i find that i can raise energy for an intention when i am excercising, in fact good point and i should do it more often! yoga is always a spiritual practice for me.

awesomeness! you are doing great! I just started doing level 3 and will be doing it for the forseeable future. I am holding off on the wieght and measurements until I can -ahem- catch up after turkey day. the turkey day indulgence was not the problem, but it was a problem that i indulged a couple times since then . i find…

I have a nice booty. and i know all about the butt men because they like me. =) there is a man for every gal. don't sweat it, just be your self!

HA ha ha ha! love it!

just did level 3 yesterday. it was insane. insane. insane. i thought 1 and 2 were pretty easy actually but there was a lot of stuff i had to make easier in this one. phew!

Yes, on the shaking up the metabolism. that is why i feel it is ok to treat once a week. i eat EXTREMELY healthy all the time... nothing processed, all organic, etc. so even the treat days are healthy, just more of the fatty stuff than I would normally do. I am trying to make sure it stays to once a week or less…

i hate the chair squats with the v raises. i can do all of them but it HURTS!!! i will move onto level 3 soon, but i like feeling like i have mastered level 2 first. =) good work ladies!

thanks for the great ideas! I live about 25 minutes out of town so I do a "town day" with errands. Have to eat out that day, because I would starve otherwise! A lot of it is just about thinking it through ahead of time. THanks! =)

been doing it 2-3 weeks, its great esp abs. showing a real improvement. =)

Cool! I am still on level 2 but gonna go to level 3 soon. I feel like I kind of plateaud in terms of how I am looking/feeling physically but that may be because i felt like I was getting sick and took an extra break day last week. So I am going to keep going and then see how I feel. But thanks for the idea of adding…

Hey, don't put too much power into the weight and measurements. Mine are not changing that much but I look and feel really different, and that is what really counts. =) see my comment on the latest post.

I feel fine about waiting a few more days for level 3. most of level 2 is fine for me, but the plank jacks are hard, and why not master it before moving on. In terms of losing weight, i am holding steady at 161.5. I am not worried about that, because I have always had a lot of muscle. I am finding now that I can really see…

i love the walking pushups. plank jacks kinda suck though. its the one where you jump forward and back in plank that is hardest for me. loving it, totally seeing results, really happy with it! =) still gotta do it today... having a mellow sunday. keep on truckin' everyone! =)

I am also using youtube. decided to buy my own copy- will probably order from amazon-because my computer is old/slow and it sucks to have it sieze up in the middle of the workout since you are not supposed to take a break! I am on day 3 i think of level 2. love it. already feels waayyy easier than day 1. amazing. and…

YEAh! glad there is a fellow yoga lover here! =)

did it! definitely a challenge but do-able. i actually like the pushup variation. call me crazy. =P

well, it does not do your lost cat any good for you to not take care of yourself! maybe dedicate your workouts- the energy generated- to your cat's moving into the next realm with ease and grace, saying goodbye, etc. the energy we create when working out can fuel intentions quite nicely. <3

I am having an urge to try level two. so i am going to, though a bit scared of it. i am telling myself if it is too hard i can go back to level one. and, yesterday was my break day. no excercise and definitely went over on the calories. didn't bother to finish out the day on mfp. gotta do that everyonce in a while.

down one pound and 1" on the waist. =)

i'm aralia... serious practicing pagan. happy samhain and full moon. it's a busy week! more soon. <3

today was a cardio day. i only got in 30 minutes because i went to hike up the mountain (8,000 ft altitude) and it was COLD! and i wasn't prepared- no hat, my ears were freezing. brrrrr! but i did get in half an hour... and, i weighed myself this morning and I was 6# MORE than last week!!!!! arg, but also when i was in…

deciding whether to take a rest today... the 1.5 hour mountain hike really pooped me out after 3 days of shredding! will look at the shred recomendations someone posted from Jillian and decide... i can feel the changes in my body, feeling stronger. =)

electricity went out today so it was my rest day! (i've been streaming it online and no internet). but i went on an 1.5 hour hike, half of it up a mountain, and did yoga. ha ha, does that count as rest? =)

took a hot bath last night and not too sore today. i have this magnesium oil that comes in a spray bottle, when i have sore muscles it works wonders. put some on sore places this morning and did the workout and i feel great today. i was worried about starting to do this because i had tweaked my back about a month ago and…

10/21 Arms- 13", legs,- 22.5", waist,- 35.5", hips, 40.5". I'm really happy to be doing this. Since I started myfitnesspal I lost about 10 pounds, but then I hit a wall and just have been yo-yoing within about 5 pounds of the same weight for about a month. I look a lot better, and feel better too but I really want to lose…

Just started today, will do measurements. thrilled!

I just finished my first session a few minutes ago!!

i'm interested in trying this... how do you log this in?

i use a little mini loofa on my face. it works wonders. =)

i've been having that problem. i think i just need to adjust food. i made a "vegan raw spinach keish" this week. Only problem? a main ingredient is cashews so I had to cut my helpings in half... so, for me i think it means shifting how i am planning the food. also helped a friend clean house for 5 hrs today plus half hour…
