INSANITY43

Must have been a "non-workout" day....I was dreading heading to the basement,dragging my feet, finding anything to do but work-out....then I got a e-mail overing me a "scooter"!!! You know like a Hover-round...thingy!!!! :noway: Boy did that make me hit the workout !!!

When you set up your MFP account, and entered your height,weight, gender, activity level, etc., MFP determines your daily calories burned if you didn't do anything but lay around...ie breathing, heart beating. Then it determines your daily calories based on a 1-2 lb/per week weight loss (slow loss is more effective). So…

Awesome! You could tuck your little one in the coat with you now! :happy:

Ok so I don't think we can get our bodies to look exactly like an ideal that we see...but Dr. Oz had a show either Wednesday or Thursday this week about those of us gals with "belly" fat vs. "big-bottom (thigh) gals. There were specific excercises and certain foods to add and avoid that differed for each body type. Look up…

Hey Girl....You KNOW I love you so I'm going to give you the straight-up truth and that is that everything you say in this post are HUGE RED-FLAGS to end this relationship!!! I could have written this letter myself when I was your age (or a little younger) and I tried to make him happier till I nearly drove myself…

I love INSANITY....did the entire 60 day challenge...then throughout the summer just mixed up the dvds with outdoor running. Just received TURBOFIRE last week.....I find TF more challenging, not so much for the workout, but due to the choreography :embarassed: Guess I'm just not that coordinated! I also am finding that TF…

I had a goal to run 3 miles without stopping ....I did it BUT then realized that instead of running 1.5 miles and turning around to equal 3 that I had run 3 miles from home :laugh: So then on top of my run I had to walk 3 miles back.....

I have the polar FT7 and love it....I'm not into "techy" gadgets...this does everything I want.....and the chest strap is not a bother at all. I have no idea whether or not one comes with music...check out heartratemonitorsusa.com website for lots of good info.

Salmon is supposed to be great for you...I cannot acquire a taste for it. I like Haddock. Tuna is great.

Love your new dress...very chic!!!

I throw frozen blueberries in my oats...I cook them on the stovetop. Chop up a banana and throw in some walnuts, cinnamon and a little brown sugar and it's very yummy. Applesauce stirred in is also good. Oh and fresh peaches and cinnamon....mmmmmm Think I will have oatmeal for breakfast! And baked oatmeal is wonderful....

Ordered TurboFire yesterday...eagerly awaiting my shipment. Did INSANITY and still mix up those dvd's with some outdoor running...but I'm tiring of them and want to mix it up some. What kind of results is everyone seeing?

Happy for you! But I always wonder why the boobs are the first to go...... :-)

Chobani's in my favorite! I can buy it at our local super walmart...but prefer to buy it at BJ"s wholesale (like sams club) either in the big containers for under $5 .... they also carry cases with like 12 of the single serve....the pineapple is awesome!

I use the POLAR FT7 ....Love it! It's amazing to watch the calorie burn...It "encourages" me when I'm running to reach a "calorie" burn goal....and seems to be very accurate!

Do Marathon housework....decide what you want to accomplish, set a timer and get it done! It's amazing how much more focused and "busy" I stay when I do this....keeps me from being sidetracked!

Wow...I'm not a nutritionist but the "mom" in me would think that a good homemade Chocalate Chip cookie would be heathier than COOKIE CRISP! My kids (grown now) would never eat those....However my 18 year old daughter could live on cocoa crispies/cocoa pebble/Reeses Puffs though :-) If I had my kids to raise over ...I…

Does it have aspartame in it???? If so, be careful. I prefer the CHOBANI'S Greek yogurts...a little more calories but a great source of protein and no artificial sweetners. The Pineapple (fruit on the bottom) is delicious and the OIKOS has a caramel greek yogurt (I buy it in a 4-pack 4 oz at walmart) and dip apple slices…

I don't do P90X but I do INSANITY.....I found that once I purchase a HRM and got actual burn I was much more successful on here....I had been using aerobics and MFP gave me a burn of nearly 200 to 300 more than my actual burn once I had a HRM. This of course was not good when eating back calories :-( If you are serious…

weights working the triceps.....hold arms with weights up over head, elbows by ears, palms facing each other...slowly bend elbows 90* so the weights are behind your head.....you can use 5,8, or 10 lbs and see a change....

I never log "normal" daily chores...unless I'm pressed for time and do a Marathon vacuum, dust, sweep dash through the house...then I actually wear my HRM and try to get it done in a set time. The only time I "counted" cooking was the day I "foolishly" agreed to head up the Wild Game Dinner at our church.....cooking for…

when you get more excited about new "work-out" clothes and NIKES and find yourself "shopping" at sports stores more than department stores!

Push ups are very hard for most women! I haven't done Shred but I did the 60 day INSANITY challenge (missed only 1 day out of 60), then completed the first month again and for the past two months I've been mixing Max INSANITY (second month) and a Bob Harper upper body strength workout. When I first started I could go down…

Ten pounds is more than 10% of your goal!!! I always envision butter or crisco......think what 10 lbs of either of that looks like and then "envision" that much "fat" is no longer on your body.....for me, when I lose as little as a 1/2 lb I think two sticks of butter gone!!! Might be silly ..... but it is an encouragement…

My "guess" is yes...I'm new to running and have been doing INSANTY for several months....Summer finally arrived here in NW PA and I noticed that my HR according to my HRM gets up faster the warmer and especially the more humid the day is.....so I think our bodies are working to "cool" and therefore increasing our HR &…

Sometimes those measurements that equal your size are so messed up!!!! I ordered a pair of "expensive" jeans that Oprah raved about on her show....you entered your measurements ...they sent your "size"....I couldnt get them on past mid-thigh!!!! How "fat" do you think that made me "feel"?????ughhhhh Size numbers mean…

OK ... guess MFP is just collecting recipes at this time...Heres the BEAUTY SMOOTHIE recipe. It's called BEAUTY because it is full of antioxidants! 2 cold oranges 1/2 cup chopped Mango *I use frozen* 1 med carrot peeled and shredded 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt (I use Greek to up the protein) 2 tbs wheat germ 2 tbs ground…

I entered a recipe callled BEAUTY SMOOTHIE into MFP's recipes.....guess you could look for it and see if you can bring it up. I've never tried so I guess you can find out if I knew what I was doing when I entered it. :-)

I count it as water when I add the packets.....not sure what the 'RULE" is though??? Sometimes I need the flavor to get all my water in for the day. I do NOT count my coffee/tea. Most of the flavoring packets are zero calories...I would count any calories.
