Monday: 20 min TJ + 40 min Sculpt Tuesday: 40 min TJ + 20 min Yoga (lower body ) Wednesday: 40 min TJ + 20 min Abs Thursday: Nope, nada, zippo! Friday: 40 min TJ + 20 min Yoga Saturday: 40 min TJ I think I am going to shake it up a bit next week...seems I am very TJ heavy and even though I love the workout, variety is the…

Congrats on getting that workout in, I know how challenging that can be! I was able to do 40 min of TJ and the 20 min Ab workout this morning. Tomorrow will be challenging as I have a very early meeting that will go all day. It is hard for me to get a workout in during the evening hours, but at the very least I am going to…

It came yesterday and I have started it. It seems to read well, though it has not really 'grabbed' me yet (that has nothing to do with content and some to do with writing style). I am looking forward to getting into some of the later sections. I think it will be worth what I paid for it.

Update: Monday: 20 min TJ + 40 min Sculpt Tuesday: 40 min TJ + 20 min Yoga (lower body ) The 20 minute yoga was amazing! It surprised me, how NOT limber I am! LOL! Really looking forward to working on this new challenge to the body, and the mind. The breathing is a real challenge, too.

Sherrill: I hope you have such a wonderful time in Japan!!! Congrats on the size 8's :) I think your ideas and Fitn's are good for your recovery period, I hope that the surgery gives you the desired results! Fitn: Great job on your week! I am rooting for you, I know you have specific goals in mind for your upcoming…

Sounds like you had a good week :) I think an alarm might be a good idea, at least until you can create the habit of eating every three hours or so. I had a fairly good week, didn't hit 60 minutes every day, but did get the ST in for 40 minutes! Yoga dvd arrived, along with a new dance dvd, I am really looking forward to…

Gigi: I am glad you are enjoying TJ, it is the absolute best workout I have ever found! The fun factor is so important for me to stay engaged :) Fitn: I have no doubt you will be right back at it tomorrow! Sometimes I have to remind myself that a day off won't undo everything. Thank you for continuing the challenge, it…

Thank you for continuing the challenge, it really has helped me re-focus on the 'fitness' part of my journey. I am waiting on a Yoga dvd that I ordered specifically for the November challenge :bigsmile: I haven't done Yoga in years, really looking forward to getting back into it! So far this week: Tuesday: 20 min TJ, 20…

Fitn, congrats on the skinny jean success! As far as staying here or starting a new thread, I am easy (though not cheap, as the hubby reminds me, lol), so whatever works for you and all is good for me! Tony Robbins is an interesting person, I have read some of him many years ago. I agree with you that there are as many…

As long as this is not an every day occurrence, it really is not that hard to plan for. Remember, in all things practice moderation :flowerforyou: For special occasions, I give myself the day off and just don't worry about it. Mind you, I said 'day', not weekend, or week, lol! Generally, that means I will decrease my…

Some of you may be aware of Wendy Ida, but I only just 'found' her. She may be a tad over the top for some tastes, but I find her very inspiring. In fact, I just ordered her book today :) She is amazingly fit at 59. https://wendyida.com/about-wendy/

So glad to see everyone reaching, or reaching for, their goals! Sherril, congrats on the loss, so exciting when a plateau is broken! I finally had one of those, too :) Gigi, keep striving toward your goal and you will eventually get there. For me, making an adjustment to a slower rate of weight loss really made the…

Hi Keran, welcome aboard! Managed to mish mash 60 minutes this morning with a 20 min Turbo, 30 minute Muffin Top Meltdown (LMAO!) and 10 minutes of moderate Yoga-ish stretching. I am warming up for the November challenge, lol.

