    Good Morning :yawn: Today is my first day. Thank you Megan 0313 for turning me onto this link. I literally found Turbo Jam while cleaning the other day. My sister had ordered it in August 2006 and never even opened it (she hates exercise) and gave it to my daughter who threw it on a shelf and here I am. I haven't started yet but will do it for the first time in about an hour and will let you know how it goes after (if I can still function then :laugh: ). I got my HRM yesterday and am raring to go. :glasses:

    Good Morning!

    naugustyniak, glad you joined us! We'll be anxious to hear how your first TJ went! :tongue: I have PK&J on tap for today...I haven't done that one in ages, then I think Booty Sculpt.

    Last week was pretty light on here...hope we hear from deedun, Sara, and Kelly this week!!

    Okay I DID IT!!! I did Learn and Burn. I only burned 171 calories but I think I did okay. It was really awkward but I think I will get the hang of it. I will probably walk on my treadmill for about 30 minutes to up those calories but I feel good. Tomorrow may be another story, I think I am gonna hurt in places I didn't know I had.

    Good morning Jammers. I had a great weekend as posted on the previous thread! I really burned some serious calories and did PK&J for the first time and loved it. Probably because not so many dance steps so I felt I was keeping up better, still quite the butt kicker!

    I'm on tap for CP tonight and depending on how I feel maybe some Ab Jam. I'm pretty sore this morning but will work through it! :bigsmile:

    Have a great day! :drinker:

    PK&J is Punch, Kick and Jam. You may not have that one depending on which package you have. It's also a cardio workout, but not quite as "dancey". CP is Cardio Party...there are 3 of them...CP1, CP2, CP3. On the 2 DVD set you'll have CP1. You get pretty much the same workout with all of them, it's just nice to have some variety. If you decide that you want to add to your collection, you can get additional DVDs at amazon.

    Good morning everyone.

    I had a....mixed weekend. Saturday we went to see Shoshone falls....it's supposedly the Niagara Falls of the West. Did a lot of walking and ate pretty good. Sunday was the exact opposite. I sat around and did nothing and ate CRAP!! Seriously I had peanuts and M&Ms for dinner! I don't know what my deal was but the scale reflected my poor choices. So I really gonna have to kick it in gear today. Not sure which workout today...probably CP1 and Ab Jam.

    wildkat and janet-good job on your workouts this weekend.

    Welcome to the Newbies. I really believe you will love your workouts and you will love this thread.

    Christy-How much longer until your videos show up? Are you getting excited?

    Deedun, Kelly, Sara, and any others I may have missed I hope you will check in this week. We miss your lovely faces!

    Hi,

    My videos will be here by the end of the week since I ordered over the weekend.
    I can relate to having a weekend with some 'interesting' food choices.

    I was in Los Angeles for a week - had mini chocolate chip muffins for breakfast, mexican food, mom's home cooking and desserts for Easter...Yummm!

    When I got back the scale was not happy to see me. But, I am back on my A-game. And you are too by the looks for the great progress you've made with your weight loss goals!!!

    WooooHoooo :glasses: :flowerforyou: :wink: :smile: :happy:

    Hey Jammers,
    Beautiful, sunny and thankfully "dry"day here in Texas, LOL!! Glad to see everyone bringing it and ready for another challenging week!

    Hello Jammers! I did CP1 and AJ tonight. It gets more fun each time as I get better at the moves. I was able to put more energy into it since I didn't have to concentrate so hard on what I was doing. :blushing: I ended burning more calories this time then the last time I did it! :drinker:

    Now I've got to find something light to eat, I'm starved! :bigsmile:

    Hey everyone,
    Sorry I've been MIA again. Still trying to get over the crud and my back has been bothering me. It's better today so I will try to do CP1 today. It's pretty unusual for my back to hurt. I am blaming it on the 5 pounds I gained while being sick for the last six weeks. :grumble: But it's probably something else.
    Hello to the newbies, and hello to the familiar faces! I will try to check back in more often!

