Turbo Jammers 9/21-9/27

So good morning everyone! I have the Am off and so I've kept my goal to get out of bed and go run every morning this weekend! And I did it! Officially just got back:bigsmile: It is a GORGEOUS morning here in NY, not cold as it has been..not too sunny but calm and quiet. Perfect.
I am going to do Push2 before I leave to work the afternoon. I am really looking forward to being able to come home after 6, make a good dinner, and relax instead of rushing to get exercises in too
Erika-It sounds like you had a pretty rotten weekend! How scary! I hope your son (and you!) are feeling much better though, and I would say it's understandable for the situation to not get all your workouts in this weekend-but great job squeezing in what you did!
Erica-I'm so sorry for your loss:frown: I will keep all your family in my thoughts. I know how hard it can be to not let people get to you about your eating-my family likes HUGE portions of the worst things, and TONS of desserts. I am dreading Christmas Day dinners.....:grumble: I hope your family becomes more supportive though, it's not fun being made to feel guilty about the way you eat- just think of it this way, YOU feel good, YOU look good and YOU'RE happy right?. That's what matters. Unfortunately it was in conjunction with a tough time, so maybe people just needed an out for suppressed emotions-but still.
Have a happy Monday girls! I'm sure I will be checking back before I go to work

Hey Jammers! So I had to work all day, but since it's technically my "rest day" that's just fine. The weather was warm but gloomy here too-looked like rain but nothing ever happened Anyway, after work I had plans to walk with a friend I'm helping out at a local track-we walked about 1 1/2 miles at a slow pace-a good start for her! Woohoo! I just finished dinner, planning to do AbJam in a little bit. Then it's a shower and bed-the usual..lol! Such a looong day..I should sleep good
Tomorrow is Push3 and a short run after work.
It sounds like everyone is getting over their colds and things just fine! YAY- Now back to work!-Kidding, you girls are great! :laugh:
Casey-Thanks so much girl for all your help, I am still trying to get the hang of things..and thanks for the tips to help my friend also. You're such an inspiration Oh- and hope you have a blast on your vaca!
Great job ladies! Let's keep it up!:drinker:

Good evening Jammers! It was a long day at work again today-BUT thus starts my weekend! WOOHOO! I am planning another weekend of AM runs-It really was motivating to push myself, get my butt outta bed and DO IT every day!- (I hear ya'll about the covers)...:grumble: haha! It's kinda my mini goal for the weekends, and it feels good
It sounds like everyone has had some great workouts lately! I think soon enough I might have to invest in some new TJ's or different workouts to change things up. I hear alot of you talking about PKJ and such, so maybe one of those. Anybody tried Total body blast?
Ghanie- It is great you're taking some time to tap into your spiritual side as well this week-relax and enjoy:flowerforyou:
Erica-Work stress is just plain evil isn't it? My peev is feeling rushed to get home, work out and cram dinner in so I can get to bed at a decent hour...:explode:
Janet-Good job getting the workout in before work! I love my Monday half-days where I can still run in the AM -sets my mood all day..sooo nice:happy: I am pretty sad my schedule changes for October..grr
Smiley-Welcome! I hope you enjoy TJ as much as we do! Walking is always a good add-in and stress reliever- which everyone ALWAYS needs:laugh: Have fun!
I hope you all have a great Thursday PM-I'll check in tomorrow after my AM run! Peace out girlscouts!:laugh:

Hey Jammers! I actually just finished my AM run and am enjoying a nice big protein shake with PB (my breakfast got a little screwy today and I had to push my run back a little because I wanted to go with mom to a local farmers market and get some goodies:bigsmile: )I didn't actually find that much-but did get a spaghetti squash! I have a recipe that uses that in replacement for pasta so I think I will try it tomorrow and hope it turns out yummy! Anyway, it is SUPER windy here and my run suffered a little...:grumble: ..I still ran the same distance, pushing against the wind and freezing (it didn't help that I started out wearing a long sleeve and puffy vest to layer then got too hot and had to leave it swinging open..ugh, just not the best run when you're uncomfortable..:ohwell: The weather is certainly changing quick over here..yuck.
I think I'll keep the rest of the afternoon work indoors..maybe do some TJ FatBlaster and throw in a BootySculpt Depends on what I feel like-It's definitely a "curl up in blankets and lounge on the couch" kinda day..but I really hate just sitting around all day:frown:
I've decided to play with my cals again and am going to stick to around 1700 planned out so that way I can still spread some of my exercise cals through the day and not have too many at the end to use. I am going to leave the leftovers as security or just eat them if my body feels it needs a little extra. Also then I won't feel the need to do an extra workout if I've eaten too much to pick up the slack either.
I hope you all had a great morning! I'm done rambling now lol:embarassed:
Erica-Hope work went better today and some things got figured out for you!
Erika-Good job getting that run in after work! That's tough! Hope you got to this AM too!
Check back later ladies!

