    Hey jammers! Haha-It's about time we opened a new thread..I didn't even realize! Oh well-Thanks deedun:tongue:
    I had a GREAT run this AM! It felt soo good to see that my cal burn was the highest it has been-apparently I am getting more efficient:bigsmile: ..lol I hope you are all having great success in your workouts this weekend also! Keep it up ladies!
    Plan is to maybe do some TurboSculpt along with my mom (be a motivator) and Push2 later this afternoon:happy: which is perfect that I got my run in this AM-looks like its going to rain! Yuck!
    Erica-Thanks for the update on the vettech stuff-I do know about it, I actually work at a very small practice currently..so maybe eventually I might want to move to a larger area and become more specialized:tongue:
    Have a great AM everyone! I will check back to see what you're all up to later!

    Haha I found you!

    Yes that's right Dara and Megan here I am! I haven't done TJ in about 3 months...and it's starting to show!!! I am trying to walk/jog about 6 miles a day but I'm realizing that I'm gonna have to get some Turbo Sculpt or Ab Jam or Booty Sculpt or something in as well. My tummy is TERRIBLE! Must fix it!

    Well since being gone I gained about 10 lbs...not too bad for an entire summer of eating what I want and no exercise but it sure is a big slide backwards. I'm hoping to loose the nasty 10 lbs by Halloween and then focus on the last 10 lbs from Halloween until summer...I know its gonna take a long time to get them off so I'm getting myself mentally prepared.

    My plan of action for the first 10 lbs is watching my calories and lots of cardio. Then for the last 10 lbs I will drop the cardio to about 3 times a week and focus on toning. This should have been what I was doing all summer but I got lazy and now I have to pay for it!

    Well it's time to go walk/jog. Gonna get my 4 miles in and then off to a Rib Cook off....maybe I should put in more that 4 miles :tongue:

    Ok, two things to report for this morning. First off, my ticker moved another pound. And second, I broke below 130 for the first time in a LONG time (my driver's license says I'm 135).

    So anyway, I'm celebrating at 129.8 lbs today. I don't know if the push workouts will let me keep it but I'll take the win for now.

    In any case, Push 1 later today. :flowerforyou:

    Morning Ladies! I was raring to go at 5am this morning, so got out my Shaun T Rockin Body DVD and I worked it out! Wow!!! I forgot how hard that one was...almost the same calorie burn as a 45 minute run! I was glad to be done, my body was like Jello at the end!

    Now, time to get some work done before my oldest heads off to his 1st day of Kindergarten!

    Have a great one everyone!

    Way to go Ghanie!!!:drinker:

    Got called in to work at the last minute because someone is ill- goofed up my morning plans for a long run and then TurboSculpt- hopefully I won't get out too late so I'll be able to workout tonight. Catch up with you later!

    May I join this group?? I have Turbo Jam and I was just thinking about picking it back up to do...my sister even agreed to do it with me...I need something to counter act the trouble I'm having staying with in my calories lately hopefully the the workouts will motivate me to keep the calories in check. I'll start today, this evening when I get home. I'll be back tomorrow to let you know how it went.

    Good morning all

    I got my 4 mile walk/jog in this morning and tonight I'm going to Zumba.
    I really need to get inspired to do TJ again. I really do love the workouts and I haven't done them forever. I bought the Fan pak with PiYo, HHH and Turbo Kick...haven't touched them :cry: I keep telling myself winter is coming and I will need an indoor workout...so I guess that's what I'm waiting for, until then I will continue to enjoy the outdoors.

    I'm not pleased with the scale so far. I started exercising and eating well last week and thought I would see some positive results....instead I've gained 3 lbs :grumble: I need to be sure I'm logging everything that goes in my mouth and keep on exercising and hopefully I will see better results next week.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    Hi all,

    Checking in with TJ20... :angry: I used to be able to fly through this dvd but now its kicking my *kitten*, I have a stitch from it and I'm wrecked! I hate the way I have to build up again, I need to remember this feeling for the next time I think about skipping a workout or two!!

    Lyn, what's the fanpack?? Sounds interesting! And don't worry about the scale, it could be a number of things, just try and avoid getting on it every day and leave it for a week and see how you get on then...

