hey Beth......
For awhile there it was just me on here and I was boring myself........lol

lol well I don't know I think my posts are pretty boring too... I saw that you were the only one, I had been reading along time before I was posting... but hopefully this helps us all motivate each other to get our booooties moving... because If you can do it so can I.. :p thats how Im looking at it anyway...

hmmm what was the last challange 15 or 20 min???

Hey has anyone looked at oprahs bootcamp??? she starts off at 30 mins of cardio the first week i think

Ok Chicks,
Star has given me my workout routine for next week. I'm posting it to help keep me accountable next week.
I have to do atleast 20 minutes of cardio for atleast 4 days. If I have time to do 30 minutes, I'm suppose to do 30 minutes.....Geez, wish me luck with this Chicks... :o :lol:

I looked at Oprah's bootcamp and thought it might be just what I need to get rid of these last 15 lbs, but haven't started it yet. I did return to the gym and start working with weights earlier this week and plan to go again tomorrow. I'm pretty sore right now (between weights and swimming I can barely lift my arms to stretch while yawning...but it's a good pain...means I'm alive and doing something good for me ;-)

Beth - I think I said only 15 to start, that was just to get everyone going. It's not hard to do 30, but ya have to start somewhere.....
Thanks for posting....and I'm so glad you are all working out now. You will see a huge difference - it's worth every pain along the way.
Rusty - I know you will do 20 and probably some days 30 - you just need a little push.....
Jen - the old saying "No pain - no gain" lol That last weight will come off us soon, cuz we ain't quittin!

Ok Rusty so if your gonna increase 5 minutes and 15 if you can i guess i can do the same lol. I like to have a challenge keeps me motivated i guess. I will do 25 minutes and 35 if i can and at least 4 days if not 5! Come on Rusty we can do this!!!

~Beth
Is oprah's bootcamp online? I havent looked guess ill check out oprah.com and see if its there. She i looking better than she has in years!

Britt

Britt - Remeber Oprah has a chef or two, unlimited funds and plenty of time to get to her goal.......

LOL Star yes i remember that! However, I have been reading this morning lol and that is always a bad thing haha. Anyway I think i want to do the Oprah Boot Camp!!!!!!!!! Just as a challenge to myself because i know i can do this. I have only gotten to the exercise part not to the food part but i thought if i use my LAWL and then the book camp for the exercise that might work really well. Anyone else interested in starting boot camp July 1????

Britt

Yes Rusty, AuditGirl and Britt you can do it...

Me treadmill.... 60 mins (the longest 60 ever) 3.05 miles... I did the 2 min increases up to 7.0 today at a faster pace.. man am I beat....

Britt It was on her site.. she has a contract on there for it... 12 weeks I think it is...

Star.. I couldn't remember where you started them.. lol

you guys can do it I started at about 20 then did 30 now im at 60... I make myself get at least to the 3 miles.. In fact my MIL called this morning, I had 6 min to go and I told her I had to call her back.... when I really wanted to hop off and sit down.. lol

Britt - you are on a roll...you go girl! Take all the other fit chicks with you! I can't join you on July 1st becuz I will be on the first day of my vacation.... We are going to Park City Utah.

When I come back on the 11th, I'll have to ask you chicks for challenges to get back up to speed......Actually if I weren't going I would sign up right now!

Britt-July is pretty busy, but I could start after the 4th and then take another break at the end of the month...need to do something drastic to shock the body into losing again.

Star-You hit the nail on the head...the weight is going to come off because I'm not going to stop until it does....way too stubborn to quit now!

I just read about Oprah's Boot Camp and what changed her feelings. I pretty much feel the same way about working out that she does. Her new outlook on eating is one we could all benifit from.
I would be really excited to do the Boot Camp after the 8th of July. But I think it is a great idea to get a group from here. Britt your captain.....if we need a name for our team - how about 'Fit Chicks?'
This is really exciting.....cool!

:lol: I'm game just tell me what day were starting... This could be great for all of us!!!!

YAYYYYYYY!!!! Im so excited!!! This is kind of strange for me. Ok i had thought that maybe I would start July 1st since its a 12 week challenge and all so that would give me about even in months however i have looked at my calendar and i notice that July 1st is on a friday. If you havent read about the boot camp then go to oprah.com and click on the boot camp link. It actually doesnt sound all that bad. i think the exercise part will be the hardest for me but i need that kick in the butt!!!!

There is a cute walking calendar that you can print off to keep up with your walking (either outside or treadmill). I think the exercise program is gonna be pretty intense but I think we can all do it. Its 8 workouts a week with one day of rest! That is kind of scarry!!!!!! Six days a week you do 20 minutes of resistance training using dumbbells. Also each session you do a cardio workout. Starts off with 30 minutes 5 days a week and on the 6th day you double it so that would be a hour for the first week! There is more information as long as some examples of Oprah's fav moves.

There is a contract to sign with yourself. I would love for all of us to do this together. I can start whenever really I plan on keeping up with this when i go on vacation as well. So if everyone could list when they could start the program then we will come up with the official start date. And dont worry if you have to miss the first few days or something you can just jump right in when you get back from vacation or whenever.

I dont know why im so excited about this but i am lol. I think things are always better when done in groups lol. Do you think we should start a seperate thread for the "Fit Chicks Challenge" once it starts? Ok everyone think on it and read up about it we will put some stuff together and see if we cant get started with our own BootCamp!!ohhhh we could call it the Fit Chicks Boot Camp!!!

Britt

Britt - I'm excited too - it will be great!
I can start (or jump in) July 11th
Yes, I think we need a new thread for us "Fit Chicks Boot Camp"
Now I have something to look forward to AFTER vacation........ :ebike: :cp: :tread: :cheer: :strong: :cb:
