Turbo Jammers 3/16-3/22

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.

I've been known to say that TOM can kiss my *kitten*. :bigsmile: I usually see a gain a couple days before & no real "drop" in the scale until it is a couple days gone. It is a long week & a half. :grumble: So annoying these lady bodies of ours.

Janet - Have a good day! What do you teach?

Welcome, Wmcnicol! You've posted here before, right? I think I remember your screen name....

Well, did Zumba this morning. Eh. It was interesting & I might be going back. The calorie burn was fairly good for me. 450 in 45 min...or was it 425? :huh: IDK. Anyways...the instructor was fun, but the class was full of elderly folks. I'm not talking "older than me", I'm talking, "how will they dance without their walkers." :laugh: It made it a really fun class, though! The old folks were shakin' their money makers. A couple people were closer in age to me, most were 40s-50s & then a good 6 or 7 were in the previous group. So cute. I'm all over the place with this one....I might try it again with my weighted hand gloves. I have to get into a "dancer" frame of mind, though b/c I caught myself punching & trying to kick during a few of the moves where we were basically supposed to be doing jazz hands & flicking our foot to the side. :laugh: I looked like a dork.

Wow. If you guys read that, more power to you. I'm too spacy today. My computer should be taken away! Ack!

I think I'm going to try to get in CP & TS while the kids are napping, but I have SO much to do, I'm not sure I'll have time. TTYL!

Hello Ladies!

Lyn and Janet, good job on your workouts today! I did CP3 this morning and I want to do something tonight...maybe booty sculpt or go for a little run.

Amanda and Kelly, hope your both feeling better soon! Kelly, definitely listen to your body girl, and get some strength back before working out! :flowerforyou:

Sara, what IS Zumba? I've seen it posted around the boards a little...LOL on your class! :laugh:

Ok, back to work, have a great afternoon everyone!

SNARF!!! OMG, that HAS to be the most creative way I've ever heard to not drink or eat!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Good for you!!...just imagining it totally made my day...thank you for that! You'll have to post a picture of that!
:flowerforyou:

Hey Girlies!
Its been awhile since I have been on here. I didn't fall off the turbo waggon...been working out everyday...just haven't logged my food and exercise in.We are remodeling our house...so alot of my spare time is going to that also.... So I will try harder!!!! Anyways just wanted to add that any of you that want a heart rate monitor and can't afford the polars(which I really wanted)...here's your chance! I just bought a Rbx heart rate monitor and it comes with the chest strap for 29.99 at buy.com! Just got it today and tried it out! It works great! It has alot of bells and whistles...but I do have some questions....they say to stay between either 40-50% activity level 1(which meant you never worked out) or activity level 2 was 60-70% for your heart rate...and I couldn't do it while working out with turbo jam?! The alert was going off throughout the whole workout? Throughout the workout I ranged from the mid 150's to low 170's...Is this normal not to say in your heart rate with turbo jam? Anyone with any experience with this? Sorry about writing a novel...hope everyone is workingout hard...the weekend is almost here and grey's comes on tomorrow! Yeah!

Jalley - I'm consistently between 70% & 90% with TJ & mine beeps at me when I go over 82%. When I go to TurboKick class, I'm even higher. I don't think it is a "bad" thing as long as you're feeling okay while you're doing it. If you start to feel funky, just back off a little bit. I seem to burn the best cals in the 80-90 range anyways. *shrug* Who knows!

wmcnicol - A typical day of food for me is a WIDE span of things b/c I have 3 kids I have to keep happy. I usually eat yogurt, toast & a fruit for breakfast or yogurt, Kashi Go Lean Crunch & fruit. Sometimes just yogurt if we have to be somewhere & I only have a second. I usually have a snack of some sort in there. Cheese & crackers, fruit, a granola bar/fiber one bar. Lunch is usually a sandwich of some kind with more fruit. Another snack. Dinner is where it gets tricky. I LOVE to cook so I'm always making new things. I just need to figure out the calories for it & then I know how much of it I can have. *shrug* I'm not the best calorie counter in the world. I do a lot of guessing so I might not be much help.

Lyn - Glad things are going better with hubby this week! Good luck getting rid of D next week! Could your mom take my kids, too?! :bigsmile: PLEASE!

Snarf - TOO funny! I would have loved to see that! :laugh: I think if I was on roller skates, I probably would have just taken it as a challenge to myself to see if I COULD drink & skate at the same time. LOL

Janet - Your job sounds exhausting! Good for you for making the "collection" process a more plesant one. :laugh:

Megan - Enjoy your new HRM! I've heard good things about that one!

I'm not sure what I'm doing today yet. My voice is SHOT & the kids are already not listening to me b/c all I can do is barely whisper. Lovely stuff. I might be napping & calling it my "rest" day today. We'll see. Talk to ya'll later!

UGH, Sara...hang in there! I hope you feel better soon!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Good morning ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! I didn't exercise last night. We went car shopping. Found one that I'm going to test drive at lunch today. I'm so excited!!! It is an 2005 Lincoln Navigator. Seats 8...so the 6 of us should be comfy. I am SOOOOO excited! We also went and ate mexican. I did fairly well...just got chicken fajitas. I didn't use as much sour cream & guac as I normally would. And I only took 3 bites of beans and rice...now the margaritas. They had a 2 for 1 special. Of course I had to drink both. I was nervous to get on the scales this morning. But today was my actual weigh day. And in a week I've lost....drum roll please.......2 pounds!!! I'm so excited. Of course that could be just af on the way out from her visit. LOL!

Snarf ~ you had me laughing my butt off over here. Maybe I should invest in a pair of roller skates. But I suck! hahaha

Lyn ~ Glad you are having a good week. I want a new carseat for Emma! Maybe I'll buy her a cover. She has a britax marathon. So it is an expensive seat.

Sara & Kelly ~ Gosh, hope everyone gets well.

Jalley & Megan ~ You two have me contemplating the purchase of the HRM.

I am going to do the L&B tonight I believe. I really want to try the ab workout. But we will see. I'm working an hour over today
