    Hey!

    New member, I'm borrowing the DVDs from my cousin, but she misplaced the calendar. Is there a way to get a copy of the prep rotation? Also, did you guys start on Monday, or did you just start whenever and apply the rest days accordingly?

    Hi Audrey!!!! Yes yes, join in! I wrote a note about the schedule a few posts up! Check it out! I started on Monday because I like being able to go hard all week and if I need to plan and move workouts around in case I'm out of town for the weekend or something.

    Also, on the first page I posted the first 7 workouts, start with those and I will look for the schedule to post for you! :) I think you can just google it as well, but yes, the first 7 are there! WOOHOOOOO! Join us! :)

    Kim - I just read your post from earlier tonight, I think I love you! You are such a great cheerleader.

    I am back on the wagon - I did the Fire30 class yesterday and Stretch40 and Abs20(core? - can't remember...too many planks killed my memory)

    I use a bodybugg, so I know how many calories I'm burning, and I burn a ton doing TurboFire. Of course, the more weight you have to lose, the more you burn - so I've been having to work harder to keep my numbers burned high - it's crazy! In a good way, of course.

    Thanks for being our fearless leader. I cannot wait to post pictures at the end - if I hit my goal, I will be out of the 200s for the first time in over 10 years!

    Awww MELBABY- you made my day! So glad you are loving the thread and so glad you are back on track. Life is hectic and well, you do what you can do when you can do it! :) When you can't do it, don't feel guilty and know that you are mentally working on that part of the challenge! :) Working out to me and weight loss is really a mind body thing! :) So excited for you to get out of the 200s! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! Glad you were inspired glad you are pushn' play! Glad to have you back, we've missed you on the boards! :)

    Oh ok, thanks! I googled and found a schedule, I just wanted to compare it to another one. I decided to start the workout today so I wouldn't procrastinate and put it off. Man what a workout! I haven't sweat that much in a while..lol

    Well goodness I feel so behind lol.... welcome to all the new people hello

    this is a quick note sorry I have been MIA I got the flu and that within its self is just not fun....today I am going to try to get the house clean and rid of the germs and I am trying to track my energy to see if I up to a workout I feel fine but the about two years ago (yes I am still paranoid) I had gotten bronchitis and thought I was all better and relapsed to the point of having to take off of work for a month with a doctors note and he didn't even want to let me go back after that month because I had ran myself down so I have tried to learn from that ...so I am unsure of what or any works I will be doing today except for making sure the germs have been killed and that within its self is a workout lol

    tried to read all that I have missed but it seems all points were covered miss yall

    Feeling great today! Been sleeping in an extra 15 minutes and what a difference it makes! LOL Eating a plum, a pear and some strawberries for breakfast. Instead of HIIT 15, going to do HIIT 20. I normally would do HIIT 25 or HIIT 30, but I am low on time today. After that doing Tone 30 and then maybe Jillian Michael's 30 ds Level 2! Then, off to shower, shop and have a massage and reiki session! I am super excited to have a clearing of energies! :)

    Well, hope you are all doing well! :) OOOOOOOH- and last night when talking to TaraFaith, I was looking at new Mio Motiva's and I think I'm going to upgrade mine once I hit 130! :) As a new gift to me! :) Why not!?!?!? :) I like rewarding myself with things that are are well, NOT FOOD! And usually I'd like to do nails or spa day or something, but this just seems exciting! LOL

    Texas- so happy to have you back! :) And no worried about being paranoid, just clean and clean and clean. You will be burning calories and you know, don't even worry about your workout because you don't want to overdo it with your body. Listen to it. Maybe do some LIGHT stretching and a short workout if you are up for it! :) WOOOO, glad to have you back! MISSED YOU!!!! :)

    EVERYBODY-

    WHAT ARE YOU GOAL? WHAT WILL YOU DO TO REWARD YOURSELF FOR THE HARD WORK YOU ARE PUTTING IN, THE DEDICATION, THE MENTAL CLARITY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: FOR STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKING OWNERSHIP OF YOUR HEALTH?

