    Still doing our fitness challenge :happy: :happy:
    Got to the Y again today and did 40 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes on the weight machines.
    I would like to learn how to do more exercises. I am just now feeling a little more comfortable a the Y and may ask for help.
    It may sound silly but all those people who look like they know what they are doing intimidate me.:frown:

    This is so awesome!!!! Look at all these new friends!!!!!!
    Welcome!!!!!!!
    I have two girls and a boy by the way, lol.
    Ok, did my workout yesterday, did more walking/dancing and 100 situps, although couldnt hardly get up afterwards, and for those of you who are wondering how i worked out a bit during holidays- im like 100 lbs overweight, i have to do something!!!!!!
    Today im dying of a headache, i think stress, i have sooo much of it in my life, but i wont bore you with details, unless you ask, wink wink. lol.
    anyway, im trying to think of a way to work out with such a huge headache, but does walking all around walmart with three little ones and having my car break down count as a work out???????????
    Love Jaelle

    Hi,

    I want in too. I'm getting married on March 16th and want to lose some weight.
    I did 3 miles today on the treadmill using rubber toning bands. I also did 100 crunches. I haven't worked out in a while and my abs are paying the price-they hurt.

    This is such a great idea!
    I'm trying Windsor pilates, my friend just sent me a bunch of DVDs. Has anyone does this, it's kicking my butt! I did an hour of that today and 20 minutes on the stair stepper. I'm trying to get the nerve to go back to my cycling class, but everyone there knows what they are doing...I think I'm going to go again tomorrow.
    Here's hoping :)

    I just picked up Windsor pilates from my local library! I plan to give it a try today - if my little ones let me!

    I appreciate this challenge.
    I made it to the gym 3 days in a row! :wink:
    My goodness, it has been so busy there lately. I guess it is good to see so many other motivated people!!:happy:
    Anyway I did a full 60 minutes of cardio. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    But, I confess I blew it at dinner, I kind of over justified the calories because of the excercise. :angry:
    Oh well, I am determined to do better today and make it 4 days in a row.

    Ok, im totally getting the 30 day shred dvd! Everyone seems to really like it!
    Yesterday the only exercise i could muster with my KILLING headache was 25 crunches and 25 pilates crunches things ( i have no idea what they are called, lol) and I was just proud of myself for doing those without throwing up, darn that headache. Today it is better, so I am going to do floor exercises- stretches, pilates moves, yoga moves, leg lifts, stomach crunches, etc. Then tomorrow I hope to do more walking/dancing. Oh, I hope to have my dvd by then too! I will do that.
    I am just LOVING this thread and soooo happy that I reached out to find a fitness buddy! Now I have so many new friends!!
    Maybe in a week or two I will lose a pound, lol. For some reason, when I work out, Im starving!!! Not so good when you are trying to lose weight! LOL!!!!:grumble:
    Love, Jaelle

    jaelle: Try eating before you go work out or have a protein shake afterwards that works for me

    momtothreebabies Posts: 106 Member
    oh thats a good idea, eat before, lol. I was so shocked at how very hungry I was afterwards! I felt awful about it!!!!!
    Thanks so much!!!! Everyone is so super awesome helpful!!!!!!!!
    Im soooo ready for warm weather when I can go outside and walk etc. play with the kids outside, run around and play soccer, etc. Im limited here at home, because we have no workout equipment and no money for a gym membership, so i just pop on my ipod and dance and walk in place, not sure if it does anything, but i sure do feel sore afterwards!! my kids think im HILARIOUS too!!!! that always makes me laugh watching them try to dance along! :laugh:

    Hi. I would love to join. I'm new to this whole thing. In fact... this is my first message. Sounds like more fun than doing it alone. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I made to the spinning class today, and I did the body sculpting class right before that! That's 45 minutes of strength training and abs plus 35 minutes cardio. I'm exhausted but I'm sooo glad I went! I don't if I would have if I hadn't gotten on here and read everyone's reports today!!
    :smile: Great job everyone!:smile:

    Let me know what you think! It's going to take me a bit to get used to it...everyone on there is so flexible! I think I like it though.

    So my Thursday workout took a turn! I had started the Windsor Pilates dvd & decided that I would do the first dvd (the instructions & beginner's workout). It went pretty well! I planned to do the next workout dvd which was a 20min work out. However, I got hungry & ate lunch while the baby was sleeping. A senseable salad, mind you! Then my husband calls & says that someone wants to see our house (we are trying to sell). So, no pilates video... However, I did find out later that night that house cleaning is listed on the site!! So when I figured out that in preparing for our house showing by cleaning for 3 hours I burned over 600 calories!!
    So my workout wasn't what I had in mind, but it worked!! :wink:

    Oh, yeah, & I did week 3 day 2 of the 100 push up challenge!

    You guys are are amazing. I workout 30 mins. a day. That's all. I know it's better than nothing but I hope to get more in as my energy level improves.

    so i got my workout in today!!! i really didnt want to excercise, so again i did double and now i feel great!!! i did level 3 and then level 1 of 30 day shred...i seriously thought i might die at one point but i kept saying to myself, push through it...push through it!!! well i got through it, i had to modify a little cause my knee was killing me, but i go through it!!! :happy:
    so.....every morning i really dont want to work out but i always know that getting the workout clothes on is the first step. after i get them on, i am always ready to workout, (i dont know why but it just seems to trigger something!!) so i decided that tomorrow when i first get up i will put them on right away, so i am ready to workout first thing, rather than being lazy in my pjs for half the day!!! if it works for me, maybe it can work for someone else!!! good luck and keep on moving!!!!:drinker: :tongue: :bigsmile:

    That's great!! As you feel yourself getting stronger you can push yourself a bit more & set goals! It's so exciting to see the small changes that occur after adding in just a little bit of excercise!!

    Great to have you here! :drinker:
