Hi ladies-

Hi Everyone!

TGIF!

Have a great weekend!

Check-In: LM Combat Live 60 w/weighted gloves

Teacher Enjoy your evening and rest well.

Holy crap..FEB! Thanks for getting us started, Diana!!!

Teacher - I don't blame you with the job...it sounds like you knew it wasn't the right choice. Hope that you enjoyed your night!

Diana - nice workouts! Hormones may be part of the issue (TOM) but I really forced myself to push through and workout daily. Exercise is the best anti depressant! Mom is ok - 35 consecutive daily radiation treatments have been ordered...yikes.

Les Mills Combat Plyo - never done this one before! Will fit it in between lunch with a friend and dinner with my family for my hubby's bday.

Hi ladies-

It's been a busy day of cleaning. My hip is a little sore but hopefully not too bad. The in-laws come over tomorrow for the Super Bowl. No change for my weight this week... I need to refocus on the food and tracking. Anyone have fun Super Bowl plans? I don't care about the games just the commercials and food.

Diana3271 · 02-02-2013, 09:43 PM

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: LM Combat 45 w/weighted gloves

Laura Glad to hear you Mom is still doing well. How did you like Combat Plyo.

Teacher We are going to watch the Super Bowl at the house, just me and DH. We are grilling burgers. I got DH some snack food to eat on during the day. What kind of goodies are you having?

teacher1 · 02-03-2013, 12:32 PM

Diana- it's a junk food day... snack- bean dips, veggie tray, cookies, pizza for dinner. I'm going to try to not go totally hog wild. However, the in-laws are coming over so the food helps. Super bowl is a super long day here and I'm ready for it to be over!!!! Enjoy the game with your hubby.

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: KCM's 30 MTF Cardio Quick Fix (double workout premix)

Hmm, I didn't do so well eating tonight.

Tomorrow is a new day.

TurboLaura · 02-04-2013, 04:30 PM

Hey ladies! Busy but fun weekend..hope you all enjoyed it.

Diana, you're right - it's a new day!

I'm thinking of going back to TF - or at least doing a hybrid. I really miss TF and the incredible workout I used to get. What are your thoughts, ladies?

TF 45 tonight..I need a fix

teacher1 · 02-04-2013, 04:36 PM

Laura- I think changing it up is a great idea. If you feel like TF or TJ, I'd say go for it. When I was working out, I was all over the place. I get ADHD with working out and have to change things up.

Diana- I'm there with you. I ended last night with a bellyache

Back on track.

I had PT with the man today. Yikes, he's much harder than the woman. I was so sweaty and tired when I left there. Going to try the elip tomorrow and see how it goes.

Diana3271 · 02-04-2013, 08:22 PM

Hi Everyone

Check-In:
LM Combat 60 Live w/weighted gloves

Teacher I actually felt miserable all day.

How about you? My body doesn't like for me to eat off plan.

I hope you aren't too sore from the PT today.

Laura I think I have an idea that will work for you. Follow the Combat schedule, but when it says a 45 workout do either LM or TF 45 or 45EZ. Do whichever one you are in the mood for. Do the same thing with the 60. You can do one of the LM 60's or TF 55EZ or 60. Have you seen these hybrid rotations? http://soreyfitness.com/beachbody-hybrid-workouts/

TurboLaura · 02-04-2013, 09:12 PM

Great idea, Diana and Teacher. I really need schedules and more intensity and LOVE TF

Plus I need the motivation of Chalene that I don't get from Combat.

TurboLaura · 02-05-2013, 04:56 PM

Hey ladies!

Major check in an accountability day for me. I've been eating off plan foods and slacking on working out for 22 days. I weighed in at 167 today. This is bad, very bad. I've recommitted myself to my healthy eating and Turbo Fire 6 days a week. I'm going to follow the advanced rotations..I really need Chalene's energy and motivation right now. I also really need to do the 3-4 core/ab workouts per week like I was..UGH. There's nothing wrong with Combat but I need TF right now! I will get back. I can't believe I gained 15 pounds in 22 days. That's REALLY bad.

Thanks for listening...I hope that you all had great days.

teacher1 · 02-05-2013, 06:00 PM

Laura- some of that might be water weight but it's good to get back on track. This past week was a struggle for me. You know what to do and have a solid plan in place. We're here for you... ups and downs!!!

Diana- yes, I felt crappy after all that junk food. But now I'm having major cravings. This could also be because TOM is around the corner for me.

I had such an intense PT appointment yesterday and I'm still very sore today. Sticking with just the stretches today and hoping tomorrow I'll feel better and try the elip.

Diana3271 · 02-05-2013, 09:51 PM

Hi Everyone!

Check-In: LM Combat 60 w/weighted gloves

Laura I also think some of that gain is water weight. It's amazing though, how quickly we can gain, but it takes forever to get it off. I agree, we are here for you. Hang in there. You know what to do.

Teacher The cravings could be from pending TTOM or the fact that you ate differently on Sunday. Did you eat many sweets/carbs? If so, your body is craving those sweets/carbs again. They literally act like a drug on your body. It's almost like you have to go through a detox (abstain from the sweets/carbs) to get them out of your body before you start feeling better.
