Same here. I really need to find a way to reduce my fat intake even though most of fats I eat are healthy. We can do this, Ktrn :) I'm really curious about our Recovery Week!

Finished!!! :)

I'm not looking forward to them either :) Pure Cardio/Cardio Abs completed! I actually really enjoyed Cardio Abs (with the exception of the jumps in the beginning). Tomorrow is the last day of Part 1! I cannot believe I made it!!!

Welcome, Jackie - glad to have you here with us! :)

Wffolkes, that's great news! My carbs are usually below 150g anyway ever since I almost gave up my bread (I do most of my baking with coconut flour and almond flour). My problem are fats... Have you tried Max Interval Sports training instead of Cardio & core balance?

Cottage cheese/oatmeal/banana pancakes.

Workout completed! And I was able to hold my position during the squat and those darn pulses for the first time! Not during the lunges though. I LOVE the very last exercise when you're supposed to swing from one side to another...

I'm tempted too, but for a very simple reason: 1250 kca daily allowance l + the 94 kcal burned during Cardio Recovery just aren't enough for me. :) It is so much easier on other days when I burn 300+...

I'm the same. I'm getting nervous about Month 2. On one side, I'm looking forward to a change - on the other side I'm dreading the vision of working out at this speed for an HOUR. Once I see a 50 or a 60 on that ticker, I'll lose half of my energy before I even start, I'm afraid ;)

Well, today's workout was a bit weak. First, my legs felt so heavy. Then, right after the first 3 circuits, my daughter woke up and I was forced to take a longer break. And my concentration was gone. I'm so happy to see so many of you checking in! :) Congrats on completing your workouts! Wffolkes, have you actually tried…

I am, too, the queen of procrastination and one of those people who need some form of an axe above their heads - a deadline, a group... demanding boss or teacher, you name it. I joined a 30 day challenge in the beginning. The group really motivated and encouraged me. After that I slowly got into the habit od exercising. I…

I've been known to work out at 11pm or midnight. It can be hard to find the motivation to start but once I do, it's okay. I don't have any problems with falling asleep later (I know my user name suggests otherwise ;) ) On the other hand it would be impossible for me to get up an hour earlier to do a workout.

Aletadiana, so happy to hear from you! I think it's great that you listen to your body. And with your dedication, I have no doubt that you will find a great replacement for Insanity! I'm glad that you intend to keep in touch :) Ktrn - funny that you mention this - any time I work out on hardwood floor, I get shin splints.…

I wish I had the ability to stay away from the scale! Diet-wise, I eat pretty low carb - on day with Plyo and Pure Cardio I tend to eat more starchy foods, but generally my biggest problem are fats - I always go over on fats. Part of them is really healthy - avocado, coconut, nuts/seeds, eggs, fish - and the other part of…

aaaaannddd... DONE! :) My power jumps were a bit powerless today. But a good workout nonetheless! I'm feeling fresh and energized!

Which lifestyle setting do you use on MPF? Is it sedentary? If yes - any additional activity like a workout burning 300kcal should be added to your allowance and you should eat these 300 kcal back. If you chose "lightly active" or something else because you work out on a regular basis, your activity is already included in…

Jodyb23, I am having EXACTLY the same "problem". My goal weight is app. 20lbs away. I was convinced that I'd lose at least a few pounds especially in the first weeks. Nada. My scale shows the same number every day, as if nothing was happening. If I concentrated on the scale only I'd have given up already. As for inches, I…

I'm addicted to books and Swedish/Danish crime series. I hate dill.

Pizza - yum! Caviar

Same here - I am proud of myself for sticking to the program religiously! Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs completed - today was a GREAT day for me. I took very few breaks in comparison to my first time with Pure Cardio and felt really energized after the workout. Woohoo! Now, where is everyone? Aletadiana's got problems with…

If you can get coconut flour somewhere, you can make great things with it: omelettes, delicious pancakes and muffins. Not to mention bread that stays fresh for many days.

I made these yesterday. They are yummy. I didn't add any sweetener apart from the 1/4 cup of sugar and might even reduce it further because they were really sweet. I used a whole small egg, too, because we don't have replacements for that in Germany - and I don't mind using whole eggs instead, and I also used 2 tbsp of…

Done. I'm so exhausted and so happy it's a rest day tomorrow...

We will work out together! I'm starting in 10 minutes.

I remember you from our 30DS group! Your results are awesome! Great job!!

Hi! I love books, too! I learned to read when I was 4 and never stopped! :) I am reading Roald Dahl's short stories now (LOVE them) and last book I read I can really recommend with all my heart is The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.

Aletadiana - I'd be just as disappointed as you are! Sending a big hug your way! I forced myself to do the workout today. I am tired, cold, sleepy, constantly hungry. I need to start drinking protein shakes again. If I don't, I use these calories for some kind of junk. Off to shower - and then off to bed. With my Kindle...…

Great job, ladies! I'm still not done with my workout. My daughter didn't let me. Also, I feel so sluggish, as usual during that special TOM. Which of course caused weight gain, too - not really motivating. But I will push tonight. Luckily, I like Cardio Power and Resistance more than Plyo or Pure Cardio.
