Morning Linda! I'd say you ARE focusing on yourself and doing very well with that. I used to compare myself to everyone else too and be depressed cos I wasn't losing as much or as fast. But one day I realized, hey this is me. I'm not them! I can only work on me, don't worry about how fast or slow or whatever. It's made a big difference in my attitude.

As far as joining the WOWY group, go to your TBB account, click on ABOUT, then COMMUNITY. Scroll down to Workout Groups, click on Find Workout Group, then See All Workout Groups at the bottom of the page. Then on the top right box type in 'Holiday Challenge' and scroll till you find "90 Day Fitness Challenge Group". When you workout in WOWY, if there are any others from the group working out at the same time, their picture will show up

I haven't done my workout yet...but if I'm still not done by then, I might join ya at 2. I slept in cos I was so tired.

Yesterday's menu - coffee, asian rice crackers, Choco Shakeol, boiled egg, fruit and nut Food Bar, water, 1/2 Green Shakeol w/vanilla almond drink, pistachios, baked chicken, steamed veggies (broccoli, celery, kohlrabi, Hawaiian sweet potato) black rice.

Have a great day!

Jodi-when are YOU going to enter MDB & show off your muskles?

RE: 53 Years Young and Ready to be YOUR coach!

Oops, forgot to give the heads up on todays workout.

Mixed it up a bit and did HHA Fat Burning Cardio 2 and Last Minute Abs. Felt good and oh what a challenge. LOVED IT! Both TJ and HHA tend to have longer cardio segments (steady) with a brief rest period before getting back to it. RA has shorter cardio segments with longer rest periods.

Had planned on doing FBC2 with PI next week. Now I know its not a good idea. Picked what I think will be a less challenging addition.

WOWY is done. Saturdays list is as follows:

Betty
Kathy
Jodi
Betsy

4 SIS have PP today

Debra, super job with Total Strength & Mercy Abs. It has been quiet here. Could be due to the forum/site not always running up to par. Enjoy your anniversary weekend.

Joe, What they give they take away (Quick Reply). Must be a glitch with it. As far as the avatar, post the one that looks most like you now. I found a video on Utube of someone singing the song Lexie is working on. (Se tu m'ami, se sospiri) She was amazing. Glad you received the RA and 1/1. Betty wants to try it out next. We'll get her address when you are ready to send it on. Glad that you and Punki got out dancing last night.

Appt today. Putting up outdoor decorations and errands later. Geez, remember this time last year we put the tree up too. Company for Thanksgiving was the reason it was done. We did it for the young kids that would be here.

Enjoy your Weekend,

Jodi

Good Friday evening SIS,

Well, we just got home and I discovered that my earlier post disappeared, so I reposted it, then discovered that my original one was on the next page.

Shouts out to all the rest of my SIS. DUH! This makes my brain hurt...I'm going to bed.

See you in the morning.

Evening Angels! We actually saw the sun today!! It really seem to help everyone's mood!

Darlene---Jeez 400 cal---great job! Did you have the chicken tonight? I had a grilled cheese on rye made with 2% American cheese so it was somewhat low fat. Didnt feel like anything else. Bet you are glad to be done with computers for awhile!

Becky- sorry to hear about DSIL's Mom - it is never easy losing a loved one! Good job on BIU---I think I will give SI6 another whirl once we are done with CE. Sounds like you will be having a nice Thanksgiving with all the people that are coming. Is everyone bringing something or are you making it all? I can't wait to have turkey, stuffing and swt potatos - I have such a taste for it!!

Betty - I have to agree with Darlene and Becky about DH--I am sure the holidays have something to do with him freaking out. Glad he is doing better. It is such a stressful time of year. Remember when it use to be fun and enjoyable?? You certainly are doing good with spinning and doing your own PT---that is great!

I am enjoying CE this time. I am not using super heavy weights. They seem to be just the right length for me. I am starting to get use to coming home and wo. Helps with the stress of the day!! In the AM now I enjoy a nice cup of coffee and watch the news.

My oldest son told me a week or so ago that after the holidays he is moving to FL---he has a friend from HS who lives down there. His Mom owns a cleaning business so he is going to work for her. Well yesterday he called me and work to tell me he is leaving Thanksgiving Day!!!! His Christmas gift is his one way air line ticket--I get to mark him off my list. Have to admit this hit me very hard and I wasnt expecting it to!!! I was up at 3 AM.

My youngest DD came home today for the holiday. She came over tonight for awhile. She will be spending Thanksgiving w/her Dad. We will probably go shopping on Fri. Do you any of you go shopping on Black Friday? I love to get the paper on Thanksgiving AM, look at the ads and plan my shopping day!! My oldest DD will not be coming home---not enough time off. Maybe instead of buying a turkey I should buy a cornish hen--LOL

Enjoy your evening!!

Betsy

Good Friday evening SIS,

Just noticed that the Quick Reply button is gone. ????

Left work a little early tonight since we're going out for dinner and dancing with friends tonight at the Elks.

Debra, You are HIDING the blubber pretty darn well!
BTW, I like the new pic too.

