GM,
I late on posting but :
9/5- 1.8
I'm commiting to 45 minutes of cardio everyday from 9/5 until 10/31.
Wish you all the best of luck.0 -
Good morning mummies!! It is a wet, yet wonderful day in Atlanta. It seems the weather is showing signs of fall
i was able to get in a good hour burn yesterday and it felt great! I am going to aim for 20 minutes today, but its not certain...you know, kids need me :happy: what is your plan for today and how is your week so far? I am hoping for a pound this week. We shall see....going to get a cup of water and start my work day...ttyl!
Good morning to you Lady T... and to all our new challenge members!! This is so wonderful that we have so many new faces and a brand new opportunity to make new friends! I love that!
Here in Trinidad and Tobago, we are hot and sunny as usual... beautiful waters surrounding our islands and great big happy smiling faces, despite our Government continuing a Limited State of Emergency to deal with crime issues.... Our party island still finds ways to party!! lol... As for me, I'm hoping to hit a pool bar this weekend so I need to ensure I get all my exercise in for the week... and eat as clean as I can so when I drink a couple glasses of Johnny chased with Coconut water, I wont put on any llbs!! :blushing: As well, I might be having a "date" this weekend so I wanna look and feel great for that!
I bought a Zumba DVD recently and started doing it on Monday of this week... so far I've done 110 minutes which is 10 mins short of 2 hours.. so if this week's mini challenge is indeed 2hrs for the week, then 12 minutes into today's workout, I'll be over that... I need to do at least 45 minutes per day to be able to continue losing weight, so I'm pressing on.
I hope we all can make the time for ourselves this week and really kick off this challenge with a bang... We deserve the best of ourselves and our families deserve the best of us!!! Let's do this Mommies!!
ps... again I say, for any new member that wishes to add me, feel free.. I sent out some requests but couldn't get to all of you! lol... have fun today girls!!0 -
yes it is...thats the goal...i broke it down to 30 minutes 4x a week.Good morning mummies! Lets make it a good one! Yesterday was not a good food day..i ate whatever and drank whatever...im determined to get back on track today, so lotsa water and healthy eating today. I have not put a dent in my 2 hours of cardio this week yet so i plan to hit the pavement for 30 minutes today to start. Mimi, how is training going? I signed up for my 1st 5k on October 2nd as a motivational tool to get out there and exercise. Whats your plan for the day ladies? I have been aiming for less carbs and i go along in my journey im still pineing for cetain things so i am tweeking my diet, as i want this to be a lifestyle change. So i have added back milk, which is not used alot in low carb world, and i also am having bread on occasion (whole wheat) as i love sandwiches. Although i want to cut back on carbs, i dont want to cut them completely as that is not realistic fom me personally. Lets do this mummies!!
Hey I have a question Toya... is that 2 hours total per week??0 -

I like your drink idea for the weekend..i have a drinking filled weekend as well, im thinking rum and coke, diet that is, lol....anyone have anymore low cal drink ideas for nicole and I in case we want variety?0 -
Got in my second day of 30DS last night so I am also well on my way to meeting the mini goal for the week. I am wondering if my weight loss will slow because I am doing 30DS. I have heard that people lose a lot of inches but not so much weight. What have any of your experiences been if you have done this program?
I came in under my calorie goal again yesterday (actually a little too far under once I worked out). I will try to do better today. I am at work right now so I will do day 3 of 30DS when I get home tonight.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!0 -
Good morning all! I hope all of you mommies have a great day. I did day 1 of JM 30 day shred yesterday. It was hard, but I'm ready for day 2...
bring it on!!! I just can't stay sitting at my desk too long today at a time or I will get stiff.. LOL :laugh: well can't wait to see the weight drop off...my goal is 3 lbs by Saturday... 0 -

my experience was a loss each week.. i lost 10 pds in a month. i think it depends on how good u did with your food as well. if you have a good food week and you do 30ds everyday, u should, if u eat alot or over your calories u probably wont see a loss with just jillian. its trial and error, but i lost big time....love 30DS! you guys are really tempting me, lol!0 -

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! We are half way through the work week already! I had a great day yesterday got my work out in during my lunch then worked my second job last night. We are in the play offs and were super busy, I was pouring beer and running back n forth between the two stands none stop last night, definitly sweated my butt off lol! We lost last nights game
but we will win tonight (hopefully) and that will put us in the championship round!! Ive only got 2 more days of working two jobs then back to having my evenings free to be able to get in an extra work out. Tonight will be a blast my bestie's little sister turns 21 and we are taking her out to the bars. :drinker: (<----that will be her tonight)!! Anyways I hope everyone has a fantastic day yesterday and can get a good burn in!!! love you all!!! :flowerforyou:

