Turbo Jammers 8/24-8/30

Morning!! I was up early to workout. Did the CE Intervals and Ab Burner. Hoping to take a walk at lunch and maybe do TJ 20 minute this evening.

Happy Monday:glasses:

Woot woot- I lost another pound- I'm officially in the Healthy BMI range and I'm .5 lbs away from my halfway mark!:happy: This morning I woke up and ran for 15 minutes and walked for 20. Hopefully after work I won't be too tired and i can fit in TurboSculpt.

Have a great one!

Good afternoon jammers!:bigsmile:
I've missed you guys! It was a crazy weekend with events, company, stress of crappy Staples people and a virus prone computer:grumble: , and not feeling well (my back is in serious need of a massage and a few adjustments! ). I got a new computer ordered for labor day weekend arrival I hope..and made some chiro appts for next week..so we'll hope:)
I ran my BEST mile times ever in a race this weekend (10k) so was very excited. Didn't do a long run this weekend with race..so the break was nice. Rocked out a fat blaster TJ workout yesterday...I sucked the first time and hated it..I totally rocked this one out though and now love it! I also started CE Lean yesterday...I haven't had a sore body for a long time..think this month will challenge me:)
I am also avoiding stress (easier said than done!) and salads to see if it helps with my stomach:happy:
I am glad to hear you guys keep rockin it out....weight loss too! I was like these guys RULE! Sounds like some of you are mixing it up too..which is always good. Gotta keep that body guessing....
I hope I can be on more this week...I was a bad jammer this past week!:sad:
Casey:flowerforyou:

Hello hello-
Got in a TurboSculpt after a crazy day of work. Goal is to do CardioParty in the AM before my insanely long day of work.
Casey- that's awesome that you ran so fast:drinker: Hope you're feeling better soon- we miss you!
Angel- 650 is a pretty kickbutt day!!:happy:
Have a terrific night everyone!

Morning!! Taking a rest day today but wanted to check in and keep up with everyone's progress. Yesterday I skipped the 20 minute TJ. My legs had had enough after CE Intervals and a long walk at lunch.

Erika-How do you like Hip Hop Abs?

Has anyone tried Turbo Kick?

Ok, I managed to get through Plyo X today. It wasn't my best performance (actually one of my worst in a while) but now that I'm adding ballet and flexibility training back, I should catch up soon.

Stretching doesn't burn a ton of calories but it makes a huge difference in how well I attack a difficult workout. I also tend to make leaps in my athletic performance when I have a solid schedule that includes a full hour of stretching at least twice a week.

Oh yeah, the ticker just bumped down another pound!

Sounds like we all had a productive day! Didn't make it up in time for Cardioparty but I did 20 minute TJ instead before work. Made today a little more bearable- I can't wait until my husband finds a job so I can look for a new one. Talk about stomping on my bubble from school- again I don't know what I would have done without your support during this truly trying time in my life. :flowerforyou: The past 2 days just reiterated that I need to keep my blinders on and NOT EAT PIZZA AND CHOCOLATE:explode:

Ghanie thanks for the insight with stretching- I think I need to do more Yoga and stretch more as well. Way to go on another lb away for good:drinker:

Angel- thanks for being a great inspiration!

Off to do TurboAbs and go to the store (out of eggs and coffee!)
Have a great night!

Good Morning Ladies!!! This morning was TamiLee's I Want Those Arms level 1 & 2 as well as Shape Bikini Body Camp 1. What a fun workout this morning! I'm having fun trying otu some of my DVD's I haven't done in awhile! I'm kind of OCD when it comes to organizing and doing spreadsheets, so I'm spreadsheeting all my DVD's and my HR monitor stats for each one. This helps me chart which workouts are giving me the best calorie burn so if I need to squeeze a workout in at the end of the day, I know which one to go for for the best burn! I know, a little overboard, but hey, that's me! :laugh:

Well, gotta get showered up and off to work. Here's to awesome workouts today!

Hey everyone, Burn 2 today and I also have the evening off, yay! Of course I'll be spending most of that time hemming pants for the coming school year. My boys got tall enough to upgrade pants but their butts wont fit into the new sizes :grumble:.

Wow Angel, I was also in the 160's around January. I don't think I want to lose another 10 lbs though ... there's a certain point where I start to look a lot younger and hubby ends up getting dirty looks for dating a young teenager :laugh:.

Good Morning Ladies...it's almost Friday..YAY! This morning was a Firm DVD as well as Power Half Hour Bun Burner. I really like Tony Horton!!! He makes me laugh!!