Been thinking of changing avatar too. Can't decide if I want to post the sans beard one or just a new beard one.
Punki asked me today when I was going to start growing my beard because she wants to have a family portrait taken when our DD is home for Christmas, and she doesn't want me to look scruffy. So I'm going to stop shaving on Monday. It should look okay by then.

Jodi,great news about your BIL.
WTG with the FBA & TJ workout today. Sounds tough!
Want me to pick up some Italian music for Lexie when we're in Rome?
Don't worry about my getting too tired dancing tonight...I'm going to take it easy.
BTW, I received the RevAbs and 1/1 dvd's from Kim today.

Kim, here, paste this!
Good job with the Push 3 workout today. Ask Santa for the Selec Techs.

Barb, hope that you get over the symptoms soon.
Too cool thing about your DH's job, must be lots of fun.

Betty, how many miles are on the DD's car? My brakes need replacing too, but only the rears for now. Seems that the cost for that is still less than making payments on a new car.
Good job with your weights and PT this morning.

Elain, you ok? Or just busy?

Ok, gotta get dressed, so see you tomorrow.

Shouts out to all the rest of my SIS.

Joe

2009-11-21T02:05:03Z

Where did everyone go??? And where did the quick reply button go? Thats not nice giving it to us and then taking it away!

I just finished Total Strength and Mercy Abs. Tomorrow afternoon we head up to Winstar. Its a casino about an hour north of us in Oklahoma. We will spend the night and then have massages scheduled in the morning. It was my present ot my hubby for our anniversary.

Have a good evening everyone,
Debra

RE: BettyBech's Thread

2009-11-21T00:54:07Z

Hi Angels,

Hmmm, it looks like the "good button" has been taken away. The site was having a lot of problems today, maybe that's why they took it down.

Darly, I'll bet it feels great to be done with the computers at home for a while.

I hope DS made it home in his car! My DD's car used to be my mom and dad's so it's kind of a sentimental thing to see it go. It will probably take her a month to get it cleaned out so it will be around for a while yet. She has a big "Abby Road" sign in its back window.

You did a great job on your workout last night!!

Becky, I'm glad you are doing better today. I saw you in WOWY this morning!

Felicity (receptionist) is doing much better today. She said the lights were really bothering her yesterday.

I did tell my friends about the pickle juice. I don't know if any of them used it. I haven't run with them since before the marathon.

That's very sad about DSIL's mom passing. Was it unexpected?

It's kind of fun to plan for Thanksgiving. Becky, you're going to have lots of excitement at your place! We aren't having our celebration until the Saturday after. My nephew has to work T'giving and DD is going to DBFs families (parents are divorced) for several meals on Thurs.

Glad you made it out with friends last night. Super glad you solved our problems, thanks!!

DH is doing better. He maybe had an off day the other day. Our master bath shower area has started showing signs of water damage. We had a contractor over yesterday. It looks like we're going to have some major work done. Oddly enough I think dealing with that problem has helped his mood.

On the car, DD drove DH's car today since she had class only from 9-9:45 (rough day, huh?!). That is one benefit of having him home - his car is usually available

Betsy, good that you've been working out, too!

I keep forgetting to tell you I've been reading that book "The End of Overeating.." by David Kessler. It's really good! It's the kind of book you should probably read a couple of times a year so you don't forget the message. He describes why food has such power over us and how it's made by layering fat/sugar/salt/sugar/fat/salt in unbelievable combinations that makes it impossible to pass up. Some of the info makes you lose your appetite which is amazing because he's describing food that I usually LOVE. It kind of makes you feel like you've "been had" and makes you want to steer clear of it.

Darly, he has a chapter on the creator of Cinnabon and so far she's come off as the best! She says she didn't create the cinnamon rolls to be eaten constantly - they are just supposed to be an ever now and then treat. She's worried about our children and obesity.

I'm running really late so I'd better get going. DH and I went to the grocery store after work tonight.

P.S. I did my own weights and PT again this morning.

Have a great evening, Angels!

Betty

RE: 53 Years Young and Ready to be YOUR coach!

2009-11-20T19:49:36Z

Woohoo! Great news Jodi!!

Betty/Kim - thanks for the compliments on the new pic. I like it cause I was smiling. All because of meeting my SIS Kim!!

Barb - very cool about your hubby being on Cake Boss. I have never watched it but have seen the previews. I will try and catch the episode.

Kim (aka Superwoman) - I cant believe the amount of weight you lift! WTG!! Just dont hurt those abs again.

I wish my recent weight gain was due to muscle!! I got a major blubber belly going on here. Im back to tracking my food since I tend to slack off if I dont. You would think I could maintain without tracking it all the time.

Got a meeting in a bit, see ya tonight
Debra

RE: Round One Start date Sept 21st. Anyone else?

