Yeah 90 day program sounds better than 84 or 91 days haha :)

I hear you on the stuffed piggy. The low carb action definitely don't keep things flowing very well. Oh and though I think the low carb has a nice quick weight loss effect I know it is not something I could keep up with. I mean I am not working out at all right now and I am feeling a bit run down today so I am sure if I…

Oh or I forgot. I was also eyeing the Jennifer Nicole Lee set JNL Fusion which is intervals of strength and cardio. Only 60 days but I heard good thing about it on video fitness (that site is evil). I like that in the 30 sec strength intervals you can go as heavy as you like or go lighter to get more reps. Makes me think…

I moved right into the next phase but since I wasn't a fan of screwing up my schedule either I added that extra Burn it Off into the first rest day of Push so that I could keep on the same schedule.

I COMPLETELY understand how you feel about wasting food. I am sort of neurotic about it. I freeze everything and anything if I think I will not be able to eat it and I make things work come hell or high water. Like for example, I wanted to get the Fage full fat greek yogurt but when my husband went to the store he could…

How exciting that you are almost into the Lean phase Heidi! I can't wait to hear your thoughts. Recovery week this week on my diet so I am taking a week off CLX this week then I start the 3rd week of Push on Saturday. I might have to try Jillian's BR next time around :)

Oh I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well :( Yeah the climb was WAY better than I thought. I was pacing it with my friend so I could have gone faster/harder but a slow steady walk up 52 flights felt like nothing. I guess I am in way better shape than I assume :laugh: I was off on Friday with the food since Mike's…

Sorry to run in and out crazy day! Congrats on your loss! Climb tomorrow wish me luck!! But to answer your question Dixie, I like the plan. I felt it was a good mix of cardio and resistance training. I would say I got better results with it than the 30ds since it was not the same thing day in and day out but it isn't as…

Oh course. Up .4lb hissssss!!!!! You would think for such a big cut the weight would be falling off right? Ok I am done now.

Oh no! Can they give him some steroids or something to help clear up the cough? That stinks! Josie gets sick non stop since we haven't hit the first year of day care yet but it is just stuff like runny noses and coughs that last a day or two (other than the hospital visit we have been lucky that her stuff is quick to…

I found all my original weights through Craigslist. That is the cheapest way to go in my opinion. I feel weird when doing the single leg moves and I am never quite sure if I have it right but then my butt and hamstrings are fatigued and/or sore the next day so I am thrilled with that. Especially considering I am very quad…

Sorry I missed you yesterday things were crazy! Birthday dinner was good and I was over maintenance but not horrible (didn't make myself sick and it was just those few hours) however the scale is still showing a pound up from Friday even though I have been great other than that one meal. Booo! So I am hoping that goes down…

That is so nice to have a handy husband!! Well the birthday was fun but I went way over. I wasn't a glutton but once the dessert came out I was a goner. I logged it all and was just over maintenance for the day (as my BMF tells me). So we will see how much that effects my loss this week. As long as I still see something on…

Try to think "hinge" instead of "bend". You will get it :)

I know Push 2 is my favorite with those isolation moves :laugh: Have you done any of the lean videos yet? Everyone says that they are considerable harder so I am curious! They are definitely longer that is for sure. :grumble: I don't mind working out longer but it just means I have to get up earlier which is why I am not…

Josie is doing better. She got a full nights rest last night so that was good for all of us :laugh: The antibiotics should be kicking in by the end of the day today so hopefully she will no longer need the ear drops for pain. They are the worst since the stuff is really thick. Its like pouring honey into her ears. I can…

For deadlifts try to make sure your back is flat and really push your butt out. My back does get slightly fatigued but I definitely feel the burn in the hammies when my back is flat, abs are in and butt is far back. I also find it helps to make sure your chest stays up so you aren't rounding your shoulders. That helps me…

Oh yeah and it is all natural which is why I am sure it tastes so bad. haha

Sorry MRM Reload, not MGM. Do you drink it all before the workout or during the workout as well?

I hear you on the sick kids front. I was home today with Josie. She had an ear infection so she was up all night and fussy as hell this morning. I couldn't wait for the doctor's office to open at 9 this morning. And usually her being sick isn't such a big deal since she usually just likes me to veg out on the couch and…

Yeah my burn is really low on the Push videos except for the leg moves. Those have my heart rate soaring! Just finished all the push videos for the first time and I know I need to increase the weights on lots of the moves. I think I like push 2 the best which is funny since I liked burn 2 the best of that phase :)

Yeah me too. I haven't defriended anyone other than inactivity. The Laurnwhit was odd because we commented back and forth like you do with her. Maybe my singing annoyed her. :laugh: Ok its killing me I am going to refriend her and just see if she accepts. If not, no biggie, just want to know if it was a mistake :laugh:…

I will check out the BCAA. Yeah the LP thing about the least amount of deficit is on page 140 (section 2). I just read this a few days ago since I hadn't finished the book when I started, haha. So I am going to go with these number for the first 3 weeks. I am trying to decide when I should switch to week 4 though. I…

I hear you on this. I was having this same debate last year and actually took a poll on my blog with pictures and all! haha It turned out to be so much in my head and I did wear bikinis and it was fine and people commented on how good I looked. If you can get past your own nerves I say do it. :flowerforyou:

Oh that is so cute! I hope Josie is requesting healthy meals when she get older. Great work on your bar. You are such a good DIYer. I can craft with the best of them but forget anything that you have to be handy for. Assembling pre made furniture is as good as I get on that front. haha. My weekend was good. We had a long…

Yes I am constantly on the look out for high protein recipes. Especially now this this diet. My go tos are rotisserie chicken and chicken in the crock pot with salsa and beans. I am digging up some chicken crock pot recipes for this coming week. But I still have a spaghetti squash that I could cook and some turkey to make…

Well I love just over a pound this week which is great considering I was up 2 pounds most of the week. Still annoying considering I am running about a 1000 calorie deficit everyday. But that should, in theory, equal 2 pounds a week on average loss. And for the last 2 week I have lost a little over 4lbs so the numbers are…

Sorry to make a late pop in but I was a busy bee today. I too am the same as I was last friday this morning but I have been watching my sodium and hope to see some sort of loss tomorrow. But as you say, we must give it time :grumble: So the stair thing was a friend of mine here in Dallas. She is the one who actually…

Got on the scale again and it was down those 2 pounds (yea!) and back to where it was on Friday. So I am thrilled that we I am back to where I was BUT also annoyed that I am not losing like 10 pounds a week on this cut! :laugh: We will see what Friday brings. You never know. Hopefully it will all be magic in the next two…

OMG just deleted my entire reply to you soo annoyed. fast recap: yes, still up 2 pounds on the scale for no reason. really annoyed but I know it must head down eventually. My biggest concern is that I gained 6 pounds when on vacation in June and never got the last 3 off. Now that I gained 8 at Christmas on top of that 3 I…
