Turbo Jammers 09/07 - 09/13

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!
Erica

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:

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!

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!

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
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...
Casey:flowerforyou:

Morning Everyone

I got my 3 miles in again. It seems to be getting easier...I shouldn't say that I'll probably jinx myself. Maybe it's because I have a friend that is riding along with me. She just had a baby the end of July so right now she just bikes along side me. It's nice to have someone to chat with, makes it go by quickly but I miss my tunes!!!

Ghanie-best of luck to your hubby. Job market is tough. I've been jobless for almost a year and a half. Hope he gets it!!

Angel- I hear ya on the lee way in calories. I like to leave about 100 just for human error.

Erica-Injuries can really be motivation killers. Great job on getting out there and burnin some calories. The maid fairy didn't find her way to my house but the nap fairy found my daughter so I got my cleaning done :laugh:

Erika-I know how hard it can be to find time to workout when your chasin kids around. Just remember something is better than nothing!! It may not be the big workout you wanted it to be but be proud of yourself for getting a workout in amongst a crazy busy day!

Casey-sorry to hear of your tummy troubles. Hope that it doesn't give you too much trouble between now and your appointment. Great job on getting a workout in even though you didn't feel well.

Well I'm thinkin it's gonna be a pretty lazy day from here on out. I do need to wash the bedding, but I got most of the household chores done yesterday. And a bonus I don't have to cook tonight. We are going out to dinner for a friends birthday!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
Lyn

Hi! Still getting my workouts in but have been bad about posting. I will try to remember to do so after tonight's workout.

I am now juggling Turbo Jam and Hip Hop Abs! It is giving me some fun variety for my cardio workouts. I'm still doing the CE program as well.

Erica-I hope you feel better soon.

Ghanie-Good luck to your husband! I will keep my fingers crossed for your family!

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the kind words. Yesterday was a bad day at work again- it's hard to do surgery when the anesthesia machine breaks and instead of just seeing yorkies (like normal) I had a 90lb lab and a 70 lb golden. Needless to say my shoulder is screaming :explode: and I'm glad I have the next 2 days off to recover! Going to try to run today between studying- my goal is to run for 20 consecutive minutes and then break up 40 minutes with walking 5/running 5 (I should probably say jogging b/c I'm a slow poke!)

Casey- I hope you have some good days coming up. Can you email me those links at ecrb77@yahoo.com about the mileage?
Angel- you're a beast- thanks for being a good motivator.
Ghanie- good luck with your 15 hour days. Hope your husband hears good news soon.
Drevans- 3 miles is awesome! Way to go!
Spiralgirl- it's great to hear how much you're getting done!

Have a great day everyone!

Good evening Jammers!
It was a pretty lax day for me today, I decided not to go for my AM run...instead rocked out with my mom and did TJ FB! I hadn't done that one in awhile, so it was nice After breakfast I headed out for a bikeride...another thing I haven't done in awhile..haha! I finished up allll the lagging things that I can never finish from the week (pay bills, clean up, etc) and finally ended up doing about an hour of pilates mid-afternoon, and later evening completing a TJ 20-minute! I felt good, but for some reason I feel like I did not accomplish that much today:ohwell: ..maybe because my calorie burn was lower today...but I shouldn't be bummed I was still very active! I think I was just feeling under the weather today, kinda exhausted and in need of a lower day..I also feel like I maybe shouldn't have eaten so much today:laugh: ..but I am still left with about 100 cals, negative 3 carbs and a few proteins...I guess going over by a little is ok? I hate feeling nerved when my numbers are red! lol! how stupid......:blushing:
Anyways, I hope to get my butt up and out the door for my run tomorrow AM, then an afternoon with Push1 and probably some other exercises
Oh, I had a question about resting calorie burn-should I be subtracting from my exercise cals that my HRM says I burned?? I usually have been leaving around 100 cals at the end of the day to accommodate, but I heard somewhere to subtract about 80 cals per hour exercised...:huh:
Erica- I am really sorry to hear about your shoulder still! I HEAR ya bout the yorkies!:laugh: There's nothing quite like lugging 90lbs dead weight onto the sx table..lol! Be safe, be careful girl! And rest!
Fitnesspal-YES TurboJam works! I've been doing Chalene's workouts since January and I still can't get enough:smooched: I have (and several others on here) started the ChaLean Extreme program which is her circuit training program lifting heavy weights, but for the cardio you want-TurboJam baby!:laugh:

Morning Everyone,
I haven't fallen off the planet but I haven't been as careful as I need to be with the food for the last month or so, and It shows. No weight loss... no gain either but no loss which is the goal. I stopped logging my food for like 3 weeks!! MFP even sent me a couple of emails(that's a first!) Trying to find my mojo again - the exercise is still a priority and I haven't stopped the w/o's but I want to get the eating clean back on track again and I (once again!) realize I can't do that without your help. Seems like it's so easy to make an allowance here and there - then all of a sudden i turn around and i'm just not as careful as i used to be.
Anyway - enough of the whining:laugh: , I've logged my food for the day and i'm sticking to it. DH got us a membership to the gym in our subdivision (i am so not a gym person but i'm trying to be open minded ) and we went last night for the first time together! He has come on board with the fitness quest so we've been run/ walking together on the weekends. How cool is that!! A big positive change for our family.
I did 20 min of stationary bike at a pretty vigirous level and i amde it through 10 minutes on the ellipital machine (ouch!) plus goofed around with some of the weight machines for a while. We we're there for a bout an hour and I was drenched with sweat - have no idea how to calculate the burn but I do feel it today in my glutes/ hamstrings
Planning on some TJ after work and probably back to the gym w/ DH tonight.. we'll see.

Signining off for now ,
