Happy New Year!
:youcandoit:

1/1-Today I am off from the gym, the hubs is working the parade today so I have no clue what time he will be home from work and our gym closes at 6. I think the kiddos and I might walk the mall.

 

on my way to ride my bike for a year. oops, a mile, lol!... btw, my planter's thing is so much better, but then we went to legoland the other day and i was on my feet for 4 hours. big mistake! that set me back a bit and i'm still not ready to go back to everything i used to do. but, slowly i am doing much more than a month or so ago.... ok, sorry for the rant.

happy new year! maybe we all be much healthier, and a li'l bit happier than last year!


~~jl (who can't attach my cute photo to my ticker for some reason!)

 

Thank you, jl! I wish the same for all of us too. I hope that foot starts to feel better. I have to call the foot doctor about mine. Not sure if the same old foot problem is rearing it's ugly head or that I might have hurt my achilles tendon. Dang feet!

It's hard to get a good photo for the ticker! I have a devil of a time trying to size a photo for an avatar here on TS, so no avatar because I don't feel like fighting with the computer.

1/2-60 minutes of zumba today

 

Happy New Year Ladies! I've been exercising very seriously, just had no time to post, but would like to join this thread again.

1/2: 45 mintues on the bike (i think it said 13.6 miles). Right now I'm entering my food and workouts on my fitness pal, but I did not like that it only asked for time not distance for the bike.

 

Lisa, I use my fitness pal too (in addition to WW) and I wish when both sites asked about activities, you could put in more info than they allow you too.

1/4-60 minutes of zumba tonight
1/5-off tomorrow, my Mom will be up early and we are taking my DD back to the dance and then after that is preparing for the kid family party :faint:

as always... hasfit.com

 

1/7 45 minutes on the bike
1/8 55 minutes on the bike

I'm restarting slowly. I'm going to check out hasfit later. I know i will only do the bike tonight. I fell off a stepladder at work this morning, twisted my ankle and banged up my knee (huge black and blue already). I stopped home to change my shoes and totally forget so i'm still in my pumps.

 

Last year I was working out 3-4 times a week using some Workout Apps on my tablet, that were really nice and useful, but I stopped at some point in September - when we took a vacation and I kind of slacked off, then all of a sudden November came, I decided I won't start excersising before the holidays, so I gained 6 pounds since September - and I feel and look out of shape.

I got P90X (as a Christmas present at my request) and I started it on Monday 1/7. That thing is so cool, I am annoyed I didn't get it sooner, I must have been living under a rock, I just discovered it last month, I realize now it's been around since 2007 and it's very popular. For those of you who are just like me, P90X is a workout DVD program that is supposed to reshape your body in 90 days - based on the idea of muscle confusion, each day you do a different excersise - it comes with 12 DVDs. It comes with a nutrition plan also, but I don't plan to follow that, I think just working out and eating healthy in general and cutting down sweets should be OK for me. Each muscle in my body aches and I am only on day 3 . I am posting here hoping this would motivate me even more to keep going. It's at least an hour a day so I have been waking up earlier to do it, just like when I was working out last year. You have to do it 6 days a week, that is more than I was doing before but I want to push myself.

So that's my thing, I will try to keep you guys posted. Have fun everyone!

 

Lisa, I hope your knee is feeling better :hug:
:welcome: Monica...your review of p90x sounds like everything I've heard about it. Tough but good. Wish you all the best on it and keep us posted!

Hello ladies! I was wondering if I can join you in here?

I started back exercising this week. Starting slow, I have knee problems and if I do too much too fast I know I'll be hobbling. Mon and Wed I did Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown DVD for 30 mins each time.

My plan right now is to do that m/w/f, and after a couple of weeks start doing something else t/th. I like that hasfit site so I might start pulling stuff from there!

 

:welcome: Danielle! We would love to have you here!

Just to update: Wednesday, I did 40 minutes of kickboxing.
Thursday was the same as I planned, body works class
Today will be an hour of zumba.

 

i totally forgot to update here. I did 40-50 minutes on the bike every day this week. (i need more mindless reading for when I'm on the bike). Once my basement is put back together I can start more intense workouts.

 

:welcome: Danibell! It's so nice to have you here with us! I'm very happy you checked out hasfit.com, I think you will like it and find exercises you will like.

Today I did 15 minutes inferno fat burning then 6 minutes flat abs

 

Saturday-40 minutes on the elliptical and 20 on the bike
Sunday-60 minutes of zumba.

 

1/19 - off day
1/20 - 15 minutes sweat is fat crying + 7 minutes flat abs

 

Argh. I am feeling very disheartened this week (well, month actually). I have been consistently working out since my first workout (11/26) and I am not seeing ANY results. I did only do 2-3 workouts a week for the 2 weeks surrounding Christmas, but I have really been sticking to 5 days a week. My weight this morning was the same as the day I started.

I've gotta change something. Instead of just running my butt off (literally), I started doing 30 minutes weights followed by 30 minutes of cardio this week. I really need to build muscle, plus it burns more calories than fat. I know I need to drink more water every day. And I have to stop eating my kids' food. I don't actually sit down and eat a meal... most days I eat the kids leftovers instead of wasting them. I thought that since I wasn't eating a lot it wouldn't be that bad, but it isn't working. So, we will see how these 3 changes help.

1/14 - 55 minutes jogging (4.4 miles)
1/15 - 55 minutes jogging (4.4 miles)
1/16 - off
1/17 - 30 minutes weights (legs), 30 minutes jogging (2.5 miles), 15 minutes abs
1/18 - off
1/19 - 30 minutes weights (arms), 30 minutes jogging (2.5 miles), 15 minutes abs
1/20 - 30 minutes weights (legs), 30 minutes jogging (2.5 miles), 15 minutes abs

Starting weight - 150.4 lbs
Goal weight - 135 lbs

 

Meagan, I am so sorry that you are feeling discouraged. Do you track your food? I wonder if that will help. I hope the changes you make work. It is so frustrating when you are working hard and not seeing the results you want. Keep us posted with how you are doing.
