I have a stuffed teddy bear - wanna be zombie friends?

I just got home from zumba class, and according to my heart rate monitor (HRM) I burned 553 calories in 60 minutes. This is right since I know I didnt give 100% tonight (hello0000.... I did 30 minutes of belly, butt and thigh class followed by 30 minutes of TRX suspension training and then an hour of zumba. I was exhausted…

This is such a good idea! I'm doing the Disneyland Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon on the 29th and getting a Tink tattoo with my race time under would be so cool! Thanks for the idea!

Mine is hidden for now. I find that with it hidden, I log EVERYTHING I eat and enjoy logging. When I have it open, I tend to not log on my "bad days" because it gives me anxiety which leads to not logging everyday. So it has nothing to do with "being accountable" as some have said, at least not for me. It's a personal…

OMG just spit water all over my keyboard reading this. Great solution!

I'm a Zumba freak. Before the New Year I was doing classes at the gym 2x a week but during Jan and Feb, I dont even try to go. I got Zumba last year for the wii and I love it! I do the intermediate 45 minute sessions and in 50 minutes burn 500-600 calories depending on how hard I get into it. In classes, I love striving to…

Barbie - I have enjoyed being your friend on here for many months. Your support has helped me continue more than you could ever possibly know. And you know what, don't be so jealous of those "newbies" - You my friend have a long and healthy life ahead of you to look forward to. You have proved that once you put your mind…

I would def. say go to the doctor and get your knee checked out. Let them know you are interested in running and just want to make sure everything is okay. DEMAND an MRI. 2 years ago I tore my ACL during a kick boxing class. Kaiser tried to tell me it was just a sprain and tried to send me away. I demanded an MRI and…

I would have dumped the coat and jumped in the puddles :-)

You are amazing!

A woman I go to the gym with was doing Yoga and Kickboxing up until the week she had the baby. She wore a heartrate monitor and stayed within the limits the doctor set for her. She was amazing.

You look amazing! Great work and dedication!

Great work! You look fantastic and you must feel even better! Congrats!

Who had the kids last weekend for the FIRST weekend of October? I classify my weekends as Saturday and Sunday, therefore, the 1st weekend of October would have been the 1st and the 2nd. Super appreciative of the fact that my parents didn't do the "switch" schedule and that my mom just had us. This stuff is confusing.

Is there a cardio tracker? Id use that or running since she gets your heartrate up and going the whole time.

:ohwell: Sorry Tracy, I dont know what Endomondo is

Think long run - what she is putting into her body may not be showing on the outside as weight gain right now but she is poisioning her body with all that crap. You're healthy eating and lifestyle will take your health so much further than just a number on the scale. Keep on pushing and doing what you are doing and don't…

Is there an entry fee? If there is, is the savings of $30 really worth it?

Thanks! My boyfriend and i have been looking for something like this - can't wait to make it and use it! :drinker:

OHHH this sounds amazing if wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla or pita! YUM! THANKS!

MMM - putting southwest omelet on my breakfast menu for SURE! Thanks!

I could, but I am bored with our typical meals and want to try out some new meals :-)

I always forget about the hungry girl website! Thanks! I'll go search through there :-)

While I havent tried the DVDS I do own Zumba for the WII. I have heard that the DVDs are boring and not true to the class atmosphere. I get a great workout for it on my WII and find it to be equal to the classes that I also attend on a regular basis.

I am where you are. I was sick with sinus infection, bronchitis and an ear infection since about the same time as you, Mid May. I am just starting to get back into things and find myself in the place you are. Your body has been ill and needs to get back into the grove of things. Dont push it too hard or youll get sick…

Congrats! You look amazing! I bet you feel even better than you look! :-)

I painted my home gym BRIGHT yellow :-) I read somewhere to make it a color that makes you excited and happy because then you'll want to be in the room. I LOVE IT!

I had a complete ACL reconstruction knee surgery in 2009 and was out of commission for about 10-11 months. My only advice to you is really watch what you eat, keep counting calories and watch your portion control. It's really the only thing you can control since you can't work out. You'll have good days and you'll have bad…

Lol this is the 2nd or 3rd post I read today about Zombie chasing. Love it :-)

WTG! I love C25K - it's simply amazing. Congrats on your HUGE accomplishment and keep pushing yourself! Cant wait to hear about your 5k in July! Melissa
