Turbo Jammers 2/23-3/1

I tried twice...it didn't work.
The first time I tried, T woke up & I was only 15 calories in...I think 4 min. into the warmup :laugh: So I had to go get her. She nursed & was happy so I tried again....Nearly done with the first section & Z comes out of his room SCREAMING & was even more mad when he walked out & saw me exercising. "Mommy! NOT NOW! Z is SAAAAD!"
Of course, dear...my world does revolve around you today. *eye roll* I got 100 cals out of the warmup & first section, though so that's something.
My husband wants to learn PK&J for weekend workouts so we're taking it piece by piece this week so that'll burn some more. Maybe I'll convince him to clean up dinner for me tonight so I can finish PK&J without him & actually get in a dang workout today! OY! I hate days like this! I get so annoyed when I get into one & then get pulled away. I don't feel like I accomplish anything. GGGRRRrrrrr...
Kelly - Z was the same way waking up that often until he was nearly 10 months old. Then, we decided it was time to let him cry it out b/c I simply couldn't take it any more (Doug was working third shift and wasn't help when he was home anyways. :laugh:). It took about 3 nights, but it worked. I feel for ya! Micah was the same way, but he decided on his own at about 9.5 months that he had enough. Tabitha's just my miracle baby. :laugh: If she wakes up at night you KNOW she's not feeling good...so guess what we've been doing every night.
blah blah blah. Gotta go take care of stuff.
Lyn - Where are you, lady?!0 -
Good afternoon Ladies!
Dragonfly...Chocolate cake
so bad, yet sooooo gooooood!!! :laugh: I made a King's cake for my daughter's Mardi Gras party at school, so of course I HAD to make an extra one for home! Luckily my family is a pack of vultures but I managed to sneak a small slice before they devoured it! :laugh:
Babybeans and Gottaluvboyz...I remember the days of trying to workout with little ones and I feel your pain! I used to do a lot of yoga and Aidan used to do swing from my arms and legs like she was on a jungle gym! It drove me crazy at the time (I mean couldn't I even get 45 mins to myself!! :grumble: ), but now that they're older I sometimes miss those days!
msplatts...Vegas sounds great! Trips always motivate me a little more too!
Got in PK&J and Fat Blaster today...Have a great evening everyone!

Sara...that stinks! I hope you get your workout in tonight
As far as crying it out...I would, but he is still in our room (don't get me started...DH is still not done w/ our bedroom downstairs; therefore, Ryder is still in w/ us). W/ him being in there we have to listen to it KWIM? Parker was 18 months old before he slept through the night and we just went w/ it. I could nap during the day when he napped so I wasn't as worried about my sleep. Now w/ three kiddos I miss my sleep and napping is usually not an option.
I keep telling Eric if he would get the room done (to his credit he has been working on it lately..a lot more...it's just quite a bit of work and DH is not always "into" home improvement)...anyways if he is still waking up when we get downstairs and he is in his own room upstairs I will let him cry. It just stinks!
Megan...WTG on your workout! You made me laugh talking about your son hanging from you...that is so my boys when I'm doing pilates. I'm too fast for them during TJ:laugh:

I didn't know R was still in with you! Well, that makes things MUCH different! Yuck! Tell hubby to get a move on! I'll come help you paint! :laugh:0

