I will be starting Push on Sat. I am excited. But I too worry about my squats. No matter how far I do push my butt back I often feel it in my quads not in my hamstrings and butt (which is where I need it the most! :laugh:) Heidi - I am right there with you tough about not doing a good job with the diet over the holidays so…

Yeah the only difference between the link and the core is the bluetooth capability. I prefer the bluetooth one because I love seeing all the goods right there on my phone but yeah I went with it because of the sale and Costco has a great return policy so if it stinks or isn't working out I can just take it to my store and…

The link. Go it from Costco when the Up was acting all crazy! http://www.costco.com/BodyMedia-FIT%E2%84%A2-LINK-Armband.product.11680102.html?catalogId=10701&langId=-1&keyword=body+media&storeId=10301

So glad I will have a buddy on this LP journey. I will be sneaking all sorts of peeks at your diary to try to get food ideas. So far I am surprised the food planning and macros is not as hard as I expected. I am basically just eating a bit less of what I had been eating. I guess I was eating more protein and less carbs…

Yeah it is rough. Josie keeps asking for Roxie and when we explain it to her she seems ok and runs off but then maybe 2 hours later she will be asking about her again. I was sad when I woke up since Roxie always got up and followed me into the office when I worked out. So I was sad but the cardio distracted me and I worked…

Oh no! The dog was happy for sure but I am sure you were MAD! I know I would have been. I am glad that you had a good break though. I had fun and hung out with some old friends. I am ready to get down to business. Even though the food and booze is fun, it overall makes me feel crappy in the end so I am ready to get back on…

Awww how good of a mommy are you that you have activities planned? I am just running errands today (hubby is at work) working out and then have a party to go to tonight. Loving the weights but the Up is going back as we speak. The band was awesome and I think it did a good job of counting steps but the software was way…

Count me in!

owwwww check it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=535-jeaYHLk haha

Oh no!!! Are you feeling better?? Do you know what you had? Do you think it was just a side effect of the meds? That is horrible! at least on the bright side you were able to lose weight.:laugh: But I am sure you would rather have just felt better! Our trip was nice. Lots of snow in Jackson. Josie apparently is not a huge…

Yeah I had not heard of it either until I was doing my research :laugh: People think I am weird for wanting fitness gifts but apparently gadgets are totally acceptable gifts :wink: Yes as for the Botox I am very pleased. I told my mom last night and she said should could see a difference in the line and that it looks…

Bumpity bump :)

Well funny that I ask about the fitbit/bodymedia device today. My mom gave me my last Christmas present and it was the Jawbone Up (the new version not the failed beta test version, haha). I am excited about it since it is a lot easier to wear and keep up with than the fitbit and the big arm band. This is just a bracelet…

Thanks for the bump :)

Ok so I finally got down to brass tax and figured my numbers for LP. Here we go: BMR based from website given: 1416 TDEE based on activity level: 2195 (rounded to 2200 for simplicity sake) 30% deficit: 1540 35% deficit: 1430 40% deficit: 1320 Ok so there it is. That is lower than I am used to no doubt but honestly it is…

Yeah so I finally faced the music and I was up 4 pounds. Yep exactly 4 pounds. The scale hasn't been that high since maybe a year! Crazy. I know it is mostly the binge over the weekend but it is also hard to know if my body just can't deal with the higher calories that I have been eating overall since switching to CLX…

Sorry for being so late. I was out yesterday but still got in a good workout :laugh: So this weekend......um yeah. I too was so out of control. To the point of complete binging and making myself sick. It was all the Christmas sweets that I was powerless against!!! At the holiday party on Friday night I did great, until we…

So far no offers on the house and only 6 showings which makes me sad but I am sure that things are just slow because of the holidays. I am really hoping to picks back up in Jan and it only takes one right? :laugh: Congrats on the loss! That is awesome. I was up slightly but I am ok with it since I did increase my calories…

I hear that! I was in bed at 8:30 last night. I was whipped, haha! Well today marks the end of the first week of CLX. That burn it off was no joke. I definitely made me feel like it was a tabata/insanity mix up haha. Hate those jump up on one legs thing! So that was good but for me recharge is just ok. I wish they cut some…

I started CLX on 12/8 so I am right there with you. This will be my first round of CLX but I have previously completed a round of Insanity, a round of Lindsay Brin's 60 Day Slimdown, and three rounds of Supreme 90 Day. First week is almost done and so far so good, just have to make sure I go slowly :laugh:

Thanks. I know those pictures are horrid but it gives you the idea :laugh: I will let you know how it all looks after the full 14 days :wink: Yeah it was good. I think it was too high (having issues with my HRM as it is time to wash the strap again) so I lowered it to 650. That is still good but more reasonable for me.…

Hey if it is gone its gone! Don't ask questions just be happy the gain is down. Oh so far I can see the difference with the botox and it doesn't take full effect for 7-14 days. I don't hit 7 days until this Thursday. I will email you some very unfortunate pictures that shows you the difference I can see already. The line…

Yep that is the exact same line I have and apparently Botox is the only way to deal with it. So I had it done yesterday. It was easy and fairly painless considering needles are going into your head. haha. It was scary at first since I wanted just between the brows (that one vertical line between them) done but overall I…

Thanks again for all that info. It was very helpful especially that quiz! So much more helpful than the basic: sedentary, low, moderate, whatever you always see. I always had a hard time with it because while I sit at a desk for 8 hours the other hours of the day I am running around all over god's green earth and I never…

I know what you mean. I am trying to get back on it 100% but I am still lagging. I am ok though if I can keep things decent until after the holidays I am good since I am going to hit the diet hard come new years :laugh: I am sorry for asking you this since I am sure you are like "just read the damn thing" which I will…

I am so glad to hear things are getting better with your Gram. I know how stressful that can be. I am also glad to hear that you are feeling better as well and so jealous you are done with Christmas shopping :laugh: As long as I have the time to get the shopping done without Josie I am good. I like to get gifts and shop…

Well the party is over and done and I couldn't be more thrilled :laugh: It went very well and everyone had a good time but boy it was so much work. The two months of crafting wasn't bad but then the 8 hours of baking and then staying up all hours of the night on Friday to get everything set up (Mike got the stomach virus I…

I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. It is so hard when they are older because it seems like any sort of bug can cause all sorts of problems. Hey look at us we are 30 and we are getting struck down by all sorts of illness. Speaking of, yes I would totally say it sounds like pregnancy symptoms :laugh: Glad to hear…

Oh yeah if we were in a better location (mostly with regards to schools) we would totally rework our house. There is a lot of that in our neighborhood but I am not going to pay for private school when there are great public schools just 20 minutes north. Glad to hear that CLX is giving you a run for your money. Feeling…
