Good for you! I got up at 5:50 yesterday; the upstairs neighbors woke me ... it sounded like World War III. I had to move my bed around so my head wasn't directly beneath the sounds of bounding up and down on the floor. If it kept up I was going to threaten my landlord.

Of course, it takes me a very long time to have breakfast. It is by far the largest meal of my day, so no workout ...

I managed to get up at 5 am again, and got in another Turbo Jam workout!


(Did TJ yesterday am, too!)

Tina ,, I try to yoga ,, but for the most part it is just boring to me ,, I try to get into it,. But every now and again I take out a video, and pop it in and try again,

W'Breezes, I do plenty, plenty of yoga, primarily at home, I have my own yoga practice sequence that needs no technology and lasts over an hour, as well.

It's just that I rediscovered I like to do good old fashioned exercise like we did back in the day. My body is built better for it (it's even built better for pilates than yoga), and I can do it to the beat to all this disco music I have ...

Now, I have to get a mat thick enough not to hurt my buns and legs as I carry out the ritual ... forgotten how my tailbone rubbing chafes between the "cheeks"

If it were just yoga, I would not have decided to join this team.

Yea Tiniertina ,, I have 4 yoga CD's and they sit there and stare at me ,, I keep telling myself one of these days I am going to try again, but My treadmill is so much easier you just go get on it , hit the program button you want and work out. LOL

This new board is for when you finally figure out that your yoga CD isn't everything ... and it isn't the ONLY thing ...

Hope to do my workout this evening when I get home from work.

There are some days I find I just literally have to force myself to get up and do anything, Today is one of those days but I am going to go down and walk on my treadmill I am going to try for 60 minutes , but we will see.

Have a nice day everyone

I wasn't to ambitous today but i still did fit in 2 workouts. its a good thing i don't go to the gym, because it was cold and crappy so i wasn't in the mood to go out, but when i did there was hail.

Thought the sinus problem was over, no headache last night at work or this morning before bed time, but woke up 5 hours later with stuffiness , coughing, and headache from sinus'es again.

Dont know if its my sinus's trying to clean themselves out after smoking for so long and recently quitting , or maybe smoking covered up allergies that are now free to reek habit or what.

I feel your pain. Hope you feel better soon.

i'm feeling under the weather today ,, been having sinuse pressure headaches for the last 2 days

I am trying to get motivated today, its my day off and I just plain don't feel like doing anything tho I know I need to .

Went to the gym and burned 970 cal! I am planning on doing my home workout on the Wave tonight!!

I need to stay home and get to my exercise plans.
All I do is run, run, run......and not the running exercise either.

I have been lazy and not doing my workouts and boy has it shown I gained 3 lbs back,,

No more , being lazy.

I have recently stepped up my workouts quite a bit....more challenging/intense DVD's with both cardio and strength as well as incorporating a lot of new things/variety.

I have the biggest loser season 2 DVD. Has anyone else ever done this one? The low impact is positively kicking my butt!! You are supposed to alternate the low impact cardio and strength every other day for 3 weeks and then move on to alternating the high impact cardio and strength. I am in my second week of the low and I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO DIE 1/2 WAY THROUGH!!! Afterwards, I am often lightheaded and nauseous. Has anybody else experienced this when "upping the ante"?? If so what have you done to minimize those feelings? Am I pushing too hard? I looked at the high impact and I wonder if I will be ready for it in 2 weeks? Oh, also I am on phentermine as well as BP meds. Would either of these, when combined with working harder, be a contributing factor or am I just pushing myself too hard?

The tread mill is great, i just have to figure out how to program my workout on it, although i found that i am not ready to do its programmed workouts they are way to fast for me to follow.

Its nice to see old freinds and catch up isn't it.

Well my week has not been so good, for some reason this week I have been binging and craving a lot of food. and over eating, I don't know what going on but will work on that this coming week,

10 pounds is 3 weeks is going to be tough to do it in a healthy way,, they usually say , 2 lbs a week is max, Good Luck tho

I am going to the gym this morning - lifting weights and doing a Spinning Class.

Good news: my friend from SC is coming down in 3 weeks! Happy to see her, it's been a year!

Not so good news: my weight loss goal is for June, not May...I'm not to certain that I can lose 10 pounds in 3 weeks. You can read my blog. Any help is welcome!


WinterBreezes - how's the new treadmill?

My New treadmill will be here tomorrow morning. I Can't wait,,, How is everyone doing? How was Easter for everyone?

have a nice day

Everyone, Happy Easter!

