, not a diet, right?

As long as I keep seeing the scale go down and not start going UP again!

I was looking at next month's schedule, at first I was disappointed by all the Tone/Sculpt/Upper/Lower workouts, but now that I have thought about it, I think some strength training might be a good thing. I will probably switch out the HIIT 15 & HIIT 20 for the HIIT 25 & HIIT 30 just to get some extra calorie burn. And, Fire 30 will probably become 55 or

Alright, enough run on sentences already , sorry teachers! Off to carve some signs, have a great day!

Hey there! Yesterday was super busy with all day meetings at work then parent teacher conferences for the boys. One of the twins has a stomach virus but you would not know that looking at him playing his video game. He is full of energy and I am ready for a nap.

I just had to share these Although compared to the last few weeks this is a heat wave

There seems to be a stomach bug going around every where! Hope everyone is better at your house now! I think I will workout at my house and not yours for a while ha ha

Thanks Amy! He was able to hold down his food and went back to school today. I just hope no one else gets it because I am out of paid leave.

Hope everyone is well! Life has been busy and I got a little lazy. My youngest was sick last week as well. The weather has gotten back to more normal temps and we are getting some much needed rain. I finally finished week 4 and started week 5 today. I don't think I would have made it this far without this group.

Amy - here is a youtube link that you can watch a better infomercial than what is on the beachbody site. If the link doesn't work, it's the youtube video by Jose Sanchez.

I actually like the program. It's not near as dancy or have the awesome music like turbo fire, but the time flies by. It's like - what is that it - really 25 minutes. And I do modify, although eventually I hope not to

Julia, I hope things get better for you soon. This group will be here for support. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

A friend of mine at school loves T25. I hadn't really looked into it. I did Insanity for about 3 weeks, but eventually my knees and back couldn't handle it. I'm interested in the modifier in this program. It looks great.

BeLight, I enjoyed the bluebird of "happiness". Are you going to know how to act in 50 degree weather?

I'll be happy when this week ends. We have had 3 2 hour delays. The kids can't get into a routine this way and I work better with a regular schedule.

Here we go on to Week Nine!

Probably have to build a raft, while wearing shorts and a t-shirt, if everything melts that quickly lol

T25 does look interesting and I do like the fact that they are 25 minutes. In the Summer, if work picks up, I won't have an hour plus to spare for working out. Right now I actually am up at 5 but do not have to leave for work until 7. It is weird for me to not be rushing around in the morning. For years, we have been so busy that I had to leave at 6 to get there by 6:30!

I hate to focus on the weather at this time, but it looks like we may hit 80 degrees on Wednesday. It is our first track meet so the warm weather is very welcome.

Can I come camp in your lawn for a month or so? I promise to be quiet (except during TF workouts) and clean up after us! lol We are heading back to single digits above and below again!

Enjoy the warm for me please!

I'm thinking the same thing. T25 looks like a great summer plan. I would prefer not to spend an hour each morning working out when I can get some outside work done and of course work on my golf game.

Shorter workouts in the Summer is a definite, I want to be outside! T25 looks like it might be the winner.

We had our first track meet of the year yesterday. It WAS 79 degrees.

-7˚ here this morning, 'nuf said.

She kind of scared me. She says T25 is no joke. She says in a way some of the workouts are as tough or tougher than Insanity, BUT if you use the modifier there is less strain on knees and back. She's a good friend and we have done several workouts at school together with our faculty so she knows what I can and can't do. She believes if I can do the 20 weeks of TF, then I can do T25.

I'm still not sure either. At least we still have 11 weeks to think about it!