    SOMETIMES, WE STRUGGLE. AS HUMANS IT'S NATURAL. IT'S IMPORTANT TO REWARD OURSELVES WITH NON-FOOD ITEMS AND NON-ALCOHOL/PARTYING REWARDS. CHOOSE SOMETHING THAT WILL ENHANCE YOUR PERFORMANCE AND OR CONFIDENCE!

    IT'S AMAZING THAT SOME PEOPLE (WITH A LOT TO LOSE) FEEL LIKE THE "FAT GIRL" OR "FAT GUY" STILL AND END UP PUTTING THE WEIGHT BACK ON BECAUSE OF SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES. WE ARE DOING THIS ALLLLLL THE WAY! MIND, BODY, SPIRIT!

    PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT YOUR REWARDS! WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE GOALS ARE: TO FEEL BETTER, LOOK BETTER, HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE, HAVE A NEW WARDROBE/FIT INTO AN OLD ONE, HEALTH!!!!




    Here are mine:
    150- Was going to be new workout shoes, but got some yesterday and now have 3 brand new pairs of asics. Well not brand new, one of them I have been wearing for two weeks!

    140- Mani/Pedi/Lip Waxing

    135- A new book (probably a cookbook) or album off itunes SOMETHING INSPIRING

    130- A new HRM ! :) and/or a New haircut!!!!!!

    125- ?

    120- A pilates studio membership!

    115- Professional makeup/hair did and a photo shoot! :)

    I love that you're going to do a photo shoot! That is so very cool!

    I'm on my way to get my TF session in - I think I'm going to mix it up today and do the HIIT 15 and Stretch 40. I got a little over 3 miles in with the dog this a.m. and I'm really feeling like I've got tight hamstrings going on...so Stretch might just be the best thing for me at the moment.

    Then...tomorrow...Fire 55EZ for sure!

    I need to think on some rewards. I can't believe I haven't done that yet.

    Hope you all are having a great day -
    Melissa

    Just wanted to give a shout to all of the new people joining the group!!
    Kim- thanks for the heads up about using kickboxing to measure calories. I don't have a HRM, but I will invest in one soon. Unitl then, I'll use high impact aerobics or something. My weight loss has stalled, and this may be why. I'm overestimating calories.

    I had a headache today. I did fire 30 but that's all. Tomorrow is fire 55 and I'm looking forward to it. I started this whole exercise and fitness lifestyle because I was diagnosed with insulin resistance. I'm working hard to overcome this with diet and exercise. I don't want to be 50 on insulin and other things because I didn't take care of myself when I had the opportunity.

    I go back for reapeat labs in October. I was waiting to celebrate then, but I'm thinking of buying something small to reward myself now. My bday is next week, so I'm going to do something.

    You gus are all amazing!! I wish you the best in reaching your goals.

    Thankilates Posts: 432 Member
    Yes yes, come up with those goals!!!! :) Hey, I'm also doing Tfire55 tomorrow!I Think I'm actually supposed to do Tfire45EZ, but I want to workout a bit longer! LOL Lame I know, but what a way to start out the weekend! :) I'll be thinking of you guys!!!!

    PWitty- yeah, use aerobics, that will be more accurate! A few of my friends with stalled weight loss are ALL using the Turbo Jams pre-made one! Plus, Tfire is so intense, that some days I only burn 250 as opposed to 315! So I use my HRM every time! :) With a workout like 30 Day Shred, I burn 210 calories pretty much no matter what. Sooo, yes just underestimate a bit, OR only eat back HALF of your calories! It's just like anything, you gotta play with it! I haven't weighed myself, but I know I am gaining muscle from all the weights I am doing in 30 ds every day. So, it will be interesting. Sucks about your headache! :( I hate when that happens! Oh and you are smart to take care of your insulin issues naturally. Are you a vegetarian? Do you eat green smoothies? May want to incorporate them into your morning routine. They're cheap and CHALKED full of nutrients and more so than any other food per/serving! :):)

    Hey, I'm in this thing for the long haul- it never did anybody good to look at a scale every 2 days. Even once a week I think is too much! I was doing that for a bit, but nope 30 days! :)

