  • @TamiJo1004 - I love how you are getting everyone's names on that sign......so cool! Vowder.......don't leave us now! :D
  • Hi Ladies - I hope your weekend has been a great one. Today is my last day of freedom with Spring Break. My kids are playing really well right now (my boys are playing school with my daughter and teaching her school stuff). Normally they fight like crazy, so this is AWESOME! On Friday, I was a little sore from doing the…
  • All right.......last day! Let's do this! I have maxed out my exercise minutes, but I still need to workout today. Only a few folks left to finish the challenges for the week - we can do this! I will probably be checking the spreadsheet every hour to see how things are looking. :D Have a great day!
  • Hey Ladies - I have been enjoying spring break with the kids and am off the rotation (again). On Tuesday, my workout was swimming with the kids for 2 hours. Yesterday, we walked the zoo for about 4 hours. Today, I decided to kick my own tush and try to get back on the rotation. Since I missed so many upper body workouts, I…
  • @120maggie - no.....you aren't the only one. I have really enjoyed this challenge and reading ya'lls posts. This team is funny, motivating, and a great group of gals and one dude.
  • I am glad you are at peace with the decision. That helps with moving on.....no regrets. :'( I love the new profile pic you have up.....Tameka (spelling?) was beautiful. And the yes, other teams holding back minutes doesn't scare us. Let's do this!
  • I think I might be making lasagna either tonight or tomorrow. That does sound wonderful, and I can hide all kinds of veggies in it for my kids to eat. Great job everyone with your workouts and conquering these challenges. I am trying to max out my workout minutes for the week. My previous 2 weeks have been pitiful (for…
  • CHALLENGE #2 from Week 2: “RANDONNEE ON RÉUNION!” I walked at the zoo today for over 5 miles. I chose this challenge because it is Spring Break for me and the kids, and we have been spending a lot of time outside. It's been nice (91 degrees today).
  • Are you consistently staying on the low end of calorie intake? For example, if you are eating at 1200 calories to lose weight (mine is set at 1800 calories.......I am on the lose slowly plan, not 2 lbs per week), then your body may need a "shock" to it. I find that when I eat low calories for quite awhile, my body starts…
  • CHALLENGE #3 I ate five green vegetables tonight. They were bell pepper, lettuce, spinach, broccoli and cucumber. I made a taco salad (minus the chips and shell) with turkey meat and mushrooms. I really needed this healthy challenge (I've eaten really crappy these past few days and feel blah from it).
  • Hi ladies - I think I will be sleeping very well tonight. I went a little crazy with my working out today (it is SO nice not having to work and having the kids at gma and gpa's house). Today, I started off with the Bikram express class, came home and walked the dogs. Then, this afternoon, I did a 30 minute kickboxing video…
  • Great job everyone! Ireland is #1 one my list of places to visit, so I am really excited to watch all the videos from the challenge this week telling us about Ireland.

  • CHALLENGE #1: “MUAY THAI ANYONE?” from week 4 I completed the 30 minute kick boxing video. I chose this as my challenge because I really enjoy kickboxing on my cardio days.
  • Hey team - I hope to get 200+ minutes of working out today. My kids are leaving at noon, my honey will be sleeping, so I have the entire house to myself to just have fun! So.....my fun is choosing to workout (weird, eh?). If I overlooked anyone - so sorry! @cardbucfan - I hope your knee is feeling better. Welcome home. I…
  • Happy Sunday Ladies - I hope your weekend has been going well. I am a little behind on the rotation, but I will be catching up today. Friday was dedicated to doing some workouts for other challenges that I am in (a few Darebee ones, one yoga video (incredibly boring), and lots of burpees). They provided a nice sweat, but…
  • Oh, lady.....you so motivated me. I am part of the 100% club! WOOOHOOO!
  • I wanna be on the 100% list! Ok.......I will start the yoga video now.....thanks for the push @hawkins410 . :)
  • CHALLENGE #3 I chose to cook with ginger. I love ginger. I love eating it with sushi, chicken, tea, etc. I had Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was so good with the ginger flavoring.
  • Good morning ladies - Next week is spring break, and I can't wait. I did get the yoga class in on Tuesday, and yesterday was disk 4 (shoulders, biceps and chest). I was supposed to do legs today, but I chose to sleep in. Today I will get yoga done at lunch and will get the leg workout in tonight when DH goes to work.…
  • I did the 1st challenge, the 2nd video, and couldn't stop laughing at myself. I used to be able to dance somewhat like the lady in the video. But, now I am "older" and I kept saying "oooohhh....that twist doesn't feel right on my knee" or "ow......my back doesn't like that one". Geesh! It was a fun dance video, but man I…
  • @cardbucfan - oh no! I am so sorry to read that you may have injured your knee. Please be careful on it. Everyone's recipes sound SO good this far. I am thinking of making Chicken Tikka Masala - it has fresh ginger in it and is REALLY good. But, I may have to try some of the items a few of you mentioned. Yum! I hope ya'll…
  • Good morning ladies - just a quick note to say "yes.....I am here!" :) Yesterday, I got back on the rotation and did STS disk 2 and today was disk 3. I will also get a yoga class in today. Cardio is still hard on my lungs, but man it feels great to be lifting again. The leg workout today really pushed my lungs (my strength…
  • Tomorrow is a new day and here is to a new healthier week. The bonus of being sick is the voice.......my honey finds it incredibly sexy..........Jessica Rabbit type of voice (or batman........whatever). ;)
  • Hey team.....I am so sorry for my crappy workout minutes this week. I am trying to do more, but my lungs are screaming "no!". I am still tired and feeling a little weak. I will try to get more in tomorrow, but it may not be much. I am praying that next week is better. I can't believe some of you gave up coffee! Good for…
  • Challenge #3 I chose to give up chips for the week (I am giving up chips for Lent, too.....so I have a long time of not being able to eat them!). I don't need these fried food goodies in me when there are other healthier alternatives to chips, such as popcorn.
  • CHALLENGE #1 I chose to walk a 5k. I chose this one because I am still getting over being sick, so a 5k was within reason for my body to do. While my son was at football practice last night, I walked and enjoyed the weather outside. It was in the low 70s during practice......very nice.
  • Hey team - I am starting to feel better and was able to get yoga in yesterday along with some walking. This morning, I did the 2nd challenge fat blaster video. Lungs were burning, but it felt really good to workout again. Great job everyone on all you have done this week. @katharmonic - I am glad you are enjoying the…
  • Good morning ladies - still trying to recover - I haven't worked out since last Friday (ughhh.....I miss it). Whatever I have has really hit me hard. I got up this morning to try to do a little weight training, but I think I might wait and do yoga only today. I don't need to relapse. I will start week 3 on Monday, so I…
