Forgot to post yesterday: 45min at Contours

Today: BL#3 and 45mins at Contours

45minute run :woops: and Bl #1 :lifter:

BL Boot Camp. Seeing all of you other exercisers really motivates me. Megan, can't wait till it is warm enough to get out and try running. You are inspiring me girl!

Last night, BL #1 and #3 with the DSs. I :love: Bob again today.

Wow Carm, 1 & 3, and you are loving Bob today? You are one forgiving woman!!

I'd run behind him on water as long as I knew he'd show me his abs during the cooldown!

oh yeah, man! Those abs........ http://jm.g.free.fr/smileys/bowdown.gif

haha its funny because bob is what gets me through. last night after my run i didnt want to do bl but once i started it not only did he motivate me by his lil "one more come on one more" speech and his hottness!! :love:

I love his accent. It is true, he is adorable. In the Boot Camp, he says Suzy is a handful. So funny.

BL #1 and 45mins at Coutours

Bl #2

BL 1 and 3 and 60 min run today. I havent done it yet but when I get home from work I am. I am working out extra hard today because I didnt get to last night. My friend works at a spa and wanted to "experiment" on me. She told me to let all hair on my body grow out and not shave for 2 weeks. So I did, big mistake. She waxed my legs, underarms, eyebrows and bikini. :o It was so hard to walk out of there. :( But now I'm smooth for Vegas!!! :D Anyways so I'm going to exersice extra hard today. Figured I'd post now so I HAVE to do it and I cant back out!!

Waxed your underarms? OW!:fr:

My brother lives in Vegas - he works for the Bureau of Land Mgmt on a helicopter. He's already incredibly busy this year. I think it's going to be a bad fire season.

Yes underarms. I dont suggest it to anyone! Not even my worst enemy.

Lori do you go to Vegas much? And if so any tips? I am so afraid of falling off plan so I am trying to be as prepared as possible!

Nope, I am sad to say that in the 7 or so years that he has lived there, I have never made it out. He is very anti-social and avoids the strip and trendy places like the plague. Bah Humbug! Wish I could help you out. I think Katie had some good suggestions about going to places with buffets and taking some of your own fruit. Drink lots of extra water, because most of those buffet things are loaded with sodium!

Hi everyone! I'm off this weekend to buy a new heart rate monitor. Does anyone have suggestions on which I should get? I'm clueless, this is the first one I've ever bought and I don't want to spend a lot of money on a piece of crap ;) .

Thanks,
Diane

Ok, I need some serious motivation here. I just can't seem to get in the "mood" to exercise. I have a treadmill, and I KNOW I should be walking on it, but I just can't get up the energy after a long day at the office.

Any ideas????

Joan I feel your pain. I was like that for so long. But one day I just made myself. I said I would do 30 min. A 5 min warm up a 20 min brisk walk and a 5 min cool down. For me breaking it down like that made it seem so much easier. Plus I have a TV in front of my treadmill so that was nice. But to be honest the thing that has kept me going, and this will probably sound silly, is my IPOD. I put music on and I just go go go. Wednesday night I lost track of the time I was on there and ended up being on there for over 45 minutes. If none of that works just keep telling yourself it will help you in the long run. I always tell myself I dont want to be skinny I want to be healthy and the first step to that is exercise!! :D Come on chickie I know you can do it. Its tough but you can do it. Need a buddy? I would be more than happy to help. :hug: Do this for you!!

Maybe mornings would be better? Find a time of day that you can live with, and just get started. You will find out that you actually have more energy on the days that you exercise. Remember that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so commit to yourself that you will do it without fail for that long. I promise by then the habit will stick!

Ohhh a buddy now that might help.

Thanks to you and Repo Girl... you guys are GREAT!. I've tried mornings, but I'm not really a morning person, so evenings are best for me. I guess I'm going to have to just plug in the IPOD and GO. I hadn't thought about it. I Used to read on the treadmill, but I find its not so easy with this one. Maybe when I get my new one in a month or so.

Anyway, I'm going to go home tonight and the FIRST thing I'm going to do is change and get on the treadmill.

:hug: to you both!

Joan Im so happy to hear that! Let me know how things go!!

Kaite, when you open the DVD does it give you a rotation schedule? Mine finally came from Walmart.

Yes, I think if you watch the intro with the trainer he tells you. It is #1 & 3, alternating every other day for 6 days a week for three weeks, then bump up to #2 & 4. Always do the warm up and cool down too. Good luck, I hope you like it!

BL #3 and 45mins at Contours

Biggest loser Boot Camp

no exercise for me today (today is my day of rest). However I was at work at 7:15 this morning photographing soccer teams, then I worked a wedding from 11:15 to 3:45. Very long day, I'm sure I burned LOTS of calories!

Got my BL dvd yesterday!!! I ordered it monday.They shipped it pretty fast!! I havent looked at it yet but I will tonight if I have time. Has anyone done the 6 week plan? I read that on the back of the dvd box.

That is what I am doing.

Bl 1 & 3!

Wow Julia, you are awsome. I really want to start doing 2 at a time. Today is felt better and srtonger than I ever have doing the high intensity cardio. Maybe soon I can start pairing #3 with it.

Today- BL #2

Yesterday- No chance to exercise, helped DH spray 2 truck bed liners all day. I must have worked hard though, because I was aching when I went to bed last night.

Well--I am pretty sure this is the first time I've posted over here. I haven't exercised in a while but I am back on the wagon. ANYTHING to jump start this metabolism that doesn't want to let me lose!!

Slim in Six (SS)--Start it Up (yes, back to baby steps!) Hopefully by the weekend I'll be back to Ramp it up.

Oh, NSV to add-I could finally tell I have lost since today was the first time when doing abs I could see straight down my body instead of staring at my own gut!! Felt pretty good--how easy am I to please??

Katie ~ I'm feeling it today by doing BL1&3 yesterday, Bob really kicked my butt! So far today I've done BL1 and I'm going to try to make myself go to Contours tonight (figured if I posted it I'd be more likely to do it).

Everyone have a POP day!

Julia- Love your picture! So nice to put faces with names.

Thanks, sorry to have asked again on the Friends and Losers thread...I see you answered :dizzy:

Crunch Fat Burning Yoga-Whoohoo-Kicked my butt!

WTG, bet you feel great!

BL Boot Camp, first time with weights, much harder!

WTG Kate! Crunch Fat Burning Yoga

Good job Kris!!!

I did the BL bootcamp for the first time last night too. my DH was dying with the 5lbs...i was luck with the 2lbs. but still cannot do all the push-ups without being on my knees. I wished there was more of an Abs section on the boot camp.
