How is it doing? I thought today would be a breeze because it was the fire starter day. Wrong. As you get better at the steps the workout gets more intense. I am dripping.
So here is my turbo fire tips. Wear shoes. Don't do it in your bear feet on a yoga mat. Your feet stick to the mat which makes the moves harder.
I did take my before pictures this morning. I have to keep this up after I looked at those pictures. I will post them at the end.

Thoughts of the day. I love all the summer fruits. Went for a walk with dear husband

Turbo Fire Day 5

I have to give my cut the fat friends a plug. Great podcast about those last 10 pounds. For anyone following the 27 concepts she confirmed you are on the right track. The way I am seeing it all diets are based off of these concepts and maybe that is the common thread. I wrote them down in a easy to learn form. Read them, learn them, live them.

Work out done_45EZ__ Min.____
Work out done_______ Min._____
Breakfast Coffee w/ chocolate milk, almost 2 bananas w/ PB
Lunch Salad w/ cheese and salsa
Dinner Chicken, pork brat, watermelon w/ reddi whip
Snacks

Watermelon is onsale this week at the pig. So is whip cream.

Total Calories 1311
How is it doing? I am having computer problems at work and it is driving me nuts. I have to get into work and get this finished up. Then I have a ton of work to do but I do want to workout when I get home. I will see if this works. I really do intend on working out so I need to stick to my guns. Lets see tonight I should be doing the 45EZ. If it is anything like the 55EZ. I should be on the mat at the end just whipped out. There is nothing EZ about this program. I'm not thinking I would be doing this at 50 pounds heavier. This is an advance type of work out. It is at a fast pace. If you don't gey the moves real fast I could see where you would give up. Now for my aerobic friends or jazzersice friends I would say give it a try. I think they have a sample workout on youtube.





Thoughts of the day. I did really enjoy this one. I think I am getting better at the steps. I need a shower. I feel like I really got my but kicked by TF tonight.

How is it doing? So far I think I am doing OK. Eggs were on the clearance so I have 2 dz eggs to eat over the next few days.

Thoughts of the day. I went to work out this morning and thought about the workout they had on the plan. Starter fire. I really didn't like this one and thought I would do something harder. A little harder so I picked fire 55 EZ. Now I will tell you how many times I wanted to quit. I just kept thinking it has to get easied next time. On Sat. I see the words fire starter class again. I do want to go to the gym on Sat with my friend Cindy. I will have to figure this out.

Striiv challenges I did some of these at work while my computer was scanning.

Work out done_
Breakfast Banana and peanut butter Coffee w/ chocolate milk
Lunch Salad w/ cheese and salsa
Dinner Salad greens, deli roasted chicken also watermelon and reddi whip
Total Calories 1047 a little low
I had to go back and change this # because I think someone entered a wrong calorie count on sparks. Wish full thinking that 1/4 cup of cheese is 70 calories.

How is it doing? I did get my TV fixed today. So it is back to the fre starter in the morning. Today was a day of rest.

Thoughts of the day. I was really busy today getting things done. I will be working out in the morning. While the Geek guy was here today I swept the floor, got rid of the cobwebs.
I am tired.

How is it doing? I tell you this was a rough day. I am waiting for the TV guy to fix our TV. The power supply went out. So I tried to get the dvd to play on my 13" I couldn't remember what you had to set the tv on to get it to play so I tried to play it on my computer but I forgot I ran a reg cleaner on my computer that whipped out the start to all my programs so the dvd player wouldn't launch. UUUGGG You would of thought I would of given up by now but I didn't I got it done. I tell you nothing is going to stop me from doing this.
I better check what I should be eating. The thing is I do better eating fruit and PB then putting something on 1/2 an english muffin. Remember I have a problem with carbs.

As I flipped through things I did see some fat free things which you know I also have a problem with. So I do see an area where they talk about foods and sugar vs. fat.

Thoughts of the day. I am feeling pretty good. I think the stretch is more of a yoga.
I did get more of those tiles up in the bathroom.
I thought I would also say I drink a bunch of water most of the day but I do have coffee w/ a little low/fat chocolate milk. You know I am really watching the chocolate milk. I did learn that in 1 cup of CM it has 1/4c. of sugar in it.

Striiv challenges I did a couple. Nothing to write home about.
Steps for the day Close to10,000 so this is good

Finishing touches

I will be ready to start in the morning. I still have to do a copy of the workouts so I can write on them. I figured out how to print my daily food tracker so I think I will print this just to keep it in my scrap book. I can e-mail a copy to anyone that might want it. I tell you that I do love the spark tracker. If you really want to know what I am eating look me up "lynnbaum" is my user name. I set my mom up with it so she could find some healthy things to make with the my recipes. I do see they have a easy vegan book on sparks that I think I am going to get for dear child. $2.99 I think that is a good price. I think in every persons life they say something has to change because I am not liking the direction I am headed. As of right now I am not headed down that road but Dear child(22) is.
I feel it is more important to me looking at the additives and how they grow our food rather than just cutting out groups of food. There are things in the health food store I would never eat. So here's my question??? Just because it is a fish does it mean it is healthier for you than a beef, pork or chicken product?? Is TVP or other soy products better for you??

