Lazy girl seeks exersize buddies!

[sbaquera78]

I am interested in finding a work out buddy too. I have been doing protein power for about 6 weeks and I think it is really easy to follow. Now I just have to get back into workout mode. I did turbo jam today, but I am so bored with it. Have any reccomendations?

[scrappychik]

Stacey! Not sure what to recommend. I got bored with the treadmill and started looking around the board for something new. I discovered Callanetics and I LOVE it!! I posted the link to that thread in a post above. But it's NOT cardio. If that's what you are looking for, maybe try Tae Bo? Ive heard many on here like it and I remember when I did it years ago, I thought it was a good workout and Billy isnt annoying like some of the other exercise gurus-KWIM? HTH I would love to have another buddy

[sbaquera78]

Thanks Lisa! I actually borrowed my neighbors tae boe last night. She had recomended it also. I am going to read up on this Callanetics. I have been seeing a lot about it on this sight. I am always looking for something different. I agree about the treadmill. I did it the whole time I was pregnant with my son, and to this day I can not get back on Oh well! Keep up the good work!

So you took me up on my idea, eh? How was it? I am doing hour 6 of Callanetics later today. I took my before photos and UGH is all I can say. Next set will show some improvement-I hope!! Im taking my girls to Wendys for lunch. We're walking, so hopefully I will work off some of the bunless baconator I plan to eat Have a great day

[sbaquera78]

I really enjoyed tae boe, but I definitly want to try out Callanetics. It sounds like a good change up. I am going to order it from Amazon. Hope I can get it here by the weekend! Hope dinner is delish!!

[scrappychik]

Hey Stacey! I ordered mine from Amazon and signed up for Amazon Prime. You get FREE 2 day shipping on anything (30 day trial membership). Only catch-if you dont want to continue after 30 days and be charged the 79.99 yearly fee, you must go in your account and cancel. Great deal! I have until the 19th to take advantage of mine

[sbaquera78]

Thanks for the info. That is a good deal. I got overnight shipping, so it should be here tomorrow. I can't wait. I read a little more about callanetics and it sounds like fun. Thanks again!!

Your welcome

I completed my 6th hour of Callanetics yesterday and did 30 minutes TBS today. I claimed another pound as well-new low...143!!!! I am on Day 10 of my reinduction and so far that in combo with the exercise is working well. Only 8 more pounds to goal

[sbaquera78]

Eight more? That is great. Isn't it nice to see a light at the end of the tunnel I am still at 129.5, but that is OK I figure it is do to that time of the month, and I am not going to give up. Sad to say, but I am probably going to skip my workout to day. We got a new washer and dryer, and my hubby and I had to move the new ones in and the old ones out. We also had move furniture out of the way and let me tell you I can feel it :P I am beat!
Is it OK to have wine? I kept it in my carb count, but I had a glass of red wine while watching UFC last night. My favorite fighter won last night, so I was celebrating
Anyway have a great night and I look forward to checking in tomorrow!

[scrappychik]

Stacey. It sounds like you already got quite a workout! I know many here who have wine once in a while , just know that when you drink, your body will burn the alcohol first. I did another hour of Callanetics this AM. I cant wait to hear what you think of it. See ya tomorrow

[scrappychik]

Total Body Sculpt this AM. Still weighing 143. TOM is due any day, so not expecting losses this week

[sbaquera78]

I just got my shipment from Amazon last night, just one problem....worng DVD :0 Go figure!! Anyway I called and they said they would ship one right out. They were really nice about it. So hopefully by Saturday I will have the correct one. So I notice on your signature "the brickwall busters challenge" What is that?

I did tae boe this am. I am taking my son to story time at the Library. 5 miles round trip Have an awesome Friday!!

[scrappychik]

Ok I did another hour Callanetics on Saturday, but havent been able to get anymore exercise in cuz I hurt my back somehow It feels like a pinched nerve. Ive been trying to lay on the heating pad as much as possible, but dang it hurts! Hope it will go away soon so I can get back to my regime

Stacey~ Have you tried Callanetics yet? Here is a link to our challenge.