Hope the work day goes fast today, I'm having a hard time concentrating on work lately, so it makes the days drag on. Dinner with some friends tonight, so I'm excited for that too.

Have a good one!

Hello ladies (in Chalene's voice- j/k)

Wow, I had a HORRIBLE day yesterday. I woke up and went running- just to get to terrible side cramp after 6 minutes. Does anyone know what to do for side cramps? I did run for 14 out of 20 minutes and then I walked with my mom who is visiting.

Then I went to work and I almost walked out. :explode: Not only did I get out 2 hours late (with family visiting), I was yelled at repeatedly and people just don't listen to me. One of my patients was crashing and I told a nurse to get me a few things stat- and they asked me why. I actually had to say, "Because I am a doctor and I need to revive my patient." The lack of respect is hurtful and there 's no team atmosphere- which means the quality of medicine is not OK.:mad: I was so exhausted and emotionally drained when I came home that I ate dinner (at 10:30) and went to bed. I ate rather healthy (no pizza, no chocolate) but I never tracked my calories yesterday- so I feel guilty about that as well- especially since today is my 2 month check point.:sad:

Sorry about my rant, just know if my 9 years of school hadn't cost so much I would have walked out. My sister moved out yesterday and husband forgot to get me a new scale:grumble:, so my 2 month weigh in will be tomorrow now.

Anyway, today I'm going to do biggest loser cardiomax and probably go for a walk and do AbJam tonight. The good news is I'm off work for 3 days and I'll be with my parents:happy:

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for letting me vent- it's keeping my mind off the bad calories and fat from chocolate, pizza and ice cream!

Hey jammers!
Busy day today as always! Went out in the mist/rain this am to get my run in..had to use my IPOD for a stopwatch as the hr monitor continues to get lighter and lighter...:grumble:
Going to do some CE Lean 3 later..then off for chores, errands, packing for MN trip with Jason:smooched:
Lilangel: Good for you taking a break. Sometimes when you get active it's hard! And not to worry about the man thing..enjoy life and he will come when he's meant to be..and he'll def be worth the wait:bigsmile:
Erika: Tony Horton is a hoot..too funny as you'd think he'd be totally like let's do it and be a hard *kitten*! He is..but a funny one:laugh:
Spiral: Way to continue to rock it out and support others! I am here anytime..glad to help..I know you'd do the same back!!!:flowerforyou:
Erica: Don't feel bad about the rant..sound like you are having a tough time with work..which totally sucks..it takes up a lot of our day! I am amazed at how you keep at it..go girl!:noway:
Keep it real all...
CC:bigsmile:

Good evening girls! It was a busy day for me at work today..and I've felt so sluggish all day:frown: I managed to complete my Burn3 and also threw in a bikeride after I got home though. I guess I just feel I accomplish more when I burn more calories! haha-It's ok though, I have work til noon tomorrow then can kick it up again over the weekend off! WOOHOO!
I hope things are going well for everyone, I think I am going to check in early tonight-think my body is just feeling a little fatigue:ohwell: So I plan to get some more rest tonight and push harder tomorrow:bigsmile:
Erica- I am sorry to hear about you're situation at work-it seems to me when a doctor gives a request that its a nurses job to listen--HELLO?! I am a veterinary technician (basically an animal nurse )and when I've got an animal crashing and Dr tells me to grab some supplies-DO IT! Geez...:noway:
Ghanie and spiralgirl-GREAT job with the workouts! Keep on truckin! And good job treating yourself to a kit-kat
Casey-Sounds like the Polar is dying...RIP Polar...lol. I hope I get a good use outta mine before it decides to bite the dust!
Have a good night all, I'll check in in the AM!

Hey ladies!
Not sure about you guys..but I NEED WEEKEND!!!:drinker:
My home computer is now hacking into my facebook etc and sending other people viruses (awesome) so now not using that for basically anything except surfing internet and going to see if I can still do dvd's on it. So might not be on as much for like a week or two! :grumble: :sad:
Heading out of town with Jason tonight...so probably won't be on much this weekend..so you girls ROCK IT OUT! I am so proud of you guys...some of you were just newbies not that long ago and now you all are regulars and don't think much of it:bigsmile:
Have a good one all!:flowerforyou:
Casey

For example, last week when I did Burn It Off I burned almost 200 cals, but today only about 160..what's with that??

When your fitness improves, it gets harder to burn calories. So your body isn't slacking. It's just getting more efficient at working out. It's also been a few weeks doing the same workouts so your body is getting used to them.

But no worries, one more week and we get to move into the Push phase with brand new workouts. And because they will be new, the calorie burn will go back up.
