200+ Summer Meltdown!

so my A.D.D. kicked in again during p90x. I still have quite a bit left of the workout to do. Anyways, I was working out, had on black pants and was absolutely COOOOOOVERED in Lexi hair. Paused the workout, vacuumed, and also decided to just take my pants off cause it would irk me knowing I transferred dog hair back to the carpet lol. So here I am in my tank top and panties, sitting here waiting for Tony to finish whatever ridiculous amount of reps he's doing and I notice something. My thighs are smaller. :bigsmile:

thank you, that is all. Now back to your regularly scheduled program. :bigsmile:

Tae - not sure if its just in Oregon or what, but I see commercials on the tv to contact a specific law firm for the side effects of taking Accutane. You might look it up online to see if your symptoms are one of the things listed in the class action lawsuit. I'm not saying to jump on the band wagon, thats your personal choice, but maybe you need to look up what other people are having issues with? If I remember correctly, and I might not, there is something to do with the lady bits issues.

Kendal - thats hillarious! Go girl!

Kristina - hi! Colorado sounds fun! I'm not weighing in for months. No reason to doing P90x. My goals are to stick to the program and eat well. That should take care of the rest.

Tonight was Plyo. FML. I do NOT like that work out, all that jumping ugh. Plus my computer stopped twice so I had to get it going again, and then G needed help with something once. I know Tony says I could do Cardio X instead but I think I am going to stick it out. I'd like to see improvement. I had to modify many of the jump squat things but I was drenched when I was done so I know I got a good work out. My BMF says 458 for the hourish.
Tonight I will start wearing the BMF all day again. I'm putting it on right now!!

Check in for Monday: 2664 calories burned/ 2108 calories eaten/ 556 calorie deficit

Hailie: Hola! (I understand Spanish having taken 4 years of it in high school and being married to someone who is fluent in the language but my speaking ability is slightly retarded by my more prevalent knowledge of Vietnamese and German). I don't think pedometers are particularly accurate so don't take that 500 calories as the final word on the matter. You may very well be burning more. You asked what I like and hate about Insanity, here you go. Like: It's intense cardio and I know I worked my booty off for every workout, I have visible results, I am a lot stronger than I used to be. Hate: I hate squat jumps with the white hot passion of a thousand suns. But you know what? I can do 40 of those bad boys in a minute whereas I could only do something like 10 the first time. I think you are our only youngin' on this thread. To post pictures you have to upload them to someplace like photobucket first. Then you can copy the IMG tag for your photo into a post here and we can see the pics.

Lacey: That Plyo workout is ROUGH. I hate those lunges that he makes you do on your tip-toes. Yuck!

Kendal: Yay for smaller thighs!!!

Tae: I have heard bad things about Accutane but I didn't know about it rotting your teeth. That's horrible! I like my Kinect games. I recently purchased Zumba and it's really a good workout. I have some Zumba DVDs and I think the Kinect game is much tougher than the DVDs (taking a real class at a gym is the best but it's not always an option). We also have a Sonic hover boarding game that The Kid loves but isn't really my thing and an adventure game that is really fun but deceptively a good workout and a game that has a bunch of different activities from darts to basketball to football. It's really cool and way better than sitting on your butt playing video games.

Nava: The Super Burrito recipe serves 12 so one serving of the filling is 212 calories (9g fat, 9 g protein, 4 g fiber, 218 mg sodium). That includes the cheese but not the tortilla.

I walked the dog this morning and I plan to do a Zumba workout later on today. I had to scrap the idea of running as my groin is still in pain. I want it to heal as quickly as possible so I can start Asylum as healthy as possible so I'm kind of taking it easy this week.

Good Morning Super Pals... Check-in for Tuesday 2624 burned. Exercise an hour bike riding and 1/2 hour with mom doing low impact aerobics. I'm taking a break from logging food.

Annette - I'm 42 so you're not the only older person on here (*winks*)...

I've been reading posts and enjoying all the comments but havent found the time to reply individually.

Yesterday was my first day eating 2000 cals and I'm terrifed. What if I'm wrong? What if it just makes me gain? Should I eat 2k cals on days when I only have p90x? (yesterday I did c25k, mowed half the yard, killed a snake, core syn for p90x, did the dishes and some laundry and then it was 11pm and time for a shower and bed, I know I had enough calories burned yesterday). Isn't that what most of you ladies found out once you got your 24hr calorie counters? You were burning way more cals and not eating enough?

Mr. Reunion is coming over tonight. He wanted to come over last night but I was just too busy. We have a wrestling match planned cause he doesn't think I can roll around on the floor and text at the same time. LOL Should be fun! (I was texting while p90xing last night....thats how that topic came up lol)

I forget who asked, but I'm in North Carolina!

Kendal: Are you a big pop drinker? I have never understood why people like Mountain Dew/Diet Mountain Dew. It's always hard for me to drink 8 glasses/day. Good luck with Warrior Dash, p90x and c25k! What color/design will your tattoo be?

omg YES I'm addicted to Diet Mountain Dew. Although sometimes I get to a point where I drink it so much, I can't really taste the flavor of it anymore so I switch to a dark soda for a while so when I switch back, I appreciate the Diet Dew more.

I buy a styrofoam cup from the cafe downstairs thats 32oz so as long as I drink 2 of those a day, I know I'm getting enough water.

