Today I did a Cardio Sports Drills. I DID NOT like the side burpees. I finally have the regular ones down pat and then they throw this at me. I'm glad no one sees me doing them. And then I decided even if it's not attractive at least I'm doing them! It wasn't as bad as a workout as I thought it was going to be. I'm going…

Today I did a Tactical Cardio workout 47 minutes. It was great and sweaty! I do have a confession - Oh my goodness I was really bad yesterday. I've been bad before but at least I kept track before. Snack food is my nemesis. I managed to get through Thanksgiving and Christmas with not too much problem. But New Year's Eve…

I weigh about 60 lbs less then I did a year ago. I'm a 2nd degree black belt. Yesterday I fit into size 10 pants - which I don't remember doing in ever so long. I remember having a discussion with my husband about how I would never get into single digit clothing. It's not too far off! I am happy to know that I am healthier…

Today did Lean Abs plus had 14,000 + steps but fitbit wasn't talking to myfitness pal which is too bad as I was -500 some in calories. I had orange chicken from Cheesecake Factory with husband. Date - no children AWESOME! Had delicious Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake. shared it - too good. I did get a to go box right away and…

Congratulations Laura! Welcome 13Strong. Today I did a medicine ball workout 45 minutes 530 calories burned! Feels great in my core.

Sorry to hear about your cat : ( Pets are truly part of the family. That will be hard. Today I did a resistance band work out. However I switched to modify it with free weights. I was using a hard resistance band and it was troubling my shoulder. Last night I did a black belt TKD class. It was pretty good - broke a good…

Thanks to people who volunteered. I'm not sure where to find them or how to post them. Haven't even changed my profile picture yet since I've lost weight (I need to, I'm in 2 uniform sizes smaller then the one shown!) I'm not sure what my issue is about my pictures. I haven't posted anything even on facebook. Only pictures…

I love the site bare necessities. You need to measure yourself - maybe have some help. Learn everything you can about what is a good fit. Don't feel embarrassed to call their help line. They are awesome. I love Panache and Freya sports bras. Research is the best bet! Don't wear two - a Good bra is worth EVERY penny!

@Laura thanks for the tip. This morning it gave me the calories and now I am 300 some in the black from yesterday. Today my chest and shoulder ached and forgo the exercise. But I am cooking for dinner today making casseroles and ham. Instead of standing there stirring the cheese - I jogged at the stove. My son shouted "Mom…

Today went to the city to shop and go to doctor for husbands knee. Dr. said great recovery and he is doing awesome. He walked in with crutches and a brace and walked out with neither. Husband was very pleased. Although I think I wore him out after with shopping. I let him sit it out at a movie with kids while I shopped.…

Received lots of snow - ok decent amount but since husband is laid out with knee. Sons and I shoveled. Used this as exercise for now and may work out later. @HereOnOut hope your daughter feels better, I know that it is a bummer at the Holidays to not feel well. Husband is doing well, doesn't like being down and it is…

I don't think the Nike Fuel band works with MFP. It didn't when we purchased our fitbit in June. I love my fitbit one and would buy it again. I don't understand the Nike Fuel points very well or how to incorporate it into my diet at mfp.

Today I did Cardio Strength 30 minutes burned 470 calories. Have a great weekend everyone.

snow day from school - which should have been finals, as happy as that sounds that means the day we get back more finals. Thought I would get exercise in but had to go into school to pass out fundraiser stuff to the kids who made it in to hand out stuff people wanted for Christmas. So I did lots of running around - but sad…

Did a medicine ball workout with a couple of friends after school. Must have been moving today had 12,000 steps. Sad day going to bed with 800 calories left.

early day - took husband to surgery. No real exercise. But did do the stairs at the ortho surgery building while waiting. I wish watching people at the YMCA across from the surgery building counted as me exercising. But I'm not complaining because husbands only exercise will be lifting his leg for a while - although I'm…

my sister and I look quite a bit a like and we are both teachers but at different schools. Some of her students saw me lately and then asked her if she had two sisters because I didn't look like the sister that was introduced to them! Yeah!

Today got a work out in - yeah. Kettle bell 38 minutes 480 cal burn. Husband is going for surgery tomorrow. He has plan set out to work on rehab of his knee after his ACL surgery. Hope that we keep up the exercise after.

Today I did Lean Abs for 20 minutes and then went to TKD Black Belt Class for 60 minutes.

Not necessarily a planned day off - but one none the less. : ) Good working out everyone! I have to admit I had to look up Nia classes. :smile: It looks interesting. It's neat how things evolve and merge into each other.

My family loves it. I am a 2nd degree black belt, my husband is 3rd. Oldest son is 1st degree (17 ) and my other son (12) is a temp black. My 9 year old daughter is a green belt. She is not really doing classes anymore. She was more stubborn then we were. I think it has been the best thing in my entire life. I wouldn't…

@fromhereonout -I would find the brand and google it - I'm sure there is a youtube video out there : ) What Tae Kwon Do rank is your son? Today I went to work out with a teacher friend after school and the internet wasn't working right so no online video. So walked over to the elementary school which has two sets of stairs…

Too much stuff going on. Didn't get home in time for workout. But did go to Tae Kwon Do. Little workout. Going to do something tomorrow. I'm saying it now. I WILL follow through.

My shoulders and back were so sore today! Part of the box and burn yesterday had us do a lot of punches - which I'm used to, but then they stepped it up and had us use weights. I only used 3 lbs weights, but oh my goodness I sure feel it today! I bypassed a harder workout for an upper body release - stretch. It uses a foam…

Today I did a Box and Burn. Plan to do LOTS of cleaning today and maybe walk in a lighted Christmas parade - it is freezing outside so I'm not as encouraged - but it would give me steps so - hmmmmm we will see.

Ok I'm dong a little backtracking here - too busy of a week! Great day this was! I did a fast workout tried a crazy workout twisting push-ups where you swing your knees through to the side and lean to one side and do a push-up. Good stuff but crazy hard on my sore shoulder. I stopped doing that workout when they asked me…

It has been an interesting discussion. I haven't looked too closely at some of that, perhaps I need to. I have been using MFP and my fitbit since about June. I love it, and it does keep me moving. I do use some of the extra calories that it gives me. I put my setting on slightly active (I'm a teacher). But the best advice…

@Laura - I have a feeling you got plenty of exercise with the shoveling! :smile: Today I did my medicine ball workout. I have a feeling that to get a workout in the next couple of days I will have to get up earlier : ( Getting cold here. Not really inspired to go for a walk tonight.

Tonight a light class at Tae Kwon Do. Then went for a walk with husband and dog. Too many meetings to workout after.

Today I did a Lean Abs workout.
