Happy Friday Ladies! It's been a looooooong week for sure!! Way to go vrdz on your pound lost!!! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou: Checking in for yesterday..... I did really good with food and stayed under my calories for the day. It seems to be getting easier as they days go on. I worked late last night and was super…

Good morning ladies! Happy Thursday and it's almost the weekend! Woo hoo!! :drinker: Checking in for yesterday.... Went over my calories a little but I was super hungry and needed more food...probably from all the hard workouts this week. My fiance and I replicated a Chipotle bol and made our homemade version last…

:Good morning ladies! Hopefully it's warmer where you are, like it is in TX! We actually might see 60 today..woo hoo!!! Sorry vrdz for your mishap this morning...don't you hate it when it gets the best of you so early! Great job Choco on resisting the yummyness at Cheesecake Factory. I don't think I would have had as much…

Happy Birthday Choco!! Sounds like your livin it up and finally got that sauna and shake you've been wanting!! Hope you enjoy your day & your weekend...sounds fun!!! Checking in for yesterday and a little venting to add.... Did well yesterday on eating and stayed within my calories for the day. On Sunday, I made my version…

Choco- It does seem we do the same videos a lot. I jumped on the Jillian bandwagon when a friend bought 30 Day Shred and we tried it together. If anyone can kick butt, Jillian can. I have 30DS, BFBM, NMTZ, and the new one Last Chance Workout, that I haven't tried yet. (It seems scary!) And I have Bob's BL Boot Camp (I now…

Hey Ladies! Tons of new faces.....WELCOME!! Checking in after a not-so-good weekend. :embarassed: I didn't work out Friday, Saturday, or Sunday and I'm so mad at myself. I did have a super-busy weekend that absolutlely just flew by, but that shouldn't be my excuse. I should have made time for a workout no matter what. I…

Hello ladies! I can't believe all the new faces!! It took me a minute to catch up since yesterday...wow! The more the merrier...more motivation!! Welcome everyone! Way to go everyone on their workouts yesterday!! :flowerforyou: Checking in late today and still at work...ugh! Needing a beer ASAP but I'm trying to resist the…

When you are on the menu of the DVD and choose workouts it says something like "play entire" or "choose circuits". I think each circuit is around 5 minutes each. I would like to do the whole video all the time, but when I hit the gym first for cardio and don't have a lot of time afterward, I at least get a little strength…

Hey Ladies & Welcome Newbies!! Hope you all have your parkas on today!! :tongue: It's freezing!!! Just checking in for the day.... I did good yesterday but not as good as I could have been. Strange, but ever since I returned to work on Monday I have been getting these horrible headaches and I'm starting to get annoyed. I…

Hey Ladies! I too am freeeeeeezing here in TX! It's been so cold this week and expected to get colder tonight and tomorrow. I can't stand the cold!!! I'm with you vrdz....if I liked cold, I'd live in Alaska dangit! I had a great day yesterday! I ate well all day and got a workout in. I went to the gym and jumped on the…

Forgot to mention I weighed Monday morning and gained 3 pounds over the holidays. :grumble: It was expected and could have been worse, but my ticker only at 2 lbs lost is very sad and pathetic. Gotta get that number back up quickly!!!!!

Hey ladies! I just caught up on all of your posts over the holidays. I was off work for over a week and not doing a darn thing as far as eating well or exercising so I didn't have a reason to get on. BUT, I missed reading what everyone was doing. Sounds like you all stayed pretty strong and I'm so jealous!! I'm off to a…

Hey Ladies! Glad to hear you are feeling better vrdz! And WOW on the training you signed up for. Such a good deal, a good motivator, and possibly an awesome prize in the end!!! I found something similar at our local rec center but I'm debating on doing it just yet. It's a group of 8-10 meeting Tues & Thurs for 4 weeks for…

Hey Ladies!! Sorry to hear your sick vrdz....I'm finally over mine. I swear it felt like I was sick for two weeks though. Choco-Way to go! I'm glad your challenge is over and you accomplished what you started...major willpower! Well I'm back on the wagon officially! I got my heart rate monitor for Christmas early and tried…

Choco & vrdz....WAY TO GO! You put me to shame the past few weeks!!! Can you both come to TX and knock me back into shape??? :laugh: Well today is the last day of our week-long feast at work and I am soooooo glad it's done!! On top of being sick and not having the energy to care what I ate, I've been tempted every day at…

Way to go Choco! I can't believe you accomplish what you do all in a day! I wish I had it in me. Feeling better today and back at work, but still not 100%. My goal is to feel better at least by Friday so I can get some working out done over the weekend. Wish me luck! Keep up the good work ladies!!