2009-11-20T18:47:27Z

Man I hope your not taking a cold. It would be hard to do this with a cold for sure. Yes I still have trouble getting past the 40 masons myself. Wed I stopped at 30 for quick break but made myself do 50 total because I paused. It was crazy. Well I did not find the time to get all of YogaX in yesterday. Time I got out of the office it was late so I got through the venyasas, the hard part but only did about 40 mins. The good news is that I am rested for legs and back tonight. Hopefully I can get good numbers on my pull ups. I too have to use a chair after about 6 regular. Then each round is one or 2 less before the chair. HA HA. I am trying to do a few negatives each time to increase my strength. when I can't even get anymore with the chair. I tweeked something in my back under my shoulder blade in week 3 phase 1 that still seems to bother me. I am seeing some improvement over the same workout in phase one which gives new life to the determination. Have a great weekend. Hope you stay well.

Just heard from my sister. There were NO SIDE EFFECTS from my BIL Tom's flu shot. This is highly irregular. ANSWERED PRAYER. Thanks SIS

2009-11-20T17:13:55Z

Thanks Barb. The time is late though, 10:30 PM is past my bedtime. Will it be availabe to watch online?

Kim, the same thing has happened to me, Page won't open. Started out earlier today, slow load to get to WOWY. I logged off the net and back on, then it was fine. Diagnosic showed connection was good. TBB must be having problems today. Its not your computer.

WTG with Push 3 today. Take it easy if you should get new weights. Don't be tempted to go too heavy. Don't need a repeat injury.

Errand done in record time.

Jodi

RE: BettyBech's Thread

Hi Angels,

Thought I better get in here before I run errands again.

I feel better today can still feel it a little, but much better than the last two days.

Darlene, I know you wouldn't want to jinx me, just pickin' on ya

Great job on burning 400 calories!! Those Burn Intervals do kick it up a notch!

Glad you got rid of that computer. I hope DS#2 makes it home alright. Does DH get a little antsy when you sit and stare at him LOL glad he made it home safe and sound. Does he ever get my way? If so, I think you need to hitch a ride with him so we can visit while he is working! BTW I just saw that Manatron is adding jobs (that is who you got some software from, I think)

They need to get rid of "reply" and "quick reply" and make it so you can reply like before the change! Sometimes change isn't always good.

Betty, sorry to hear DH is starting to freak out. I agree with Darlene, probably with the holidays coming up. I'm hoping things are starting to turn around with the first of the year coming. I've got my fingers crossed for him still.

Sorry to hear your receptionist has a migraine too. No fun working with one, I've done that before. Hope she feels better.

It's hard to share cars when you have different schedules. I hope you're able to figure out something soon.

That is so funny about the earth losing gravity and floating around. Sounds like a good dream. I'm always dreaming I'm flying high above the trees like Superman hehehe.

You're doing a great job doing all your PT exercises, using the ball and spin classes, yours or Dennis'. Did you ever mention the pickle juice to your marathon friends? I forgot to ask my DSIL.

DSIL's mom just passed away yesterday and she was down in Puerto Rico visiting her Dad. She is on her way home today. Poor thing. Her mom has not had a good quality of life the last few years, it is still hard though.

Today was BIU, with a few pauses in there! One of these days I'm going to master that one without any pauses.

Betsy, how are you. Miss your smiling face here. I know you're checking in with Darlene.

What's everyone doing for Thanksgiving? We're having lucky 13 people here and 2 dogs can hardly waitThe kids will be home, doing the Snoopy dance.

I did make it out with my DGFs last night. We solved all the world's problems. I was good and had a chopped salad and tea, a few chips. Came home and had my new favorite snack (at night), shredded wheat with chocolate soymilk. Helps my chocolate craving, then went to bed at 9:00.

Have a great day gals.

Elain-I alwasy think of you as I lower my achy hips into the tub of epsoms

Jodi-tell Lexie she is impressive & will go far if she keeps at it.
You are improving on those tough moves-WTG!

Are you gaining some weight with all those muscles? That may be the 'why' to your snacking.Your body is askin gyou to please give it more protein & good carbs-choose wisely & it will stop whining!

My DH gained some muscle mass & weight-he is using 85# dumbells for biceps

I appear to finally be making some headway & see muscle in my arms & quads-doc is gettin gmy hormones balanced.

Today was Push3. I seem to have outgrown my weights!
I really need those 50# set of SelecTechs-used 30#'s for Presses, 35#'s for rows & lower body, plus 1 35# for overhead tricep.

Guess I'll catch up again...

Yesterday's workout was RevAbs Power Intervals and I threw in CE Get Lean Intervals for good measure Today it was RevAbs Fire Up Your Abs and Mercy Abs.

Thursday's menu - Recovery Drink, boiled egg, edamame, Choco Shakeol w/flaxseed, asian rice crackers, baked teriyaki rabbit, steamed kale and mustard greens, black rice, water.

Yes, I saw Sandy's video...she is very thin! But don't compare yourself to anyone else, Linda. Just compare yourself to yourself...like your past self and keep your eye on your future self. You are getting there and I'm so happy for you. I think the challenge will go on till the end of March. There will be prizes. Jen will be posting all this soon.

Ok, I'll be back later. Going grocery shopping today. Woot!

Have an awesome day!

Rest well today,
Jodi