    MEL- yes, yes I have some friends that have been asking me for awhile to take photos of me with my style, make up and doing yoga postures. I turned them down last year and a few more tiems because at (130- SADLY) I just wnated to lose those last 10. Well, now back at 151ish, I'm like WHY DIDN"T I DO IT!!!!!?!? SO i'm doing it! :) Also, I've always dreamed of having pics done of me in an old Audrey Hepburn style. Something classy, artsy. Not a boob here and a boob there! LOL That's what the beach is for! LOL Anyway, I really want this by my 30th! It's time! :)

    I did a practice session today: fire 30 new to class and stretch 10- totally loved it!!!

    My hrm needs a new battery, but I burned 450ish cals for the 50 min combined! It would have been more- I clocked that my watch was only reading 69bpm during the fire drill, like YEAH! So will get the battery and hope for a better reading on Monday!

    Love it love it love it!

    Becka, great job!!!!! :) 450-500 sounds right. I'm only 5"3 and 152ish pounds and I"m burning about 425 right now. SOmetimes more, sometimes less. Anyway, I'm getting a new heart rate monitor battery too!

    Having a fun day today! Mani/Pedi/Face mask with a friend, framboise, a movie, and a night of dancing! FUN!!!! May the weekend begin!

    Just finished fire 55ez! I worked overnight last night and getting my workout in is a challenge because I'm pretty tired the next day. But I got it done and my jumps are getting higher! I'm so excited about that!! So tonight I"m going to bed early and doing fire 45 (I think it's my favorite workout) tomorrow morning.

    For you guys just starting out, time goes by so fast! I start week 7 on Monday and it so doesn't feel like I've been at this that long. I'm hoping the next weeks fly by just as fast!
    Kim- I'm not a vegetarian, but I am interested in how to make a green smoothie. It sounds yummy.
    becka- So glad you love TF! I love it too!!

    Happy Friday to all!!!

    Ok I am trying to read and catch up…welcome to all the new people amazing I love it
    Ok so Thursday I didn’t even really clean it was horrible I would walk up my stairs and my body just felt heavy and ick had waves of feeling good …I went to sleep at 8pm and woke up at 7am I guess I needed my sleep because yesterday I got up and felt like a new person (Mind you I am not a sleeper never have been wish I could be lol so that was great)

    I got up and did some Tracy Anderson and did some Zumba and I felt like I was sweating out the germs in a very good way.
    So I am on a new mission in November we have to go to a Military Formal so even more motivation for me to get my cute on

    So I ask for everyone here to pray/send positive thoughts whatever your belief system maybe my parents live in Texas (I know yall couldn’t guess where I grew up huh lol) there house might have burnt or be burning down we don’t know last night I was up all night reading and listening to the scanner there …I realize it is just possessions but still it is their home…the fire had hit two homes on their road mind you it is a very long road but the entire area was surrounded…so scary…to top this off my mom is going through Chemo and in her down time and all the smoke and ash flying around not so good for her thankfully my Dad’s job rocks and is paying for them to stay in a hotel a good distance away…Battling cancer she needs to not worry or stress about anything and I worry if this will be too much for her…I have a 17 year old sister and she is freaking out how a teenager should be literally cleared out her room when they told her to evacuate…when I was 16 our house flooded and we had to evacuate and I did the same thing the most important thing in the world to me was my homecoming dress…so thank you for sending your thoughts out

    Ok so my goals are
    219-Get a Starbucks yes I know but its true
    209-Get another Starbucks (I have an addiction lol)
    199-Get my nails done
    189-Get my hair cut (this one might come sooner as my hair is getting so long it is giving me headaches)
    179-Get a Pedicure
    In between I need to figure out those goals trying to not get to far ahead of myself –I am assuming some new clothing that will fit
    130-Want to get nice pictures taken with my husband

    I hope that everyone has a nice weekend

    Oh man! Yesterday I really worked my butt off! It felt good and then by the time I went to bed I was just EXHAUSTED! My knee started hurting and I had to massage it out. Then this morning, was SO tired! I thought it was the exercise, but it wasn't really body tired... My husband pointed out that I was probably emotionally tired as a friend came over yesterday with horrible relationship problems. She was very receptive of what I said, but still it's tiring. So anyway.... I made a big breakfast and it was TASTY! :) I made a pannekoeken! DELISH! I also turned down a mimosa! LOL I like them but ehhh, didn't want it! Had water instead! :)

    Anyway, my plan for the day is to finish washing up my clothes, do some yard work (it's only 90 as opposed to 110! :) ) I want to go out shopping for an interview outfit (coming up in the next week or so), and also will do some picking up around the house!

