Hi everyone...I am Carolyn, 44 and in basic good shape. I've been up and down on the scale, and in clothing sizes. BUT I am trying not to let the latest "pudge" from my winter slacker behavior get to me! I just feel dumpy, and my clothes were getting just a pinch tight again! TIME TO NIP IT IN THE BUD (or BUTT!) I've done…

Hi...I am into the 40's; I hit it hard going in, was in great form for a while and now am slacking off and DONT want to repeat what I went thru by the time I am going into the next decade. SO at 44 I am re-committing to doing things the healthy way. Feel free to add me too!

Oh, right! I forgot, fruits and granola or grape nuts are another way to enjoy :)

I love using the Plain fat free greek yogurt in smoothies...any combination I have thought of has been great and filling and refreshing!

You are right about the reverse push-ups...I have to find a sub for that, but good ol'regular pushups work too :) although the variations are what keep me interested in doing these workouts. I just did an old one I found in the BRtv "archives" (The O-Face wrkout!) and now taking my dog for a nice long walk before I go out…

I have been thinking about adding the dip station, but I have 2 folding chair that are working fine for now!...i just have to pad the handles better, the tops of chairs are kind of hard on the grip/wrists...its something to save for and look forward to. I have adjustable dumbells so I use that in place of sandbags ..gallon…

I have logged them in under both Intervals/circuit training and Calisthenics, depending on the rest of my wrkout, and seems to be generally wrking fine as far as the tracking in general for total cals burned and food intake goes....

Fifty down! more to come.....

you can google instructions, or just check on youtube for a variety of "DIY TRX" insturctions! I just did the other day, and now have a set up in my basement gym from pieces I already had at home!!!! Have fun with it!!!

I like that "NSV"! I'd say they are more important than numbers :D

I was wondering, how do any of you log the workouts? Cardio Intervals? Calisthenics? I have yet to wear my HRM doing the BodyRock w/o's to get a comparisson going... Have a Rockin Day :P

I agree with the calories...in general, any hard workouts require you to eat enought o re-fuel and keep from breaking down!(Oh, I have done P90X, added X+ and Insanity in the past 2 yrs) ... use this site to lo all your stats, food and exercise, and you'll see how much you need to keep your energy/nutrition up and what you…

you and me both Desirai!

I just finished my first BR w/o (the June 4th post) and I loved it...I used chairs and a body bar to help me do the reverse push ups, but ended up just doin pushups for two of the rounds, it was better cos the chairs not as hih as the dip station thing, and I didnt have so much room to do them ...but it was a good one! I…

See what just flipping around the pages here can do? I never heard of BRtv, and thx to you two, I am sooo excited to try these in my weekly routines!

Tuesday Update: Insanity CardioMax, dog walk (prob not so much jogging mixed in, my knees were bit sore from yesterday for some reason :grumble: ) Ate well yesterday, kept it just under the calculated calories, and have today pre-logged in according to my menu (!!!yeah me!->throwing confetti!!)..... Possibly will re-weigh…

Hello and Welcome to the week.. this week I plan to take the support &motivation (THX! EVERYONE) and get in gear! I know that if I stop the tracking, I will go further off-course, and feel worse about it...I should be proud that I was successful in getting abck to the tracking as much as I did. My goals for the week are to…

Good Morning everyone.... So the weekend is half over and I have only gotten a quarter of what I wanted done! TYPICAL! oh well, there should be time to done nothing too, right?! :ohwell: Weigh in was horrible, I do believe I have gained 2 lbs.....and its not TOM, have been logging foods and cutting back bits a pieces of…

HI Everyone, and Congrats! to you all ecause it looks like you all are sticking to your plans and having success! YEAH! :flowerforyou: Dragonfly: Sorry, I did miss your post....but yes, I am on BB and know Tracy72..I dont get on there much to log my workouts anymore, just because of the format changes, and it takes forever…

OH How I know what you mean about having success and then getting a bit too comfortable! I am in that very same spot, and have just vowed to not let my results get overrun by laziness and the up-comming "treat" season :grumble: ! I have been eating right, and working out, but taking advantage of the fact that I can indulge…

Good Morning...just a quick check-in, going to go to "Core City" now....plyo is tough on the older joints! dont I know it !! :noway: but I just do what I can, some days its barely a hop ! have a great day everyone!

Hi Everyone! I feel so much better tracking things again...I havent been 100 % at it yet, but I'm thinking more about what I am making to eat and what I am having to eat! As for my 6 hrs or work in the yard: we have an acre, and many trees...what I was focusing on was an area totally under tree cover that I havent cleared…

Finished up a beautiful weekend with 6 hrs of yard work...needless to say didnt take the long walk/jog (I'm a bit slow, but guessing that is what people are calling a "wog" these day?...if thats the latest term, I've been wogging for years : P !!!) My husband and I were raking, blowing dragging and burning leaves for…

Thanks for the welcome, maybe this time I can stick to my accountability plan better. I have to "re-schedule" my workouts and tracking habits; and really work on recording the food intake too. So thats my goal for the first week, to try to get my tracking done daily. I am good about gettiing the exercise done, and as for…

Hi ALL! I'd love to join you for the 10 pound Christmass loss...I just "recommited" in the last few week myself and need to be more accountable... I havent strayed tfrom exercise or healthy eating too far, but far enough to know that I am on a dangerous road into Holiday season without things being in check, if you know…

AHhhh Popcorn :heart: ....my husband and I have "Pops Night", and we "save up" to eat a bit extra popcorn (we like to stove-top pop it: in a bit of oil, I sometimes use a bit of chili oil to give it some spice!)...and let me tell you, it can get ugly towards the bottom of the bowl! there have been cases of hand holding…

Gene Loves Jezebel, TomTom Club, Siuoxsie and the Banshees, Shriekback, The The, The Cult, The JAm, DANZIG, Rammstein, Blondie, Daft Punk, Slightly Stoopid (for a slower, more yoga/stretch mode) oh the list can on and on....

I love love love this one; have it on my iPod and am thinking I need to have a quick listen to get the day moving, AGAIN!

this morning I really enjoyed HUNG UP/Madonna (ext. mix) Thats Not MY NAME/The Ting Tings MERCY/ Duffy and some techno "Scottish National Anthem" while runing on the MIll..... strange combo, but that is what keeps me going! a different mix everyday

Hi ellie...just one important thing to remember: DONT GIVE UP! Its not easy sticking to all the changes, and making them habbits. But you have "caught yourslef" and are willing to re-commit. THAT should be your focus. Yes, you are mad at yourslef, and that is what prompts the changes: if you didnt care, you would feel…