For this challenge I will be living by the 27 concepts.
Now, I also have in my book what you are willing to do to reach your goals. What changes are you seeing that would improve your life.
Here are mine.

Willing to change
1. Clean up the ice cream addiction.
2. Working on working out everyday.

Projects I need to get done.
1. paint inside of house.
2. Finish bathroom remodel.
3. clean each room and get rid of clutter. (part of cleaning your home plate)
4. Really look at where I want to go with chatthefat. Do I have time to turn this into a business?
5. Start a meet up group for chatthefat. Share my success. Look for it in Burlington WI.


Goals.
1. Do a 5K under 30 min.
2. Have fun with working out and make it more important in my life.

I might have to really think harder at this list. But you see that reaching 110 on the scale isn't a goal. I want real health goals. Things I can maintain. Have you ever heard of being skinny fat? That would be the 110 thing. Any one that is measuring success on a scale can bring you a success that isn't the healthiest. I was talking to someone that was telling me what she ate the day before. Sugar was the #1 item then there was an egg salad sandwich. This person is nutrition deprived. She might be at what is considered a healthy weight but she has a few things she would like to change. When you are looking at making a change in your live you really do need to set a goal you can live with for the rest of your life. Could I say my goal is to cut ice cream out of my diet. I am from WI and I know ice cream is something I really enjoy so I will set my goal at cut ice cream to a controllable level. I am willing to cut ice cream out during this 90 challenge just for this study but I know I will bring it back. If I bring it back by the 6 serving size bowl I will lose some of fitness level I hope to get during this challenge. Now if I bring it back in the 1 serving size I should be able to maintain the fitness level. Remember I am not doing a challenge going from 10 to 6% body fat and never will. I am not trying to become ms. fitness. I just want to check out this 90 day challenge while I am still young enough to do it. I do know of someone that went back to school for a law degree at the age of 50. I had to use her. So if she can do it so can I and you may be saying if Lynn can do it so can I.
My dream would be to tell my journey and help others with the simple ways you can make changes to your life. I think they add the word coach to the words weigh loss, health, fitness.

I want to be your weight loss coach. I hope to turn my passion into a business.
I would love to lead a study group with you and your fat fighting friends. I think I will call it "Me & My FFF"

turofire challenge -2

We are getting ready.  I went out for a walk/run this morning with dear child.  Then I did yoga with her.  I am thinking about what I need to log every day.  I think I might do a couple of videos  of a few things.  Maybe I will insert some meal pictures.  I did do a weigh in and a couple of measurments.  Posted on Beachbody.  I will do a final comparison at the end.  I do have to figure out how to edit on blogger.  I think I will do a C & P of a standard update.  I think it should look like this

Striiv challenges
Steps for the day

At the end of each 30 days I wil post a weight and measurment update.

I do like my striiv and I think I will track my food on sparkpeople so if you want to see how many calories are in everything I am eating sign up on sparkpeople and view my log there under the name lynn baum.  I wil add a linkhttp://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp
I am doing a summer challenge on sparkpeople.  I am going to be MIA on slimkickers till I am done with this.  I can't do everything.  I do have to do a before picture.  I will hide them incase there is no change.  If nothing changes I will let you know that too.  Lets just say I will give you the straight scoop & poop on the whole beachbody thing.  I will let you know if it is really worth the 90-150 bucks they charge for their stuff.  I have checked up on others that have said they completed some of the programs and started another one.  I am checking to see if these are some of the BB coaches that are trying to sell more products.  I have nothing to gain from BB either way.  My only gain is to get really toned.

Turbo fire challange

Ok I did it. I bought turbo fire from beachbody.
Let's talk about how we think about this.
1. we get something new. we are excited
2. We make big plans on how we are going to workout every day and just get ripped because the box says it will work with little to no effort.
3. We will start tomorrow. Really!! We have great intentions.
4. The box sits on the shelf because the instructions and the DVD's are hard.
5. We watch TV for something new because this is to hard.

STOP
We can do this.
So we have the box. I did get on the treadmill this morning because I am getting a part replaced on my TV. I could use my little 13" TV.
So the big start day is Monday June 25. I will be blogging the whole 90 days because I want the T-Shirt. Maybe I will be adding a video or 2.
I will maybe log eveything I eat. Well I have a couple of days to get this all set.

Lets start.
Who's with me? I will add a link to my sparkpeople if yo you want to see what I am eating. Maybe I will check out the beach body site. So I have a few choices, beachbody, slimkickers, sparkpeople. I think I have the name lynnbaum on them all.

If you remember back I did do the one day diet test for the $1000.00 about 5 years ago. This time I have a T-Shirt on the line. I guess I know how hard some of the beachbody programs can be but they work so when I get my T-shirt it will have real meaning to me. I don't think I have ever seen a BB T-shirt at the good will.

So what if you don't have or want to do a different program? I hear you. So what can you do? Just say this my plan. You can post you day1 under my post.

I think I will do a couple of preposts.


Thurs. June 21
Breakfast
watermelon w/ peanutbutter.



Workout: I did get on the tread mill and do a couple of striiv challenges. The hard one was 2000 steps in 15 min. Got it done.
