POCKETS?? Oh my... What a waste, but on the other hand...What a waist!! :) Good for you!!

So W3D2... It was easier than D1. I didn't look at the clock as much as I did the last time. I would keep looking at the clock and think "I still have 2 mins left! OMG that's so long away!" This time I tried to just look straight ahead and the time didn't seem to lag as long. I keep amazing myself that I'm actually running…

I initially started using the same podcast as looby, but I didn't really care for the music. I use one called "First Day to 5 K" from Podrunner. It's a music mix by DJ Beatsmith. They have a TON of different interval mixes. The DJ talks a for a bit at the beginning, but once the workout begins, it's only music and there…

Thanks for sharing! :)

Well...I completed W3D1 today. I really had my doubts going in cuz I can't remember or if I've ever run for 3 mins straight. I use a podcast that plays music and has a tone to indicate when to change speeds. I wasn't paying attention so I wasn't sure where I was in the intervals. I was starting to run out of steam, but I…

It's nice to know I'm not alone in the "short" club. :) As long as we keep trying, everything should get better...i hope? haha

Blanch the broccoli. Heat pan with a little oil to brown garlic, if preferred. Add broccoli and a tbs or 2 of oyster sauce. Sounds weird, but really good. It's sold in the regular grocery store in the Asian foods section. I like blanching the broccoli first cuz the water dilutes the oyster sauce and also adds a sauce if…

W2D3... DONE!! It's so much harder to go to a walk after you've been running for 90 secs, but I definitely need those 2 mins of recovery. Kinda scared of what W3 will have in store. My legs were burning, my lungs were gonna explode and I was sweating like no other, but I finished it!! Stronger than the last time. I know my…

I completely relate to how you feel. I don't like to share my weight with my husband, but he's smart enough not to ask me. haha I'm sure he knows cuz we have one of those scales that records weight, but then again I don't think he really cares all that much. But I really don't like it when he tries to pick me up. He says…

I know a couple of people who are running that this weekend. I'm hoping to do it next year when I can actually run! :)

W2D2 ... DONE! It was better than D1, but my thighs are killing me. It might have more to do with the squats I did yesterday. I run on a treadmill and the highest I run is at a 5. My brisk walk is anywhere between 3.5 and 4. At the end of each 90 sec interval I'm sweating like crazy and my heart rate can go up to 85% of my…

Hi Team Turbo! I weighed myself this AM and the 1.5 lbs I had lost last week has found it's way back to the scale. I am, however, having my monthly so I just told myself that I shouldn't be discouraged by what the scale is telling me. Even though I know I'm retaining water, I still felt bummed with those numbers. I worked…

Just wanted to wish everyone a great week! Keep stretching, don't forget to breathe and most of all know that you're one step closer to running that 5k!! :)

This has me written all over it!! hahaha Well at least the part about not being a runner and I'm pleasantly surprised at my progress and that I actually think it's kinda "easy". Hope my results will turn out to be the same as your sister! 10 5ks? WONDERFUL!

I've been wondering the same thing, especially about the fiber. I often eat a grapefruit and it's about 90% of my total daily intake. It never dawned to me that too much fiber would be a bad thing.

W2D1 ... I finished it. I started strong, but then I had to slow down quite a bit. I also started to run out of steam towards the second to last interval, but I always seem to get a little stronger when I hear the voice from my ipod say "okay this is your last 90 run". Kinda looking forward to W2D2 to see if I can keep a…

Congratz!! That's so exciting. I just got back from running W2D1 and it was tough. I wanna go back to week 1!! haha I didn't realize that it was only a 2 month program until today. It's hard to believe that in that amount of time I should be running 3 miles, but it's good to know that others are going along this journey as…

I found myself doing my C25K training more than once. The first couple of days I couldn't finish the whole session and I tried again the next day. I got better each time and eventually by the end of the week I was able to complete all of the intervals. I'd say there aren't any "rules" you HAVE to follow. Do what you think…

Those things are fat free?? How many calories?? I LOVE THOSE THINGS!! I just discovered that a brown rice cake with a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese tastes almost like the white cheddar smart popcorn. You get the salt, crunch and cheese!! And it's a lot easier to watch your portions with a rice cake. I can't seem to…

Haven't posted in a while, but I wanted to let ya'll know that I did double duty of Cardio Party and Turbo Sculpt. I'm gonna feel it tomorrow!! My shoulders are killing me! The workouts seem to be getting more difficult instead of easier, but it may be because I'm putting a lot more of my body into the movements than I did…

More power to you hun! I was able to do it once and I'm an addict! I just fell off the wagon and find it difficult to get back on. haha But you can do anything so long as you put your mind to it. I think I said that for me, if I feel deprived, I'll eventually quit. And this time quitting is NOT an option so I'm eliminating…

I tried South Beach and I lost about 20 lbs in a month, but then I put it all back on (and probably then some) over time. Recently, I've been doing a sort of modified South Beach and I find it a lot easier to follow and to stick to it. I love bread, rice and fruit too much to give it all up, even if it's only for 2 weeks.…

I"ve been using one called Gold Standard. Each scoop has 24 g of protein with 120 calories. It does have more calories than JM, but it has almost 10 more g of protein. You can mix with water or milk. I like it better with soy milk, but it's not too bad with just water either. It's pretty easy to mix and the texture isn't…

Everyone is doing so great! I live in the PacNW and it's been typical rainy weather lately, so I've been doing all my running on a treadmill. W1D1 was tough... I didn't finish. :( W1D2 was still tough, but I went a little further than the last time. W1D3, I finished the whole cycle! I wasn't really paying attention until…

I wish I could report that I finished all the cycles, but I get so scared about falling on my face while on the treadmill if I get too tired. On the more positive side of things, I did complete my fastest mile to date! YAY!! My left ankle is kinda sore and I'm hoping that it'll go away before the next training day. Good…

Hi all! Is anyone else as sore as I am? My shoulders are killing me! But I keep telling myself that it means my body is sculpting itself into a leaner me. Cardio party was fun and I didn't realize it was going to make me that sore. I wasn't even that sore when I did Sculpt. So far Sculpt is my favorite because I sweat the…

Hi all!! Sorry I haven't kept up on the site. I know I still owe some measurements. I can't find my measuring tape! But I'm gonna go to my mom's to and have them to you. So I did Cardio Party for the first time tonight. I kept up for the most part. I wasn't able to do all the jacks and I got lost in the choreo sometimes,…

I'm chiming in late too... But like many of you, I went to the doctor's office and I got the news of an elevated cholesterol level and high blood pressure. I have been on BP meds off and on and it finally clicked that I need to do something about this - PERMANENTLY. My husband and I are also trying to conceive and it would…

I wont be doing the meal plan either just the work out. Im in Australia and like you some of the foods are not available but thats ok I know what to eat and what not to eat. I just want to have some Turbo Jam buddies to Jam with! :) I havent as yet done the sculpt or ab jam but I did do the Cardio Party mix. And like you I…

Yay!! I love having TJ buddies!! Is anyone doing the 10 day starter meal plan? I'd really like to, but I'm gonna have to modify some of the meals. I'll post my measurements by Monday. I think I'm gonna do the advanced. I haven't done the Ab Jam yet. For some reason I'm terrified of it!! haha