I'm here finally and I will tell you I'm ready for a drink already today!!!
I got up this morning knowing I was going to need to get a quick workout in because we had a playdate this morning. I really needed to get the kids out of the house (they are ready to kill each other already and it's only Wednesday). So I get the kids breakfast and do FB. Jumped in the shower got ready loaded the kids and went. After the playdate we did lunch at Subway before I had to drop of the kinders at school. When I finally get home, Adi is screaming hungry because she didn't eat very well because of all the excitement this morning. So I feed her, finish my lunch, and then attempt to get ready to go to the grocery store. I saw attempted because during the process Adi has a blowout :grumble: By the time I got her cleaned up and changed, I realized there was no way I was going to get to the store and back in time to walk over to the school to pick up the kids (and I really need my walk today). So I sat down, logged on and started to put in my food for the day...I think I'm over already and I haven't even had dinner. I should have only had a 6 inch but I didn't have breakfast so I was starving! Oh well live and learn. Adi is now sleeping (THANK GOODNESS), so I am going to enjoy the next 30 minutes of peace and quiet and then get ready for my walk.
Yesterday I should have worn my HRM on my walk. 1 mile in 19 mph winds...pushing a stroller. My legs were sore by the time I got home. Felt great though.
Msplatts-Can I go to Vegas with you???? I need a vacation and I love Vegas. Last time I was there Drevan was 6 months (and at home with gma and gpa). We are actually thinking about going to Reno with my brother in law for the Hot August Nights Car Show.
Dragonfly-I really doubt the cake added 4 lbs that quickly, and remember the scale is just a number. You've lost (almost) 80 lbs I'm sure you are feeling great regardless of the number on the scale.
Kelly I'm sorry your little one doesn't sleep through the night. I hope your hubby gets the room done soon. Good luck with letting him cry it out. BTW I love the name Ryder
Sara your little clapping encore picture made me litterally LOL yesterday! 2 funny. I totally agree with you on getting interrupted during my workouts. I get so frustrated. It's only 40-50 minutes, can't you find something to do for that long and not bother me???? Alas 40-50 mins is a LONG time in a childs mind.
I think I've decided that rather than buying a house, I want to take Dre to Disneyland for his birthday (in Oct). I actually wanted to take him last year but I got preggo and that didn't work out. I haven't been to Disneyland in 10 years and hubs has never been. I'm pretty sure I can convince the parents to go with us so we have a babysitter for Adi. I'm pretty sure we could go and have fun for much less than a down payment on a house
gotta go get the kids!
Have a great day ladies!0 -
Wow sorry that got so long!0

Do you drywall, how about run electrical wires, frame doors, lay carpet, and a million other things too:laugh: That place is a wreck!!!! 0 -
Hey There All,
was reading the posts about all of your kiddos and I think i'm a little jealous:blushing: Your homes sound so full of excitement and good energy ~ I love the creative ways you found (and are finding) time for your dear ones, your husbands and yourselves. When I was able to have kids the doc said I shouldn't and now that I am married to a wonderful man ... no plumbing. Wasn't in the cards for me. I've got nieces and plenty of other wee ones to lavish all of that maternal instinct on but I still wonder sometimes what that would be like.. full time. I am amazed by all of your energy and dedication to your families~ you all are my heroes:drinker: :drinker:
Just finished PK & J and Ab Jam ~ now I have to find some food - even after I keyed in dinner I have over 900 cals left for the day - I am sure I won't be hungry, right now I think my body is in shock:laugh:
OK ,so no sweets( except for fruit) for the next 40 days is latest the goal ~ I must be nuts!!!
I'll keep you posted on my progress, lol!!
Have a great nite

My 10 year old daughter did Turbo Jam tonight. When I asked her why she did it she said, "Cuz it's fun".0
-
Hey Turbo Girls! Its been awhile since I was on here last week! Sorry~ Missed you guys and the good spirits! We went out of town last Wednesday and had a hard time getting to the computer....however I DID take my Turbo Jam with me and the bands!!. So here is the breakdown for the week since I am playing catchup! LOL! Mon-PKJ, Tues-CP, Wed-CP2 and Kempo from PX90 and Today was T3 and CP2. Hope you'all that are sick get better and lots of rest for the little ones! Lots and lots of fluids! Check in tomorrow with you!0

Lyn - Kelly & I were just talking about the wonders of Vodka as a morning drink yesterday...it sounds like you should have been in our conversation! :laugh: The DisneyLand idea sounds great! If the house plans don't work out, why the heck not!
Kelly - All but the electrical...I don't think you want me burning down your house. :bigsmile:
Dragonfly - *hugs* I'm sorry you have missed out on having kids. :frown: It is good that you have all those neices & nephews, though! I'm sure you are an AWESOME aunt! 900 cals left for the day? Three words: Girl Scout Cookies. :laugh: I did PK&J tonight & I asked my husband if it was bad that I was measuring my calories burn in how many Carmel DeLites I could have. LOL
Kimono - Get that girl in here! That's awesome! You must be proud to be raising a daughter that is already enjoying exercise!
Jalley - I'm proud of you for exercising while you were away! I'm panicking a little thinking of our vacation in May & how I'm going to get my workouts in for a week! Eeeekkk! Did you at least go somewhere fun?!
I FINALLY finished PK&J last night with an intermission of teaching my dearest husband the first set (the knee, punch combo thingies). He isn't the most coordinated of people, so it was quite interesting. :laugh: He got it, though! Tonight, we're powering through the first set & then I'm teaching him the Death Squat set (as I like to call it). With all that, I ended up burning 600 cals! YAY! Like I told Dragonfly, I looked down & said, "Wow! That's 8 girl scout cookies!" :laugh: Hey! I have my priorities! So, with me starting & stopping & starting & stopping & starting PK&J yesterday, I ended up burning 737 cals. Maybe I should do that more often? :huh:
NOT! :laugh:0 -