---> Brick Wall Busters Challenge April 08 <---

Just some of us who tend to hit a "brick wall" during our weight-loss journey giving each other support. My next wall will be getting past the 140s into 130s.

[sbaquera78]

I just got it today! I think I looked kinda goofy the first time through, but I really liked it. I know I will get better as I go. I wish they had the classes some where in my area, but no such luck. I am so used to jumping around with my other exercize videos, that this was a nice change. Thanks for the reccomendation.

I hope that your back starts feeling better! Let me know how you are doing.

[scrappychik]

Still in pain-no exercise
Stacey~ I wish we had classes here as well. It would be so nice to have someone to correct my form. The DVD does a very good job showing and describing the exercises but I am not sure I am doing them properly to get the max benefit, KWIM?

[sbaquera78]

That is the truth. I actually brought out my mirror this morning and watched myself. It at least gave me more of an example. Did you say that you did your measurements prior to working out? I didn't. Should I ?

[scrappychik]

I havent measured since January but I did take pics after 5 hours and will take them again maybe at 15 to compare. I hope to see a difference. I FEEL my body toning and tightening and I hope its not just in my head

[scrappychik]

Just finished 30 minute Total Body Sculpt-Whew! I may get a walk in later this afternoon-it's GORGEOUS here today

[sbaquera78]

I am jealous of your weather!! Can you send some my way

[scrappychik]

How's your weather today, Stacey? Any better? It is still warm here but kinda cloudy. I just finished 10th hour of 10/10-WOOT! I dont think I will see alot odf difference in pics since I just took them after 5 hours so Im gonna wait a little longer for the "majic" to show

[sbaquera78]

Hey lisa! It is still crummy here, but they say the sun might pop through on Sunday. Here's to hoping it is true I am on the way to the grocery store this morning. I want to be back by nap time, so I have a chance to do Tae boe. I got a new one from the library. I thought this way I could check out and see which Tae Boe is the best for me. Hope you have a great weekend!! If I can pull the hubby away from the computer this weekend I will catch up with you

[scrappychik]

I LOVE the library!!! I am a total nerd and read all the time I usually finish 2-3 books a week. I am almost done my Mary Higgins Clark book-Cant wait to go and get new ones this weekend I rent my exercise DVDs from Netflix cuz I can try them out and if I like it keep it out as long as I want Have a great day!

[sbaquera78]

I was thinking about joining netflix. Do you think it is a good deal?

Which Mary higgins Clark book did you just read? She is my fav mystery author. I have read Weep no more my lady so many times I have parts memorized

[scrappychik]

I LOVE netfilx!! Have been with them for years Right now Im reading "Before I Say Goodbye". Ive read just about every one of her books my library has. Now I am moving onto Sandra Brown (romance) for a change. I worked out (TBS) on Sat AM but took a rest day yesterday. Ill do my 10/10 tonight. It really relaxes me. Whatcha been up to-walking,taebo? Have a good one. Ill check back in the AM

[sbaquera78]

I am doing callanetics as soon as my son goes down for nap this afternoon. I told the hubby that we are going to have to try out netflix this pay

Let me know what you think of Sandra Brown. I like Nora Roberts. I have read everyone of her books. I really enjoyed her last trilogy and now she has started a new one. The seconnd book of that one comes out next month. Yippee!!

How was your dinner theater?

[scrappychik]

Dinner theater was great! The show was hilarious and the food was very yummy! I decided to have a piece of frosted brownie and a cosmopolitan, but I got right back on plan the next day. Im not weighing for a few days to be sure any water weight goes away. I hate seeing a rise on the scale

[sbaquera78]

I am glad that you had a good time! I am splurging this weekend with ice cream cake for my friends Bday. Few and far between is how to do it right BTW I made those cloud things......I had one and the hubby and his buddies plowed through the rest! Bad boys!!
