Turbo Jammers 1/5-1/11

greeneyes-I've been doing Cardio Party 1 and 2 and just rotating them. I get in Ab Jam, Lower body, and Turbo sculpt when I can (which isn't very often). I workout 5-6 times a week. I think my eating habits have a lot to do with the weight as well. I'm drinking water (a year ago I didn't know what water was hehehe). I try to get in 100 oz a day and I drink 16 oz of green tea every morning. I stay in my calories everyday...yes this includes eating my exercise calories...that's why I exercise so I can eat :happy: I did have a month break where I was going thru some emotional things and just couldn't bring myself to exercise or plan meals. When I finally pulled out of my funk I jumped back in full strength and haven't given up. My mini goal is to be down to 182 by the end of the month. So I have 6 lbs to lose this month....not unrealistic. I think that has been a big part of my motivation too...being realistic in my goals. I don't expect more than 2 lbs a week...sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't.

We can all have the results we want we just have to put in the time and effort.

Your so right.....it is a matter of time and effort.......I have just such a hard time to keep the momentum going and then after one slip I revert back to my old ways......I am an all or nothing kind of person .....I am either completely perfect or so bad......my added motivation this time is I am turning 40 in May and really want to start out my 40's with some excitement and not having to focus so much on my weight.....that would be such a great accomplishment......I know I won't lose it all by then but I would like to be under the 200 lbs mark....just to see a one again would be great lol....thanks for your info and i can't wait to try cardio party 1 (don't have cardio party 2) is there such a difference between the two??? or is one a beginners and the other intermediate???

thanks

Hi everyone - hope everyone's day went well! I just finished TJ cardio party #2. I really like TJ, she makes it soo much fun. How's everyone else doing?

The length of the workout depends on the dvd.

20 min. = 20 min. (obviously LOL)
Cardio Party = 40 min.
Punch Kick & Jam = 50 min.
Ab Jam = 20 min.
Turbo Sculpt = 40 min.
Fat Blaster = 30 min.

Those are the ones that I have. I do what I want to depending on the day. It came with a recommended chart for what to do on what day, but I don't follow it.

Z was up about 5 times last night & up for good at 4:30 so I'm drop dead tired right now. I'm hoping that my workout can be squeezed in & then I'll feel better. *sigh* It's been a rough week!

The past few days have been hard for me to squeeze in everything. Baby has an ear infection & is teething so she's clinging to me like crazy. I just got in 20 min. with hubby. I think I'm going to try to do something else before I fall on my face from exhaustion.

Jenn - love the doggie pic!

Thanks 3babybeans! She's my "Big Girl" - nothing but a big teddy bear. I't makes me feel good to know my dog weighs more than me! :laugh: Is that a new pic for you? You're looking good!!

Meant to say sorry about the babies - I remember those days. Hope they get better soon!

Good job, Lyn! 3# is awesome!!! Back in the right direction!

Just got done PK&J...off to do my AbJam for the black team challenge this week. Pray for me? LOL

"I hope you enjoyed AbJam!" :happy: BAAAAHHHHH!!! The ONLY TJ workout that I dread. BUT, I nearly made it. Only had to skip a couple sets on the floor. Maybe next time I'll see the whole thing! LOL

Just finished Fat Blaster and burned 229 calories. I don't burn alot with these workouts. Last nite I did 30 day shred.

That's a good way to think about it, Lyn! Good job!

I just got done with the 20 min. workout with hubby & Turbo Sculpt with the boys running around me like morons. Ugh I'm going to try to sneek in at least FB or Cardio Party at some point today yet. I think I broke my plateau & I don't want to see it come back!!!!

How do you guys log Turbo Sculpt? I need a dang HRM.... There is "strength training/weight training" under cardio but I'm pretty dang sweaty after I get done with it & am thinking that the calories might be off. Eh. I don't really care for exact calorie count, but I was just wondering what you all did. LOL

Hey Jammers,
I decided to join you guys and I'm pretty excited!! I've been reading your posts about TJ and I am a DVD person (work schedule does not permit gym time) I've been doing The Firm for the last 6 months,before that I was doing taebo boot camp. I just started 10 minute trainer about a week ago to have some more options when I don't have a whole lot of time (i do love the stacking and the resistance bands!) I was looking for a fun and challenging cardio workout that really works, has good music, and offers various options on length and focus. I mistakenly bought "flirty girl" cause I thought it was "sassy and cute" but the instructor was off the beat of the music!!!! It is a different kind of work out and I'll use it but the It was a little anoying being off beat, lol!!.
I like the idea of having some folks that I can encourage me and who will encourage me as we make the trek together. I would appreciate some feedback/results you all have gotten w/ TJ so I can stay pumped up until it gets here - hopefully before end of week w/ the "free" express shipping !! Looking forward to the results.

DH just laughed at me and shook his head when he saw me ordering ("what are you getting now"!)- glad he is understands I need variety to keep this thing going.
Look forward to chatting and keep it up!
