Oh, and Carlee, I was going to mention - 30 Day Shred is great but hard! I though, oh geeze, a 30 minute workout...this'll be eeeeasy...

About 12 seconds in I was dying :lol:

It's the best at home workout though, I feel like you really get your "money's" worth, so to speak. I'm always sore the next day, and I always feel just as energized with 30DS as I do after an hour of Zumba.

Puyallup, WA. I am sure you have been to the Puyallup Fair then. But we are not a super small town with cows everywhere. Thats what people think because of the Fair.

Hey girls... Wow, I've had a busy day today... no playing around today... EEKK!!!
I'm eating some yogurt right now.. ugh!! soo not my fav... ;)

Hope everyone is having a great day.... I'm super busy tonite, my man is buying a new car, and he wants me to go help him pick it out.. :D

Have a good one everyone... I love getting to know all of you... so glad we have this thread!!! :hugs:

Selena, I throw some fiber one cereal or a little granola on my light vanilla yogurt - it gives it some crunchies and a little extra flavor without adding a lot of calories, really.

And Amy - I used to ride at the Fair every year! The last time I was there was 2004 (I think), I was rodeo queen that year. Totally fun!

Rachel, hard is ok for me. I want it to be actually.

All throughout high school I was in Color Guard..most people just think "look at those flags with the marching band"..not as easy at it looks! We spun rifles (wooden but like ROTC) and sabres. My director was hard core..we had a "warm up" it was 100 push ups and 100 crunches and more..and that was at 5am in the morning...and we had to run a full track lap for every person who was late...one morning we did the warm up...ran 5 laps..and you got extra laps...if you walked at any point..then rehearsal all over that football field from 6a-10am..and boy..let me tell you..wooden rifles and metal sabres hurt when they land wrong in your hand. If you mumbled a "choice" word or a few choice words...we got 10 push ups for every letter in that "choice" word. If we didn't catch the flag, rifle or sabre and dare let it touch the ground...each drop was 10 push ups!

Yes..even during all of that was heavy...but coming from 8th grade into summer camp my 9th grade year...those 2 or 3 weeks in the Texas heat...doing all that I dropped 20lbs! Our director also gave us crunches and push ups if he found us drinking sodas. Even though I hate authority...those were the most awesome times!

We also had to learn ballet and there was also Winter Guard..it's inside in the gym to your own music..not the band's...woo hoo. But we also got push ups for being heavy on our feet because it sounded like a heard of elephants...so that was fun...had to run/dash...in a pretty manner and not make a sound on a wooden gym floor. Gosh I miss it! (true story..I really do miss it)

Yeah, hard is definitely good! It's a great workout, and there are three levels, so that's the best part. I got my copy on ebay, you might be able to find one there cheaply.

I think you're going to like it! All that color guard stuff sounds hardcore!

Awesome..Ebay has some cool stuff. I was looking at Amazon at first and the dvd was 8 plus shipping..so I figured I needed that amount roughly.

--wow..ebay has them cheaper than Amazon...now to find an ipod charger..hopefully cheaper too

where did everyone go? :(

O I forgot to mention everytime I look of the tittle of this thread (or whatever you call it) I always think it says:
BOOTIELIOUS!!! Like got to much Bootie!!!! Which I do!:o
Amy

Wish this thing had spell check! My spelling sucks!:(
is it Booty or Bootie????

Congrats Amy!!

15 lbs is awesome. I wish I had your determination.

Yesterday my mom wanted fast food...so we ate it..then last night I had a near temper tantrum needing another fast food item. I swear I'm addicted to fast food.

I haven't drank sodas in 3 or so years..and I come back to my parents..and boom! I MUST have diet sodas. So no more diet sodas ..darn it!

I think you have to be a member for 20 days to get a ticker.

Hey everyone!!!

Amy, bootilicious can be a good thing...right??? haha, now I'm not so sure.

Carlee, I'm addicted to fast food too. Taco Bell specifically, which, when you think about it, is kind of gross. It's not really the most high quality food....but it's my weakness, what can I say? :D

I'm not very active on the boards during the weekends, I know I need to be better about that.

Soooo....how was everyone's weekend?!? Good/bad/otherwise?

Do we need goals for every week? I think we should!

Even though it's monday, everyone can post their goal by tonight, and then the challenge can go till next Monday morning to see if you've met it. Sound good?

Hey Hey Hey Hey!!!! Sorry, I am not around on weekends, I go out of town to be with my honey!!!! **sigh... the man is just too dreamy!!! anyway.. I digress... I did VERY good this weekend... SATURDAY was my 1st official day at WW... I love it... The group leader has made me her PROJECT for the year... she said she is gonna get this weight off me.. THIS YEAR!!! I am tooo excited.....We got along great...
I got up this morning and worked out ....did cardio and I will do more tonite!!!
I am soo motivated this morning!!!
Hope everyone has an awesome day!!!!! xoxoxox

" Hard doesn't equal impossible."

Amy I hate Mondays too. I usually am up at least a pound on Monday morning because of too much liberty...I'm really good during the week, because I only eat what I bring. But on the weekends...it's way harder. Too many tempting goodies. :nono: Good for you on the 30 Day Shred though, that's a great dvd!

Sooo....my goal for this week is to go to 4 gym classes, try at least one that I haven't tried before, and to curb the "partying" this weekend.
