Turbo Jammers 3/16-3/22

Hi everyone.

Wow we've got a bunch down with the sick stuff. My love and hugs going out to all of you.

Waving hi to those I haven't met yet.

Just a quick check in for me this morning. Been feeling lousy all weekend, finally up to a little exercise this morning, but definitely had to push myself to finish. Did Kettlebell workout with Gin Miller and then walking on the treadmill. Just have no energy at all. BLAH!! And I don't even want to get on the scale today. It was a lousy eating 3 days. But the good news is, I did get up and exercise today and I am counting my calories. No giving up, which I would have done a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to all of you for your motivation. You make it worth my while to log in and check in.

Have a great Tuesday. I'll be back to Jammin tomorrow!
hugs
michele

Good Afternoon Beauties,
Hope all are well and feeling much, much better!! No fun being sick at all. Checking in ~ last nite did 20 min (that is such a great short work out ~ really gets my heart rate going and Ab Jam and started the day off with Sculpt. Wanted to add the 20min in there too but just could NOT drag my carcass out of bed this morning!! I'm such a sleepy head:laugh: Had to really push to do the strength training; I always feel like I need to burn more calories. But Chalene says that muscle burns fat - even when resting. I need to read more about that so maybe my mind will shift a little bit. I know it's good for me but my mind tells me that if I'm not sweating up a storm I'm not working hard enough.:grumble:

Drevans - can't wait to hear how you like the cookbook! 200 recipes for under 200 cals sounds like a great motivator to get in the kitchen and try something new. It does get hard trying to be creative and I tend to eat the same thing(chicken) quite alot. We need some feedback Hope your w/o is good!

Snarf - Hi! I used to think Tae Bo was the untimate.... until I tried TJ. I think I picked up the bootcamp DVD once since I got this set of TJ. I agree the workout is better, so I'm with you there.

Amanda- I haven't forgotten about the lunch ideas just have been busy:ohwell: aplogies. I'll be sure to get some ideas to you. Great job on your day yesterday - keep on going!!

Michelle - Good job on working out when you didn't feel like it ~ I think those times are the best for my
commitment to what I'm doing, it reinforces it. and I always feel better afterwards.

Megan- hope you're feeling more human today!

((Big Hugs)) to all I missed and I'll check in later,
Janet

Well, my 2nd consecutive day of the 20 minute workout. Wow!!! I really could tell that I was sore from yesterday when I started it. I was smart and came home to work out BEFORE getting the kids. Emma wasn't too crazy about the workout yesterday. Haha! I actually was able to focus more. Now I'm trying to stop sweating before going to get them.

Janet love the picture!!!

Happy St. Patty's to all!!!

Hello,
Finally got around to TJ again. I did so much better this time. Last time I only got 10 min into the 20 min workout and felt kinda silly. Today, I did 40 min. of one of the cardio party ones. I feel pretty proud of myself. The kids are all napping so I'm gonna jet off to a HOT:laugh: bath.:bigsmile:

Hey Family,
Checking in w/ FB before dinner! Thanks for the nice comments about the pic ~ it's nice not to be a cartoon anymore,:laugh: She is my very serene alter ego. The other one is real ~ crazies and all! Had to go around taking pics in the office for the paper (resident photographer and writer~ no one else wants to do it , hahaha) so I figured why not!
Glad our sick ones are rallying up stamina and are on the road to recovery. Dinner is on the stove(chicken, so what else is new) and I'm trying out those "valley fresh steamers" that Bob was talking about on Biggest Loser w/ some brown rice. I just love Biggest Loser ~ it's my show and no one talk to for an hour , yea...right. One can always hope.

Have a fantastic night with your families everybody and I'll see you tomorrow:flowerforyou:

Janet

Oh and Lyn, love your new pic too

and Deedun, feel better soon! (HUGS)

Kelly - I hope everyone is feeling better at your house! Just like clockwork, it has creeped into my house! I swear our kids pass around the same bugs! :laugh:

Lyn - I can see the pretty purpleness of it! Awesome! How's work going?

Janet - You're so adorable! Love the pic! I need to get brave & post one of myself again.

Megan - Glad you are feeling better! SOOO sorry it was tuna that did it to you. :sick:

Deedun - Hope St. Patty's in Ireland wasn't too nutty!

Amanda - Good job getting in the 20 min. workout! I only did that one for a couple months before I got brave enough to do the CP. It's a great workout!

Orchid - YAY! Great job busting out CP! I love it! Hope to see you over here more often!

Hi, Michele! I'm not sure if you posted, but I thought I'd say hi, anyways. :bigsmile: Same to you, snarf!

I'm off to the gym today to try Zumba (if I don't start feeling worse). I am SOOOO sore from spinning! Ouchies! And I'm having TJ withdrawl. I never got to do more yesterday after Hip Hop Abs & I can't believe how much I'm missing it! Haven't seen TJ since Sunday! ACK! We'll fix that today I hope!

Good Morning Family,
Just a quick check in before I start class - 20min TJ this am and CP3 and Ab Jam after work!

Drevans - love the pic and new cut/color!! hot mama~~

Megan - Glad you're better, girl, and able to work out. No more tuna (at least for now )

Gottaluv- hang in there~ all will be well soon.

Gotta Run ~ class awaits!

Check in later

Janet

This may be a little TMI. But I was curious as to how af affects your weight. I was a little shocked that I was up last week, but now I am thinking it is because it is that TOM for me. Does it affect you ladies? What do you do differently if anything that week?

I am going to try and work out today. Not sure that I will get it in. We are test driving vehicles. :happy: And taking my kiddos out to dinner.