    Today is my Core 20, Yoga40 day and i will definitely do Core 20, but before that I am going to tfire 15! I never do tfire 15 but I figure it will jumpstart my HR for Core 20 and then I MAY do yoga and TA; Mat, but more than likely just TA. Sooo, that is my day!

    Tomorrow having football with my parents, as we do every weekend, and that means food and cocktails. The cocktails are easy for me to pass up, but sometimes that food... LOL So we are eating before hand and then i suggested a BIG salad for dinner so I think that is good. Can only take one weekend at a time, right? :) Sooo, have a great day tomorrow and let's end this weekend strong!

    Pretty Witty- I totally agree! Weeks go by fast! I'm starting week 4 next week! Doesn't feel like it at all! WOOOOO! I woke up today, feeling thin! Well thinner! I really did! :) I can tell it's working and I know that my weigh in next week will be good. I am a bit concerned because I have been doing 30ds 5 times a week along side with tfire, and i am sure I have gained some muscle... But oh well, I am realizing that I have long-term goals. Soooo, let's keep it up! I'm super impressed you were able to workout after such a long day! you are an inspiration! :) Great job, keep it up! :)

    Texas- Aqqqq , :( I don't know where to start. So I will just say I'm sorry and I'm hoping that everything works out for you and your family! Totally in my prayers and thoughts! :):):) Keep up your good work, and way to push through your sickness!!!!! :) It feels good to sweat it out! :) Great great great for you! :) Proud of you, keep it up and keep up the posts about Tracy Anderson. You motivate me! :)




    Well all, have a great day. I think before I do anything I listed above, I am going to go on a walk! it's too nice to pass up! Have a great day!!! :) KIM

    I am taking a rest day today, my daughter and I took a big walk around a field by our house and it was pretty good. It played her out and me too. It was great being able to spend some with her, I don't get to do that very often. I got my new HRM this morning, I am very excited to use it. It will be nice to finally know how many calories I am actually burning when I do my Turbo Fire and Slim in 6 dvds. It will help put things into better perspective. I am planning to go hard on the TF next week, I am really enjoying this program. Probably some of the best dvds I have tried.

    Kim - I am sorry to hear that your friend is having a hard time. I hope things will get better for her.

    Had a great day and great CONTROL! Last night I WANTED pizza at 11:30 pm, but had some grapes and off to bed. Then today I wanted pizza again or nachos... NOPE- made a great big salad with a black bean burger on top! It was divine tasting and only 300 some calories!! I feel sooo good today after yoga! I was going to do TA Mat or PP, but you know, I have a bad knee (was in a wheel chair for 9 months and crutches for 3) and my knee was hurting and my sciatica nerve, soooo thought I would give my hip a rest. They yoga and stretching was JUST what I needed!

    To all the people who are like me and want to skip yoga, I would say to do it! It IS needed! Which reminds me, I DID do Tfire Core today, went on a very brisk walk for 60 minutes (burned 450 calories on that alone) and threw in HIIT 15. WHY? Because I FELT LIKE IT! LOL Tomorrow I ahve Tfire55 and then off to rents for the first Football Sunday. THIS YEAR_ no gaining weight!!!!

    PEACE! Oh and thanks for posting here and sharing your stories and support. I am blessed to be on this journey with you!!!!!

    Thanks Tara!! Love that you said Tfire are some of the best dvds you've tried! I totally agree! They are fun and I always go back to them! :) Have a great night!

