She finally broke me...
Or maybe I broke myself. Either way 6 minutes into today's workout (cardio 3) I hurt my knee to the point I'm now on crutches. Possibly tore my meniscus, but need to get an MRI done to know for sure. Needless to say I will not be revolutioning with y'all for awhile. I'm really really bummed about it, especially since I was…

Workout ideas with knee injury
Hi everyone! I'm hoping you can help me out, 4 days ago while doing my usual Wednesday cardio workout I managed to most likely tear my meniscus (I say most likely because I'm still waiting for the MRI and the docs are telling me most likely). I knew there was a reason I didn't like my cardio days... Anyways, I'm now pretty…

End of phase 1 progress (with pics)
OK, I have to say, though I'm not terribly impressed with these pics, I do keep reminding myself, that this is only after 1 months work...I still have such a long long way to go. stats first: start of phase 1, March 28 (the date I did pics anyways): neck 15" r. arm 13.75" l. arm 13.75" high chest 41.5" midriff 39.5" waist…

Phase 2 cardio almost killed me...
The title pretty much says it all, but that DVD was crazy hard for me to keep up with! I did manage to get through it, but by the time it was done I thought I was gonna die...I even texted my husband afterwards and told him "if I'm dead when you get home remember I love you, and kiss the kids for me" :laugh: Well I managed…

Phase 1 DONE!!!
As of about 15 mins ago, I'm done with phase one workouts!!! Can't say as I'm "ready to jump into phase 2" but come Monday I will be (I do my own cardio, a long fairly strenuous hike, for Saturday cardio instead of the DVD). I'll be taking progress pics on Sunday as well as end of phase 1 measurements, but I already know…

What's your "telltale" sign of a great workout?
I'm not sure if everyone has a telltale sign that you just put 100% solid effort into your workout, but I certainly do, and I'd be interested in hearing any/all of yours too! So for me...the tell tale sign comes when I step into the shower for my post workout shower...I step in and find myself a bit dazed and confused (I…

The best NSV I've had yet!!!
When my 9 year old daughter hugged me and said "wow, I can fit my arms all the way around you!" Not only did they fit around me, but she could grab her hands behind my back...a month ago even touching fingertips would have been impossible for her.

90 days and me
I'm not a blogger, but I really would like to have some semblance of a record of this journey. So, I'm hoping ya'll don't mind me blathering on about my JMBR workouts, and how much they may or may not be killing me, on this thread. I welcome any and all comments, insights, motivational cues, whatever ya want to throw at…

NSV! Lost inches!
Monday is "weigh day" and I was a bit shocked this morning to see I was UP 3lbs. However, I decided to measure instead of going by what that pesky scale said. Thankfully I did, as I was feeling pretty defeated. The tape measure informed me that despite what the scale says I have lost 5.5 inches from my upper body…

lonely roads
Hi All! I've been on MFP off and on for a couple years. Until recently I haven't ever taken full advantage of all it has to offer. I'm 6 weeks into my "journey" this time, and I've just realized how much I desire more support. Perhaps the lack of support has had a hand in my giving up in the past. So, I'm throwing this out…

A small NSV, but it's keeping me motivated (with pic)
For the last 6 weeks or so I've been hiking every Saturday with my family; an easy thing to do when you live on a Hawaiian island. Since these are family hikes and the scenery is superb, there are always pictures involved. While looking through the pictures from this Saturday's hike I noticed a big difference in my overall…
