My running has taken a back seat to life and it need to be a priority with the glass slipper coming up. So tom I'm running and wo 4. I don't work Soo have no excuses. Every one keep up the great work.

    Hey guys! Just wanted to check in!
    I'm on week 3 of my program, and to be honest my nutrition has been awful.... I went on a Chinese, pizza, cookies and ice cream binge.... lol Back to reality!!

    I found this before picture today and it really put into perspective how far I've come. Just want you all to know that I was nowhere near perfect a long the way. Obviously lol. You just gotta keep pushing, and all of your hard work will pay off. Every step in the right direction is a victory.

    I'm so glad to help! ;)

    MFP has really helped make my success possible. I love being able to feel accountable and motivated all in the same place. I haven't been logging as diligently but I can tell my eating habits have dramatically changed from my past. I also haven't been logging my daily exercises but just know I am still doing my workouts 6 days a week! Hope everyone is having a great week! Kick @ss and take names!!!

    Hey everyone! @MarissaBlevins220 my Running is going great! I have ONE MORE DAY till I graduate from my 10k program..I can officially run an hour, which gets me to 5 miles. I'll need to work on my speed to get that extra mile in for it to actually be 10K but I'm excited and pleased with my progress. Next is half Marathon training starting soon. I just can't wait till the weather cools down! Even in the morning it's still so warm!


    Congratulations on your 5K!!!!!! Whoo Hoo! It's such a great feeling of accomplishment isn't it??
    And btw, I LOVE YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO! So motivational! Baby steps do really add up, you've reminded me.

    @jsmith0724 great job in continuing your progress and not waiting till Monday...bad habits set in so quickly and then they are hard to break again and again!

    I'm still on track with JMBR, tomorrow is the last day for workout 8..then last cardio 2 on Saturday ...then on to phase 3!!!!!! Kinda nervous but I'll get through. I'll need to work on my eating but I think that's for the rest of my life...I try to follow the 80/20 rule. Can't expect perfection but I do put forth the effort most of the time.

    Have a great Friday and Weekend girls!!!!

    Today was Phase 3 - Day 1 workout 1. It was hard but doable. Some moves I'll just have to work on :blush:
    I did my final run and now I'm done with the 10k app. Yay! I'll keep running though.

    My stomach is still kinda upset from all the grease I ate this weekend... :neutral: I'm working on getting back on track and it being back to normal, less bloating, less crappie in there, minus grease...it tasted good going down but not so much coming back up...

    You guys are so awesome!!! So ridiculously inspired!

    I recently started a group on Facebook just for us ladies working on our fitness, please add me on Facebook! I'd love for you guys to join me!
    Marissa Blevins

    I'm in week 4 of Country Heat, I've lost another 5 lbs, which puts me at a total loss of 55 ! That just sounds insane to me! But I feel great and I really couldn't have done it without the support I found in accountability groups like this, hence why I felt so compelled to start my own...

    I hope everyone is having an awesome week! I get to spend the weekend at the beach! I'm so excited, and have everything I need to continue my workouts there! Yay!

    so glad I found this group! I am halfway through week 3, doing cardio 1 today and hopefully a run later this evening. Is anyone this early on in the program? I haven't noticed any difference in the way I look, but I'm definitely stronger! yesterday I moved to 8lb weights for most of my workouts cause 5lbs wasn't "heavy" anymore! I also noticed I can eat more and maintain my weight haha. (maintaining is not my goal but at least I'm not gaining??) feel free to add me on MFP, i'm not that active with calorie counting or logging anything but I'm hoping once my kiddo starts school next week I'll have more time! :)

    @cocolo89 welcome! I don't log food and exercises but my runs crossover from TOM TOM to MFP. I'm on Phase 3 week 1. I haven't checked my scale progress but my sister weighs me. I know I have gotten smaller in size and stronger but I just need to work on controlling my mouth a bit more. But small changes get you big results eventually.

    Hey everyone! I worked out this morning but I guess I pulled a neck muscle, I think it's how I slept. I didn't run after work because 1. I didn't really feel like it. 2. I got to see an old friend at work. 3. My neck was still hurting. 4. I stayed at work to catch up on stuff.

    I don't feel guilty but I feel the need to catch up though...
    I'll get it done.

    By the end of the night, I will complete my cardio assignment. I ate too many cookies and pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting, almost like a binge fest...and now I'm paying for it mentally and physically. I'm trying to get my head back in it. I need a good workout a few good runs....something. I want to lose 5 pounds, four times. mind games........

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in!
    I've been on vacation but there's really no reason to miss a workout! I've almost completed my 30 days Country Heat but the past 2 days I did yoga because there are people below us in the condo we are staying in, and my husband said I sounded like a herd of elephants when I did my dancing routine lol. So out of respect for the people trying to *enjoy* their vacation, I took it down a notch. Bahaha!
    The program I followed is called 3 Week Yoga Retreat, it was just released from Beachbody and I got to try it out using their Beachbody On Demand website. Which is so awesome!!! I can play any of my workouts from virtually anywhere! So I did yoga on the screened in porch using my phone to stream the program. No yoga mat? No problem! A beach towel did the trick! Loved it!
    Hope everyone has been doing great! Love to hear that everyone is staying committed and kicking *kitten*! Way to go!