Hey, Megan! When you do PK&J & FB in one day, do you do them one right after the other or do you do them like one in the am & one in the pm? I was thinking about this the other day & was wondering if there was a calorie benefit to doing them back to back or not. Talk to you later!0 -

I usually do one am and one pm, and I notice if I leave my HRM on after I'm done, I continue to burn calories for a good 1/2 hr after I'm done. Yesterday however I was feeling really sluggish, so I did FB first to get moving then (without doing the cooldown) went right into PK&J. I think it's probably better to do them separately (calorie wise) cause you'll burn more over more time, but some days I can't seem to get my heart rate up with the regular cardios so FB first definitely helps!

Good Morning Beauties,
Wanted to say hi before the day get moving and wish everyone a fantastic Thursday!! Started off the day with FB this morning and really got a good sweat going ~ it always feels so good when you're done:laugh:
WIll check in later my friends have a wonderful day:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 0 -
Hello all...I don't have a lot of time to post. Great job to all who get in their workouts! Keep it up!
Today is my brother's b-day and tomorrow is my mom's b-day...we are celebrating tonight. I need to make a cake and "triple" batch of cabbage-n-noodles (per my brother's request). Planning on a major workout so I can eat a slice of cake and a little bit of cabbage-n-noodles.
Have a great day all!0 -
Hi ladies!
Don't have much time myself today, but I wanted tocheck in with CP3. Hope everyone has a great day and a good workout!
:flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning ladies!!!
My daughter was up until 1 am, so I slept in today. Thank goodness the little girl I baby sit didn't come today (we are taking some time off cuz the kids are getting brutal). Now I need to find the motivation to get my workout in...I will at some point cuz I'm going to do cp3 today and I just love it so IT WILL BE DONE!! hahaaha. I'm also gonna try to get some sculpting and maybe a little something extra in today. Weigh in tomorrow and I'm afraid it's not going to move.
We ate at a friends house 2 nights this week and I really had no control over the food or the portions she served. And then Tuesday we went to McDonalds and tonight we are going to Wendys. UGH I know it's terrible. We have got to get back on track with home made meals. These last two weeks have been terrible!
Kimono-That's great that she's doing it just for fun. I have had to change my outlook on exercise because since doing Turbo Jam I don't think exercise is terrible anymore. It can be fun you just have to find the right thing.
Jalley-WAHOO!!!!!! Great job on doing your workouts while away. That's so great.
Sara-that is wonderful that your hubby is still doing TJ. Mine doesn't even talk about it anymore.
Kelly-good luck with the birthday dinner and cake
Megan-WTG, I love CP3!!
I'm off for now. I'm sure I will be on again later today
Have a wonderful day!0 -
All you TJammers can come to Vegas with me! It would be awesome. Thanks for the advice, I think I will have my clothes ready to go so I can roll out of bed. I should start getting up early anyways if I see babies in my future.0
-
Lunch time check in,
Just noshing on a lean cuisine sesame chicken and thinking of you guys.
Ms Platts - I have my clothes on the closet door knob(inside) and my sneaks right by the bed to remind me of my commitment to myself. It seems to be working so far, so good luck!
Drevansmom- You are really consistent with your exercise and food so a couple of days couldn't put you back that much! Who knows, you might surprise yourself and go down a few! Either way just don't eat the cake:laugh:
Jailley- I think it's awesome that you actually made time to work out on your vacation , that's so inspiring for me. Way to go!!:drinker:
3babybeans-My DH is asking me to help him with his diet now .. after the cake, lol!! Thank goodness he ate the last of it last nite!! He said he "wanted to eat healthy ... just don't get carried away" . That's a hoot!! If it says lite, 2%, fat free, sugar free or anything like that he won't eat it. I guess I'll have to slip that stuff in there ~ he probably won't taste the difference anyway, lol. as long as he's not cooking!! As for TJ ~ i think he's scared of it!! He sees me all red in the face and covered in sweat and just doesn't get it!!
Gottaluvboys- Have a terrific birthday celebration with your family and enjoy!! Good for you getting your work out in first!!
Megan- CP3 is truly my favorite ~ good job!
Kimono- I think it's great your daughter exercises b/c it's fun! With that frame of mind she's on her way to adopting a fit lifestyle and that's so important. Guess she's learning from Momma, huh?
