Gutless Gutters Challenge 1/7/09

Good morning!

Yesterday I did a weight training/cardio class burned 600 cal and 20 min on the stairclimber burning 300 cal.

I only used 149 of those calories towards my food journal. I had not planned on being at the gym as long as I was.

I think I'll only do 45min tonight. We shall see, I say that now.....

Somehow I knew I should have just started a new thread :grumble: :laugh: :smooched: I'm copying and pasting my post I put on yesterday's thread this morning:blushing: :bigsmile:

Good morning




Ok......so.......yesterday was my shorter workout day 23 minute TaeBo express workout (still a good workout...had me sweatin :smokin: ) and I walked the dog one mile. I stayed within my calories and drank most of my water but I was about 8 oz short Oh well....at least I got most of it in.

Anywho...today is my longer workout day........60 minute TaeBo workout (Full Throttle Amped) and a 4 mile walk with the dog tonight when I get home. OH...and I'm going to do 20 minutes of BL sculpt and 200 crunches too. I tried to wake up at 4 am to do my 23 minute workout again.....but....... ummmm :yawn:............ wasn't happenin I did, however, get in a 10 minute stretch. I am soooooo sore after not working out as much as usual over the holidays. Felt good to stretch my muscles :drinker:

Everyone have a loverly day........oh and if we start a 1/7/09 thread, I'll just copy and paste it :bigsmile: I didn't feel like starting it myself. :smokin:

Just checking in. I'm stranded in my house due to ICE!
Stuck home with kids and hubby!
I might possibly do some cardio here, or I'll give myself the day off today. Depends on the family!

AACK! We got some lovely ice here too in Indiana. Not enough to cancel anything though. Try not to tear you hair out today, Jen.:laugh:

Morning - weight unchanged. I suppose I need to go to the weekly wiegh-in as the daily fluctuations are definitely not helping, especially when my eating is much better. A for diet: Eating okay yesterday, too much protein at dinner put me 10 cals over, but I walked off 175 calories before turning in. Late excercise better than none at all?


Kellch you have me motivated to get a bit more strenous with the excercise, so you're my role model!
I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Have a great Gutters Challenge day all!

Great! It's good to know I helped you with motivation. Don't strain yourself too much. Babysteps is the key. I started by walking...at first 1 mile a day then 2 then 3...you get the picture. After that, I added 10 minutes of cardio and doing 10 pushups against the sink everytime I went into the restroom (even if to brush my teeth or peek in the mirror:bigsmile: )....then 20 minutes of cardio and 20 pushups...then 30...and so on. I eventually bought TaeBo tapes and started with the 40 minute jumpstart cardio and built my way up. I now have my 90 minute Ultimate TaeBo...I only do it 1 or 2 times a week but try to get in the 40-55 minute videos 3-4 times a week and walk 3 or 4 miles every day. I take one day every week, either Sunday or Monday, and only walk so I can give my muscles a chance to recooperate and I can relax. I try to fit in 100-200 crunches at night before I go to bed...forgot to put that in my check-in msg...it's like a habit so I forgot about it. Take your time, slowly build up, but push yourself a little further each workout....even now, I'll try to put a little more effort into tightening my stomache during certan exercises or squeezing my muscles a little more...lunging a little deeper...and so on...you can do it :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Good morning,

Lifted yesterday and have not posted dinner yet but I know I am under. I walked on the treadmill this morning. Only 1 soda yesterday, I bought a second soda and then stopped myself. Got my water in.

The scale has not moved yet but not dicouraged in the least bit with all the water I have consumed lately.

BTW I watched Biggest Loser last night, there is no way I have even begun to push myself after watching them.

We had some freezing rain and sleet last night too. What a wimpy winter, it has not even been tough enough to snow just ice and crap.:grumble:

Later.
:flowerforyou:

I'm not posting what happened on the scale this morning b/c I'll be censored over my reaction to it. Trying a new approach to plateau busting today so we'll see if it works! Have a good day everyone!:flowerforyou:

B4 - Good job on sticking to one soda! That takes a lot of self-discipline when you're used to having it so much more often.

GOt 40 ozs of water in already today. I did my step class this morning and burned 575 calories. I am going to go and do level 1 on the shred now. Will have to see how many calories I burn on that then going to make me some chicken and put it in my salad for lunch. I weighed for BL challenge and I have not changed in a month. I am working my butt off these past 2 weeks. I have to break through this plauteau soon.
