Smiles, my scale #'s haven't dropped much, which I was expecting, going from basically nothing to tons of exercise, but the best thing I've done to get over the # thing was I took pictures at the start and I've taken new ones every week. I'll be pissed about my weight and then look at my current pictures compared to my 1st…

I've been a slacker with posting this week, but I got my workouts in. Mon I painted all day at my neighbors house and by the time I was done I was too tired, so I did chest, shoulder, & tris with ARX AND Plyo on Tues. I think I'm crazy. I was so sore the next day I did Core Syn. instead of Back and Biceps. Thurs was Yoga…

Way to go on Legs & Back and ARX! That one's a toughie, but such a great workout. I got my Kenpo X in today and I am starting to like it more and more. It was pretty rough on me the 1st time since I have no coordination with moves like that, but I get a little better every time. Enjoy your weekend, friends!

Hey guys. I got my yoga in today but I was just NOT into it. I haven't felt like this for a while, but maybe it's because I'm getting sick. But I did it and I am glad I did. Smiles: I know several people have answered, but I log everything in as cardio. I am also TRYING to do doubles, so on my strength training days I do a…

I got my Plyo workout in today and burned 568 calories doing it! Awesome! My weight has only gone down 4 lbs this past month, but I am seeing huge differences in my body in how it looks AND it how it feels. I :heart: P90x!

Smiles, Chase is doing well for right now. We're not sure of all of the details, but he went home with a defribrillator, and they have to watch him closely for signs that his heart is struggling. He's too small right now for a transplant and not sick enough, so they basically have to wait for him to be older and have heart…

I did my Chest, Shoulders & Triceps and ARX plus I am trying to do doubles since I'm now in my 2nd month so I did spinning on my bike for 30 minutes. I just am not a huge fan of Cardio X, plus, my baby wouldn't have let me alone for that long! Feels so good to be done working out for the day. Funny thing during the…

I just have to say that I :heart: all of you so much! Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for my little nephew, Chase. I ended up not getting cardio x in yesterday because of time, but I did the Bum Bum workout from Brazil Butt Lift (don't laugh, it KILLS!) and got a decent burn in. Today is yoga x and I'm getting…

It's really complicated, but his heart muscle is having to work too hard in one area, so that area thickens and then is blocking the Mitral Valve, which lets blood into the main ventricle which pumps blood to the rest of the body. My RN hubby is behind me, explaining this. He has a 33% chance of being ok on meds, a 33%…

I did my Kenpo X today. It was a really hard day; just found out my little 1 year old nephew has cardiomyopothy. Pretty sad, but he's stable. I let my emotions get out of control, so I am just proud that I did the workout. Only X stretch tomorrow, which I must admit I am looking forward to. Smiles: I love seeing you on…

Can I join? I started p90x on the 27th, but just now getting back on MFP. I'm loving the workouts and feeling really healthy and strong. It's nice to see how much more of the workouts I can do since I started.

Kim, I'm still here, just plugging away. Nothing yesterday. I was trying to completely rest the shin area. I was/am kinda worried I might have a stress fracture. I've had shin splints a million times, but not like this, where I feel like my bones are being jarred. Today was yoga for 90 min. Only 175 for the week, but…

My shins have been hurting pretty intensely lately :cry: and I just couldn't stand all the jumping, so I did Shred L1. It still killed but at least I had some breaks in between. 25+55=80 for today. We'll see what I am able to do tomorrow.

55 min. of run/walk intervals. I'm hoping to get in BFBM too, if my little ones will let me. :laugh:

Happy Saturday! I got in another C25K for 31 min. and then NMTZ for 52, so my weekly total is 394! I can't believe I made, plus some! It was a good week and it will hopefully be as good, if not better next week. I hope you all are doing great, with whatever you are able to get in. Have a great weekend!

My Dr. called yesterday and all of my results were normal. No thyroid, diabetes, cholesterol. So basically no reason for not losing weight. It sucks, but what can I do? I feel better when I eat healthy and exercise, it's just a part of me, but things like this do make me occasionally want to eat a whole box of Cinnamon…

Janet, I am so sorry to hear how you're feeling. Were you weighed on the same scale as normal? I don't know what could have been causing that much of a weight gain. It doesn't seem normal, like maybe something with the scale is off? I am with you on the calorie tracking. I ate a bunch of junk on Sat, but with the exercise…

We like Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones and also her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, along with Shred. So hard, but such great workouts. They rock!

Hey friends, 90 minutes of yoga, 30 minutes of c25k. Very, very good day. I felt great and feel even better now. You know those days? Weekly total is 327 so far, but I will be playing softball later today. Does that count too? Smiles, I am so glad that things are better. You are so amazing, I know you can't help but…

I am getting ready yo head to 90 minutes of yoga. I'm excited! It's been over 2 weeks since I have been able to go. Weekly total so far: 177 minutes

I just wanted to update my stats for the day, since I ended up with more than I posted earlier. I did Shred level 3, and I biked for 35 minutes, on top of the c25k so my total for the day was 87. I plan on going to yoga tomorrow for at least 90 and then we'll see what else I decide to throw in. I am really upset right now,…

Okay, no more slacking for me! I did nothing yesterday, but my eating was perfect, so that's definitely a step in the right direction! Today I have done a c25k workout (gotta ease back into the running with my asthma!), 25 min. biking, and Shred level 1 so 72 minutes total. Maybe I will feel like getting out again tonight.…

I am having a very hard time motivating myself, guys! I feel like I lost all momentum when I was gone and now it's hard being back and my husband on-call all the time, so I can't really go anywhere. I did force myself to get on the bike for 25 minutes today, which considering that I was totally rebelling, is pretty good…

Janet, I am back and so in! Philly was insane, and I did not do well, but I am here and ready to get back on the wagon. What exactly do you classify as cardio? My HR maintained at a certain %, so I couldn't count my yoga too? This will make me have to work so I don't get bored with just Jillian's stuff and my spin bike. I…

Aaaggghhh! You are leaving me?!?!? :laugh: I just got back from Philly last night and I am pooped! I only got a workout in on the day I left (the 26th) and I think on the 3rd; NMTZ. I was there taking care of my SIL's house, kids everything and it was so hard. I was exhausted and there just wasn't time to exercise except…

Smiles, we are so in the same mindset! I biked for 50 minutes and then did BFBM. It was nuts but I did almost the same thing the other day (actually, less biking) and I felt much better this time. My body is getting used to it or something. And, I have been having this strange craving for pizza and figured I might as well…

Kim, I know what you mean about quality of life. My husband did have a hard time seeing all the things people were doing to keep their older family members alive, only to be sick and in pain longer. We're both along the lines that if it's our time, it's our time and not go to extremes to extend life. Everyone has their own…

Yeah! It's a killer, but such a good workout. Definitely try it. I have a love/hate relationship with it, but a lot more love. :laugh:

I have been taking them for about a week and a half. I have been counting calories, exercising, doing everything that everyone says to do and I have only lost 1.4 lbs since January. It sucks, so I gave in a tried something new. I haven't really lost anything much, but I do feel like I have more energy and the weight I have…

Hello friends! Today has been rough. I woke up and went right to yoga, but I don't think I had been drinking enough before. I felt really light-headed and like I was going to throw up, which has never happened before. I was sick and shaky after, I still am actually. I thought maybe I haven't been eating enough carbs to…