    Did fire 45 this morning!! Had a pretty good day food wise. I did eat chick fil a for dinner though. But it was a kids meal. Before I would eat an adult meal every day. Now I'm looking forward to eating healthy again tomorrow.

    Kim- great job with your control over cravings! It's always feels so good when you overcome that. And thanks for encouraging us to do yoga. I too hope things get better with your friend and her problems.

    Tarafaith- so cool you got a HRM! I so need to do that! I think I may give myself one for my birthday. I hope you continue to enjoy TF!u in

    Texas- I hope things get better for your family!! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Well I did Tfire 55 this morning despite the fact that my right shoulder blade was a bit "sore." Not injured sore. More like you were cramming for a test all night hunched over with a pencil and now it's sore- sore. I did low impact and light movements and by 30 minutes it felt SO Much better! It was loose and I'm so glad I did it! :) It really pays to know your body and know what it can handle!

    I also did the standing abs and both arm sections of TA:Mat. I would have done the whole thing, but as I type this my hair is drying and we are about to leave in 15 minutes! :)

    PW- good for you! A kid's meal is better than a full meal! Oh and i love their waffle fries! LOL haven't had it in a long time, but I know I like them ! LOL Thanks, I am happy about controlling my cravings! I did it again last night when I had the calories for a mcdonalds ice cream cone, put my shoes on and then decided to steam some garlic and zucchini instead. MUCH better choice!

    WE HAVE TO REMEMBER TO PAT OURSELVES ON THE BACK FOR DOING THE SMALL THINGS! FROM CUTTING DOWN PORTION SIZES TO DOING A SHORTENED WORKOUT, OR EVEN A WORKOUT AT A LOWER INTENSITY. TO LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND SAYING, "I LOVE YOU" TO YOURSELF.

    ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING! LET'S KEEP PUSHING!

    TOMORROW IS THE START OF WEEK 4 FOR ME! WOOOO!

    Hey all- I gotta say something. Over the past few days some of my MFP friends are going "over their goal." THIS IS OKAY! No need to beat yourself up! :D Life is good! It's a daily thing and it's a marathon, not a sprint! :) Negative energy about your food or yourself is NOT okay and will eventually catch up with you... One. Day. At. A. Time.

    So instead, find the good, there is ALWAYS good! I DID go over my calories today and you know what? It's okay! I still made GREAT food choices. Had the extra thin and crispy crust as opposed to extra thick deep dish, had fresh veggies as opposed to potato chips and dip and didn't drink today. I also turned down ice cream (for two days in a row now) and had a frozen mango instead.

    "Calorie goals" are not the only way to see progress. Neither are numbers on the scale. Studies in health psychology show that people whom are obsessed with numbers think about it so often that eventually, the fear of what they DON'T want to be tends to catch up with them. It may be in a year or two, but it will still catch up.

    So- if you went over your calories. Grab something you like, enjoy it and start fresh tomorrow. If you weigh yourself more than once a week I suggest once every two weeks at least, or if really tough, once every month.

    I say all this to you because you have all been such a motivation to me and well, I want to return the favor!

    WE ARE ALL ROCK STARS!!! PEACE!

    Started my D1 proper today!

    Didn't do the 'new to class' option, but ploughed straight in - it was tough, but I loved it!

    Took my measurements beforehand, but will weigh a bit later on in the week (I had an indulgent weekend, so my weight is up, but as it's probably salt / water it would be misrepresentative to use it for this).

    Looking forward to tomorrow's workout, although a little scared of the HIIT!

    Keep up the great work ladies I did TF 55EZ on Saturday with my TA I did TA on Sunday and cleaned (that was not on my TF calendar but it had to be done lol)....this morning I had a doctors appt. and well there was a detour and I was bout 30 min late sat around etc. (not sure why they make appointments when you sit around for so long lol) but anyway it took me almost an hour to get back home following the detour it took me to areas I had never seen before and doctor deemed I need a shot and it is my tushy (I didn't even know I was sick I just went in for check up and refills & am I getting put on antibiotics what lol IDK I feel like sinus crap but she said they are infected heck if it will make the funk go away I will take it :)

    Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for my family we are still in limbo and not sure if they have a house or if and when they can go check on it oh the fun (not really)

