Good morning. I'm up & at it early today. My oldest grandson is here for the weekend so I decided to get up early & kick the day in the butt! I did my Turbo Jam Cardio Party and Ab Jam.

SBF Fitness Challenge August 15
Good morning everyone! I had the opportunity to get my Turbo Jam in early today so I'll post first. It was a good weigh-in day. Two more pounds gone & two more to my goal! Believe it or not, I'm excited and PETRIFIED at the same time. I will need to do some research about maintaining. After nearly a year of being extra…

Well-this morning started out well. :grumble: Woke up to no water...fortunately, we have a separate pump for the sprinkler system so after I worked out, I hauled 8 buckets of water in to flush the toilets & wash up in. Wonder how many calories that burned:bigsmile: :heart: Brother-in-law is home! Five days after quadruple…

Victorious Fitness Challenge June 4
Good morning all! Dismal, dreary morning here in NY. I did Jillian's Shred today but I did Level 2 and found it much more challenging than Level 1 so I'm glad I tried it. There are no breaks so it's 20 minutes of non-stop kick your butt workout. Not sure of the calorie burn though. I took my little one on a bike ride last…

Happy Hump Day all! I only squeaked out 30 minutes of my DVD this morning. I'm running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep due to my little one and his asthma. He really struggled with coughing last night & we were up past 11. I just couldn't manage the last 10 minutes but I will walk later when the temp goes up. We might see 70…

OK so I lied. I decided to try this DVD that came free with some Nivea cream that my daughter bought. HOLY CRAP! Considering it was free I really didn't expect much but it's 35 minutes of Thigh, butt & ab work. The instructor is very good at cueing and it was a really good workout. I'm gonna try to do it three days a week,…

Good morning ladies. Totally boring me here. Did my Hip Hop Abs again. While I'm bored already, I can see and feel a difference now that I have changed my workout. I also got in a mile walk already while pushing a stroller and dodging two other little ones on big wheels....YIKES! Taking my grandson and son to the park…

Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat....
5 lbs. of fat is much bulkier than 5 lbs. of muscle, but five pounds is still five pounds. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound…

Although I have been taking weekends off, the rain stopped for awhile this morning so I went outside & did an hour of yard work and earned myself 500 calories according to my HR Monitor. We have a lot of downed limbs and I broke up some snow so it would GO AWAY. Have a nice weekend all. See you on Monday:love:

Well I guess since everyone else in my house has been ill-it's my turn. I woke in the middle of the night with a pounding headache and then this morning with a "funny" tummy. I pushed myself through 30 minutes of cardio and then threw in the towel & gonna take it easy the rest of the day. I weighed myself this morning and…

Used a heart rate monitor-SHOCKED at results
I have been doing the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD for 10 weeks now. I just started using a heart rate monitor today. Previously, I used a figure of 350 calories burned each day that I did the full 50 minutes and added that to my caloric intake for the day. With the monitor, I never reached my max heartrate but at the end…

Easter Fitness Challenge-March 20
Good morning ladies....I just completed my FINAL workout in my 47th year of life. I also had to schedule a DR's appt for a mysterious lump I found on the back of my right knee. It wasn't there on Tuesday but it sure is now. It isn't causing me any pain but just knowing it's there is making me crazy! I did my Biggest Loser…

We're in the home stretch with Easter fastly approaching. I took a cheat day yesterday but managed to still eat healthy.

Has anyone tried calorie cycling?
I'm trying to break out of yet another plateau. Two weeks now with no weight loss. My clothes feel looser so I know I'm still on track exercise wise, but the scale is stuck. I searched & found an article about calorie cycling. This is the thing-I am SO into making my new choices work for me that I'm afraid to eat more than…

I started the Biggest Loser Season One Workout today. I did the warm-up, High Intensity Cardio, Strength & Sculpt & Cool-down....I LOVE THIS ONE TOO! It's different enough from the Hip Hop Videos so I'm not bored. I had to shovel first thing this morning & the driveway is covered AGAIN so I'm chalking it up to God giving…

Another Non-Scale Victory!
I have a pair of jeans that I bought just before Christmas but wouldn't wear until a couple of weeks ago because I had a "muffin top" going on & I can honestly say I HATE how that looks. Hubby & I went out for a bite last night & I wore those jeans. Now the scale hasn't moved in a week & I was getting pretty depressed…
