I'm not skipping!!!!!!!!!! Worked late and haven't done my workout yet but as soon as I get home I'm doing it if it kills me!!!!!!!!!!! And this is the reason that I like to get it done and out of the way in the morning before all the excuses start to roll in...

Done with my workout for today, yay!!!
Have a great night.

@Toneitup_jess Sad you're leaving us, but good luck on your journey!

@rumswood we all have those days (or weeks)

Well.... I had a much longer reply typed and it cut it all off when I posted it.... maybe it's a sign I'm too long winded....

Was curious @rumswood if you had decided what program you're doing next. I'm probably going to repeat this program one more time so, @1TheQueenB I'll be around for awhile so we can keep checking in with each other!

Happy Friday!

I have 8 more days till the final workout!!! I can't believe it!

Glad to hear I won't be alone...I was wondering if I was gonna be the only one posting. Can't wait to hear your results from start to finish.
Sad to see you go @Toneitup_jess but as long as you do something, that's the point of this journey...I've quit JM a few times for various reasons and I know how it feels. You have to do something that you don't mind doing so that you won't dread it daily...no fun in that. I'm gonna keep doing her workouts until I get bored and find something new. As for now, I've got two weeks under my belt and my head is still in it. I'm gonna keep it there for as long as I can mentally and physically...I'm getting compliments and people are noticing that I have lost some inches. My clothes fit a little better, I can even notice it in my face.. I'd be an idiot (not the first time sadly) if I didn't continue what is working for me. Also not watching the scale has MADE A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN MY PROGRESS! You just have to do what's right for you at the moment. And change your mind as needed (haha)
@MarissaBlevins220 don't you hate when that happens??? You write something long and feels so important and it gets erased!

30 min run complete and I did JM cardio #1 too.
Two weeks down!!!!!!!!! On to week #3 on Monday! Have a great weekend people!

@1TheQueenB I eat low carb, but if I'm too strict I have horrible cravings and feel sluggish, I notice that if I allow some carbs I feel much better. Like if i have a salad, I'll add some croutons, or if i have eggs for breakfast I'll have one piece of whole wheat toast. I just limit myself and I try to not eat them late at night, it has really helped with my energy, and I'm still losing pretty consistently. You just have to find what works for you.

Today was my Rest day but I still went walking this morning and got my 10,000 steps in. We had a get together with my Husband's family, and everyone kept commenting on how big my baby has gotten and how much smaller I am! I've lost nearly 45 lbs since he was born. It felt so good that others noticed. My hard work is really paying off. It's so different when others notice because I still feel like I look the same. Yay for NSV's!

Other than that, tomorrow is day one of week 12!!!!! The end is in sight! Can't wait to see my final results but, I've lost right around 15lbs since starting the program!

Week 3 day 1....boy did it kick my butt! I think this is where I quit last time and I see why (haha)...Jeese Lois!! I'm beat! Doesn't help that before my workout I walked on the treadmill for an hour alternating inclines up and down while I waited for kids to finish dance class..

I'll definitely have to try to get thsee workouts out of the way in the morning so that I don't dread it all day!

@MarissaBlevins220 I really enjoy hearing about your low carb version...sounds more like my idea of low carb. I had scrambled eggs and a slice of wheat toast for breakfast.

I was on the low carb forum and some people are very serious about eating the minimum...NO BREAD, ETC... not even wheat. I feel like when I need a little something, little is better than a whole loaf! And I'll eat wheat in morning, rarely for lunch and usually no carbs for dinner.

I don't want to accept a food addiction title...maybe I'm in denile and maybe I'm just not a food addict. What ever I am, I just want to be able to exercise self control when necessary...most of the time...and have an occasional drink, or snack, or small piece of b day cake, or go out to eat with whoever and enjoy a tasty meal...not to say that all these can't be healthy choices but every once in a while..I might not feel like caring....(did I say all that out loud?)

Agreed! @MarissaBlevins220 . I found that the less that I got on the scale, the less I felt like my treat/indulgence made that big of a difference...not to continue eating bad all day everyday, but that it wasn't the end of the world and important to just get back on track sooner than later. I've done better just trying to make small changes and better choices rather than be fanatic about it. Right now I'm trying to lower my carb intake without counting macros and calories, just better choices and it's working! Clothes are looser and people are noticing...

Workout complete! Actually I enjoyed it better than workout 3. Tomorrow is Cardio, thank goodness. night night!

Workout complete! But today hasn't been the best food day for me. Does your period interfere with your decision making? I'm due in 4 days and I feel weakest at this time and hungrier than usual...tomorrow is a new day.

Congratulations @MarissaBlevins220 !!!! I can't wait to see your results! What a way to end your JM workout program by climbing Stone Mountain! Way to go!

I'm still on track with my workouts, I missed Friday cause I was so busy and worked late and then had plans for the evening but I made it up today. I also started10k training today, MAN, was it hot out!

Unfortunately my food selection is slipping in the wrong direction. I'm trying to keep the workouts going, to try and get me back on track. I hate these stupid hormones...I was doing so well. I still am. It's only been a few days...

Monday begins week 4 for me. Time is flying!

I just posted my final measurements in the Results thread, so hop on over there if you wanna check it out! I'm really surprised at how much I have lost! Even with me sucking at pushups and there are still a lot of moves I could never master! It's so true to just do what you can, modify if you need, and if I still couldn't do it I would just march in place.

Just don't give up!

I'm back at it today.
Week 1, Day 1

#NeverMissAMonday

So, I did my workout earlier today and I also just finished Week 1, Day 1 of c25k. I signed up for my first 5k in a few weeks and really need to get it together lol.... I think I might skip the first few ones though, it just wasn't very challenging, which I am shocked I am even able to say that... @rumswood weren't you using c25k awhile ago? Also, did you start a new program, I'm excited to hear which on you picked and how it's going!

Hope everyone had a great Monday!
