How is everyone doing!??? I did shred this morning but I never got it done yesterday. In some ways it was easier than before but I also was able to do the jumping jacks today. Leg is a little sore but noting bad. So I worked out a little harder than I had been and my muscles are feeling it today! lol Jenn....you have been…

I did it again this morning! It was a little easier today but I have got to say I hurt more today. That could be from the 100 springs on the trampoline last night though! lol Ladykrashy - I completely understand about not liking to be watched when I am working out. But it only bothers me at home. When I am taking a class…

I know what you mean about the bringing the weights up to eye level! That is even towards the end of the workout and my arms are screaming by then! lol My arms didn't hurt as bad today as they did the last time I did them though. What killed me tonight is putting up our trampoline in the back yard! Pulling all those…

Darn it I did not do the workout last night. The gang was watching a movie and I couldn't just tell them to get out. But I felt so guilty that I managed to get up at 5 this morning and do my workout! WOOHOO!! My leg felt pretty good this morning but I just didn't think I should push it so what I did was jog in place and…

O.k. I have an admission to make.....I did not do the shred again today. I did not wake up before everyone else and once they are up it is so hard to find a space to work out. Then we went to church, grocery shopping and I took a 2 hr nap! lol I know how bad that sounds! I can find time for a nap but not to work out! My…

Maddibabe!!! How exciting! Congratulations! Were you expecting that? Details! Details! Sanifrey...good for you! I am so glad that this thread had such an impact! Wow...I hope it continues to be. To everyone else....you guys are AWSOME! I can hardly believe the turnout for this. I am so excited! I did not work out too hard…

I have been giving my clothes away the whole time. As soon as they are a little to big to look good...they are gone. That way I can't say...oh I feel fat today and start wearing them again. That makes it easy for the pounds to pack on again without noticing. I also don't wear sweatpants hardly at all because it is easy to…

You will be able to rebound much more quickly than you think. You know how and you will do great! Congrats on your little bundle! Love the name!

OK so who is in and what are some group name suggestions?

Well I did not do the shred this morning, hopefully by this evening I will feel my hamstring can handle it. I think I overcompensated on the hamstring and gave my calf muscle on that leg a bad workout. I have never had such a hard knot in my calf...I can barely move! Rubbed Aspercream on it last night, did ice/heat packs.…

Woohoo...a 16 yr old thinks it is tough...gotta love that! Oh I know I could up my cardio effort! lol Between being gentle on the hamstring and not wanting my nick naks to fall off the entertainment center....Ya...I did not put as much effort out there but I really pushed myself during the weights. I have been thinking of…

k...wanna hear something funny...this is the reverse! When I was about 12 my sister took me on the roller coaster for the first time ever...I am very short and at 12...not even 100lbs. I lifted out of my seat and almost flew out of the ride! No one could get me back on for years. I was much larger around the next time and…

Legs lifts straight out to the side of your body. Do at least 20 and don't put your leg to the floor between lifts. You will feel it!

o.k. So I did it for the first time this morning and I admit it was much harder than I expected. I am used to squats and kickboxing so my legs are fine other than the hamstring I injured last week isn't liking me much. My ARMS on the other hand....WOW they have felt like noodles all day long! lol For the most part I was…
-
Hmmmm I think I am even more curious now! lol I did not start the shred today, had to drive 300 miles to pick up my son...way too tired after that. Plus I pulled my hamstring a few days ago and am trying to be easy on it for a few more days. I will probably start it on Monday and I don't think I will be able to manage it…

Since you are doing this together, suggest you both go in for a check up together too, blood work and the whole deal. Talk to the doctor ahead of time and tell him your concerns and have the doctor stress how important a balanced diet is to your husband. Maybe he will listen to the doctor. Or have a trainer meet you at the…

It's funny how this works isn't it. I often find myself laying in bed in the morning and thinking to myself, I feel really fat, I bet the scale is up today. Then I jump on the scale and all be darned if it isn't less or at least the same. I think we gradually get used to being this new shape but it still doesn't feel the…

I was a gymnast and ice skater for most of my youth. Leg muscle mass....oh man! I took a kick boxing class, 2 nights a week that was 60 min and it has really slimmed my legs down. I also noticed the little fat blob at the top inner thigh...is getting smaller. I am trying to lose weight but have only lost 9 lbs since May so…

First off...I am so impressed with you! You can't move, you have kids and the pain has to be terrible and you are wondering how to strengthen you upper body to get around better. I would be whinning to no end! I am sorry you have to deal with that. I don't have any other advice for you but just wanted to say ...wow and I…

Spinach! Right after my monthly I am always low on iron and I am soooooo tired. I eat cooked spinach, collard greens and mustard greens for a day or two and I am right back to normal. It is a great source of iron! Dark green veggies...broccoli too!

Thanks everyone. My friend had no medical reason for her opinion. She just thought that for my age, I look fine. I did tell her...you haven't seen me naked! lol I do think another 20 lbs is ideal but I also think that when I get to a weight/place I feel good, I will stop and just maintain. My main goal was to be healthy,…

When my kids were little, I taught them how to jump rope, jump on the trampoline and do tricks, I had running races with them, went to the pool. Lots of things you can do with the older one while the baby naps will get you moving. Get crative. Teach him how to do somersaults! Push him on the swing...upper arm workout. Lift…
-
I don't like them either. I eat broccoli, spinach, zuchinni and asparagus....well and salad I like but that is my entire veggie plate! I don't consider onion as a veggie but I do eat a lot of those. I have heard there are books out there that help you get veggies into your kids by disguising them in other foods...maybe we…

A very good friend of mine, who is a guy, told me that his father gave him the best piece of advice he ever recieved when deciding who to approach in any setting, no matter what you look like. He said his dad told him to find the prettiest girl in the crowd and go straight up to her, more than likely she is the loneliest…

I do have a little gem that I found about a year ago. There is a store not too far from me that sells the stuff the regular stores could not. Like a new product that didn't go over really well or the cans that get a dent or boxes that get cut a bit when they are openeing the packagine box. I can get all kinds of great…

I don't have cable, I check out movies from the Library. I don't have a cell phone, only a home phone. I do have dial up internet at home. We go out to eat maybe once every six months. We buy all of our clothes at the thrift store. Trust me, there is not a dime to squeeze from anywhere. When you have to buy less expensive…

It does cost more because a whole skinless chicken breast is $4.29 per lb and leg quarters are on sale for $0.66 per lb. A bag of regular spaghetti noodles is $1.25, whole wheat are $1.85. A can of peaches is $1.18 and a lb of fresh peaches is $2.99. So yes, it is more expensive to eat healthy. When you are on a strict…

So don't exercise. Put your Parrot on your shoulder, put some awsome music on and dance in a silly crazy fast all over the room dance! Do it for 10 min. every day. Now you have moved your body, burned calories, played with your parrot and dare I say it....EXERCISED! It does not need to be like PE class. Read your…
