    I could probably pass out right now guys. Running under the hot water for a few and then I'll be back before bed :)

    What is everyone's plan for this weekend?

    First thing on my list - SLEEP! been feeling like I'm coming down with a cold, so hopefully if I catch up on some ZZZZ's I'll thwart the damn thing!

    Going to the movies with my mom tonight, we will likely see the new Harry Potter (though I'm not so huge on the franchise)

    then...sometime over the weekend I plan to force the hubby into helping me rearrange our place some - i want to put the TV that's in the bedroom into the den (which we are setting up as a workout room) we have a treadmill and a bowflex and a stationary bike in there already, so once the TV is in there it will leave NO excuses. also will give me somewhere to do workout DVD's :)

    what about you?

    Sounds like fun! I'm thinking sleep as well, haven't gotten too much of that this week.

    By the way, the new Harry Potter movie is actually pretty good :)

    I don't have any concrete plans right now so I'm thinking I'm going to have a little me time, catch up on sleep, food, exercising, etc.

    Great idea! It sounds like the Extreme Makeover Weightloss Edition show! They makeover the livingroom into a work out room. You can't ignore it when it's right there!

    Good luck!

    I plan on completing week #1 of Turbo Fire. Today is Day #5. Starts Week #2 on Monday. I also hope to go and lay out by the community pool...starting to lose my tan :-(

    Other than that...I want to so some weight training...gotta figure out a way to incorporate it into my TF and walking.

    Any ideas??

    Turbo Fire is M, T, (W = rest), TH, FR, SAT, SUN - want to walk 2 miles a day and eventually increase training for Half Marathon in January 2012.

    Keemeri, buy some dumbbells :) They're relatively inexpensive, depending on the weight. That way you can incorporate them daily just by doing 10 reps a few times throughout the day :)

    We have a festival here (oh no lots of sweets and chocs..will be hard to keep control ) and might be moving home this weekend. :)

    Thanks! I have the 3, 5, and 10 lbs weights. I just need to pull it into my exercise program. Maybe in the evening after TF. I can start off with 3's....I do think TF will incorporate them into the routines in later weeks. :-)

    Kierra - enjoy :) Don't be afraid to indulge in the yumminess. It's only one day after all. Where is "home" to you? :)

    Morning all! What's everyone's plans for today?
  • Keemeri

    I need to grab some breakfast and jump in to my Turbo Fire 30 before the day gets away from me. Going out to eat with family this evening...crosing my fingers I will be good! It's a Creole restaurant. I will look up the menu prior to going.

    I want to add something else...maybe walking on the treadmill since it's still over 100 degrees outside. I have gained weight this week! I am hoping it's from my body adjusting to the Turbo Fire workout (muscle??) or fluid. Either way...I can't let that distract me!

    Moving on..

    Have a great day everyone! HM...sorry about your relationship issues...when I was going through similar issues...it actually gave me strength to focus on exercise..burned off my anger/anxiety.

    Good luck!

    Invest in a tape measure to take your body measurements. That will give you more accurate results :)

    And it's okay. Like you said, it gives me the strength to focus on the things I need to do to keep myself healthy. I don't tend to eat my emotions (never did, not sure why), but I do tend to kind of overthink things and stress myself out way more than I should. Stress is SOMETIMES good for the body.

    Today, my plan is to pick out paint for the trim at my dad's house, so gonna spend some time walking while doing that. I need to burn off some calories so that I can eat a real dinner :)

    After all the hard work in moving stuff between homes I did not feel so guilty indulging. But did so in moderation. Home= India :) the land of festivals (and think yummy butter dripping delicacies and sweets ;) )

    Emotional stress specially from relationships is my problem area too. But learning to smile at myself and give positive thoughts a priority. Do read 'The monk who sold his Ferrari'. It may sound a cliche advice but it did help me :)

    Kierra - You've been working hard, you should not feel guilty about having a little indulgence! After I have been super healthy and exercising every day this week, I know I'm probably going to go over my calories for today. But I haven't had anything super unhealthy so I keep that in the back of my head :) I've just had sort of heavy meals.

    And thanks, I'll read it :)

    Hello all just thought I share how my day went with giving in to much. I bought some cookies for the kids of coures :P but I ended up eating 8 of them Im still with in my daily goal for calories and such but I feel guilty for indulging a little to much Okay I also had a pizza pretzel and havent gone over. I guess I feel guilty because for the past month and a bit i have been eating really health. Any how just needed to confess talk to you later and Im glad there is a group for support. Cheers all

    Hey Cdc - don't be too strict with yourself. It's ok to have a "cheat" day once in a while, no one on this site will judge you for it (especially not me...I'm certainly not perfect)
    What kind of cookies did you buy?
    I'm a huge sucker for the Peek Frean LifeStyles Vanilla Bean Latte cookies...3 cookies for 140 calories, and they taste amazing.

    and Pizza Pretzels are heavenly...mmm :)

    Like meowthania said, don't feel guilty! If you've been eating healthy and this isn't a daily occurrence, then there's nothing to worry about. Everyone has their cheat days :) It's good to see you on here, hun!

    Stefnicole - Welcome to the group!!