Hey ladies! Finally checking in. I've been home sick the past two days but decided to get on and check out what you rockin' ladies have been up to. Great job to you both...ya'll have been going strong! I'm hoping to kick this cold and get back on track. Today is day 3 of chillin at home and getting rest....so cross your…

I'm IN!!! I have been tracking and on the workout/eat healthy bandwagon for about 2 1/2 months now. I've seemed to have problems every single weekend with keeping up with it all. Hopefully this will help! Thanks for starting it.

Hi ladies!! Sorry I've been MIA. Work has been crazy this week and I'm just now getting the time to get on here and post. This week has flown by!! I'm so impressed at how you girls have been doing!! :love: vrdz & choco.....you are blowing us out of the water. I soooo wish I had the same motivation right now. Mine has…

Thanks vrdz for the 5k advice. I was wondering if there were people that walked too. I just keep imagining myself having to walk and being the only one. Unfortuately it’s going to be absolutely freezing which puts a damper on my excitement. The low tonight/morning is 24 degrees! For us Texans, that’s like saying it’s 20…

I swear I thought this was myself writing this! I am in the EXACT same boat as you. I workout, I eat right, I take a vitamin etc etc. I've been extremely dedicated and focused the past two months on my health and losing weight and working out. I just "took off" from my routine last week for the holiday and it has been the…

Hello Ladies! I did well my first day back on the wagon yesterday. I ate well and did Jillian's 30 Day Shred Level 1 again. I'm so sore after doing the video Tuesday night. It's amazing to me that after just one week off, how hard it was and how sore I am. I'm eating well today but have to skip my workout....my son has his…

Hey Ladies! I'm baaaaaack :happy: after a long vacay from working out and eating well. I can't remember the last time I posted but I caught up on everyone's and it's look like ya'll did way better than I did. I decided to take last week off completely just to give myself a break from the calorie counting, stressing about…

That happened exactly to me just yesterday!! I thought I was crazy! It was early (about 2 wks), no symptoms: no cramps, no moodiness, no tiredness, no soreness. It came out of nowhere and it was weird. I was wondering if it had to do with this "healthier lifestyle"...I'm glad I'm not the only one wondering.

Happy Friday everyone! I need some motivation to be good this weekend. I feel that I-don't care-attitude coming on where I am not being conscious of my food I'm eating. If I start that this weekend, next week will be horrible!! I went to happy hour last night and had a few yummy margaritas! I declined the quesadilla…

Good morning everyone! Alomost Friday...woo hoo!! I worked off the brownies last night and did the elliptical for 20 mins and Bob's BL Boot Camp for 45. I was worn out, but felt better about my afternoon splurge yesterday. Burned about 590 calories total. So probably no working out for me either tonight. One of my buddies…

Thanks for the help on the heart rate monitor...think I'm going to try it out tonight during my video. Confession time: I just had two brownies at work. :ohwell: They were so worth the cheat though, so I can't be too mad at myself. They were homemade and ooey gooey deliciousness! I think I'm going to up the workout to a…

Okay so I have a dumb question about heart rate monitors. My mom gave me an old one of hers that's been sitting around her house being unused. It's a Polar, but not sure what # it is. She thought I'd try it out before asking for one for Christmas. Anyway....she gave me a watch thing and it digitally says "off" on the…

Way to go vrdz!! Good job! I did very well yesterday. No cheating with bad food and I got a workout in. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and burned 345 calories. (Thought I was going to pass out and fall off at one point!!) Then I did 2 ab circuits from Jillian's No More Trouble Zones for about 10-15 minutes. My plan…

Hey ladies....checking in! I haven't done too bad but not great either. I ate a very large ooey gooey brownie last Friday and Sunday I had some Halloween candy (is it ever going to be gone?) Brushed it off and back on track. Sweet free yesterday and today so far. Everyone seems to be doing so good!! Keep it up!
