The triceps kill me too. They are so much weaker than the rest of my arms or shoulders. I did Push 3 this morning and it was good. this is my 2nd week of the push phase (it is different only lifting 6-8 reps) but she keeps you moving so fast you are really tired my the end.:explode:

Thanks for the post, it is slow going for me too! The scale is not moving as much as I am toning and losing inches. I can see a difference in my body but I wish the scale would be moving too. I have lost 10lbs since January and I am like you; some days stay right on track others treat myself. I keep reminding myself this…

I do use protein powder, right now I am using a cytrosport muscle milk cookies and cream lean protein powder , it is a blend of whey and caseinates proteins ( I really like the taste) I am still learning about the protein powder, I have heard a lot of people say Optimum is the best but it is really expensive!

I am ready for a beer or cocktail too! I had some wine on Tuesday night and really wanted to tonight but held off. Tomorrow is Friday so I will tomorrow night. I don't think I am going to get under my weight this week (even with the stupid shake diet for 2 meals) That is okay though. I know I am getting stronger and I am…

Nice2Bfit - Yes I do hate when the day sucks the life out of me!:grumble: :grumble: I tell you the only thing that has been saving me is my morning workouts. I don't know if I could find the energy after work anymore the way it has been lately & lunch is like "what lunch"? Spring is a busy time for my office so it will get…

Hope u all had a great day! I am whooped after a long day. I had a personal challenge this week to get in some extra cardio every day but I failed today. Too swamped at work & got home after 6 UGH:sad: Kellysue - good job for taking the opportunity to walk to your meeting! Thats what it is about, healthy lifestyle!! Have…

Ldeegirl- that is a great reminder to not let ourselves get to caught up on the scale number. It is hard not to. I just did push 2 this morning, it was good & my shoulders are sore! I do my workouts at 6 am. How about the rest of you? It is challenging getting up early before work but worth it.:noway:

Hi all, I just found this group! I am doing the CLX push phase week 2, in love with the program & have hope for the 1st time in along time that I can get my body back the way it used to be. Look forward to chatting with you all!

Lucky you on Spring Break! I am jealous!:wink: It looks like it is just the two of us still out here on the board:bigsmile: I am trying really hard this week, I am been drinking protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and eating fruit in between if hungry and then trying to eat a good dinner. I got so mad when I got on the…

Beeps - I know how you feel, when I am done for the day I am exhausted also, the colder climate we live in does not help either. Now that the weather is a little better it is helping but it is still cold. I live in the country so sometimes I will just try to start with a small walk to the end of road and then once I get…

awesome Eava on losing last week!!! I did pretty good too but my weekend was not so good ( I got on the scale this morning, oh oh. :blushing: ) I hope it is water retain from the bad choices I made this weekend. Today I walk at lunch! I will have to go on the treadmill as I woke up to snow this morning and COLD weather. I…

Nice2Bfit - CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING TO YOUR GOAL WEIGHT:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: That is awesome news! You have motivated me today. Cardigirl - I like the sounds of a delicious body... I will have to bump up the miles. It seems like since i started my lifting program my cardio has taken a backseat. I hope you all…

The weekend is here, YEAH! That is awesome your Capris fit when you pulled them out, that is always a fragile moment. :noway: :noway: I am going shopping tomorrow and may look for a couple new summer things. I had a good weigh in this morning but then had a work lunch and my husband brought home take out tonight (fried…

Beeps - thanks for the article, so true and great tips for us humans! Kelly Sue - Ouch on your leg, I hope it is better by tomorrow. Great job for finishing the rest of your workout and powering through it. Whatabroad - Nice to hear from you again. That is awesome you are moving into your new place and have room to set up…

Hi Eava, I hope you are making it through those challenges those week. OMG girl that is alot of temptations! I went to a meeting this morning and now back at work. I am feeling better and stronger again. The pity party has passed. I am going to try to lose 3lbs by the end of the month. My workouts in the mornings are going…

