Welcome back all you Dance fans (let me hear you clap your hands!) I hope you all had a wonderful guilt free Easter weekend. I have to say that I did pretty good as far as food AND exercise go. We had a birthday BBQ here at the house on Saturday and even though I ate a big ol' burger I had lots of green salad with it. I did have a SMALL helping of potato salad and of course I had to have some cake and ice cream, but the cake was a very small piece and the ice cream was Breyer's Double Churn Free. I'm feeling no guilt from this weekend at all.

Let's make it another great week!

    Good Mornig Jammers!
    My Easter weekend was guilt free...at least in the sense that I feel no guilt for all the junk I ate! :laugh: But I'm glad to be back in the routine this morning with CP2 and Lower Body Jam.
    Have a great day everyone!

    Good Afternoon Jam Family,
    Easter weekend was guilt free because I did my work ~ so I enjoyed a delicious shrimp pasta w/ loads of veggies (no cream sauce,:laugh: ) and a WW ice cream sammich and 2 100 cal packs of girl scout cookies that were just delish!
    This morning I had about 20 jelly beans -but I did do PK and J before work which was great!

    Hope everyone stays out of those leftover Easter Baskets and gets their work out in.

    Have an awesome day!!

    Janet:heart:

    I'm happy to hear that everyone had a great weekend.

    Checkin in with CP and Ab Jam so far. I'm off to do Lower body next.

    Becky what day is your birthday?

    Great workouts Janet and Megan!

    Enjoy your day!

    Oh a bit of excitement for me....the new Hungry Girl cookbook comes out tomorrow! I preordered mine (and my mom's). They should be here tomorrow (if not today). I'm SO excited!!!! I haven't even tried all the recipes in the other one since I got it for Christmas....but I was pretty obsessed there for a while and tried a lot of them. I'm sure my hubs is currently mentally preparing for another couple weeks of hungry girl mania! LOL

    Hey all. Just a quick check in. Getting ready to do 20 minute and then at least part of the turbo sculpt if not all of it. Goal is to work out 3-5 X this week with TJ being at least 3 of those.
    Gotta get to it!
    Happy Monday!

    Okay, I managed to do all of both. I sweated a lot but I wonder just how much of a difference this is going to make. I really don't feel like I am working out. I know that's the point.
    Gotta go!

    Not too motivated this morning to TJ so I hopped on the elliptical for 35 minutes. Totally guilty free weekend - I ran 5 1/4 miles on Saturday! I deserved the low fat trifle I made for Easter!

    MM and Whitney Great job with your workouts ladies!
    MM I remember going thru TS and not really feeling anything....but now it burns every time. I don't get it...I was outta shape then and it didn't hurt. I'm in much better shape now and it hurts. Doesn't make any sense but I know it's working!!

    Becky, my birthday is next Saturday, the 25th. My sis in law's was Saturday the 11th. We are exactly 14 days apart....My hubs is 5 yrs younger than me. :happy:

    See you all tomorrow!

    Hey Family,
    Everybody's doing so good with their workouts!! I am proud of all of you guys!! Got in PK & J yesterday and 20min + AB Jam and started off the day w/ CP2 @ 445 this morning - boy was I tired!! 20min + sculpt on for tonight - woo hoo!!.
    SOmeone mentioned stubborn pounds ... I feel your pain - seems like this last 20lbs have just been leaving at a snails pace despite my workouts - 1 week no loss next week 2 lbs or 1.5.

    We keep on keeeping on, right?

    Have a great day everybody :heart:

    Checkin in with CP2 and 3T.

    Janet I feel you. I'm on this "last" 10 lbs (probably not the last 10...I still have more to lose) and it's been coming off very slowly. I knew it would happen eventually, I just didn't want it to happen the month of my Goal. And your right we just keep keepin on hoping and praying that eventually it comes off. As of my goal date (my birthday, the 25th) I'm going to revamp my goals and my workouts and my eating etc etc. I've been working hard for months now and it's time to ease up just a bit. Maybe that will help me lose some more of this weight. I've been all cardio and very little strength/toning and I think I'm at the point where I need to balance it out. When I figure out my NEW goals I will post :smile:

    Where is everyone today? So quiet in here :cry:

    Hi Ladies!
    Checking in with CP2 and TS. I just love CP2 lately! I go through phases...for a while all I did was PK&J, then it was CP3, and suddenly I feel like I'm really clicking with the music and moves on CP2. I guess when I get tired of this I'll have to go rediscover CP1! :laugh:

    Those last 10 pounds are rough ladies...that was definitely my pattern, a week or two (or three :grumble: ) of no loss then a week when suddenly I'm down 1.5 - 2 lbs.

    Lyn, now that I achieved my goal weight I actually seem to lose easier even though I've upped my calories (alot!!!), so today I adjusted my profile a bit...one more pound to lose :tongue: That's kind of a freebie though, it doesn't really matter whether I lose it or not, but I like to have goals! The thing is though, I definitely think it's because I've been focusing so much on toning and strength training after hitting my goal. Still doing cardio of course, but adding in heavier weights with all of my toning. Like Chalene says, muscle burns calories...and I love it!!!

    I was just noticing today how close EVERYONE is to their goals!!! :drinker: This is one amazing team!!! Keep up the awesome work everyone...you're such an inspiration!

    Janet...you're amazing with those 4:45 workouts! I've got to try that someday just to see what it's like...NOT! :laugh:

    Have a great afternoon everyone!

