I enjoy starting each year with a fast. This year I omitted flour, meat, dairy, caffeine, alcohol, sugar, TV and Facebook. I will continue this for a full 40 days. As I don't eat a lot of any of these food groups through out the year, I did not have any withdrawal issues. You can consider doing an enema or a colonic, if…

I just finished planning my meals for tomorrow. I typically aim for 2000 calories that meet my macros, then once i have finished exercising for the day I know how much more I need to eat so I finish a couple hundred calories under my goal.

Still working out as I am scheduled too, just haven't been posting it here. Sorry! Speed 3.0 today - nailed it in my modified way - yesterday was the Pyramid, by far my fav. workout!!

Yorukaze - a little late in the game, but I'd say go for repeating it! You should not plateau, if anything an extra 2 weeks will help you with nailing the DVDs!! Keep pushing play!

The percentage of carbs/ Prot/fat you need each day can be preset by MFP or you can do a little research and studying on your own to determine your personal goals and set your own daily %. I use both the oz. and the gms on my scale as need to meet the MFP food input. For instance I know that the carrot entry I use is in…

Rip't UP has been rocked out! Wow, wow, wow my shoulders and biceps are singing right now!! Gamma is amazing!! Carrie - WTG on the double!! Keep pushing it!!

Wow, I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted here! So sorry, I don't mean to forget. I have been doing my workouts and am still really enjoying Gamma. Today was The Pyramid - what a fabulous workout, I like the 5 count butterfly at the end, it is energizing! Lezerlies - I cannot remember right off your…

GAMMA is the BOMB!!! Wow! I have finished my first week, all 4 DVDs and like them ALL! Speed 3.0 will be my task master, but I vow to rise up and master it!!! YEA baby! That being said, today must be an off day for me. My HR only averaged 110 on the ET normally I am running 139. Energy was waining at the beginning of the…

Whew, Extreme Circuit again is a fabulous challenge, I kind of sort of nailed it in my modified way!:tongue: LOL Carrie - stunning effort on the Upper Focus! WTG! Enjoy your Wednesday all!

Rip't UP is my new best friend! That work out rocks and is a challenge I will revel in the day I can say Nailed It! Carrie - great job with CC! and with adjusting your calories to move you from your stall!

Gamma 3.0 nailed me! 'Nuff said. I am going to have to get creative for modifying the burpees in this one. Lezerlies - a stall in weight loss is not uncommon. Keep in mind initial weight loss in any diet/work out is going to be water. You have shocked your body and now it is adjusting. It can go in to a semi-starvation…

A bag of Dole Classic Iceburg Salad Mix, 1 cup of baby spinach, 2 TBL (1/8 cup) sliced raw almonds, 1 medium Roma tomato diced and 1 thin slice of a medium onion = 201 calories, 28 carbs, 9 gms fat, 10 gms protein, 8 gms fiber. can substitute raisins for tomato or use different nuts and stay under 225 calories. I don't use…

Friday's double ended up being a Statuday double feature! Did speed 2.0 followed by Ript Circuit. Less that 5 min into Speed 2.0 my heart rate was consistently above 159; meaning I was working it in my 90% max heart range! Supposedly 178 is my max heart rate and I got to 174 at least once! Heart Rate during RC much lower,…

Well, I had some fun playing with my HRM. I didn't get all I wanted in it, but it will suffice for me. I bought a Omron HR-100C back in Nov and am finally going to put it use. I did have to shorten the chest strap (at its preset it was still lose enough that it would slide down to my waist! So I shorten the strap 1") I set…

Congrats keeping up with the workouts! and to your hubby for his achievements so far! Keep it up!! Okay, so I just opened my Gamma DVD's!! Yah, I've had them since late Nov. and the box has sat unopened on my desk until now!!! I am soooooo psyched to begin it now!!! For those of you who are doing or have completed gamma…

Good Thursday morning! So loving my personal day!! Got my chair assembled first thing and used it : ) YEA, me! I can handle being spoiled! My double T25 could have been better movement wise but I REALLY like Ript' Circuit and Dynamic Core so that combo was excellent! Really felt the RC exercises I did toward the end of DC!…

I would agree with MadDog - you can check with your supplier to see if the have nutritional info, otherwise I would go with the organic version of your cut of meat.

So, I was supposed to do Ript' Circuit today. However the harness work I had to finished did me in. At the end of the day my elbow hurts, hands are sore and feet are super tender. Still no hot water so I had to take my daughter to a neighbors to shower, I go pick her up in 30 min, by the time I cook dinner and clean up it…

Struggled through Core Cardio - managed to nail some of it (somewhat like nailing jello to the wall, though!) I am going to get my work caught up before I put my self through Ript' Circuit this afternoon. Jake - you will be missed, your energy is so inspiring Captain - thank you for your understanding! As you seem to have…

Evening all, as much as I hate to do this I will not get my full core cardio in today. While heat to shop was restored late afternoon, I am tired (and cold) and once I go pick up my daughter will head to bed. Tomorrow has to be a more productive day! Jenni - so glad you are back

OPS!:embarassed: I made an assumption from the captain! My BAD! Please accept my sincere apology! I now stand more in awe of your workouts! You ROCK!!

Carrie - Thank you!! Temps are okay here in TN 6º before windchill. I was in Oshkosh mid-Dec and really enjoyed the 20º weather and snow. I am a former Yooper! LOL Glad you are feeling better, stay warm and healthy. Spring is on her way:happy: Calsgirl - FABulous achievement! I am so happy for you! Way to think positive on…

Rip't Circuit was a half and half challenge, LOL some of it I nailed and the rest of it nailed me. Three weeks off was way too much! I am so proud of you who kept up with the workouts throughout the holiday's. I will be revising my goals to meet me where I am today. Carrie, I love it that your kids are there with you - I…

Accountability - I believe my head is finally right again. I hope to start week 5 of Beta on Monday Dec 30. I am amazed at how these last two weeks have broken me. I relapsed for the first time in 11 years! So thankful I was able to be there for my Mom. I don't plan on weigh myself until Sat Jan 4, no measurements until…

Just a quick note, I have not left you all! My uncle passed away on the 15th. His service will be tomorrow the 20th. At this rate I won't be able to head home until Sat and get home Sunday. While I brought my T25, being with my parents and having all the cleaning and arrangements to work on has been more than I…

Jakeyuma - how frustrating with the weights! Any luck w/ CS? Do you have any empty 20oz bottles? Fill them with sand and water. They won't be a heavy as what you are used to using, but it would still provide you some resistance. Or try using the free weight disc, although awkward to use, it is still weight. made it through…

I got a pre-loved Fitbit One as an early Christmas present and I really like it. Syncing it with MFP is easy, plus you can sync it to Walgreens and get more points! I like the fitbit site and use it in conjunction with MFP (all entries still done on MFP.)

I set my activity level as sedentary as I can sit for long periods with my work. As you add exercises to your diary your macros goals will go up accordingly. If you are working at maintaining add more food, working at losing then either stay close to your set goal or adjust as you need to. I am 5'5" and within my goal…

I started out logging as I ate - just recently I have adjusted my macros so I now plan my meals the night before. Breakfast is a smoothie 7 days a week, easy input. I plan my dinners for the entire month, it is easy for me to set up the recipe and input that info, too. Then I plan my lunch and snacks around the leftover…

IIII"MMMMMM BAAACCKKKK! Thank you all for the "well wishes," not quite 100% but close enough to T25:laugh: I got the double up in; nailed dy. core - barely made it on Core Cardio. It was almost laughable. Jakeyuma - Please see a dr.! There are so many things that can cause shooting chest pains and I am praying yours is…