Awesome Day Everyone! Alf - Amazing pics!!! You abs are incredible, I can only dream of abs like that someday! WTG & keep us all on our game:smile: My son told me the other day I was starting to get a six pack... it was so cute, I cannot see it yet but at least he could see something there. Nice2Bfit - that is awesome you…

Good Morning Cook Kids, Momof bug - so sorry to hear of your cat passing away. I lost my daschuand who was 13, 2 years ago and it was horrible. Still feel the void. I found the rainbow bridge Alf mentioned and it really helped me too. Kellysue - I like your suggestion on not logging exercise... I am bouncing around too…
-
Hi Eava, Thanks for the encouragement. I will work on not weighing and trying to make good choices. I did have my thyroid checked about a year ago and it came back normal. I think one of the hardest things for me is I have an office job so I don't get any movement during the day unless I walk at lunch (I am going to try to…

Hi Gals, I am really struggling right now. I am getting tired of counting calories, & have not been tracking new as much of the time. UHGGGGG, I don't even know what to say. I went to do my measurements & stopped because they were not looking good. I am not sure if I screwed up the 1st time I measured (used a tape measure…

Happy Friday, I demand that the sick bug leave everyone in this group. I know we are all close and everthing but COME ON!!! LOL :laugh: So much going on in the thread I am having a hard time keeping up. Still crazy at work and I just want to scream because I don't have time to think. I will do my measurements this weekend…

I asked Sasbw to extend the google weight loss calendar and she said she would, I don't want to lose our group/thread... I hope we can keep it going. Zaza, if it makes you feel better I think 95% of the weight loss/ maintenance comes down to our diets. I did not want to accept that and I still am struggling with that but…

Sederski - I know how you feel about not having enough "alone" time. My husband was on longer hours and now he switched positions and is home before I get home at night most days. I don't really like it, I feel rushed and don't feel as motivated to walk or do things for myself. I was trying to shoe shop one day and he was…

Oh Mondays hurt!!! I am home after a long day at work. Work has been so busy lately I have been barely getting a lunch and no time to get any cardio in. I wish I had more time but a busy business is good too I guess. I am still getting in the morning workouts thank goodness! Beeps - I hope you are doing better & have a…
-
Happy Monday!!! Why do they always feel so tiring!:ohwell: I am finished with a day of work and home now. I was going to try to do cardio at lunch but I have been so busy at work I cannot get away from my desk. I am not liking it. I am still keeping up with my morning workouts 5 days a week. Cleaneater - congratulations on…
-
weigh in tomorrow, I hope we all do good! I have been getting good workouts in this week and doing "ok" on the eating. Would like to be a little lower on calories but doing the best I can. Long term right? I had some sciatic nerve pain today at the end of my workout so I hope that does not flare up, I finish week 3 of…
-
Beeps - I feel for you! :flowerforyou: I was so sick a few weeks ago I wanted to die. I hope it passes soon and you start to feel better. Mine went in waves like that too. Keep and eye on in case you have some kind of infection & need medication. Kellysue = that is great news on your doctor appt keep up the great work. I…

Nice2BFit - Thanks for the encouragement! It is good to know someone else is suffering early mornings with me. Our weather is supposed to start turning better too around 40 but we had 8 again this morning BRRRR. I am ready to get outside and run in the fresh air also. Alf - postive energy is coming to you from me too!…

Eava - your dinner last night sounds awesome, I am jealous!!:sad: Enjoy your week with your son I am with you we cannot get those times back and we have to make the most of them. Where does he go to college? My son is in 7th grade and growing up too fast. We had a break from him last weekend when he went to a friends…

Did my lifting this morning at 6 am and it was great! I am going to do cardio on the treadmill at lunch at BURN as many calories as on can. I am looking forward to it. It sounds weird but I am really starting to like the morning workouts. NEVER thought I would say that. Kellysue - that is wonderful you are seeing all those…

Alf - I understand why you are feeling down. Exercise totally changes my mood too & I can get really down if I do not exercise. I think you need to focus on getting yourself better so you do not make your injury last longer. Do you think you could do some sort of swimming? I am thinking something low impact? The other…