    Kim you are awesome your words are amazingly what so many of us need to hear when we need to hear it :)

    Becka congrats on D1 ...and good luck on your HIIT tomorrow I have a love hate relationship with them

    Pretty - I am impressed that you ate the kids because you could of eaten the whole big adult one

    Is everyone ready to feel the fiyah and push play while I set on my right tushy today as my left one is going to make me cry :)

    Hey guys! Well, I was super excited to do Tfire 45 today but my body needed rest! I have been sleeping on and off all day and watching movies. I think I "Could get through" a workout, but ehhhh- that is not what you do! When you are feeling like this, you take a break!

    The great thing is that Tuesday is my scheduled rest day, and so I'm just flip flopping them! :) Making some awesome soup right now of veggie broth, curry, garlic, celery, carrots, red pepper flakes, and brown basmati rice. Need some calories in there somewhere!!!! :) So wish me well tomorrow. Or tonight! That I may go to bed and wake up feeling refreshed! :)

    I have no idea what it is. I was fine yesterday. I think it may be from being outside while the weather has been changing! Even though I have been in AZ for almost 9 years, I'm still not used to the desert plants! Also, been taking walks and it's been very dusty. Which is ironic, because I wanted to go on a short walk tonight. Not because I feel the need to workout, but because it's good to be moving around to "get the sickness" sweat out! Ya know?

    I'm glad you are all motivated by my words. Sometimes , I feel them to be "too pushy." But what I do know is that WE (especially women) are so hard on ourselves... No matter what our day holds we have been consistent with loggin in and being truthful and motivating each other. We are all good! :) One day at a time. This is the HOLIDAY challenge after all LOL We got time! :)

    Becka- great job! Day 1 before you know it, you'll be at day 30! :) I can't believe how fast time is flyin!!!

    Texas- I did Fire 55 on Saturday too! Wait, maybe it was Sunday! LOL i also did the abs/arms section of TA mat. I would love to do it all everyday, but for now, really focusing on the cardio and adding that in when I can.

    HERE'S SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

    SINCE ALL THE POSITIVE TALK HOW ABOUT THIS:

    LIST 5 THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF (AT LEAST 3 HAVE TO BE PHYSICAL). THIS IS GOOD FOR OUR SELF-ESTEEM. I'LL START:

    1. My hair- I just love it! LOL
    2. My arms- ever since I was a kid, always loved them. No muscle, but I'm working on that.
    3. My muscular legs. Always get compliments when wearing heels. I used to HATE them, but them I grew up and realized they made me unique! :)
    4. My outgoing nature which leads me to not care what others think.
    5. My ability to actively listen and motivate.

    Kim – I love how you are the cheerleader even when you feel like poo ...you rock

    Ok as it is early and I haven’t started my workout yet I don’t have much to post there….my shot that I got yesterday made me feel like I was working out all day long I know she said it has some steroids in it (the kind that make you get better) but dang even now I feel very “wired” the downfall is I know when I have taken the pack of steroids I always gain like 7lbs of pure water weight and I am fixing to start my lady time I am way to scared to get onto the scale I am not going to lie lol

    The five things I love about me

    1. My eyes I have hazel eyes but not the normal one I can make them change almost any color from gray to violet to green to brown to golden almost every color but blue—just by clothing and makeup and mood the get almost black when I am angry everyone tells me it is scary

    2. My hair (this has just happened in the past few years on the coloring) I have very straight hair which is great I just wash and go and also I always thought my hair was just brown but since I stopped coloring it people always ask me where did I get my hair colored at it has all the red and golden tones it that apparently everyone wants lol

    3. My skin (odd I know) I always had really oily skin and then I started to get severe cystic acne I mean the size of half dollars where I did not want to leave the house going to work and school it was horrible (this was in my mid to late 20’s and being heavy I always felt like everyone felt like I was a fat slob) anyone after being on Accutane for two years and all the crazy side effects which were very severe I get compliments on my skin being so smooth and clear…I don’t even care about the scars it is nice to be able to leave the house without make up and not make small children run and scream for the woods lol

