Wow. I figured that would happen. I don't think he ever lost a pound. What a disappointment. Someone else would have relished the opportunity to go on the show and learn all those healthy habits.

Okay, I have never posted in yard before, but I am determined to get this weight off. I know that I have got to get going on the exercise.
Today: 30 min on the Gazelle, 15 min toning
It's a start!!

Hey Fit Chicks...
 

Katie - That is a great start - you go with your hot little self:cheer:

I got great news fromthe doctor - I can resume exercise. I can do whatever stuff I want so I'll start out with some streching, treadmill and recumbent bike:tread: :ebike: :carrot: The cook part is, my DH is gonna join me in the fun. The down side is I can only work out til December 15th becuz onthe 16th is my bunion surgery:cry: But that doctor says I'll only be out of the gym for three weeks with that..........
Can't wait til I get to go 100% and become a regular again at the gym........

Okay Chicks - I'm gonna go check the other thread........

:coach: Keep up the great work - it will pay off big time:drill: :cheer:

Today:
30 min hard cardio, I mean sweating, puffing, this so not like me!!
15 min toning
I do not have any weights, so I am using big cans of peaches. My kids cannot figure this out!

Katie - You can also use milk containers with handles either gallon or half gallons filled with water...
YOU are doing AWESOME.....you go girl!!!!!!!!!!!

Star, thanks for the tip on the milk gallons. With this daycare, I go through about 3/4 gallon per day. I have also been doing crunches with my chihauhau sitting on my chest. Today DH turned into an evil trainer, and was having me do this crunch that you hold for 30 seconds and squeeze. He was timing me and yelling "Come on, come on, you can do it, squeeze, squeeze!!" He even got down on the floor with me and put his hand on the spot where my abs should be, LOL, to make sure I was squeezing. He made me do 5. I was ready to die. I think that maybe I should hire him to put me through my whole circuit every day!!
Today: 30 minutes of hard cardio
15 minutes of toning
Goal for the weekend: Same circuit each day

Elliptical - 30 mins. Arms, legs, backs, abs also.

Well - I have been meaning to start working out again, but so far it just hasn't happened.....I just don't want to lose this thread, so here's to bumping it up......
You fit chicks keep it going til I return........

Ab Tape - 15 mintues
Bun & Thigh Tape - 10 minutes
Got to start somewhere.

Stomach alittle sore from yesterday
This A.M.
Ab and Bun/Thigh tape.......

Hi Katie, it seems we have similar tastes in threads. I made this posting in another thread but maybe i can get some help feed back here.

I'm 29yrs and I really want to ring in my 30th better than ever and w/ my 2 boys, well lets just say they are getting bigger and faster everyday. I've always had a problem w/ my weight, tried it all (NutriSystem & Jenny Craig) but they never last. On Jenny lost 30 lbs when I was 19 for my sister's wedding (and though I looked miiighty fine if i do say so myself) but it all came back. And now after the kids i'm at my biggest. I stated LA on 12/8/05 and have lost 5lbs to start with in the 1st week. The recipes and support i'm seeing on 3FC is great and i think will really help.

I'm feeling committed and motived right now but i'm having trouble finding time to excersize. I've never been the best at time management but now with the 2 boy (3yrs and 6mon) it nexts to impossible to find the time.

Does anyone have any tips to help me get more excersize or find the time to work out? I really want to make a change in my life, health and body but I'm having a hard time making those needed changes. Also, I'm really not at my greatest in the AM, so waking up early and doing it consistently is just not realistic for me. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I have realized that my family and job will take up every second of my life, if I let them. I have learned to say, "No, I need some me time. You are going to take a nap, I am going to exercise." Or, to DH, "I have been doing this all day. It is your turn to be in charge of the kids, I am going to exercise." Since no one is going to take care of you, except for you, it is YOU that has to stand up for yourself, and give yourself some time. You deserve to treat yourself well, and exercise and weight loss are a great way to go. Don't feel selfish for saying "No! I need my time too." Moms have a dang hard job. They deserve breaks too. Okay, off my soapbox! Good luck!! Katie

Katie - I don't want to sound like a sap or a softie but you have no idea how much what you just said means to me. I don't know if u watch Oprah but she calls them "Ah-ha!" moments and i just had one. I'm alway so consumed w/ what i have to do for everyone else i barely have a moment to shower and it is leaving me on empty. I think the fact that i made the step to go to LAWL and made that financial investment, i need to take advantage of this opportunity i have. The best way to take care of them is to take care of me first. Thank you again for your words, u got me all choked up...but then again i only had my son 6 months ago...might still be a bit post-pardom! LOL (That's a joke, no need to call a hotline or anything) LOL. But seriously...thank you :hug:

Denise- I had three babies in three years. I know how you feel. As moms we tend to loose ourselves sometimes. Glad I could give you an Ah-ha!

Did turbo jam learn and burn tape. .
