I'm in Raleigh

Not going to skip - with 6 people to wash for that would be a horrible price to pay, but I am going to rearrange the schedule to do it in the evening and leave my am's for my workout.

No, the laundry does not need my presence but that is when I fold them and put them away. And really, I have a quick machine. A cycle is only 44 min so by the time I fold and put away - it is just about done. However, maybe moving my laundry time to the evenings and leaving my hour in the am for my exercise it the plan?…

Good luck with running! I started in February and I love it. I miss it. That is why I am trying to figure out how to get back to it.

LOL, that is why I will not run at work. The shower thing. I have my own office by I would like to be clean the remainder of the day.

thanks. I have to stop stressing and settle in.

Thank you so much for your words. I know that I am adjusting and my "no excuses attitude" of the past is what is making me beat myself up. But a lot like when you are overweight, once you beat yourself up it can start a bad cycle. That is where I am. I know all the stuff in the post. Schedule your time, you just have to do…

Good luck. Mine is this weekend too - in Williamsburg, VA

I know it seems incredible to say, but I get up early to fit my exercise in. I take my kids to school and we have to leave the house by 7:15. So, I just have to get up super early and have my time. I also go to bed early. Knowing that teachers don't get much of a lunch break and that your free periods are spent in prep,…

Congrats!! You look great!! Hope to be where you are this time next year!!

Give it time and make sure you are eating enough. Even with exercise, your body will throw itself in starvation mode if you don't eat enough with what you are doing. There are days i have to eat my exercise cals because my body is doing the same thing. Hang in there and don't give up. Remember this is a process. If you…

Hey everyone. I have been away for awhile due to some personal events. I am back and hoping to stay with it. I had to stop Shred for a minute but am up to D6L2. I rally hope that I can get a workout in tonight. The problem is time. I have to get it in at night and with three kids and homework and bedtime routines that can…

ok, so I completed D4L1 last night - before midnight. Lil gil went down at 9:30 so I did 45 on the treadclimber and then shred. If I can make it thru C1 I can do the whole thing. but i promise you - the push up are my enemy. I can almost do the entire first set but after the squat press I can barely do the second set. My…

that it so awesome!! kickboxing is hard work. is your Zumba a tape or class?

fitness magazine just rated 6/6 as one of its top 10 workout dvd's. Bob's video was on that list too. Congrats and good luck!!! But your not leaving us are you?????

D3L1 done. It was a little easier today. I did turn the volume down on the video and play my own music - just have to pay attention to timing. what is causing me the most pain is my shoulders. They are the weakest. It is why I cannot make it thru the first circuit. The second set of push up's is almost impossible.…

I just want to say "welcome" to those who are new to the thread. Noticed some new names and thought I would say - you were noticed. So, this cold is kicking my butt!!! However, I still plan to keep going with this. Today is a C25k training day so I am not sure if I am going to do shred tonight. My run in in 20min so if I…

D2L1 complete - before midnight! I really do have to modify the cardio. My knee is "sensitive" and all the jumping hurts. Otherwise, it was good. But I still had dvd issues tonight. ARRRRGH!!!! finally started working but I lost a good 12min messing with the player. I will say that on Friday I have to get 3 or five pound…

I have the mio and was looking at getting the forerunner. mio is annoying me too.

this is just my opinion, but you might want to try sticking to just one and seeing it through. find one that does want you want - burn, sweat, challenge- and see what 30 days does for you. videos are hard because they are so different. not enough challenge, too much challenge, too long, too short - annoying leader....lol.…

Take a break. From all my reading, your body is saying "too much, too fast" and needs a break. Sundays are my rest days but I did Shred tonight. did not think i would make it. The dvd player and remote would not work. My husband had to look up the manual online to fix it. I actually worked out Monday because I did not…

I am starting D1L1 today. I wanted to do it before I went to a birthday party with my son so I would stay focus at the party, remembering what I had just done. But hubby not home yet and I need to leave in an hour. (Could still do 20min, shower and dress but someone has to sit with kids.) You all have me motivated and a…

lol....problem is i LOVE peanut butter. have to find a way to eat and not get addicted again. LOL. But that is good to know. Was thinking I might need to lower my beginning budget to help - especially since by adding Shred I will be exercising everyday.

When I get to 175 I am going to do Rip60. P90X is super intense - have a bunch of friends who have done it. Jillian has a workout DVD in the Rip60 program so I am looking forward to get there for that.

I am not a real big morning person either but I am going to try to do this as my wake up routine (5:15am). I am a SAHM and I take my daughter to the gym with me, she has her own kids class, so I will do my workout/training in late am. At least till the weather gets nice and my running is better. Then I will switch to night…

OK, so I saw this thread yesterday and got inspired. Going to start on Sunday. I previewed it last night. After reading post here I have decided I will do beginners moves this round and go back again and do advanced moves. So i will keep checking in. Sunday, ***hard swollow***, i will post weight and measurements. But here…

I got mine from Target. I will start with you all.
