    I need some ideas for strength training to do with my cardio. I burned 1001 calories today all cardio. I need to switch it up. I'm still 218 so I need some beginner type excercises.


    Ask someone who works at they gym you go to (do you go to a gym)...they can really help you out. I had actually asked a lady who goes there all the time. She came up with a program for me and I absolutely loved it. I noticed that once I started it, I started to lose weight faster. I am actually going to start it again next week. It's a six weeks program, but you have to be dedicated. I don't have the sheets with me right now, but I will try to remember tomorrow to write it out for you. I LOVE IT!!!

    Thank you so much I would really appreciate it! I am definitely dedicated to this. I don't go to a gym right now I just own an elliptical, I run , and I do the 30DS program.

    Woo-hoo, victorious! Well done, ladies!

    I am up about a pound from Monday. It's TOM, which means *everything* is six times harder, my toddler has reverted to infant sleeping habits, and I've been horribly stressed.

    However! Effective today, I am a Permanent Resident of Canada, and I have finished my first 10 days of 30DS. Even better, in addition to having finished L1, I also lost 17" overall. So, while the scale is being heartless, my measuring tape loves me. I can handle this! Plus, I start L2 of the 30DS tomorrow! Woo!

    Yes!!! That's fantastic!

    And way to win the fight Rach! You are in charge now! You looked that drink in the eye and said, "No! I don't need you!" Good girl!

    Once I knew the tornadoes were going to miss us (yes, I'm in Massachusetts and I did say tornadoes) I did the 30DS with no weights. My neck is a little sore but it's been sore all day. I feel better for working out.

    Just wanted to check in! We're almost done with this week already, and hope everyone is doing fantastic!!

    I'm in my first week of getting back into getting up to workout before work. Oy!! 4:45 comes fast!!! LOL!! But, I've gotten a really decent workout in the last two days, calories have been excellent, and I'm making smart choices for them! I am addicted to my new breakfast!! Chobani and a VitaTop! Love the protein, love the fiber! Love, love, love that it's like eating a muffin, so it satisfies my sweet tooth, but that it's good for me!!! :)

    Keep up the good work everyone!! What's the plan for the weekend??? Any fun and exciting activities planned that the rest of us can be jealous of?

    Staying more focused and the scale is moving in the right direction. Hope to keep off the 2 pounds that I gained last week. However, the weekend is coming and that's never good for me. I'm having my son's 6th birthday party on Sat so I'll be running around with a bunch of boys all day which is good, except there will be cake...

    Yes! I'm glad you were able to tweak your diet into action!

    What concert are you going to?

    Deftones!!!! With Dillinger Escape Plan.

    It's extra exciting because the Deftones are kinda of my boyfriend and I's 'band'. Their newest cd came out around the time we started dating and we used to just sit on his couch listening to it over and over and over, talking about music. :heart:

    Fun! Remember, going into the pit is considered good exercise. I think that's how I stayed skinny back when I was "young". :laugh:


    I've been wanting to go to a show so bad lately, but it's been impossible due to my work schedule. I can't take off holiday weekends (and ALL the good shows happen on holiday weekends, grumble). I *will* go to Viva Las Vegas one of these years though, I wanted to go SO BAD this year but found out too late (plus, who wants to go to Vegas when they're only 20? )

    It looks nicer without the flower, which I promptly removed when I got home. I think someone sewed it on, it didnt seem like a part of the actual dress.

    I love the dress, too!

    I'm really excited for this upcoming week. I feel motivated. My goals are:
    1. Keep working out like I've been doing. I'm killing it.
    2. Stay at or below my caloric level (and eat back all my exercise calories)
    3. Drink water with every meal and snack

    What a gorgeous dress! *_* It looks wonderful on you, too!

    Day 11, Level 2 done on the 30 Day Shred. I'm FINALLY, after nearly six months, in a place where I feel all off if I miss a workout. Being in level two does mean that I need my toddler to actually SLEEP in the mornings so I can get that workout in. GAH. Here's hoping! ^_^ In the meantime, I'm still battling AF, and hoping that the scale will show as much progress as the measuring tape does. ^_^

    Signiicantly reduced the sodium intake the past couple days, but today sucked! Damn hot dogs! I will be back on track with sodium tomorrow. I burned 1029 today and drank tons of water so hopefully that helps me!

    Oh man, 30 day shred is showing me just how out of shape I am. I did day 3 of level 1 today and it's a bit easier but I still feel like I might keel over. I'm having a bit of trouble with the fruits and veggies but that's mainly due to being completely broke until tomorrow. I plan on keeping the fridge well stocked with plenty of stuff or at least some v8 smoothies.

    Hope everyone else is doing well, so happy tomorrow is Friday!
