My husband is currently deployed, so I am basically a single mom (16 years old and a 10 year old), so let me tell you what I do and I hope that some of it helps! First...I am not consistent with tracking my food...but am getting better. I have been doing research/reading books on "how" to eat---eating for life by Bill…

all I can say is GREAT JOB on not caving! It takes a strong person to say to no to treats. Stay Strong...you can do it! and, like you said, if you did have a treat, it wouldn't be a big deal, just remember tomorrow is another day! :smile:

I too am not feeling it this week! I don't know if it is because the videos are repetitive or what but I really do not want to keep going with this system. I am 2 days behind, I did a zumba class on thursday instead of day 3 and then walked about 3 miles on Friday instead of day 4. I know strength training is important as…

I usually take my protein shake to work, so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to take a smoothie. Do you have a fridge at work that you could store it in? Either way,i have seen shaker bottles/water bottles that have a center core that you freeze, so that would keep it cold without watering it down if you don't have a…

First off---SpaceEF--congrats! Secondly, did workout 3 today. I am glad I worked out--I was not motivated to workout at all, but again, I am glad i did it. However, I was unable to fully complete all of the exercises. Most I did, but the push ups and plank ones, I just could not do. I know that eventually I will get there…

I only have cardio 1 left to do tomorrow and I will have finished weeks 1 and 2! I am excited to move on to 3 and 4 and nervous at the same time. I am feeling stronger, hope everyone else is too! Keep up the great work everyone!

Finished workout 2 today. Decided to come home from work/errands and change right into my workout clothes in order to have no excuse not to work out. I did both yesterday's and today's workout with heavier weights, really paying attention to "squeezing my butt" as she says! I still have a cough which has produced one heck…

I am doing 2 weeks of each as described in the fitness plan. I did not do the jumpstart which added cardio every night. I also am not following the diet plan. I do not think there is a reason that you can't skip the 2nd week and only do 1 week of the first 2 workouts, but the only side effect I can think of is the…

I have decided that I'm not going to weigh in/measureagain until the start of Phase 2. I am the type who if I don't see results I will get discouraged and stop pushing so hard. This time around I am going to focus on how my clothes fit, my increase in energy, and then the body fat %. I am not going to focus on the weight,…

I am right there with you...didn't do day 6 due to a head cold (I did work out that day, just not Jillian tough!). I am also going to buy heavier weights today (yikes!) Workout schedule for me will be a little different depending on the day, decided not to get up early everyday as the fatigue is what contributed to the…

well, this head cold has kicked my butt. I feel like I need to make this my rest day and then do Cardio 1 tomorrow instead of today and then start week 2 on Monday like planned. I just cannot get the headache/sniffling/coughing to go away, have absolutely no energy. I even took a 2 hour nap and that didn't help. knowing I…

Day 5 was little rough because I have a head cold so the up and down was interesting. Haven't done day 6 yet, will do that this afternoon. Might need to rethink when I work out. Getting up early was ok, but I have been exhausted in the evenings. In fact I think that contributed to my cold. Will definitely keep working out,…

I downloaded the app for my iPod. It works great. Thanks for sharing.

There is a group that started on October 1st if you want to join that. It is called body revolution ( Jillian Michaels). Finished Workout 2 this morning. Hasn't been too bad yet! findleyn

Finished day 2 workout 2 this morning. My muscles tightened up over the evening/night yesterday so in a bit of pain, but the good kind :)

Woke up early today and did workout 1. Not too bad. Liked the fact that she kept calling out Omar, especially since it made me laugh (I work with an Omar) and it got my mind off of the actual exercising Haven't logged it yet, but will probably log so that it says about 200 calories burned...would rather underestimate than…

Starting stats: 5'7" 171 lbs 41.1% body fat 26.9 BMI Main goal is to lose 30 pounds overall (not in the 90 days, but by this time next year) and to lower my body fat % and BMI to a healthy level.. My main fear is not following through. I am the type of person where the number means everything and if I don't see results I…

I'm in! My biggest fear is that life/stress will get in the way and I will fall off the workout train. We are starting a fitness challenge at my work, so this works out great to help with accountability as well. My plan is to get up early and work out in the mornings followed by a protein shake for breakfast. I do need to…