I'm still waiting on my Golds Gym 860 treadmill to get here, but I still work out on my old treadmill.

Used my Total Gym for the first time; just a couple exercs to get accustomed to it. I like it!

I've been doing lower intensity excercies this week. i haven't been feeling well- sore throat, sleepy and crabby. i did not let that be an excuse to not work out at all. i just did more stretching and lower intensity cardio.

I don't post often if at all, and I think that this might be the first time here. I was wondering what anybody thought of that Zumba DVD. I have a torn meniscus in my left knee, but I love to dance.

Welcome XHOOSIERLOSER! Yes, you will find lots of great ideas for working out in the privacy of your own home.

Sounds like you're on the right track.

Hi, I'm just joining the team, but I've been on SP since July. I do my workouts at home, and have moved from totally hating exercise in any form, even the written word, to enjoying a few things as I start to feel stronger - LOL! I'm really interested in learning more about what others are doing. I'm seeing some great things from you all!

Just popping in to say Hi. I found a package of 2 FIRM DVDs at Target tonight for $14.99. I think that was a pretty good price. Probably not as good as I could do at a garage sale, but I've been wanting something new. I got "Total Body Time Crunch" and "Bootcamp Maximum Cardio Burn". So now I'm looking forward to giving them a try!

Bad hair problems - you can read my blog.

I FINALLY lifted weights last night!

Good Morning! It is Ash Wednesday (beginning of Lent), so I am off to mass, then to work, and will be doing the elliptical and bike after work tonight. A full day. Will also be eating meat-free today. (PBJ for lunch, and salmon for dinner.)

Looks like another cold one - so stay warm!

i have not been motivated to get as much as my projects done. i found out at a meeting on monday that a goal that i wanted to do is now a requirement so the pressure is on!

Hi Everyone!

HAPPY Day! Hope each of you are having a great day.

I didn't get a workout in today, but I have been doing a lot of cleaning. I'm doubtful it burned a lot of calories, but that's okay. I just needed to get this stuff done.

I think it's a great idea to do a different DVD eahc day. I'm getting ready to try 30 day Shred. Can't wait til it gets here.

Have a great evening.
Hugs,
Cynthia

I'm trying to do one exercise DVD a day.

It's allways a different one each day. So I'm not getting bored.

CMATHUR, good for you. I have been switching up my workouts too, and so far it seems to be working. I find myself NOT getting bored or burnt out on one type of exercise. That for me is a huge part of the battle.

Starting a new strength routine today! So excited. Changing it up weekly might be the magic trick!

I hate to see anyone in pain.

Christie,

Bless you and thank you for letting us know about this, I know what it's like to lose someone too. I hope that she heals soon and that she has many friends and family like you to help her through this time of need. Thank you again.

A member of our team has recently lost her husband. I thought we could support her right now with some messages and goodies of hope.

I committed to doing the 30-Day Shred at the beginning of December. I was doing well until Christmas day - then I missed 3 days in a row. But today I picked it back up again and finally finished level 2. I'm planning to move on to level 3 tomorrow. I've lost a couple pounds of weight, but best of all, I can see my core tightening up a bit - that's definately a good thing!!

I WILL FINISH!

I didn't get any working out in tonight. Too much running around and I steam cleaned the twins rug and son #2's rug, then did my financial aid application for school and now I'm here. Will add in an extra mile or two tomorrow night.

all the best for the adoption day

My house is spotless now. We aren't accepting visitors until after Wednesday. LOL We are waiting for someone to come by the house to inspect for the adoption we are waiting for. My hubby is adopting my daughter. Court date is 11/19/09 at 10am. Super excited about that.

Girl Scouts was draining. Not sure why we didn't do anything except write thank you notes to a few people that helped us in the Halloween Parade.

Hope everyone is getting their workouts in and is enjoying themselves.

Have a great one!!

Just got some cleaning done in the house. Soon we will be getting ready for trick or treating.

Have a great Halloween everyone!!

Last night wasn't all that great. Only 21/2 hours sleep. It's going to be a long day. Some nights I just can't seem to shut off the mind and get some sleep. Oh well, things could be worst, this is just a minor detail. The good news is that hubby comes home tonight after being gone since Sunday. He works out of the province during the week. He's a weekend hubby.

Welcome to the group. Have a great day.

I got in a workout last night. Not real intense though. I had to wait til the kids were in bed and then I took over the TV. I was happy when it was over didn't want to do it.