    Hey, Turbo Jammers!

    Sorry I have been MIA...so much going on and lots of stress (ugh!!!). I have been working out and doing good w/ my calories, but seem to be stuck. My DH is currently on nights and will be for another week or so (has been for the last 3 weeks). Once we are back to a "normal" schedule I'll be back more often. Things just get crazy around here when daddy is gone. Take care, everyone! Keep on jammin' and I'm so proud of you!!:drinker:

    Kelly Thank you for checking in. I've been worrying about you. Good to know that you are still getting your workouts in amongst a hectic schedule. Sorry you are stuck, maybe once you have a chance to relax and relieve some stress you will see it come off again.

    Megan-thank you for sending me the Page suggestion on Facebook...did you get my flair??

    Becky-Keep up the good work and you will see your goal weight! You will not quit because you love your workout and that makes a big difference! By the way....you don't have a ticker...would you mind sharing with us your goals?

    Hello ladies,
    Just got CP3 in the mail! I can't wait to do it. Gotta find the time somehow today to do it. Crazy busy day of running around doing PTA stuff and the after school activities. Going to try real hard to get something in if it kills me! I tried getting up at 6 to do it but I just couldn't muster the energy. I wish I could do the early morning, before the kiddies get up routine. Any suggestions to motivate me to get up so early??

    Hi Ladies,
    checking in with TS, Ab jam and 40 min jog...in the rain...I think I should get extra calories burned for that! :laugh:

    Kelly, so glad you checked in...we miss you! :heart:

    Lyn, what's a flair? I'll have to look. Did you get your cookbook yet??

    mamiof3, have fun w/ CP3...I love it. Janet is the expert on early morning workouts around here. I have no idea how she does it! Maybe she has some tips.

    Becky, I've been doing CP2 alot lately too...I just love the music on that one!

    have a grat day everyone!

    Hi Family,
    I'm here and checking w/ 20min this morning 5am (i overslept!) but at least I kept my promise to always do something when I get up! I am the resident nut who usually gets up b/c 4-430 am or so to do 45 in of TJ before work. In answer to your question it's has all been about changing my mind. My goal is to lose weight, get healthier and feel better. I feel better when I work out., especially after the work out:laugh: so I put my sneaks right near the closet by my bed and try not to negotiate w/ mself about whether or not I feel like working out - when I do that the pillow always wins!!! Set your alarm earlier and give it a try. If I miss a day now it just feels wrong ~ and the bonus is I still have the option to w/o when I get home, like tonight will be PK & K and 3T!
    Did 20min and 3T last night and I started out using bands that were really much to tight and I almost fell out getting thru the bicept section in the beginning!! I had to switch to the resisitance bands that came with the package - that's what I get for being an overachiever, LOL!!!!
    Hope all have a fantastic day ~ duty calls!!

    Janet:heart:

    Hello,

    Someone posted this link on another topic so I thought I would chime in. I've just started the TJ series and I'm loving it. Although it does highlight how very uncoordinated I am, especially CP! Tonight it is TS, 20 minutes and AJ! Please tell me I WILL get better at the moves, right? :blushing:

    It's nice to see all you TJ fans, seems like you've been doing it a while. Now I know where to go for advice on maximizing my results. I was doing Biggest Loser DVD's and I still like them but was getting bored and decided to switch it up.

    Thanks for posting this link! :drinker:

    Hi Wildkat!
    When I first started TJ I felt like the biggest klutz in the world! Now the moves are automatic, and so much fun...it will DEFINITELY get easier!! Keep up the great work!

    Welcome WildKat! You will get better at the moves. You will get stronger. It will feel like second nature eventually. I'm glad you joined us!

    Checkin in with CP3, 10 minutes of Ab Jam (all I could get in, DD is cutting two teeth and she was screaming to be held), and then I walked 2 miles tonight in 30 minutes. I was literally haulin *kitten* :laugh:

    Becky I'm glad you figured out your ticker!

    Janet you are amazing. I have NEVER been a morning person so I will NEVER be able to do the early morning routine but I am in awe of your dedication, determination and hard work!

    Night all!

    Hey Everybody,
    Welcome Widlkat! I think all of us were kind of uncoordinated to start but after a while it definetly gets easier,you feel stronger and it just gets to be plain old fun. Some folks were mentioning CP2 and that has been the go to dvd of late for me too!! I love the music and the order of the combinations ~ it just rreally gets me going:drinker: the only thing I would add is "floating clouds" and "bow and arrow" to the Tai Chi cool down at the end! That would make it even more awesome! Checking in w/ CP3 - almost had to force myself , my hand was going for CP2...yet again!!
    DH just got in from his meeting so going to sign off and see how his day was ~ sounds like some grumbling in the other room,:wink:

    Take care all and have a good nite:heart:

    My cook book finally showed up!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!

    Good morning ladies. I forgot to take my measurements yesterday so I did it today and.....
    In the last month I lost a total of 3 1/2 inches and 4 lbs. Not too bad. Most of the inches came from off my hips (post baby belly pouch area) so that is good. I think as that area continues to get smaller I will be more satisfied with my body.

    The weather is gorgeous here today after having windy rainy weather for the last few days. I plan on getting out and enjoying it this afternoon. I must get my workout in first. If my teething daughter will cooperate I will do PK&J today....if she wont I may just do FB and call it good.

    Hope all of you are having a wonderful day.