    4. My ability to organize I don’t know why but I have this ability to see how things can work better in home and life (sometimes in others more than my own)

    5. That I am able to self-entertain I was an only child for the first 15 years of my life and being a military spouse where at times your husband is gone more than he is home you move around so often that it is hard to make long lasting friend ships (the life is not like the TV show at all) …that I am able to adapt and be content with just little ol me…I notice that not everyone can be alone in life

    Oh…the good news my parents went back into their house yesterday ….no damage…and their home is on a different cities power grid that has their power lines underground which is good in a fire but was crap when Ike hit they were without power for almost a month then but I digress everything at this time is safe and they didn’t lose any food or anything which is wonderful…the amount of stress that left my mom’s voice was amazing…they are not fully out of the woods yet until all the fires are put out and the town that is literally across the road from them is almost destroyed people are sleeping in front of a grocery store because they have nowhere else to go it is very sad but I am so thankful to everyone it has touched my heart again thank you

    I hope everyone has a great day today

    Hello! So I am sipping on my green smoothie. YUM! I didn't have one for a day because we were out and I couldn't get into the store! LOL but, I'm back and they are tasting sooooo dang good! :) I am home from the market and now will be finish this post and the smoothie, wash some produce and then go out shopping (for an interview outfit/top/dress).

    I still have my sore throat, but have faith it will be away or less by tomorrow. My interview is supposed to be Thursday at 11:30 MST, but we'll see (please send me your energy). I say we'll see how I'm feeling. Don't want to blow it because I can't well- concentrate.

    TURBO FIRE!!! I was supposed to do Tfire HIIT 20 or 25 today. I bumped it up to Hiit 30 and then decided to do Fat bLaster instead. When your body doesn't have a lot of energy, it's important to keep moving, but to take it down a nothch. Fat Blaster is easier and more fun to me than HIIT 30. SO did it well and then did TA mat after! :) It felt nice to sweat and to move whatever it is in my throat right on out of my body! :)

    WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE?!?!? LOL Well, I want to say this... THANKS FOR POSTING HERE! THERE ARE SOME 900+ VIEWS WHICH MEANS OTHER PEOPLE ARE WATCHING, READING AND FOLLOWING THIS THREAD. MOTIVATION COMES AND GOES TO PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY. SO DON'T JUST POST FOR YOURSELF, POST FOR OTHERS TOO SHY TO SPEAK OUT YET. IT'S OKAY! WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! ALSO, PEOPLE WHOM HAVE SUPPORT (EVEN IN THIS TYPE OF ONLINE FORM) HAVE A 30 SOME PERCENT CHANCE OF KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF THAT THEY LOSE AND MORE THAN DOUBLE THE CHANCE OF LOSING WEIGHT MORE THAN SOMEBODY WITH NO SUPPORT!

    YA HEAR THAT?!?!? WE ARE GOING TO GET TO OUR GOAL IS WHAT THAT MEANS!!! LOL :P

    THANKS FOR SHARING TEXAS! I think it really helps people (yourself included) to remember what you love about yourself. All day we are bombarded with images and thoughts saying we "aren't good enough, not thin enough, not smart enough, don't have enough money, etc etc etc." So great for you! SO happy your parents are okay!!! What a blessing! A few years ago my friend from college lost their house to a fire and LOST EVERYTHING! She is a first generation Korean and so EVERYTHING they brought over was lost. Totally devastating. The insurance companies took over a year and half to get anywhere with it, so she finished her school living out of an econo lodge! AMAZING She even finished, I would have been too distracted! WEll, good for your rents, that is so great!!!! Oh and cheerleader... LOL i was a never a cheerleader in high school, but i have always been called the "Cheerleader of life and motivation" by my friends. Sometimes, to an annoying degree. I see the good in everything and why not? There are some serious problems out there!!!!


    BLUEGIRL- way to go! ONe day at a time and before you know it, Christmas time will be here and you will be ready to wear a great new something!!!! :) Stay on track and keep posting in here when you can! Not only for yourself, but because with 900 some views, chances are you are inspiring others! :)
