Thanks Amy! I was getting a little worried but I guess it is normal. I need to look at next month's schedule to see what is on deck for the next 4 weeks.

Until I reach my goal weight, I am trying to burn at least an extra 600 calories a day. That is why I added in workouts. Plus I get in as many walks as possible during the day. Even 10 minutes of brisk walking at a time really adds up!

Coach,
My husband coached track and field for over ten years. This is the first year he didn't because he is working on his phd. I know from personal experience how draining coaching, especially track and field can be! I worked a track and field meet once and it is exhausting! I bet your burn a ton of calories during those practices and games! Great Job!

Extra steps are extra calories, sounds like another bonus to coaching!

Sounds like you had an awesome Spring Break! Glad you enjoyed it.

I'll tell you what is crazy. The bar and outdoor seating on the boardwalk/pier was busy. I guess it was 5:00 somewhere.

I wish I knew how to post pictures. I have an instagram account where I posted many pictures of the sunrises and sunsets. Of course my account name is coachreyes

We would go the beach with a cup of coffee and sit on the beach watching the sunrise. There were many people on the beach, hanging out, jogging or just sitting enjoying the sounds of the rolling waves.

I knew I would have a few "bad" eating days, but for the most part I really tried to eat well. I did enjoy a chili dog at each ball park but nothing extreme. I really wanted a funnel cake, but stayed away. haha

I don't like to spend money on a lot of items, but shoes is a priority. As much time as I'm on them at school, practice and working out, I can't stand to have my feet hurt.

So glad to be getting back into the routine. It has been difficult because I had so much fun last week, but if I want to have more fun this summer, I need to be disciplined.

Here's to a great weekend.

I believe you will make the weight loss goal.

TF has really gone by fast. I am definitely feeling like I'm in shape and can see progress. I smile when I think about the first time I ever did a TF workout.

The not so negative thing right now is my clothing dilemma. I have really cut down on my pant sizes but am not in the mood to purchase new slacks with only 5 weeks of school left. But that's a good problem. You have to remember, I will go three months in shorts.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Keep pressing play.

Way to go you two! Since I can't stand shopping for shoes, my husband goes for me. He is a sneaker head and has so many that people think it is a shoe store. He just picked up a pair of Under Armor shoes for me last week. My issue with clothing is my work slacks and belt are too big. I am waiting for the weather to stabilize so I can break out my tank tops and sleeveless dresses. Who wants tickets to the gun show?

Argh! Did seriously gain about 3 pounds?! Maybe it is muscle? Maybe it is my intense love of sweets and carbs? Also, why I am so hungry right now? Sorry for the random rant lol

I admit I weigh most every day, but, I only let myself believe what I see on Friday morning. Otherwise, I would have a hard time staying motivated!

We are the saggy clothes bottoms class! Woo hoo!

Filled in my last day of the 75 day challenge, 700 calorie deficit for 75 days:

53,763 total 75 day deficit

8,019 that I didn't burn

All in all 14 pounds lost

Have a great day!

Hey teach. How far did along were you in your TF workouts? Nothing wrong with going back to week one. Another option is to go to the beginning of the Cardio stages and go from there. The best option is to make up your own workouts. Fire 30 and 45 EZ are the lowest impact I think. If you do 45, 55EZ and 60 you can skip the Fire Drills also.

I've always said that listening to your body is the best thing to do. If walking or something else is easier to do then that would be good also. Those of us on this board are here for support, accountability and support. You don't have to just be doing Turbo Fire.

Chalene says it best, make a workout a non negotiable in your life. Set some time aside for you.

Take care of your foot and I look forward to seeing you check in

Hey everyone sorry I have not been around. To answer Amy, yes, I did get the floor fixed. But there have been other issued that I haven't mentioned but now I'm going to get out there.
I've been on an up and down roller coaster dealing with chronic migraines and endometriosis.

Hey everyone... You have probably long forgotten the above person. This is a little weird but that is me. I tried a few times to come back with motivation after surgery but it never happened. So I deleted my old account (like an idiot) and started this one. I finally found some motivation locally, a friend in the same town that happens to be a Beach Body coach. Who would have thought that in a small town of just over 300 people I would find someone that was as into fitness and health as I am. Anyway, she is helping me find my way back, and I was wondering if I could join you guys again. Pretty please?!

I'm completely starting over with Turbo Fire. Today is day 3 in my schedule. I wanted to come back in here though to reintroduce myself and basically say "I'm back". I also wanted to say; sorry for bailing and for being gone for so long. The recovery from surgery took a little longer than the Dr said, and the emotional aspect of it took a toll as well, which I was not expecting at all.

On a positive note, the last time I was active here it was much colder... it's finally warming up!!! Not to mention it is that lovely time of year for THUNDERSTORMS! I absolutely love thunderstorms. I hope you all are doing exceptionally well with your programs, and hope your days are going well too!

Diane, really the only one that can motivate you, is you I admit I rely on this class to keep me on track. Days I don't want to workout I think about having to admit that I didn't and force myself. Even if it is not my best effort, at least I did it. Come on back to class and dive in, you will be glad you did it!

Hi Julie! Welcome back!

I thought of you the other day when I realized one of the boards in my living room floor has started squeaking when I work out! I am trying to get used to working out over about a foot from it lol

Glad you are back at it, feel free to refriend me if you want. I am on week 18, but plan on continuing with Turbo Fire through the Summer.

I understand about working out with the hubs. My husband isn't necessarily too hardcore, we just aren't even in the same ball field with what we like to do.

My husband used to coach different high school sports and play football. I played tennis but none of my coaches used my hubby's style.