    naugusty-I love your little quote about cookies and chocolate...I use that one all the time :laugh:

    I did CP3 yesterday. I really was feeling like working out and since I love that one so much I was hoping it would pump me up and put me in the mood. Well DD wasn't cooperating yesterday so it took me 70 minutes to do a 40 minute workout!! But I finished (I won't share with you my sanity level by the time it was over :explode: ) plus I got 4 miles of walking in yesterday. Food choices weren't the greatest again yesterday but oh well. I'm hoping to get to the store today and pick up some much needed fruits and veggies. I also need to go shopping for my "birthday night out" outfit :happy: Hubs gave me permission last night :love: :smooched: Love that man!

    I bought some free weights over the weekend. Some little 2 and 3 pounders, but I figure something is better than nothing.

    Great job on all your workouts everyone. Wildkat -good to hear it's getting easier already.

    Becky glad you enjoyed your shopping spree.
    MM good to see you. Sorry you've been under the weather.

    I'm off for now. Enjoy your day!

    Hi Everyone,
    Checking in with CP2 and Ab Jam.

    Christy, thanks for the encouragement...hope your TJ gets there soon and you join us! :flowerforyou:

    MM, sorry you're under the weather...hope your back feels better soon! :flowerforyou:

    Great job on eveyone's workouts!

    Lyn, how are you liking your Hungry Girl book? I've seen it at B&N and thought about getting it. I've been getting a little lazy too with my eating...well more like bored. I need some new ideas. I did make a huge bowl of fruit salad the other day that I've been going to when I crave something sweet. Yummy! :smile:
    Have a great day everyone!

    I didn't do TJ today, I did a run/walk on the treadmill this morning. My daughter was home today and using the TV so I skipped today. I did burn 374 calories on the treadmill in 39 minutes. I hope to get back to it tomorrow, no kids all day tomorrow. It did kind of hurt my knees a little yesterday. I am in the living room with carpet so I wonder if that is why. I am going to try to set up a smaller TV I have with the DVD player in the basement and see if that works better. Have a good day all.

    Hi everyone, I am thinking about getting this program. I was looking into P90X but I do not want to bulk up and I LOVE to dance (Im a former dancer). I am just curious before I go buy them. This is not a low carb nutrition plan is it? I do not believe it those and don't want to go pay for it then find out it is! Thanks!
    Oh! And for those of you in Canada you can buy the program at "As Seen on TV' stores if you don't want to wait for the order to come in :)

    Hey Everybody,
    Hope all are gong great and are having a good day!!
    Checking in W/ P K & J before work and CP2 and Ab Jam are on for when I get home ~ if time permits. Definetly going to do the CP2 though, I just love it!

    Hey Kennie,
    This isn't about eating so much , really, at least not for me . The DVDS are more like a Kick boxing / dancey kind of a workout that has great music, high energy and is lots of fun - been doing it since jan 09 and am down 21lbs and some much needed inches as well. I'm def more toned and stronger too.
    Still have a ways to go but really glad I found something that works for me.
    It's a workout I look forward to ~ give it a try ... I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Have a fantastic rest of the day everybody!

    Janet:heart:

    Hey Turbo Jammers! DH is done with the outage at work so it gives me a tad bit more "free" time to chat...lots still going on in this crazy house of ours:wink::laugh: Most of my "free" time has been spent playing around w/ my new camera, studying photography blogs/websites, etc. I'm looking to start my own business in the next year or so; however, already have friends/family looking for photo shoots this summer. In fact...I'm shooting a wedding this fall. Friends of ours are getting married (obviously, know I"m not a professional, but enjoy my pictures) and sought me out to take their pictures (trying to cut costs where they can). I was really hesitant at first (it's a big day that you don't get to repeat), but they are not expecting perfection. OK, enough about that...I'm just excited!

    Checking in with TS and 20 min so far today. I'm planning on Ab Jam this afternoon.

    Keep on jammin' girls!