Hey Jammers! I trust you all had a great Sunday AM! It was raining here all morning, no run for me..boo. But I did exchange it for TJ CardioPartyMix1- I like how it's a bit longer! I am going to get my Push1 in today as well, and probably some AbJam. Also might throw in some extra abs exercises I've been wanting to try or pilates..we will see! I hope that it isn't raining tomorrow..otherwise I guess its another CardioParty for me! lol! I do like that one, but maybe should get some other longer videos to tide me over..plus as the weather gets snowy I don't intend to run on ice in a blizzard..so DVD's are going to be it. Any suggestions for longer ones?
Janet-Definitely feel the same way you do. I am still pretty new at this, and just seem to be having trouble finding a happy medium. My plan now is just to eat as clean as possible and make sure everything is in moderation. I need to learn that it is ok to just do ONE workout a day if need be..or if my body is feeling pressure. I need to stop comparing myself to others and how much they workout and just focus on what my body can do. I mean, I did lose the weight by doing only 30 min TJ everyday, so why wouldn't that be enough still? The rest is just watching what I am eating and how much. That is why I have decided to back down my calories (little under 1700 on days I know I will be exercising more, only around 1600 on weekdays, with respect to my 1460 Wednesday rest day) So far so good, I guess that way I can add a little something at the end if I want to or if my body is craving. I hear ya about the "enjoying life and not restricting so much" part..I hope others have suggestions because I feel like if say I go to a picnic I can't have dessert without feeling really guilty..I know it shouldn't be that way! I guess it is my fear of "letting myself go" again but I hate coming off so obsessive! I know that ONE piece of cake isn't going to ruin my hard work but I just beat myself up later on so I've tended to stay away from food oriented events lately..which sucks! I don't WANT to miss out because I feel guilty!:sad:
Hum..Sorry for the rant Janet! lol...I just meant you are not alone with that feeling. I've been trying to pick up tips from others and just experiment with how my body reacts..In the long run I think just eating cleaner is the key
Anyways..I am off to do Push1 and some AbJam (I really am working on flattening my abs..thats the one part of me I am not super happy with yet..:grumble: ..Anybody got suggestions? It's coming slowly and I guess alot of that has to do with diet so I guess I REALLY gotta watch my eats..UGH!:explode:
Thanks for listening all..I'm so lame:blushing:

Good Morning ladies! I am feeling a bit bummed today because I woke up to the wind howling and rain pelting my windows-major bummer to a new runner! I really was hoping to get out there this AM! :mad: Oh well, I kicked off my morning with another TJ CardioPartyMix1 and burned it up! I still have Push2 to go before I head to work for the afternoon. I am happy getting my exercises done before work coz it gives me the evening to just relax and make a more extravagant dinner:laugh: . I am planning a recipe from my newest Clean Eating Magazine- Chicken Cordon Bleu. It should be well worth it since I have the time. I have been one to make different foods at every meal but I think that it adds to my stress with my diet, so beginning next week I am going to try making more and doing leftovers:ohwell: I say starting next week because this Thursday I am going out to eat lunch at Olive Garden:huh: ..not my choice but it's a work thing I am going to with the Drs. and they go out to lunch before the meeting...sooo I have already planned out a fresh salad no dressing and minestrone soup (salty-but the best option):bigsmile: I'm kinda proud I've got it all figured out already:laugh:
I am so thankful all of you put up with my blabbing..lol I guess I just love all the support you guys give and it makes me feel good being able to talk about anything and not be judged.
Ghanie-I hope you enjoy the 4-mile walks! That's gonna be GREAT!:drinker:
Have a good rest of AM and afternoon everyone! Thanks again!
