oops, double post

I say "unlike" the jerk! I know, I know, he is family...blah blah blah...he is negative energy and you need to rid yourself from that. You worked too hard! You don't need to have that on your wall. And if he says anything, just tell him, "my new year's resolution is to throw out the trash!"

Buy yourself a spice cake box mix and a bag of chocolate chips. Preheat your oven to 350°. Mix your left over pumpkin with the dry cake mix, when the dough is moist, add in the chocolate chips. Spoon the dough onto a greased cookie sheet (or a stone) and place in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies come out super…

I hope I can be over weight this year too. With 60 pounds gone, you can move so much easier and you've eliminated at least the start of some very awful health related issues. That is the true victory. Since you moved to over weight you have also demonstrated will power, another accomplishment! Hell ya celebrate the…

Yoga Melt is my favorite new Yoga dvd from Jillian Michaels. It is 1/2 an hour of pure Jillian (move it to burn calories). It is fun and I use many moves in my own Yoga classes. I love to add weights so when I'm feeling spunky, I pick up a set of hand weights and go for it. This is a new dvd for me, so I've only done the…

We ditched the flying saucer sized dinner plates and exchanged them for salad plates instead. This is one way to control portions, you still get a plate full of food, just a smaller plate. I also have heard to put everything (including dessert) on your plate at one time, this is supposed to avoid "second servings". A tip…

Good place to give myself some accountability! Monday: Yoga Meltdown and 1 hour Yoga at the gym, kept it fairly clean eating, recorded both on MFP Tuesday: Hooking up my bike on the Cyclopse for an hour of pure cardio, turned down a Mexican lunch date ate salad instead, recorded both on MFP, got on the boards to give/get…

I suggest the seat, I don't do a class without mine - most bike seats were built for men so they are narrow in the most tender of places. The bike shorts are also a good option (you may feel like you are wearing a diaper or pad the first time). And, here's a class suggestion - sit "lighter" on the seat, especially during…

Thanks! Unfortunately, I got my system from a local person. It was still in the box and celophane wrapped, however not directly from Beach Body. I will still call them and see if I can work something out on those discs that won't load. I am going to attempt the R Rolls...I can bannana and superman, my hell I can R Roll!…

If you are a tread mill user, then I suggest Treadmoves. It is a circuit style workout, using weights and even skipping on the tread mill. I love this workout for a change up and for getting an hour really good sweat dripping workout on the tread. Also, if you are looking into home dvd's, I'd recommend collagevideo.com. I…

If you want to create your own calorie burn amount, you can do this on the exercise tab. I would suggest using a heart rate monitor for your personal burn number. I just taught a Power Yoga class last night and we were using weights (3 lbs) to top it off. I used slower music, because there is a mis-conception that Power…

I like the two Jillian dvd's I have, 30 Day Shred and Yoga Meltdown. Both are challenging and I don't have the dread factor to do either of them. Jillian is clear, no nonsense, get 'er done and that is something I appreciate. I get my money's worth with Jillian. Thanks Jillian for introducing so many to home workouts that…

Boobs are mostly fatty tissue. So, you lose fat, you lose boobs. Oh, those beautiful women who are on the fitness circuit, many hardly have any because they are very low percentage fat. Those that actually have them, well I'm guessing they paid some green for the extra envy factor : )

You look FAB-U-LOUS! Congratulations!!!

My favs for hoem workouts are: Jari Love Ripped Series (old school, loads of reps, effective DOMS) Kelly Coffey (the woman knows weights, 1/2 hour segments great for a powerful shorter exercise) Ilaria (my oh my, the pushups are sure to make you stronger, the body strikes although seemingly repeative kick butt) Amy Dixon…

Got a question??? Does anyone else have trouble getting the dvds to load in their player? I have had to play a portion of any of my other dvds prior to the p90x dvd running. Well, last night I started my 2nd week and stuck in the Core dvd, which I have done once already now and I could not get it to load??? What is up with…

I will be joining a group that will train with a local university to train to walk a 1/2 marathon. The program starts in February - May. I'm hoping to get really good nutrition information, up my speed and drop two sizes. I can drop in here when the program starts and pass on the information : )

Exercise bands are great to take with you. Then you combine a speed walk burst, stop and use the band for squats. Go back to a speed walk burst, stop and use the band for overhead presses. Continue with a burst and then a band exercise. A 30 min circuit training session can do wonders for energy to finish off the day and…

That is really BIG because our self control and accountability often get confused in this journey. You have found your key to success and that is really BIG. Congratulation!

Today I woke up and got my butt downstairs to do my Kenpo X dvd. I like this one a lot. I really like Kickbox, Taebo, Turbo Jam, and this reminded me of each of those in a little slower tempo, but not less intense. I skipped Kenpo yesterday, I had a bit of a dread factor. I also think I was fighting a cold. Anyways, I did…

Why not combine the weight lifting with the cardio = Circuit Training Example Start with a 5-10 min burst of treadmill work Set of Bi's Set of Tri's Set of Shoulders Repeat Sets (2 sets of 8 heavy weight or 3 sets of 15 light weight) Head over to the stair master and a good 1-2 min burst (work hard, but don't kill…

It takes a lot of planning and time to do the 5-6 meal a day for me. So being the type of person who would rather be downstairs exercising (yes, I'm a freak), I choose to concentrate of breakfast, lunch, dinner and if I wanna "graze" I just split up the meal in between. Also, another thing to consider is portions. I mean a…

I did the shoulder/bis/tris dvd last night - I really like the format. I have worked out to DVDs/Gym for years but I have never concentrated on specific muscle groups before. I would do Upper/Lower body every other day, or Circuit Training, or Full Body followed by cardio. Concentrating on specific muscle groups and then…

Wow! You people are fast at responding and so many good pointers too. Okay, I'm going to attempt the hands to the floor to roll back, thanks. Oh, I would try the jumping jack option, but only if it was a life or deather (LOL). Thanks again everyone!