Sherrill: Wow! Way to go! Congrats on busting ye old plateau! :drinker: Fitn: I like your thoughts on the challenge for next month. The last two challenges have really gotten me to focus on the ST part of working out, and I am starting to see the results of that. Adding dedicated Yoga or some other type of…

Hi all! Sorry I have been MIA, it has been a weird few days. Fitn, glad to see you are pushing it! That bike ride sounds like it was a killer! Wow! Nice workout today, too. RE: Protein-mozzerella cheese sticks, almonds or pistachios, yogurt (greek is great for high protein/low calorie), deli meat like turkey is something I…

Fitn, how frustrating that must be. I know that when I started in March, I encountered major resistance from my body. It seemed that no matter what I did, I could NOT budge even a half pound. It took me four months to lose 10 pounds :grumble: A lot of that resistance, I think, comes from my 45 year old body. The metabolism…

Congratulations on making the choice to quit! I know how hard it is, I am three years smoke free. Best thing I ever did for myself. You have been given lots of very good tips, I can only add one more that was given to me; buy cinnamon sticks and chew on them. Not the candy, the actual cinnamon sticks from the spice aisle.…

Happy Wednesday! How is everyone doing? Gigi: Glad you have some energy back! Midweek check in: Monday: 40 minute TJ (cardio party 2) Tuesday: 20 minute TJ + 40 minute Turbo Sculpt Wednesday: 40 minute TJ (cardio party 2) + 20 minute Ab Jam Looks like I am running about 20 minutes short of goal, maybe I will break out the…

Sherrill; great job! I did get a workout on Saturday, but then the dang cold kicked my *kitten* again. Feeling better today, but no workout. Maybe this afternoon. Definitely will be back at it tomorrow. Wk 2: * 6 small meals throughout the day with lunch being the biggest meal. CHECK * 60 minutes of working out for 6 days…

YAY! Managed to get 40 minutes of turbo in! Still behind for the week, but I may be able to make it up tomorrow.

ARG!!! No time for a morning workout yesterday (OMG early/all day meeting!) too many people in my space last night, so decided to make yesterday my 'day off'. (though I did count the walking we did on a tour of a local lumber mill/forestry tour) So, this morning, I wake up completely congested :angry: and completely…

I hope your trip is great! Sounds like fun, and sounds like you have a plan in hand :smile: Congrats on the good eating days! I know what a great feeling that is! Glad to be of service, and hope I never sound preachy (my kids tell me I lecture at the drop of a hat :blushing: ) Today I did Cardio Party 2 and 10 minutes of…

Checking in! Got my 60 minutes today, YAY! 40 minutes of ST and 20 of Cardio, I figure I am ahead for the week now, lol! Fitn: For what it is worth, I don't really consider my snacks a meal, I just aim for 150-200 calories and try to get some fiber and protein in there. My meals I try to come in around 250-350. I also try…

I managed to snag a walk this evening, YAY! I got rained as a bonus, lol! Fitn: I know I have a rest day, I think I took it on Saturday, Sunday's exercise was completely accidental, I promise! I think you are doing a great job, keep it up! Your kettlebell workouts are very inspiring, you will get me to fling one of those…

Keep up the good work everyone! Sherrill, I am borrowing your summary check list! Wk 1: * 6 small meals throughout the day: CHECK! * 60 minutes of working out for 6 days of the week: ONLY 5/7 this week, the weekend proved challenging this week. * 20 minutes of strength training (ST) at least 3 times a week: Not quite. I am…

Good job on getting that workout in! I know how hard it can be to squeeze them in, especially in the evening. Not being familiar with your work space, is it possible to keep a few granola bars and maybe some low sugar hot chocolate on hand? Depending on the brands, those two items can equal 150-200 calories, which I find…

guessgigi: sounds like a good day, even with a pesky cold! Good job! I agree on mixing up the work outs. balston: I think you can jump right in! Welcome :flowerforyou: My day is going to be a challenge due to the dreaded out of town lunch meeting :huh: Only had time for 30 minutes this morning, and probably won't get any…

Good job, Sherrill! I am loving the hula hoop. So much fun! Are you doing a program of some sort, or just hula-ing? Today I did 40 minutes of Turbo Jam (love that workout, it doesn't feel like a workout!) and 20 minutes of The Muffin Top Meltdown *giggle*. That workout is actually pretty intense (as well as a great deal at…

I did not get in my extra ST yesterday, too many people/distractions at home in the evenings. I really have to try to get my workouts in the morning as that is when I have the house mostly to myself. With the days getting shorter, it is going to become more challenging to sneak in a walk or run in the evenings, too. I…

Started the week with my favorite, Turbo Jam! The workout I chose has 40 minutes of cardio, 5 minutes of band work. My plan will be to do an additional 15 minutes of ST this evening.