I have a board meeting tonight so not sure if I'll have energy when I get home to do anything (maybe ab jam or 20min) but I am definetly planning on either PK & J (PB & J,lol) or CP3 for in the morning... and something else when I get home, probably FB + AB Jam. to all I missed and I'll catch ya later,
J0 -
Gosh that was long ~ looks like a novel!! apologies!!0
-
Hi all...did CP, 20 min workout, Ab Jam, and 45 min of pilates.
Have a fantastic night!!!0 -
Gottaluvboyz, great job getting all those workouts done with such a busy day...now you can PARTAY!!!:drinker: :drinker:
Jailley, WTG on the vacation workouts!
drevans_mom, I know what you mean about eating out! The weekends are bad for me...too much running around with the kids and hitting McD's or Wendy's. I try to take some fruit with me then just steal a fry or two from my daughter.:laugh:
babybeans and dragonfly, I tried to get my hubby to do PK&J with me a while back. He's a third degree blackbelt, so I figured he'd like this. Well even PK&J was way to dancey for him...the poor guy has absolutely no rhythm :laugh: Although it did give him an appreciation for how great of a workout it is. I got him to sign up on MFP too which is pretty funny; we get to the end of the night and he sulks because he's out of calories and I still have hundreds left. He has lost 4 lbs though and our joke is that Turbo Jam works so well that I can workout and he loses weight just watching! :laugh:
Have a great night everyone!
:flowerforyou:0 -
Megan that is so funny! I think my hubby loses weight just to upset me! The man does nothing and eats like a horse and he can drop 15 lbs in like a week. His body is really weird cuz his weight can seriously flucuate like 10 lbs from day to day. Dang men!
I was all geared up to do a big workout and by the time I got thru CP3 (breakfast was hours ago and I hadn't eaten lunch yet) and I was so dead by the end of it. Daughter was sleeping so I climbed into the shower and enjoy not having to rush thru it. Sometimes an uninterrupted shower sounds better than more cals burned.
Still haven't had lunch but I did eat some snacks and boy can I feel the effect on my blood sugar and attitude. I'm not avoiding eating I just didn't want to eat anything heavy 2 hrs before dinner. Needless to say we are going to get food soon!!!
Kelly-I seriously don't know how you have the time. Your workouts are amazing!
Must go save the baby. Laters0 -
I did CP this afternoon. Might hop on the treadmill later tonight also.0
-
Hey Girls! Just checking in real quick...all my shows are coming on tonight! Did FB all turbo intervals! Yeah! and first 10 min of AbJam...thinking about doing turbo sculpt tonight...depends on my mood I guess! Keep on working hard girls!0
-
Oh! Does anyone know the difference between the F4 and F6 Polar heartrate monitors? Really want to buy one over the weekend!0
-
Drevans mom...my DH was home yesterday (which helped). He works a rotating shift and never more than 4 (12 hour) days in a row. When he is home I can usually get in a quick mid-morning workout and then another during nap time.0
-
Megan...too funny about your DH. Mine gave TJ a try as well, but it was too "dancey" for him too. He uses the gazelle (which I loathe) and is doing pretty good . Yesterday, he was joking that I started working out before him...he went downstairs to work out...came back up to find me still working out (and kept it up for another 30 minutes)
Jalley..WTG on that workout! I really need to get FB
I don't have a HRM so not much help there. I know Sara just got a F4 and I'm not sure what the others have. Good luck w/ your decision!
Kimono...WTG on Cardio Party!0 -
Oh! Does anyone know the difference between the F4 and F6 Polar heartrate monitors? Really want to buy one over the weekend!
From my research, the only difference is the "interference" factor. Like, if you go to a gym, get the F6, otherwise it'll pick up other people's monitors. If you stay home (like me), the F4 should be fine for you. I haven't had any problems yet! Considering I got it for $25 cheaper than the F6, I was a happy camper. :bigsmile:
Kelly - I hope you get more done with DH being home today!
I just cranked out a serious workout b/c I'm having food guilt this week (stupid freakin' amish friendship bread being so tasty with its cinnamon sugar goodness...). Yesterday, I got in AJ & CP. Today, I got in FB, TS & 20 min. I think I'm done for the day, though. I have to drag the kids all over creation doing errands...thinking of good bribes right now. :laugh:
Have good days, ladies!0 -
Lyn - I'm glad you're getting a break from the additional child. That can be very overwhelming especially with how the kids were behaving. TTYL! :flowerforyou:0