    Hey girls! I hope you all had a great Tuesday!
    It was CE Burn Intervals and Ab Burner for me tonight after work! Phew! But-I am just not seeing the same calorie burn as when I first started! I guess that means improvement but still! It's hard to judge my cals at the end of the day:ohwell: I just adjust as needed and I did just fine..
    Well it's already getting late and I've got another whole work day ahead:grumble: ..Tomorrow is a scheduled "rest day" but we will see what I feel like after work--I will probably still do AbJam later in the evening:tongue:
    Erica-I hate when my plans get disrupted..:explode: Haha!
    Have a great PM all! Check in tomorrow:wink:

    Mornin' Ladies! I got some Jillian Michaels in this morning...once again, a workout that used to be difficult for me, was actually pretty easy! The only part I found was difficult was shoulders, so I need to work them some more!

    I'm glad today is Wednesday, what a crazy day yesterday with my oldest starting K-garten and work was just insane. I'm glad it's over and today is a new day!

    Have a great one everyone!

    Morning jammers!
    Well I am with Erika...it's been crazy. Today is a LONG day for me...I work my full time job and then coach tonight..then need to go home to do my Lean 2. Then basically go to bed! I did some treadmill running speedwork this am..and will do a walk/CE Extreme Abs over lunch. I guess I'll have some good calorie burn today!
    Lets see..what else is new..um Polar still has my heart rate monitor..I wasn't too happy that it took them like 3 days after it was recieved to even enter it into the system to get the new battery. Note to self..next time just take my chances and take it to a jewelry store to change it!
    Still training for my half marathon..went over 12 miles this past weekend and it felt awesome! I see rain in the forecast for this weekend..which means I'll probably just be wet...I will NOT run 12.5 miles on a treamilll!
    I am so glad to see some newbies and returners..we take all types here! You can never have too many good fitness and motivation buddies!:bigsmile:
    Lilangel: I don't get the same burn from Burn Intervals either. I think I am going to purchase the upgrade DVD's to it soon to get more of a challenge!
    Keep it real all...:glasses:

    Morning!! Welcome leshawnturner!

    Last night I did CP Remix, HHA Last Minute Abs, Burn 3 and 20 minutes of stretching.

    Tonight the plan is more turbo (not sure which one), Burn It Off, Recharge & some ab work and additional stretching.

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Morning ladies.

    Just got in from my 4 miles....I was actually able to jog 3 outta 4 today. My body is slowly remembering the routine :happy:
    I went to Zumba last night....good calorie burn but I don't feel it's as good a workout as Turbo Jam. Still it's fun, and it's new and that's what I need right now. I've never done a group workout kinda thing so that's a step outside my comfort zone....yea me :laugh:

    Dara-Fan Pak is just like Chalene's gym workouts....rather than made for dvd kinda thing...if that makes sense. I have PiYo, Hip Hop Hustle, and Turbo Kick.

    Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

    Well, I didn't get in a workout today and I probably won't. I ended up with an extra 5-hour shift and even though it's my night off, I have the usual 12-hour shift in addition to the 3 hour shift I start in another half hour. So yeah, I'll be going for close to 20 hours strait before I'm home long enough to workout :grumble:.

    Anyway, I gotta grab some lunch before I head back out. :explode:

    Hi Everyone-
    pulled something in my neck/shoulder again. Today I barely got off the couch because it hurt so bad. I'm hoping that it will be fine tomorrow and I can go for either my morning run or bike (don't think TJ punches are good for me right now)
    Have a good one everyone!

    Hey Jammers!
    It's pretty near bedtime-was my rest day today, but I decided to get my butt in gear and at least do AbJam..which I really debated doing...I'M GLAD I DID!:laugh: I'm kinda proud of myself coz it crossed my mind to skip it:tongue: Anyway, I just finished that and am heading to bed in a few..have a good night all! It's Push3 and a short run for me tomorrow night!:happy:
    Erica-I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder issue again! Ahhh..just give it a good rest and start back when you can...no use doing further damage by pushing yourself and feeling guilty..though I know it's a bummer (I'd be dying too..:explode: )
    Nightnight all!

    Morning Jammers,
    Well yesterday I worked both jobs and had a tough workout day...so needless to say I was EXHAUSTED when I hit bed..I was out cold! I did my CE Lean 2 later last night after both jobs..so proud that I got it done!
    This am was CE Burn Intevals..rest of day is more relaxing as just maybe a short walk and then Recharge.
    Lilangel: Good for you taking it easy but getting some ab jam in. I like the standing part for sure!
    Erica: Total bummer girl..but at least you are finding other ways to stay active.
    Ghanie: I am tired just listening to your day:) I am sure you'll adapt great with all the results you've had!
    Drevans mom: Hey girl! It takes time to get used to the running..but once you do it's wonderful! I love the calorie burn, the stress reliever, the feeling of accomplishment...have I mentioned I love running?:)
    Spiralgirl: You continue to rock it out..you go girl! Are a hip hop girl now too?:)
    Casey:bigsmile:

    Morning everyone.

