I wish I had the internal motivation to kickbutt at this all the time, but thank goodness I've now got a friends wedding coming up in April! I really needed that kick in the pants!! Get ready to see the weight drop!
WELCOME BACK MONTECRISTO....SO VERY VERY VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU POSTING AGAIN!!
Rainbow--I had already finished my workouts today but then laced up my shoes and walk/jogged to I WANT IT ALL BACK!!! You gave me bonus cals on the "machines" today of an additional 5:47 of gospel revival...thank you! I know you're gonna win your own battle. Your motto of "totally determined" says it all! Take it all back girl!
CourtneyDaisey--move away from that "problem"... less stress, more love train.
Shan--You killed your workout today!!!!!!! Who's gonna mop up that sweat?
Peanutt--Keep at it...keep throwin extra workout smackdowns!
I. Will. Walk. A. Mile. Tonight. With. Leslie. Sansone.
Okay, there it is in writing so now I have to do it!! lol Feeling yucky and lazy today, teammates! Came on here for some motivation and, as usual, I found it. Congrats to our biggest losers! I'm gonna go walk now!
JayTee - Thanks! Definitely gotta move away from the stress and onto the train! Woot! time to get moving in the right direction! Chugga chugga CHOO CHOO!!!!!
Has anyone done water aerobics? I am thinking about signing up, but am wondering how good of a workout it really is.
I did water aerobics while vacationing at a resort. It actually was a good workout, and that was the "watered down" fun version. I could definitely feel it in my arms and legs after the session. I'm sure the classes offered at a Y or gym would be great!

WOOOOHOOOOO
WAY TO GO SKINNY!!!
you are busting into ONE-DER-LAND with gusto!!!
keep up the GREAT work!
i do water aerobics...deep water aeroboics....and yes it CAN be an excellent workout, as long as you really give it your all...in our morning classes...there are mostly older ladies, well im an older lady too, but these are older ladies, who come i think mainly to socialize....and chat more than they work out!! it can get crowded and causes a lot of bottlenecking, so i wasn't working out hard enough to even sweat...so i started doing laps. i use a kickboard, swim gloves, fins, water weights, noodles, etc...to vary my routine. but one of the deep water aerobics class is VERY GOOD!! i really work up a sweat but i don't get to go on tues. or thurs often. but if you can find a good teacher and plenty of room, where you work up a good sweat, you will love it!! if not, try swimming laps and doing aerobics on your own in your own lane.
i'm having such a good time reading through all the nutritional journals and getting inspired for new things!!
THANKS TO EVERYONE POSTING AND SHARING!! WAY TO GO!! KEEP IT UP!!
Angie....that chicken breast stuffed with feta looks delish!! racheal ray made something similar that i want to try!!
Mel....ooohmy u r a girl after my own heart...cheese croissant and chocolate...how divine!!
Madam BUTT-er fly....your northern buffalo chicken salad sounds right up my alley...i can't wait to try that. what sauce do you use?? i have been trying to find a bbq sauce that is low sugar...uggg...they are all full of sugar!! so maybe i will try the wing sauce. oooo and i love the kiss idea!!!

Hey there,
I do water aerobics and I must say that it really depends. In the past, the water aerobics class at the community center sucked! The water aerobics class I take now is actually more like training, than aerobics LOL. My instructor used to be a personal trainer and so her style is totally unique.
She takes exercises that her clients do when training and makes us do them in the water. So it's not a pansy-*** class by any means! We do some hardcore strength training, cardio, core, etc. In her class, YOU WILL SWEAT... in the water!
LOL. Good luck finding a class. I'd recommend finding out about the style of the instructor who will be doing the class.
Alright, I'm taking up Jillian Michaels' challenge this week to burn 300 calories each day and did it today by playing Just Dance for an hour. What a super fun way to burn calories! DH and the dog got in on it too.
The red bean burgers are super delicious and filling and good for you. Here's how I make them:
- Drain and rinse 1 can of red kidney beans. Mash with fork or potato masher.
- Add 1/2 cup minced onion, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tbsp barbecue sauce and about 1/3 cup bread crumbs. Mix well.
- Form into 4-6 patties (depending on your buns) and cook in a frying pan with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray.
- Top with any of your favorite burger toppings (I usually just do cheddar and lettuce).
- Nutritional info for 1/4 of recipe: 148 calories, 1g fat, 28g carbs, 8g protein (I should actually re-calculate this because I've tweaked the recipe since, but this will be close)
THIS IS MY YEAR
YOU CAN DO IT!!
YOU'RE HUNGRY TO BE SUCCESSFUL!!
WE WANT YOU BACK!!!
WE ARE THE MIGHTY RED TEAM!!!
WE ARE STRONG!!
Get ready to see the weight drop!
