20 th July new group

This is gonna be a hard week again... I"m going to have to get up early to get to the gym tomorrow and thursday or to exercise at all... tomorrow I work from 8-5, class from 6-10..thursday is the same schedule... Friday i'll be able to get to the gym after work.. I work 7-3, class 6-10...so hopefully i'll be able to lose something friday..

It is hard to fit an exercise time, richelle! When you find the time you are exhausted. I am back at work and need to get back into working out. I have been doing a lot of cleaning at work. It keeps me busy but it is not enough to count as a workout! I will work out tomorrow, Friday and Saturday...richelle you can work out on Friday and Sat. too! Don't give up! Don't get yourself too tired...your days are really long.
Spiragirl71, you rock!

Morning!!

Richelle-that is one crazy schedule this week!! Kudos for getting up early to goto the gym!

Rsabey- How is your neck feeling? That Shred DVD is tough!! You did better than I did with level 1!!

Chrissey-I love MFP! There is always something new for me to learn on here.

Patty-How did your measurements go? I'm glad you feel better since you started this thread.

Eava-What kind of workout did you do today?

Last night I did a Turbo Jam 20 minute workout. When I ordered the Shred DVD, I also ordered one called 10 Minute Solution: Dance It Off & Tone It Up. I did that one last night too. It was 30 minutes of cardio and 20 of toning bands. It was so much fun. I'm very clumsy and uncoordinated. I was giggling the entire way through it. It did keep me in the cardio zone the entire time though. The video is broken up into 10 minute workouts so it went by very fast. You can also mix and match them or only do one. I did the whole DVD just to check it out since I was trying to work out an hour anyway. At one point my husband came downstairs and was dancing behind me during one segment that I was backwards and stepping all over myself. I said "I've never done this one before". He laughs and said "I can tell!". It was fun though. I worked up a sweat though and burned a lot of calories.

Today is my rest day. I am going to try to take a walk at lunch. My new food addiction of the week is eggplant. I bought some on Saturday and have had them every day.

Have a great day!

Good morning everyone. I have a had a rough couple of days working 12 hours each day, this of course led to old habits and not working out and I am up over a pound this week all ready. So, today I got up early, ate a good breakfast and packed my gym bag so I can no near work instead of going home first so there are no excuses. Glad to read everyone is having a good week.

Okay, I didn't rest today. I will tomorrow. Got in a 2 mile walk at lunch. Did 50 minutes of cardio (same stuff as yesterday) and then I did 40 minutes of sculpting. Tomorrow resting for sure.

I caught a couple of episodes of Dance Your *kitten* Off one weekend. It was a much better show than I expected it to be. I haven't seen it since then though.

Learned my lesson on the Oreos. Bought them for the "kids" because they were on sale. Yeah...that didn't work out very well. :grumble:

Good night!

well, i have to say I did not get up early enough to go to the gym... i'm glad i didn't either. Work was ridiculous today.. I got my exercise in while working. my housekeepers basically didn't do well at all today so i had to pick up their slack when they skipped out because they had appointments and people to take to practice "scheduled".. they of course tell me this at the last minute...needless to say i was RUNNING down halls to get rooms finished while people are trying to check in. My boss' actually had to finish checking rooms because I left work at 5, ran home to shower, then got to class by 6.. The only reason i like doing housekeeping is that I get a great workout tomorrow i'm not incharge of housekeeping, i'm just cleaning rooms, so another fabulous workout there.. so hopefully i won't be rushing home to shower then rush to class, like today.

Great question Patty

I am also interested in the answers..I crave salt...and I LOVE chips and I know I can't have those...so I usually have popcorn...It always seems I have in the 2-300 range of calories left at the end of the day so it allows me 1/2 to 1 whole bag...sometimes I will have tostitos bite size chips and a few tablespoons of salsa...

Richelle..I did housekeeping for years at a hospital...very physical job...it is a great workout...but exhausing...

Patty- I don't usually snack in the evenings. I get home around 5pm and dinner is ready by 6. I wait an hour then workout and tend to kids and chores. I'm not usually hungry after that.

I do take all of my vitamins and suppliments at night. Sometimes it upsets my stomach. Then I'll have a slice of whole grain bread or some crackers to absorb some of the yuck.

Learned my lesson on the Oreos. Bought them for the "kids" because they were on sale. Yeah...that didn't work out very well. :grumble:

Don't be too hard on yourself...I love Oreo's and fortunately when I do buy them I only buy the small 4 packs of them or else I would eat an entire bag of them...I get the kids to give me just one and then run quick or Mommy is gonna eat them all on you :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: They think it's a fun game little do they no

well did 6.5 hours of housekeeping then did a half hour of stationary bike and calisthenics after work... did my weigh in today for tomorrow as tomorrow is gonna be jammed packed.. I'm down to 186! I lost 2 lbs!!

ps... LOVE Dance your *kitten* off.... right now i'm really rooting for Reuben and Pinky, reuben is doing awesome and Pinky just as such a drive that i love!

Good Evening All,

I haven't watched Dance Your *kitten* Off - but it looks like I should give it a try. I'm more of a Top Chef, Next Food Network Star kind of girl.

My neck/shoulder is still stiff and sore. I'm going to call and make an appointment for a massage this weekend.

Evening snacks, I like Trail Mix, Sugar Free Fudge Pop or 100 Calorie Bag of Kettle Corn.

I usually try to leave about 150 calories for a nice glass of wine.

Wish I had the time to get some good workouts in. Hopefully my neck will feel better next week so I can get back to it.

Ronda

So this week has been pretty busy, started my new job.

Happy to report 2lb loss!! WOO HOO!!

I am just stoked! Did the happy dance at the scale this morning :laugh:

Patty- I am no longer eating in the evenings. I stop after dinner. If I am starving (which I was last night) I just have some water. For snacks thru the day I love veggies or wasa crackers with hummus!

Have a great day Everyone!