And I have no clue what color/design I want for my tattoo. I'm not an artist at all. I was thinking a girlie font/script in like, blues and purples. But the tattoo on my shoulder is a blue daisy with purple stars on either side of it. I'm trying to decide if I want to use the same color scheme or not. I'm wondering if I could go talk to a tattoo artist and let them draw up a couple ideas for me. I think that's how my sister did it when she got the phoenix on her shoulder.

I don't have a whole lot of time...

Kendal - IMO any tattoo artist worth their weight will just about always redraw your design to make sure it is going to look as good as possible. I've gone in and argued with a guy before until we were both happy with the design of it and also just told them what I wanted and had them draw it up until I liked it. Not all will do that, not all designs need to be redone also.. I guess what I am saying, if you go to a reputable shop, specifically one that has an artist you've found online who have drawn up work or you can see their pics, they should be able to do something for you with just an idea. Often times it seems like they flourish when they get to have a say in the design. Their bios should tell you something about what styles they like to work in (black/white, color, etc). In my experience anyways. I'm lucky to live in a town full of alternative lifestyles and there must be about 15 tattoo shops in Eugene alone.


Annette - I live in Eugene Oregon.


So far not feeling like plyo worked me out super well even though I was drenched in sweat last night. This is probably because my upper body is so damn sore from Sunday today. I have muscles deep in my chest I've never felt before!

Who just went UP Hell's Hill in my neighborhood? This chick right here! It's called Hell's Hill for a reason!

You ladies are funny!!!

Kendal - the tattoo artist's drew up design and made sure I approved for both of my tattoos. Maybe ask for a couple of designs - then chose your fav. An artist's eye sees diferently than me. I told the last artist my cat was tiger stripe black cat so a black and white tat would work - he pulled up internet pics until I found one like my cat. He proceede to say can't you see the brown and other color shades. He talked me into a color tat and it looks sooo cool. That tat was an impulse on my first visit to Vegas. The artists will make it look great. Id suggest an area that can be covered up for interviews. Or small enough to be covered with a band aid. Many people love tats but some are prejudiced and it could lead to missing out on a dream job.

Annette - I live in Michigan near where the upper and lower peninsulas meet... Millersburg, MI.

Picture posting doesn't like me! I'm not totally computer stupid, but the directions just aren't cutting it, or I'm missing something. Any ideas? Tried message boards & blog both. I feel kinda dumb right now & it's stressing me out.

Congrats to everyone for the great weight loss..... especially Katie & Jenn:drinker:

I have been down with fever since yesterday & do not feel like eating normal meals and have been having urges to eat sweet & high fat foods OR comfort foods:( I have not made good choices today, though still under my goal & hoping the fever goes away soon! Hardly any energy is leading to no workout & logging in at the end of the day to do the needful with entering my food (though I seriously did not want to do that)

Just perused & see everyone is doing great!!!! Keep it up & will touch base soon:)

hey everyone. so wonderful news. my gain from the past 2 weeks was from TOM water weight. i checked this morning and was back down to 238!!!! *twirls* *cartwheel* *does a happy dance* i am thrilled. hopefully it will continue to go in a downward direction.

in not so good news i have a tension migraine. it starts above my left eye, wraps around to the back of my head in a diagonal direction into the neck and shoulder muscle. it sucks. its the 2nd one this week. grrr. hopefully i will be able to get rid of it by tomorrow before work . i just took 800mg of ibprophen and now im going to get some sleep. night every one!!!

Check in for Tuesday: 2704 calories burned/ 2217 calories consumed/ 487 calorie deficit

Amber: I'm glad the weight gain wasn't real. I hope your headache feels better.

Lacey: I love that you call Ab RipperX - Ab Raper, it totally is.

Suzie: Feel better. Having a fever sucks!

Crystal: While I agree that you should be losing weight for you, I completely agree that it is very satisfying to send a "F You" message to someone who sorely deserves it.

Karen: To post pics 1)upload to photobucket 2) copy the IMG code - it begins and ends with [I M G] 3) Paste the IMG code into your MFP post and change the capital IMG to a lowercase img and post.

Hailie: Yay for Hell's Hill!!!!!

Annette: I was born near San Francisco, CA but HOME for me is Monterey, CA (on the Central California coast)

I've been keeping myself busy during this rest week with my school work and Zumba. We're also trying to come up with something fun to do this weekend as it's a holiday and it's The Kid's 8th birthday. I'm thinking we'll go visit Neuschwanstein castel or do something in Bavaria. Have a good one ya'll!

*chirp* *chirp* Kinda dead on here.

Hallie - Yeah on the hills. They are still my kyrptonite.

Karen - I lose my gift cards all the time. Hopefully, you'll find it soon.

Crystal - Yes, we all need to lose the weight for ourselves, but if the idea of f-youing the ex helps, I say use the motivation.

Suzie - Hope yo feel better soon.

Annette - If it's not too late, I was born, raised, and (unfortunately) have moved back to Decatur, IL.

Check-in for Tuesday... 2297 cal burned / 1345 cal consumed / 952 cal deficit. Did BodyFlow today, not a heavy-duty workout, but a couple NSVs. For those that don't know BodyFlow is a combo of Tai Chi, Yoga, and Pilates. I was able to stay in downward facing dog AND plank positions without going down to my knees! I also feel like my overall form is getting better. Obviously my fat rolls get in the way sometimes, but it's getting better. Also, my wife has started working out with me when she's available and she loves Zumba! Yeah, I have a workout partner!
