@haleymiller0707 Yes I joined the Labor Day group too. Trying desperately to get a few more pounds off before I leave for 3.5 weeks on Aug 31!!

@haleymiller0707 Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. As I always tell people, taking care of yourself and being healthy doesn't begin and end with diet and exercise. It includes getting enough rest, letting your body heal when it needs a little TLC.

@jpkrueger If you know anything about the hotels where you'll be staying, maybe you can plan out your exercise while away. I knew I would have just enough room (and carpeting) at my mother's, which is how I knew I could do Slim in 6 while away. I'll start Brazil Butt Lift 3 weeks before we leave and (hopefully) have some idea of how/what I'll want to modify. Of course, I'm so used to having to switch things up because of my physical conditions that I should be able to figure out what to do and how to do it. And my yoga socks will give me the traction I need even if there isn't any carpet at one of the hotels where we'll be staying. (Guess what? Rob is planning on exercising while we're away too! How crazy is that?)

@germany03 Welcome back! I hope when I get back from my trip, I can celebrate not doing too much damage. Not sure I'll be able to pull it off because I already know one of the hotels insists on putting chocolates in our room every night and a plate of chocolates in there every other night. How cruel is that?

@misslazo718 My son, who lives in Chicago, is doing PiYo with me, sorta. I found out today that he has been slacking off this week. Totally NOT fair because I've been doing Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution on top of PiYo. What can I say? My son is a slacker. LOL! (I'm super proud of him for joining me and he'll be here in a couple of weeks so maybe we'll even do it together.)

Everyone

Remember how my darling husband was doing P90 at his own pace. He would take days off because of work--long hours of physical effort--but pick up right where he left off on the calendar. This week he advanced to Level C and he's already planning his next workout. Plus, as I mentioned above, he plans on exercising when we're out of town.

But who cares about the vacation???

My darling daughter turns 33 today and we're going to have pizza and Black Forest Cake and no sugar added ice cream and wine. Happy birthday! Woohoo! (And, as you all know, I loooooove pizza! Not as much as I love my daughter . . . but pretty darn close! LOL!)

@haleymiller0707 yes I have ...we bought the fitbit charge hr on yesterday ..but...I will not "get" it until next week...I am seriously so exited about that darn thing...lol..like a kid in the candy store..can't wait to put it on and work it

@SatiaRenee the hotel gods have sworn themselves against you..chocolate every night...not a temptation I could resist..lol...enjoy it girl...and think of me ..haha..

So I have honestly not been doing good with keeping up with the excersise dvds this week. .. but I have walked my mile again at lunch time so I feel a little better about it. I have been able to stick to me Co taints or less so I feel ok with that. I can tell by the way I feel that I am making progress just not as great as if I would hit the dvds daily too

Today I woke up and got my Dirty 30 done! I doubled up Thursday with lower fix & pilates so I was able to get back on track with the DVDs. I am very much looking forward to Yoga tomorrow...I think it is my favorite dvd haha
I have been making an effort to follow the meal plan, could probably reign it in a little tighter though...but I am feeling good

So I haven't been on top of things as I planned to be. I feel like perhaps I am going to start a new round on Monday (08/31)....I tried to start last week but this week I am not following the meal plan 100% like I really wanted to do and I am not waking up to get in my workouts like I really wanted to do. Super frustrating. This week is TOM so it is easy to blame it on that...but I will hold myself accountable...this weekend is an end of summer night out, we are camping at the ocean with a group of our friends--there will be food, drinks and all that fun stuff I love lol So..I am going to finish out the week with an attempt to eat well and I am going to do all my workouts but I am really going to start fresh on Monday--with weigh in, measurements and all that stuff I hate lol

Would like to start this again.. right now I am just doing 30 Day Shred with 5k runs. Was thinking of adding in the 21DF on days that I don't run.. also need to get back to the gym and do some barbell squats.

@mscote12 not that I wallow in your frustration but I am kind of glad to hear you say you want to reset on Monday- I was thinking the same exact thing for mainly the same reasons. I had a really hard time the first week to get back in the swing of things and then I got sick...no watching my food and no workout for me since past friday. I can tell my body isn't happy with all this processed food but I was too sick to cook or plan. Jr started school again and has been keeping my mind busy with getting all that situated...I am giving myself until Monday to get enough rest and get back in the right state of mind....but then...let me tell ya...ITS ON!!!

@mscote12 enjoy yourself!!!

This weekend is Family reunion weekend - meet and greet last night, cookout this morning and early afterrnoon and banquet tonight. Awesome dun, yes food but best of all family and just good old fun and enjoying seeing the kids get to spend time together and enjoying eachother. Fun and relaxation...just what the Dr ordered. (And thankfully on the weekend before my reset -so no excuse to step out of my upcoming 3 weeks)

Today is day 1 for me. I have been slacking all summer and it's time to get serious again. Today was a good day eating wise, food is prepped and I did Total Cardio fix.
Hope you all had a great day

Finished Day 2.....Doing my best to stay motivated!! Breakfast and Lunch prepped for tomorrow!