Tracy- It may slow down your loss the first week or so, but by day 10 both rounds i was down a lot. And it is a lot of inchs lost, in the 2 rounds i lost 20 inch... but I also lost 15lbs between the 2 rounds so it is definitly worth it!!!
LaToya.... ya know ya wana.... SHRED!!! You can jump in at any time but its day 3 so 2 days of double would get you caught up... hehe... tempting I know!!! :bigsmile:
Ok so now my Mommy venting for the day. Its a big day for me... my baby Colton... ok my 4 1/2 year old baby, had his 1st day of PreK today.... He was so excited and so ready that he came in at 5am and woke me up, he was fully dressed, even had his back pack already on, wanting me to cut the price tag off his shirt. He was so excited all morning. I was sure I would be the mom in her car crying her face off in the parking lot...:sad: .... I am happy to say, that although my eyes filled with water a few times, and the lump in my throat was so large I could barely talk, I did not cry! He marched right in there put his stuff in his cubby, and got down to business! :smooched: So grown up he could care less that I was leaving! But the good news is I get to go get him in 45 minutes! :laugh: Mommies not counting down the minutes or anything!!!
Also, as MrsWilson said... today is my little sisters 21st bday!!! MrsWilson and I are taking her out and breaking her in good! :drinker: I am still nursing Easton so I will be DD. WHich means i get to sit back and watch and :laugh: ! Anyhow that is what is new with me. On top of my shredding, my other goal for the month is to be 100% honest and log 100% of what i eat in my food diary! So if you are my friend on here, feel free to check it out daily and comment!
Hope you all have a great wednesday! ~Kristyn0 -
more than half way done with the 2 hours of cardio. And it's only Wednesday. Yeah!!!0

Go Tracy!
I'm up to the same thing- about to do day 3 level 1 as soon as I pull my behind off this chair 0 -
Is it too late to join? I am still watching the doorstep for my scale to show up.0

I completed L1D2 of 30 DS last night..I am so sore this morning....lol....I hope to continue for it to get easier. I have lost .6lbs this week and I'm kind of wishing it was more, but I'm glad with the loss I have...hope everyone has a great day...0

Hi guys !
I am so excited! Thanks L for getting this thread up!
I am doing a lower carb approach, so far it has been going fine. I am not doing a no carb, but cutting out the sugar, flour, salt, and drinking more water has helped +++. :drinker:
I am looking forward to my week one weight in. I am hoping to lose a little more than 8 lbs by Halloween. Lets see how this goes.
Good luck to all the wonderful mommies on this thread. I am not sure how to add a pic etc....I will try to figure that out...along with writing stuff in my siggy!!0 -
Good morning, Mummies! I am at work right now so can't stay on here long (BOO)! I will be doing L1D4 of 30DS tonight after Back to School night for my first grader. Can hardly believe that they are all in school now. They grow up so fast! Makes me feel really old! Oh well as long as I don't look old I will be A-O-Kay...lol!
I will check back later! Have a great day!

Nicole your awesome!! Wednesday and you are almost done with the weekly goal, awesome!! I had no clue you were in Trinidad..wow..sounds like the ocean view for you is awesome! I like your drink idea for the weekend..i have a drinking filled weekend as well, im thinking rum and coke, diet that is, lol....anyone have anymore low cal drink ideas for nicole and I in case we want variety?
[/quote]
thanks chica.. I lapsed for too long so I have to make up!! lol... and yeah, my "ocean view" is fantastic... the building I work in is just next to the port in the capital city... and I'm on the 20th floor so I get an absolutely amazing view when I walk past that side of the building... I sit directly in the middle so I dont see it all the time, but when I go to the kitchen or copiers I make sure to pass on the side that faces the water!! From my home as well, I have an obscured vision of the ocean... development has taken place at the detriment of the view I used to get when I was a child! Oh well!
As for the drink... I hope my plans dont get squashed... date said he might have to cancel cause he's a record producer and one of his clients wants to come in on Sat evening!! :ohwell: keep fingers crossed for me ok! lol Have a great day ladies!0 -
more than half way done with the 2 hours of cardio. And it's only Wednesday. Yeah!!!
Great job Sam!0 -
Hi Mummies!! Im glad to see everyone is getting their cardio in. I binged yesterday, no clue why. I ate every slice of pizza i could:explode: why did i not just eat 2!?!?!?! It got me to thinking....i really need to focus and make this my priority. I make excuses and put everything else before it. I will put a birthday party, vacation, date, etc before my weight loss journey. Life is going to happen, but i am going to have to learn how to survive off of 1300 calories in this situation (or exercise for a little more) or i will never lose weight! I have my babies 1st birthday party on sunday, my moms birthday dinner at red lobster on monday, and then i go on a girls trip to vegas next weekend for a 30th birthday bash!!! Lots of fun, but i instantly think of what i will eat!! I cant take a break from this, there will always be something to do and then bam the holidays will be here!! this is so hard :mad: anywho, thats my vent for the day. moral of my story: EFFECTIVE TODAY LOSING WEIGHT IS MY #1 PRIORITY UNTIL I REACH 135!!!!!0

