I think there are a lot of ways to eat healthy and keep costs down. Here are a few ideas. 1. Truly plan out your meals for the week and shop. If possible, use the same ingredient in more then 1 meal, so you can use it all (like chicken). 2. If you make a salad, and only use 1/2 a tomato for example. Chop the ingredients…

Today is day 5! I was starving yesterday, but I did more workouts then recommended. So, today I added in a little extra oatmeal to my morning. Otherwise feeling good. Very sore though from my workouts this week!

I love my Shakeology. I think my husband is even more addicted to it then I am. He refuses to leave the house without it. He is an HVAC mechanic so exposed to a lot of “stuff and germs” with what he cleans and where he goes. He is NEVER sick and he swears its since he started drinking Shakeology. MANY healthy “diets” I…

I was about 125, and about 130 is my goal! :-)

ok, my day so far. Breakfast was a bare waffle (ok 2) whole wheat. Not normal at all! I just had a craving. But, nothing on it. Snack was a raw bar. Yum! Hmm, gotta think of lunch. My workout today was Extreme Abs from Chalean Extreme. They will feel that today. And, proud of myself. Last night I said no to hubby and…

Hi Key! I'm sorry, did I catch your name? (I'm Heather) Zumba is so fun! I should take a class next week! Thanks for the reminder. And, breakfast looks good. I'd slowly transition from 2%-->1% ---> skim to get results faster. Milk can cause bloating. And we don't want that! YEah for being under your goals for yesterday!…

Nice to finally meet you Lindsey! Can't wait to hear how you did today.

Hi Grrl How you doing today? Are you seeing results? It's not just about reducing calories, it's really learning how to eat better. Making smart choices. Some examples 1. Drink lots of water throughout the day 2. Eat 5 smaller meals a day 3. Make sure to have a balanced meal, I personally like a little higher protein and…

My day so far Got my workout in- Chalean Extreme, burn it off. Need to take my dog out now, so may go for a mile run too. Diet, so far clean, but I should have eaten a better, more fulling breakfast. Lunch is up, so not sure what I am going to do! Last night, dinner was a chicken bruschetta with string beans. So good, even…

Lins Gosh, we really need to share names if you want to of course. I think gluten free will make you feel better! It rids a lot of the bad carbs. I bet if you started to incorporate that into family meals, they wouldn't notice. You can still get a lot of stuff, just watch the package to say gluten free! But, I'm also…

Awesome Tammie One step at a time right!

Hi keyar… Awesome goals! I know you can do it. What are your workouts for the week? Share here so we can keep you accountable! What did you do today? Heather

Hi Lins ok, if McD's is your only choice at lunch, definitely plan to pack lunches. Maybe make them the night before. I'm a runner, so if you have any questions, please ask! I want to run Marine Corp this year. I post tips on my blog, so stop by, http://www.MyFitnessTime.com. You can do it. One step at a time. When are you…

Tammie, Love your goals! Yours sound so much like mine. I'm trying to eat more raw and gluten free. Maybe we can share recipes… How did you do today?

Hi tammie! So glad your joining me! I love support and company! Because I really want to clean up my diet and get results! Heather

Today's Results so far. 1. Got my workout in- Turbo Fire, Core 20. Ok, I did manage a small run, but it was only a mile w/ my dog but I need to do at least 3-4 today. Maybe I can go later. 2. I did not do well with breakfast and my morning snack, skipped them. Lunch was a perfect spinach salad with tomatoes, a few pecans…

I'll start! My name is Heather! I work from home and only talk to my dog all day! So, make it a point to get out the house to actually talk to people. My weekly goals: 1. I am trying to go more raw/gluten free for all meals before dinner. 2. I am trying to eat the recommended 5x a day. No more skipping meals. 3. I want to…

oh, I am mid 30's, weighed about 145 when I started and am 5'7, started at a size 12. If that helps.

Hi! I did a round of P90X and I followed a 1600 calorie diet. I personally found that 1800 was a little to much for me to lose the weight. I got really great results! I just made sure to eat 5x a day, protein at all meals, and limited carbs. I have other tips too, but if you want them message me. Here are my before/after…

Personally I would not be able to live with myself if I was buying unhealthy foods to make people fat. That is so mean and nasty in a country where the obesity rate is a national crisis that is costing ALL of us money on health care. Plus, you want to be a part of the company ownership one day. That means YOU will inherit…

Ok, I'm back! I'm focused. And, yes I am restarting today. Why? Well, after a weekend of sailing and reflecting I determined last week I did my workouts, half away. I was testing my ankle, but not really giving it my all. So, that said, while sailing I committed to my goals, got refocused. Yes, I am still recovering from…

Day 2 was yesterday. I was supposed to do Plyo but no way with my ankle. So, I used the day and went for a walk with my dog. I need to get moving and keep it low impact for a little while longer. Day 3 was today- arms, shoulders! It wasn't too bad. I did all the moves with some impact. I did feel it, but not to bad. (have…

Amanda Good for you for knowing not to go to hard! :-) This will be my first marathon training with P90X. I'm looking forward to the challenge. I love Chalean Extreme as my normal workout with training. Short and to the point. I love hitting the 13 mile mark. Then on those days were you cut back, you go - honey, I'm going…

Hi, I'm new here! I'm in! Day 1 in the books. At least almost. I have to do ABX yet! I am doing the classic version and I am MODIFYING a lot. I have a sprained ankle I am trying to recover so I can get back into training for the Marine Corp. Marathon! Any runners and P90X'ers in the house? How did you do today? Have to…

Ok, Day 1 in the books. I really had to modify for my ankle. warm ups were all low impact. All pushups from knees. But, it was still hard! I still sweated! And I will still be sore! I will still feel it tomorrow. And, yes, even modified, my ankle is feeling it! Ok, time for a little recovery drink. And, ABX will be up…

Hi Lbj, I'll stop by and check it out. thanks Heather

Amanda I hope you join me! I am taking a break from running to let my ankle recover. But will be getting back into that soon, hopefully! I'd love a running partner to push me during my longer miles! I'm doing P90X for the cross training. Have you tried P90X? It's a great program. I will modify it for running when I get…

I agree, keep going! Here are a few other tips. 1 STRETCH! Really focus on stretching before/after a workout as needed. And if sore, maybe throughout the day! 2 Consider training different parts of the body. I love weight training. When I do arms, the next day they can be super sore. But, if I am working on my legs then…

I just took up running in Vibram Five Fingers. This is after running a marathon and a few 1/2's. Have to say I love them! It's a slow transition, but I'm determined to get my miles up in them. Recommendation - where 5 finger socks with the shoes! :-) Go slow. Give it a try, I was so closed minded before, but now when I go…

Did 40 minutes of Shoulders and Arms, had to cut it a little early due to time. Still burned 375 calories! Ab ripper later!
