My quad pull turned out to be a lot more troublesome than previously thought. I'm not back to doing T25 yet, because I'm afraid the squats and lunges will aggravate it again, but I am doing Cize until I'm ready.

No workouts for me for a few days. It got to the point where I could barely walk last night. I got an Arctic Ease bandage and sat wrapped up for a couple hours before bed. It's not nearly as bad this morning, but I still can't walk normally. I will be re-doing week 4 next week for sure.

I pulled my quad again, much worse this time. I'm really upset about it. I felt like I was really making progross, getting better and better at it, able to modify less and less...then BAM. Gonna try to do tomorrow's, but if I'm still hurting, I'll re-do week 4. :neutral:

How's everyone doing? Total Body Circuit today. Didn't nail it, but I made it!

Ughgh. I pulled something in my thigh about 5 minutes into Cardio today. I was trying to do the whole thing unmodified, and I landed weird, and OUCH. I finished it, but it hurt. Hopefully it's just a minor pull and won't have an effect on the rest of my week!

Marina - I switch Friday and Saturday usually, because it's much easier to do a double workout on Saturday than it is on Friday (time-wise). But I had to take my "rest" on Wednesday because of some work stuff, so it screwed up my schedule. BUT I just did "double Saturday," and you're right -- Shaun nearly killed me with Ab…

Had to take an unexpected day off yesterday because of work stuff, so I'm rearranging the schedule to stay on track and it's all okay. I did Lower Focus today and, weirdly, didn't hate it as much as I have the other times. I mean, my legs are still jelly, but I didn't find it nearly as terrible as I have in the past.…

Yesterday was my Speed 1.0 day too and it was (almost) a breeze! Today is my nemesis Lower Focus, but I'm ready to conquer it.

Marinabrazil -- I think I just like all the punching in TBC... haha.

Ahh, this is how I feel about Lower Focus! I don't know why, but Total Body doesn't kill me even close to as hard as Lower Focus. ...And Ab Intervals is just mean (my dog won't let me do it in peace, either). Haha. After taking the weekend off, I'm actually eager to get back to it. Total Body Circuit is today. But yeah,…

Ahhh. Yesterday and today were rough. Since I'm leaving in just a few minutes to go out of town, I switched Friday and Thursday (so I could get the double workout done and leave earlier today with only Cardio to get done). I have a couple of minor, but nagging injuries (top of my left foot is pulled? sprained? Is that a…

Great job! I also did NOT want to do my workout today. I was feeling really tired and lethargic and just really wanted to skip it, but did it anyway. I didn't feel good about the workout, and I wasn't even proud of myself for just getting it done. After the workout I took my dog to the park and met a woman who had been in…

Day 1, Week 2 done. I'm noticing I'm able to do the non-modified versions WAY more now than when I started!

Double workout day done! Lower Focus turned my legs to jello, but I'm glad I did it first and got it over with. I took my dog to the park and ran some errands in between the two workouts so I could get my legs working again before Cardio.

Thanks! Ab Intervals done. I may or may not have cried just a little bit... Gosh, Shaun, that's hard! (I'm glad he couldn't hear all of the things I was yelling at him.) I switch Friday and Saturday since it's much easier to do two workouts on a Saturday than it is to do them on a Friday, so tomorrow is rest day. (YAY.)

I started it this past Monday, but would still like checking in too.

Day 2 done yesterday -- nothing much to report, other than I am not nearly in as good shape as I was in the last time I did T25. I used to only follow Tania when I needed a breather, but now I'm basically following her 80-ish percent of the time and jumping in non-modified when I can. Majorly bummed, but I know I'll get…

I just re-started T25 yesterday -- I'd love to just keep checking in here for some accountability. I've done it before, but didn't finish it (or even move on to Beta). I love Shaun T, though, and I've done Insanity, Cize, Max30 (again, I've never finished any of them - but just do workouts here and there, depending on…

Just chiming in that FitBit has great customer service, if that makes a difference to you. Mine stopped charging and officially died on Friday. They had a new one in my hands the following Monday (yesterday).

I just finished day 2 of Alpha (Speed 1.0). Loving it so far. I go in to work at 7am, so I'd always told myself I could not work out in the morning. But I realized with a 25 minute workout, I CAN do it in the morning without having to get up that much earlier. And it feels really good to come to work still buzzing from the…

See a doctor. I had the same experience. I won't go into everything I was doing, but I was exercising my butt off and definitely NOT eating too many calories. I saw a doctor and (I'm being intentionally vague here) was diagnosed and given medication to correct the disorder. Since I started taking it, doing the exact same…

I cube mine and marinate it in a bowl with soy sauce, cider vinegar, and a splash of olive oil (I don't measure, but should be mostly soy sauce, so 2 parts ss to 1 part each vinegar and oil). Throw on a pan in an oven preheated to 400 degrees, check it after 20 minutes, flip, check it again after 15 (this really depends on…

Starting back up on Week 1 with a group from another forum. I got spreadsheets this time to keep me on track. Today is cardio. I am most likely going to go for a run and count that as my cardio, though I might do the video too. It's just too nice outside to skip running. A front came through and it's about 20 degrees…

I like when someone asks, "Anyone here Paleo?" Um, yeah, just about everyone?

What kind of tracker do you use? How long are your practices? When I skated, even during our 3 hour practices, I was only around 800 calories (I was over 200lbs). Even when we did almost all endurance with minimal breaks. We had some visiting skaters when a skater from from Boston led practice and at the end one of them…

Oh! I remember those. I like them. You know, in an "I can't wait until this is over" kinda way.

I must've skipped a page, because I just saw this. UGH. Why can't people leave us alone? They are doing us more harm than good, and pretty transparently only doing it to stroke their own egos. They can leave thinking, "I used my vast superior knowledge to help someone at the gym. I'm a great person!" ...when in reality,…

Thanks for this! ...Ever since my run-in, I haven't had the courage to go back to my gym. I'm still working up to it, but I guess it really affected me. I thought that was something I got over a long time ago, fear and apprehension about working out in front of other people. That girl smashed all my progress and courage.…

Oh, I'll do this. This is my ..uh, 5th? time starting JMBR. The last time through I got to workouts 9 & 10 and just kind of was burnt out with the frequent workouts (I was also running and playing roller derby) and well, they just got really hard. I couldn't do a few of the exercises and I just kind of eventually stopped…

There's a group here for JMBR. It's not super active, so hopefully more join.