My dear Toya... I wish you all the strength and determination in the world!! Know that you deserve to achieve your goals and know that only you stand between where you are now and where you want to be! But also know that you are a human being who will make mistakes sometimes... just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and STAY AWAY FROM THE PIZZA!!!
lol... We'll be here cheering you on girl, knowing that you can do it! 0 -
Hello fellow Mummies,
This week hasn't been so great eating-wise. We went to a local fair on Sunday and had lots of junk including mini donuts, ice cream, fries etc etc. I went out for drinks with some co-workers on Tuesday and went over my calories by about 600 (four drinks). I made it to the gym last night and will definately be going again tonight. I better see a loss of at least one pound this week. I sure would like to be on an island right now with a cold drink in my hand. I guess I'll have to settle for the great view from my office window.0 -
Latoya - If I didn't know better I would have thougth that I wrote your last post. I have a birthday dinner tomorrow night (plus my friend at work is making me pineapple upside-down cake for my birthday...yummo). Then at the end of this month I am going to Vegas for a girls weekend with some friends. Nothing to celebrate (other than the fact that I am a hard working Mom and deserve a little break :laugh: ). But I feel the same way. That is the first thing I thought about was what am I going to eat (at dinner, in Vegas, etc...). I am so tired of food ruling my life. I completely believe that it is an addiction and unlike say an alcoholic or someone that abuses drugs we still have to eat to live. Would be so much easier if we could just give it up all together!:explode:
P.S. Pizza is my Kryptonite! (oh, I forgot about cheesecake...lol):blushing:0 -
Hey all --
Traceylee and Latoya I am SOOO with you about the pizza. We used to order in every couple of weeks, but I cannot stick with one or two pieces. I eat, like 4. I still make frozen once in a while for a fix (easier to reisit that 4th piece!lol) But mostly I just try to avoid being in the same room with it. (fortunately my little kids are just so-so about it, and my big ones have moved out to go to college)
I got to the gym on Tuesday and today (skipped Wednesday to go shopping -- walking around the mall as cardio?)
Diet is going ok, as long as I am home and cooking. Went to the local farmer's market today and stocked up on lots of fresh veggies -- now I have to figure out how to get them all cooked before they spoil. I love this time of year!0 -
Hi fellow mommies!!
I hope everyone has had a great week thus far, I know I will be very happy to see Friday tomorrow!
Latoya and fellow pizza lovers... I'm definitely guilty of an addiction to pizza:blushing: I use my "free" meal day (Saturdays) to indulge in any cravings that I might have during the week. Something you might consider, if you have enough willpower. It really helps me a lot during the week to stay totally committed to eating clean. I just think ahead to my Saturday.. death by chocolate cake, pepperoni lover's pizza, champagne/beer/shots. When I first started my "lifestyle change," I totally overindulged every Saturday. As I've lost more weight and gotten more used to healthy eating, I found that I don't need quite as many drinks or slices of pizza/cake to satisfy my craving. A great trick when you're eating "bad" stuff is to eat very slowly so that you are actually tasting/enjoying the food & your body has time to realize that you are getting full. I know that the free day concept doesn't work for everyone, but it REALLY keeps me honest all week long... Good luck!! I am certain that you & everyone here is capable of making losing weight a top priority. Just stay strong, & you'll be to your goal in no time. That Vegas trip sounds awesome too!
Tracylee, I agree that being mommy is plenty of reason to take a vacation!:laugh:
Let's finish out this week & weekend really strong mommies!! We ARE worth the extra effort that it takes to reach our weight loss goals:flowerforyou:0
