Licia! Congrats on your news!!! WOW! My son is turning 21 this month... maybe in 2-3 years I'll catch up to you :smile: TechN - spinach and chiken salad - yummm! I did OK on food today, but I think I have a few too many apples....

Licia! Great thing on planning your meals. I cooked for a week so I can just mix and match: turkey with green beans or pork with swiss chard, stuff like that...a little blend, but safe as far as calories. I need to jazz it up a bit, and I will soon. Still getting used to my new kitchen. I noticed that occasionally our…

Morning! I woke up and did Yoga X!!! Today I really enjoyed upward dog - I felt a lot of pent up stiffness in my lower back. I could tell I did a lot of good to alleviate that. I did not do venyasas the way the man and the "kids" were - I am giving my elbow a break!!! I am sharing this with you, so especially those who…

Licia - I want to forget renovations exist!!!!! still need to get over this one... we re-did our kitchen and converted our English basement into a walk-in apartment. several weekends in the row I keep washing and washing and sorting and moving things around, and I am still not done! Thanksgiging is around the conver - I…

Hi, Licia! Cookies? Bad girl!! I( feel like I know you so just fooling around with you) While sick I was a bit in a disarray with food. there was a few days when all I felt like eating was ...bagels ! Couple of time I felt as if I had morning sickness and almost reached for pickles and icecream!!! shishhhh....very weird...…

Good morning! wow! So many new people! Sorry for being MIA!!! I took a week off because of my cold. I did Cardio X yesterday and shoulders/bi/tri today - I am barely alive after that. :laugh: I am glad for Lora in that DVD - she is close to my age and doing push-ups in a simplified/easy way, that makes me feel better.…

I woke stiff and hungry. Since I am working from home, I can do Kenpo in the afternoon, when my body a bit more awake. I hope the construction at home won't bit into my day too much!

hi, teachnrun! 90 min is loooongish :wink: I kinda dread it in the beginning, but boy am I happy when I am done!!!! I am wokring from home tomorrow - should be fun, and will be able to come out on board more! need to get my ZZZzz in! Sweet dreams, determined X-rs and MFP citizens! XOXO Jenny

Oh, and I saw that you are seeking advise on stretching - Slim in 6 comes with it's own stretch routines. a short one with each workout, and a longer separate one (like 15 min) that you can do on your day off or whenever you feel like you need a stretch! :smile:

hi, there - yes - it is a DVD workout with a lot of online support and community for support. Plus you get a coach for free!!!! you can send me any questions if you like - I've been doing DVDs for a year and really find it the most convenient, consistent and effective way to work out!

he-he - Well, on my scale Chalene is the chalk on the board :laugh:

hmm....it's not only about pounds. I only lost 10 lbs since last year, but I totally reshaped my body... I continue to change, but my weight stays pretty much the same (135-138) there is much more to that, but I don't want to highjack your thread :)

Some say coffee is diuretic and drains your water, so you have to drink 2 extra cups of water for each coffee cup. But lately I hear that's not so. I just ry to drink 6-8 glasses a day, and have my java in the morning!!!

Hi, LSchoone - welcome! A suggestion - since you DH was injured, maybe you two should look into Lean version - more aerobic, less pushups for this round? I am doing it and beleeeeeeeeeeave me, I am working plenty hard :wink: XOX

Same here - but mostly I fell good tired and sleep better, which is a desired outcome. When I don't exercise for a few days I am miserable. I found that drinking anti-oxidant drinks when feeling tired some hours after W/O helps to c"come back on line". I drink Yogy Anti-oxydant drink without cofeine...seems to help but not…

Slim in 6 is not Dancy, if you like kick-boxing and stuff Turbo Jam is better for you. But Debbie really slims you out! I've done her programs 4 times, andit kept working! If I could, I'd do only her, but I maxed out on Debbie for now (mentally). Got to keep it fun, so no program works forever. Thankfully there are many to…

10 pounds in 2 week - do they say how quickly you gain them back? :wink: Anything that promises such fast results is FAD/FAD/FAD!!!! Don't buy into it! XO Jenny

WOW! that's a lot! I don;t use HRM, so were you like going full steam, than? Seems a lot!

Whoo -hoo!! I know how you feel - and it 's only going to get better and better! Keep at it, girlfriend! XOXO Jenny

RachV - better half than none at all!

Yoga X in the books! I feel like I can fly, I am so light!!!

I have access to specific food calculator for Slim in 6. I can give you the total calories while on Slim in 6 if you give me your height/weight/age. This time you build the totall into your goals and don't need to add exercise calories as a separate step. you can e-mail me... Good luck!

Beach Body DVDs: Slim in 6, Slim Series, P90, and now P90X!!! you see my the before(all running all the time) and after(DVDs all the time)

Hey, Rach! Jump on the wagon! I know what you mean about feeling strong and inspired! I feel like I am in control of my body, and feel like my day is not waisted as long as I BRING IT!!!! Whoo-hoo! so happe to have you along for the ride!!! Love, JG

Hey, Samsin! Welcome

Good morning! Wow, it is Monday already! I went for a run! I feel great! I miss running, but I will only run during recovery weeks while doing X. So, let's see.... Weekend was crazy because we finally unpacked and washed and organized our kitchen. That took all of Saturday and I even forgot to eat lunch. On Sunday we went…

I like to eat veggies with my protein for example steamed green beans are a great tummy stuffers! a cup of stemed broccoli will hit the spot with lean meat or tofu! make sure you at even intervals too - this way you won't be ravenous at any meal and eat just enough! 5 meals a day is a reasonable schedule.

it's funny. Usually my DH leaves before I WO, but when he is still there, he distracts me BIG TIME! He mumbles all the time and sometimes asks me questions, and I keep puasing DVD and checking if that just mumble or something important he saz. maaaaan! :laugh:

TeachNR! Don't apologise! We put a lot of effort to carve time for exercise, and I think I would be upset too if others in my family did not do their part! And this is where we vent! Venting is healthy! Enjoy you weekend with girls! You totally deserve it! You need to recharge and come back full of new energy and new…

good morning! Time to bring it! Leg and back/ab ripper! Woo-hoo!
