  • Hooray! I 'quoted' right!
  • Quote: I bought a Jillian Michaels DVD -- don't know which one exactly. The Opening Warmup was high knee running! The Warmup! I figured by the 'top of the curve', I'd be dead. Sent that DVD to the Goodwill...
    OH NO!!! I wish you would have kept it....you should have stuck with it....just think after several months you would have had it whooped.....don't let things whoop ya....hey.....I think that might be my Mantra next month...LOL

    Don't let this Whoop ya!!

    I'm wanting a really hard and challenging workout video...I was wondering about her's cause she seems tough on TBL



  • Good morning everyone!
    Having a pretty good morning so far! Just had some Kashi Go Lean for the first time. It is ok.....but it defiantly needed the banana that I added. So now I am cleaning for a bit them making lunch and supper, then its off to work! Wish me luck with not having any ice cream or candy at work!

    well it is back to the laundry!!!

    Have a great day everyone and HAPPY CANADA DAY to all Canadians!!
  • Good morning girls! I'm doing good right now... although my stomach hasn't been feeling the best. I'm working from home today which is nice. I wasn't feeling good this morning , and my little one had a rough night so we stayed home. I love the flexibility of my company! It rocks!

    I'm going to go and eat some cheerios (I LOVE the multigrain ones) and then cut up the rest of the watermelon I bought for a healthy snack for DD and I later. Plus it won't upset our stomach further.

    Have a GREAT DAY! &
  • Eny - I love that line on your signature....

    If hunger is not the problem - food is not the answer....

    AMEN.....I have to engrave that somewhere...LOL





  • That is my life mantra... I found it online somewhere - and it makes the most sense to me! It helps to have it plastered on the refridgerator too!
  • Mckenziesmomma- Thanks for the encouragement!!

    I need to go to the gym, but I'm waiting to see how I feel and if the family wants to leave the house with me. I haven't been this weight in a long time,it's nice. I think seeing my bmi tell me I was obese and then overweight got to me.

    I'm hungry, but not sure what to eat, hmmm..
  • Eny - It makes since to me too!! Good idea...maybe I will post your mantra on my fridge to....right next to my skinny pic...LOL

    Katen - Your welcome...thats what we are all here for...to support each other......

    You gals are all so great!!

    FUNNY!!! I hope I don't run into that one. LOL

    I do exercise. I am a Jazzercisin' fool! But we start off easy and work to hard/higher impact. Starting off running has to be hard on your knees! And I love my knees! I want them to be with me for a long time.
  • Oh well.... screwed up the 'quote' this time. Bummer!
  • Happy Tuesday to everyone!! I tell ya...i just seem to stay so busy at work these days, i just never get to post anymore. Not to mention, i feel like i am sooo far off the wagon these days. Money is getting tighter and tighter and my days seem so much busier than ever. Focusing so much on getting the boyfriend moved in...what a challenge. But that should all be over by this weekend. He has to be out of the apartment by the 5th. I'm thankful for that because i can't stand dragging this out till the 18th like he was planning on. I just want it done and over with so we can get down to planning out our days together (like dinners, what time who's going to be home with the kids, ect.). Also, trying to figure out a way that i can start carpooling. It'd be nice to only drive to work one week out of every three. I could save $120 for each two weeks i don't drive. That'd be great! Plus my boyfriend paying half the rent and electric. But, i'd have to drop the gym membership cause i wouldn't be able to go if i'm carpooling...so there's another $55 a month. But, i can always jog down my dirt road. Be a change of pace from the gym. As long as i'm getting my 50 minutes of excersize in 3-4 times a week, it doesn't matter where i get it in.

    Eating is kinda off too. I get paid on the 5th, so i can go grocery shopping and get my healthy choices and salads.
  • So what are some good workout dvds?
  • Quote: So what are some good workout dvds?
    That's a good question...today I did MTV The Grind's dance workout but it didn't seem very intense....yesterday I did some Tae Bo but the tapes are older than dirt...LOL

    I want Jillian Michaels 30 day shred sooooo bad...but can't afford it



  • I look forward to being at least -16. That's 2 lbs/week for 8 weeks. My current weight is 173.5; a successful challenge would be put me around 157lbs.

    My plan:
    Lower calorie intake
    Water and seltzer only
    Multivitamin and biotin daily
    30-45 mins/cardio at gym daily
    200 crunches/day
    Entire Taebo DVD every morning, beginning July 4th
    Yoga every Sunday
    Lower salt intake

    July 1-September 1... I'm going to do this!
