    Lets go Blue team. Ok So I got my ChaLean Extreme yesterday so hopefully I will lose more weight this week. I dont care if I am sick I will do it today. I have got to get back to losing if I want to weigh around 200 in Sept for Disney.

    Well I did make it halfway through plyo. I pushed as hard as I could with each exercises til my legs were practically jelly, but I know I can do better. I just feel like I have this mental roadblock. Like once I get 20min or so in, my mind is telling my body 'Eh, that's good enough for today'. It's so frustrating! I guess I'll just work to push through it every time, no matter what. I just don't know what my problem is.

    Anyway, I've been eating pretty clean. My bf wanted steak-umm's last night so I had a small sandwich, half a plate of veggies and a grapefruit. He made some weird steak-umm, turkey bacon, egg, cheese, and mayo sandwich. I had a bite of it and MAN was it GOOD! Hahaha.

    The mats are really nice...I'll try to get a picture of the room here soon. Today is S&A and ARx. I think I'm going to do ARx first like Cindy was talking about. I always seem to forget or brush it aside after the bigger workouts.

    Back to work!

    Rach - What's S&A and ARx??

    Connie - goodluck!! I've read a lot about ChaLean Extreme and hope to get it.... one day!! :bigsmile: I'm not ready for that yet.

    I did 3 miles from the 4 mile Leslie Sansone video last night and I LOVED it. Burned 385 calories. Unreal!!!! Unfortunately, though, our apartment is in a pretty old house (it's a duplex) and the floor is really creaky and I was working out in our bedroom. My boyfriend came upstairs to see what was up because he said he could hear me "bumping around." :laugh: If you're downstairs and someone is walking around upstairs, you hear it popping and creaking. :embarassed: I told him I was busy. LOL. But, he did hear a really big bang that wasn't me! The tank he keeps his rats in to feed his snakes fell off the stand in our reptile room. Now all the rats are loose somewhere in that room! :ohwell: I love rats, but I'm just afraid they're going to chew electric cords or something.

    I hope you guys are having a wonderful Thursday! I can't believe we're already in week 6. How exciting!!!!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: How long does the Biggest Loser show last??

    So I decided to work from home a majority of this week. It is nice because I am not tempted by the foods at the local restaurants. But go figure I get on the scale this morning and lost a pound. It just never wants to come off before weigh in. I am hoping to get in a workout tonight after school.

    Hope everyone has a great day!!!

    You are a better sport than me - NO snakes and NO rats in my house! When my son was about 3 his cousin (20 yr old at time) took him to pet store and brought home a hampster - well she did ask first but what she brought home was a mouse - first time he went to pet it, it latched onto his finger and hung there - it wouldn't let go - he finally was able to fling the poor little thing off but needless to say was then petrified of it so the next day it went back to the pet store....I laugh now but it wasn't so funny at the time.

    Did level 3 of shred yesterday - hoping to get to fitness center today to register and get started. I've been under on my calories 2 days in a row - gotta do better....done well with water.

    Have a great Thursday everyone.

    Poor little guy!!!! :flowerforyou: LoL, I used to have a pet rat... but, my grandma rat-sat for me one weekend and decided to keep him. :smile: I try not to mess with the rats my boyfriend brings home because I know they're so cute I'll get attached and then he'll feed them to one of his snakes! :grumble: I don't like the snakes, but they have their own room so I don't have to see them, unless he takes them out. He has 7 and is getting his last one (for a while) sometime this month. Then he'll have four sets of males and females... he wants to breed them and sell the babies.

    ... on the positive side, he also has an iguana and 5 Euromastyx lizards (which he also plans to breed)... they're great. :smooched:

    lcorrell - S&A and ARx is Shoulders & Arms and Ab Ripper X, from the P90x set. Sounds like a fun house you got there! I'm done with pets for now (still looking for a good home for our turtle and 3 piranhas) but we bought a friend of ours a 6ft baby boa for Christmas the year before last. He has a few snakes and some scorpions.

    Great to see the blue team here! Alive & Well!!

    Today is my official REST day! I hate rest days... can't eat as much!! :laugh: But, it'll give me the rest I need to get read for step class tomorrow morning!

    Rach your workouts sound awesome! I do some light, very light, weight training, but I'm thinking of doing more! Has anyone tried the BL power sculpt dvd?? I figure since I like the cardio one so much that the sculpting one should be comparable, right??

    I'm in .. motivated and ready for week 6. I have started my " journey " with being really determined this year 1.1. 2009.. but i have not started to record it here until 2-3 weeks later.. it is week 6 for me and i'm since 1.1. officially 6 lbs down.. .Six weeks followed this plan-
    of journaling and counting calories, and 6 lbs down.. which is exactly 1 lbs a week.. when I look at it now.. it wasn't every week, " 1 lbs minus " there was i think two weeks with some lbs up.. and than " 0.3 down etc.. but it came out to an even #..
    Which proves , it all comes down to the " final " result .. keeping the bigger picture in sight..

    I'm in.. go Blue !

    Wtg Borac. I am proud of you. I have been on here since August so that is almost 6 mths and I have lost 37 lbs so that equals to more than 1.5 lbs a week. That really isnt that bad now that I think about it. I was getting a little down because I wanted to lose more but not to bad I guess.

    It says I am supposed to rest tomorrow from ChaLean so I guess I will do 30 day shred. Im still not feeling well enough to go to they gym. I made Turkey Chili for dinner tonight. It was yummy. My hubby wont touch it. Which is probably good because he asked me the other night when I was making chili again just so he could make some farts in the bedroom to get me back he says LOL. Well I think I am going to sign off for the night and go and lay down soon. Need to try and rest as good as I can so I can work out.

    I haven't had a good eating day the past few days - well not horrible either, but I know I could do better! I think part of it is not having a daily routine any more. :ohwell:

    Slowly recovering from this pesky cold! :grumble: Hoping to get back to the exercise next week. Although it is supposed to warm up here over the weekend so maybe I can take the dog for a walk at least!

    Let's Go Blues!! :drinker:
