Sederski - I am glad you had good travels. The colors sound amazing where you are at, ours in WI are not quite there yet as we are behind you. I hope your run goes well today. With B&B in full swing with fall colors do what you can but be forgiving to yourself. Kate - I am glad your cold is getting a little better. I…

Y'all are motivating me..... got up this morning and did my morning workout ~ 2 miles of jogging followed by upper body workout. The last time I did my workout before heading to work was in June. Thanks for this group and kick starting me again.

Hello All! Kelly - I am sorry to hear your day has started out so icky, I am very sorry to hear of your husbands cousin passing. My prayers are with you.:flowerforyou: Knocked off 2 mile run this morning and upper body work out after my cardio. Deep Breath..... it felt great. I have to find time for myself again. Today is…

I am still alive but even walking hurts, Friday, Saturday & Sunday were spent building the ceiling in our pole shed. I have now learned how to use scaffoling (I was kneeling 10 feet in the air for about 10 hours Saturday) learned how to use an air staple gun and a power drill to put in sheet metal screws. My body hurts…

Good morning everyone, I hope you all have a great day! Weather is supposed to be 71 today and just about perfect. I will be going outside for some cardio after work tonight. Poor son is still sick today and at home resting. I hope this passes for him soon.

Larro-Amen to that & very well said sederski -your granddaughter sounds adorable & I loved your story. I only have my son & being the girly girl I am I hope to be blessed with a granddaughter some day. Please keep the dance updates coming. carmel - I am so impressed by your gym workouts & the variety you have. No gym for…

I am so freakin sore today. Does using a joist hanger nail gun count as a work out? We are trying to finish our inside of our 40x48 pole shed and we hung about 45 boards yesterday building our ceiling. Ouch, I am not good at construction. :laugh: NBFI & Golden Guy -welcome to our group glad you can join us JFM - great news…

Good morning all! I hope you all have a wonderful day. I love all the encouragement and advice we offer each other. I am very blessed to have found such a great group of motivating friends:flowerforyou: I have noticed the 40+ club friends have a lot of determination. I think more determination than some of us had 20 years…

Sederski - thanks for the tip on the almond meal. Have you ever ground your own almond meal? I have a Ninja Blender and I am wondering if I can just basically grind the almonds to make meal? Hmmm something I can google. It sounds like your workout with your g/f was really good. I have a friend that runs marathons, we used…

Let's make it a positive day everyone! Kelly Sue - congrats on 20 year anniversary, time to celebrate:drinker: I hope you find a house on Saturday. Handy Andy - that will be so nice to see your family, enjoy! Caramel - way to stay strong and keep on keeping on. Even if it was not your best workout it was still better than…

Good Afternoon Everyone. All this talk about berries and grapes is making me hungry. Me and my son worked out together both Saturday and Sunday this week and it was awesome. My husband even went walking with us on Saturday (and that never happens). I started back on trying to cook clean last week and it felt really good.…

Caramel - you are making me hurt just reading about this class. It is amazing what we can do if we put 100% in. My sister competes in bodybuilding and she started personally training clients this past summer. She is an animal. She came down to my house for a 4th of July party and that morning her and some friends went for…

Larro - great pictures of the gourds, they look kind of creepy but cool. Beeps - Glad to hear your electrical problem was not a major one. I had my washer break down in July and it was a month before the repair guy could finally get it fixed. The main computer board went out and they had to order the part, when the new…

Hey Kids...checking into to say hello. I tried to read through the posts to catch up since I have been MIA for a while. Beeps - I am so sad to hear about your lay off from your job. I hope you find something better soon. I always say one door has to close for a better one to open. Way to stay motivated with your self…

Hello Sunday morning! On our way to a baseball tournament! Weather is looking nice but humidity is supposed to come up. my stamped patio & sidewalks are finally completed & they turned out awesome now I am working on landscaping around the area. Fun stuff! beeps- love the pics you look awesome & your arms look incredible…

It must be 2014 with the slump/gain weight!!! I was doing so good until around May & then things went the other direction. I honestly have to say I have not weighed because I do not know what I will see. I am trying to get my head back in the game & making slow changes each week, although I think beeps may have the right…

Amazing, you look like a different person!!! How long did it take you? You have inspired me.

Susan - good job!!! I made it the lean phase & only made it about 2 weeks....sigh. My schedule got off track & I never got back on. I am trying to start again next week. My mind is getting ready, now my body needs to follow LOL:blushing:

Beeps - Can't wait to hear about your diner en blanc party, that sounds awesome. That is a great feeling to wear your new white dress and look fabulous in it. BONUS!!! Caramel - the 5k will go great for you:smile: I have wanted to run a race and just never have done it, we have one in our town in Sept. you are encouraging…

I hope you all had a wonderful day! My garden veggies are starting to come on so that is awesome. Made a delicious salad with fresh peppers, cherry tomatoes, fresh brocoli, onions, peas & cheddar cheese. It feels so good to eat your own produce.

Hello to all. Caramel, Stay strong and positive, you have accomplished so much & should be very proud of yourself:flowerforyou: I know if was hard to hear that you may need to have surgery to remove your excess skin but the positive part is you can do that if you want to. You are now at the point you can make that next…

Beeps - thanks for the advice. Your all white party sounds fun...I have never heard of those parties. Good to hear u accomplished your shopping. kelly - your run this morning sounds like it was awesome, there is nothing like that runners high in perfect weather. Caramel - I really like your quote today, totally motivated…

Thanks Emmalusmom!!:flowerforyou: I am going to do a workout at lunch on my treadmill at work. Lunchtime used to be the time I always found time to get in the cardio/running 2 miles of more and I need to get back in that habit. I need the weights too and I will try to find a way to get those back in too but for today…

I have totally lost making time for me & in a hugh slump. Exercise is becoming a thing of the past & it makes me disgusted with myself!!! Everything around me is so crazy & I have no extra energy morning or night for me time. I know a big part of the burnout is because I am not taking the time for my health. In the past…

Hello All, It has been a while since I checked in. It sounds like everyone is doing great and trying new things. Awesome! I am just maintaining but I will take that with the way the last couple of months have been. Life has been crazy with work and my son's baseball schedule; trying to cordinate rides to practices and…

BCMOM- good for you, I think you will like Push Phase, when 1st started it I was not so sure because you will be working one area at a time versus on Burn doing lower and upper together but once I got going I really liked it and built great upper body strength and started to see definition in my arms!!! Great Job for…

WELCOME JULES!!! I look forward to chatting with you too. Great job on committing to lifting heavy weights, you cannot go wrong when building muscle. I think you will really like this program. I started working on it a few months ago & I am in the lean phase:noway:

I agree I think L3 in the hardest too I switched up my lifting mornings this week to Tues, Thurs & Sat due to late night baseball games on Tuesday and Thursday nights and making those other mornings really hard to get up so early and feel energized.... I did L1 yesterday and it went good, I am not sore today so I think I…

Hi Girls, completed the Lean 3 today, it went pretty good. I was really sore in the middle of the week but feeling much better. I know my arms and back were really hurting. Dee - I did not know you have done this program so many times before, thank you for sharing that with me. That is good to know as I think I want to…

Ldeegirl - I started the Lean for 1 week and then struggled so I took a break. I just restarted today and it felt good and like the right time:) I had the energy and it felt new again. It is really challenging though using both lower and upper together and the workouts are a little longer. I think you will like it. I think…
