Turbo Jammers 09/07 - 09/13

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

Don't worry about it unless you're gaining inches.

I subtract a calorie per minute but that's mostly out of habit from when I used to have long yoga sessions.

Hi Family,
Checking in to see how everybody's doing and to keep me accountable!
I got home last night and felt really weak - like I was trying to get the "crudd" that's going around the office. I decided to go for a fast walk and ended up doing only 3 miles but at least it was something.
I went over my cals by 156 :grumble: guess it's going to take a minute to get that under control again.
Thank goodness there's always a new day!! I re-read a post from Banks on eating all of your exercise cals (or close to it) and I reset my goals to account for the couple of pounds I've picked up ~ keeping myself honest.
Had a bad sore throut this morning but pushed thru fat blaster and I packed a healthy lunch. Now if I can just stay away from the bit o honey's on the admin's front desk:laugh:
So glad to be back!!

Have a fantastic day ladies
Janet

I looked a little more into how many calories I should be eating daily (checked different websites and such) and all say around 1800 net calories!

The 1800 is estimating your exercise calories already, it's not 1800 plus exercise. Though I would probably wait until the LEAN month before switching the MFP to full maintenance (will probably be around 1650 plus exercise) unless you're already starting to lose weight again.

And thanks, that's my favorite photo of me with hubby.

:bigsmile: Mornin jammers,
It is so nice here in Iowa this week..about 80 and sunny during day and cools down at night (great for windows open and morning workouts ).
I watched most of Biggest Loser last night and this am on the treadmill..I am at weigh in part:) I did my tempo run this am (I always dread that workout) but they were doing their workouts when I got to the hard part of my run so it motivated me! Although I got off the treadmill after 45 in and only burned 380 cals..I was like wtf? The treadmill with my weight put in said 470...but will take the hr monitor. Gotta get Extreme with ChaLEAN later..only 2 more lean workouts!
Lilangel: I do a lot of reserach with my diet/cals, etc..but in the end..you have to listen to your body and adapt to changes. As the years go on you learn more and more! Don't get upset over a litlte binge..hey it happens! If you continue to have cravings..consider increasing cals as maybe that's your bodies way of telling you something. And I'll tell you this..as time goes on..it gets easier and easier to say no to bad foods!
Janet: Great to see you keep working hard...love that you are back with us!! Office settings can be hard..I used to avoid areas that had food..now I am good enough most days to just say no! Plus I bring so much of my own food I just eat that...I eat pretty good stuff!
Rock it out girls..and thanks as always for all your support!

Hey everyone, checking in with Push 2.

I also might get in another workout during my afternoon shift .. my patient thinks her PT is too boring and she used to go on some 2-hour hikes on a regular basis so I thought I'd show her some of my strength videos and see if she likes any of them.

Hey Family,
hope everybody is doing well and staying on point!! So far so good today, got 20 min in before work and getting ready to either do CP3 or a taebo boot camp dvd I found just for something different. Leaning toward the taebo because it's probably been 2 yrs since I done it - kickboxing + strength.
My body feels a little under the weather still but I am going to just push on through - maybe the different w/o will force me to push harder. I do have one good thing to report - not one bit o honey passed my lips today ~~~ Yea me!! I got some reduced fat vanilla wafers and took a serving w/ me today so I had a litte treat to squash that taste for something sweet , probably better for me too!!
Lilangel- hang in there - you look really fit from your pix. I'm sure that one oreo indulgence isn' t going to ruin all of your hard work. Good for you getting back on track. I just love Abjam!! Especially the floor sequence - killer!
Ghanie- Your transformation pix are really looking great (as well as the new one w/ DH) keep up the great work. Soon I'll be checking out CE w/ the rest of you guys - seems to really be working for you
Casey - I watched Biggest Loser last night too!! (DVR is such a wonderful thing). It always motivates me as well, their trainers push them so hard!! You amaze me with the amount of time you're able to devote to your w/os - what an inspiration!
Hey Fitzfour - your days sound like mine:noway: Hang in there and remember to take care of you!
Drevans- So gald to see you're bacK!!!!!! We've missed you!!! Keep working hard!!

Hey,anyone seen Megan????

It's off to sweat for me - maybe I can sweat this crud out of my system or whatever's got me dragging:laugh:

Have a great nite ladies ,
Janet

Hi! I haven't been posting much but still working out. I restarted CE last night because I was finally able to talk my husband into doing the program with me. So...pretty much doing BURN for the second month in a row.

Hope all are well! I still have to catch up on posts.

Happy Thursday Everyone,
Still pushing thru this crud- yuk!! alternating between chills and just enough of a fever to let me know it's there. I did the Taebo Boot camp last night and it kicked my ___!! I used bands from a Tony Horton TMT set I have and it was way more difficult than I imagined. Similar to TJ in many ways but not as much plain ole fun!! They count all their reps out and then trick you.. and like add 2-3 more sets!!
My glutes are screamin!! Got in 20min and the floor part of abjam before work, not sure what's on for later but something for sure.

I agree with Casey.. Lets all keep our heads up ; this too shall pass!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Gotta run, will check in later,
Janet

Good evening ladies! I am feeling MUCH better today! And not so down on myself I had a full day at work, but it's now my weekend!!!! I am thrilled! Needless to say I completed Push3 and even went for a half hour run! I am proud and feel really pumped (especially after my rough week and relapse with oreos:laugh: ) Anyways, I plan to get up early all weekend and do my longer runs...my goal is to jog more/walk less until finally I can jog the whole thing..I've been doing pretty good increasing slowly
I hope you all had a great Thursday as well! I can't wait to hear all your successes!
Casey-Have fun on your cruise, I certainly hope you get better soon girlie!
Drevansmom-Great job with the jogs everyday! It will be my goal for the weekend to get my butt out bed in the AM and go daily too!
Spiralgirl- I hope you enjoy CE! I know I am!!!
Janet-I hope you feel better too! I (cross my fingers) have not been sick in AWHILE and do not intend to! :laugh:
Erika-It sounds like EVERYONE is getting sick! Oh no!!! Man girls-I hope you ALL feel better! Just remember: keep your germs to yourselves thanks--:laugh:
Have a good night everyone! I will check in tomorrow after my AM run!!

Happy Friday! Just a quick checkin...no workout this AM, my 2 little boys woke up at 5am both coughing like crazy, so had to take care of them. Maybe tonight when we get to my Mom and Dad's house I can get my workout in...we'll see!

Hope you all have a great Friday!
