First half kills me! Butt and quads are beyond on fire - gonna need a walker tomorrow.

My tip is Hot Tea. Whenever I want to attack the candy bowl at work, I make myself a cup of straight hot tea (no sugar, no honey, no milk or cream). It does the trick every time. Sometimes I drink like 5 cups of tea in one afternoon but it works for me. Green tea, earl grey, and tazo refresh are my favs.

Define Upper Body - done! Have to do Core tonight after work tho - I should have done it yesterday morning but I procrastinated, got too busy and ending up getting in way too late to do it. Doh! But tonight, it's on.

I think I'm down another lb this week. Total lost: 2.6lbs I pretty happy with this as it's more than 1lb/week. I did Sweat today and was able to go deeper into several positions - Yay! Still a very hard workout - those wide stance squats at the end - aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! I die.

Ahh - all our schedules do match. :D I glossed over it in Week 5, but there it is on mine as well. Hopefully I'll be ready for when it comes. Everything has been pretty hard to me tho.

Had to make today my rest day due to an epic chiro adjustment I had yesterday. My lower back, left side is sooooooooooo sore. Feels better in some ways but the soreness is still pretty intense. Hoping by tomorrow morning I will be ready to go. If not morning, I'll do it after work. Fingers crossed that it feels tons better…

Way to go! Great results for one week! I already ate breakfast so I will weigh in tomorrow. But as of yesterday I had not lost or gained. Holding steady at 148. I know I have had too much sodium this week, but I still need to tighten up my eating. I'm also very lazy about logging food so there's that.

I'm injured (low back/SI Joint). My usual go-to workouts (Turbo Fire and Zumba) were killing me even when modifying. I have poor core strength and zero flexibility b/c I've always hated yoga and ab workouts. (Which is why I probably got injured in the first place.) So PiYo could not be more perfect for me now. I'm weirdly…

Soooo... my abs, particularly the sides or obliques, are starting to feel sore. Didn't realize I was even using them that much. yay!

So I remember that working out is only part of the journey.

Day1, Align - done. I'm totally new to PiYo so I have no idea what to expect. However, I was ready for a workout and this was more of a tutorial. So I feel like I haven't started yet, I guess tomorrow will be the real start. I can tell it's going to be challenging for my lower back and wrists already, so I'm a little…

I just ordered PiYo - still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I'm very excited and joining the challenge. Age: 38 Weight: 147 Goal Weight: 130 Biggest struggle: The MENTAL Challenge of maintaining a high level of motivation and willpower.

Thank you! I just ordered it - can't wait to start!

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE TurboFire (cardio) and ChaLean Extreme (lifting). They are both from Beachbody, created by trainer, Chalene Johnson. Worth every penny. Others I've tried: Insanity - too rough on my body and I wasn't having fun - just dreading it. Brazilian Butt Lift - a couple of great workouts but not great as…

Only had 30 min this morning - so I did half of Fire 60 only because I'm really bored with Fire 30.

Coconut Milk Creamer!!! I've tried almond milk and soy milk and there is something off with these - too thin, weird aftertaste, just didn't care for either. Coconut milk creamer (not just coconut milk), in my opinion, is a closer match to regular creamer in taste and mouth feel. "So Delicious" makes it in plain, french…

I followed the schedule to the letter and completed the program but didn't really stop when the schedule ended. I just continued with my favorites, randomly playing them over and over. I did this for about a year and then life happened, things got crazy and dropped the ball. It's been about a year since I've done TF and I…

I got the "Fitbit One" for Christmas and was pretty disappointed. It was not very accurate for steps, stairs and really off on calories. Plus I had to reset it twice due to zeroing out and not tracking any data/movements. I have friends who rave about theirs so maybe I got a lemon, but I had to return it. Syncing with MFP…

I tried it - gave it 2 solid weeks. It was hard and kicked my butt but it's do-able. Don't be scared, just don't try to do as much as fast as the people in the video - you'll die. Just do what YOU can do and watch your endurance improve. I was amazed at how fast my endurance improved and I was doing more and more everyday.…

Usually 6 days a week: Zumba 2x, Body Pump 2x & NROL 2x. Occasionally I'll go 7 days/week or double up on classes 1 night/week.

Hot Tea or Gum. Every time I get a craving I do one of these instead and it usually works. The less sugar I eat, the less I crave it. Don't look at my diary tho - I've been falling down a lot as of late which reminds me, I need to buy more tea and gum.

CHALEAN EXTREME!!!!!!!!! I had great results with it. Got to my lowest weight ever and had actual muscle definition. And I looked forward to doing it. It's fun and goes by quickly even tho the pace is slower. Still hard and challenging tho for sure.

I used to eat frozen meals ALL THE TIME and loved them but stopped because of the high sodium. I tried Amy's low sodium and they were not that great - salt makes a big difference with these imo. Now I eat cashew butter sandwiches, salads, and wraps and I feel more satisfied. I get more food with less calories and sodium…

"Designer Whey" http://designerwhey.com/products/powders/ Husband and I both tried many many brands and flavors. Designer Whey tastes the best, like a delicious indulgent shake, only it's really good for you. Our favorite flavors: strawberry and double chocolate.

2009 Volvo S40 - loves it!

1. Dishwasher Loading - he put bowls in upside down so they just collect water! 2. He uses our dining room table to store his outerwear, bags and general crap when there is a hall closet 2 feet away! 3. He gets mad at me when I get sick - like it's my fault or I did it on purpose!

As I understand it you're supposed to do both by alternating A and B Workouts. So my 1st week has looked like this: Mon - A, Thursday - B, Saturday - A Next week I'll do this: Mon - B, Wed - A, Fri - B.

My gym has those Plyometric Boxes. I think I'm using the 12" one. May move onto the next height on the next A workout tho.