    I managed another 3 miles today WAHOO! It feels good!

    Ghanie-sorry to hear about your work schedule. Be thankful you have a job!
    Erica-Take care of yourself! Your right punches would probably make them worse, but good for you for finding something else you can do rather than just doing nothing!
    Lilangel-congrats on getting in AbJam. Sometimes it can be hard to your workout, even just a 20 minute one but you always feel better once you're done!
    Casey-Thanks for the running encouragement. My hubby makes fun of me because he calls what I do "shagging" not really even a jog. But it keeps my heart rate in check and I get a good calorie burn out of it so I don't care what you call it. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Running...cheaper than Therapy" Loved it :happy:

    Hope you all have a wonderful day...I'm hoping the maid fairy will appear and clean my house while I'm not looking hahahahahaha RIGHT like that would happen!

    I got in Push Circuit 2 today ... I might add Extreme Abs later tonight since I have the evening off and might just do without Burn Intervals this week.

    Good news, hubby finally got an interview scheduled for tomorrow (his 4th in almost a year). So send positive thoughts and energy this way please!

    Hey Ladies!
    So today was a pretty busy workday for me-but I came home and got Push3 in tonight! I also added a half hour run which was just perfect:smile: I was only left with about 25 calories tonight:ohwell: ..I usually like a little more lee-way than that, but I estimated to burn more with Push3..I guess that one just doesn't hit my body as hard...:grumble:
    Either way, I am proud of myself:tongue:
    Ghanie- Congrats to your hubby! I'll make sure I keep my fingers crossed!
    Casey-Great job with the workouts girl! I know-It can be so hard after a long day at work to keep in check...I've been doing very well lately though!
    Drevansmom- Awesome run!! 3 miles is great!!! I am very new to running, but have been estimating my longer runs to be about 4 miles (I should map it in my car to find out better..haha!)
    Got a half day of work tomorrow, then I'll be doing Burn It Off and Recharge sessions, along with a longer run probably. I hope you all had a great Thursday!
    Check in tomorrow! Nightnight!

    Hi Everyone,
    Sounds like you all have had quite the week! Shoulder/neck is still quite painful- but I managed to bike for 40 minutes today. Thanks for all the encouragement...Work is not helping my shoulder- dogs just don't understand!:explode:
    Ghanie- sending good thoughts across the USA to your hubby.
    Drevan- can you send the maid fairy to me as well?
    Angel and Casey- thanks for always being a great source of inspiration- you both work so much but still get in those workouts!
    Nightie nite!

    Happy Friday Jammers! Finally, it's here...seemed to take forever!

    I have been struggling the last few days with getting up in the AM to workout, so I've had to squeeze what I can into the evenings (not much time left after the kiddos go to bed !). I did some Shaun T. Hips Buns and Thighs last night and then Turbo Sculpt this morning. Hoping to get some cardio in tonight, but probably won't happen. We're ripping out our carpet tonight so my brother and hubby can put new floors in our main level tomorrow! Lots of work, but will be nice when it's done!

    Hope you all have an awesome Friday!:happy:

    Hey jammers!
    Thanks to all of you for your kind words...it really means a lot to me:) I've been struggling with my stomach again for the past day or two. I had to tone down the am run this am to take it easy on my body..but it was nice to get outside on a beautiful morning and get some movement. Jason was there for me though when I needed him and we sat down last night to discuss my colonoscopy and decided it can't wait. So will go in as of now on Oct 12. REAL excited for that:laugh:
    Erika: I hear ya darlin! I so wish I was a hip hop girl..but Shaun T def ain't bad to look at:wink:
    Erica: Good for you to keep active in spite of an injury..that's a true athlete right there! It can be SO frustrating to not feel good and be stressed about work..I think it's wonderful you are continuing to push through!
    Angel: Way to rock it out girl..good for you! BTW..they have online pedometers that allow you to map your route and then you can tell mileage! Free too:) I have an email at home with the link..so if you can't find it send me an email at ccfett@hotmail.com and I'll pass along. Other option..if your bike has a pedometer you can mark the route that way too:)
    Ghanie: I am sending good wishes your way..my sister just found a job so I bet your luck is next! How was Extreme abs? I think that one is a killer!
    Drevans: Well we all started out just the way you did...I wished I knew more runners to help me along when I started! And you show your husband...you'll be kickin his buttocks before long! I SO agree with that bumper sticker...hmmm where would I get one?:) And even though I LOVE to clean..I don't have much time lately..so send the maid fairy my way too:laugh:
    Peace out team...
