TurboFire update
I am doing good but having a problem remember to blog. I was doing 55 yesterday and thinking about how hard it is to stay focused. I think this is why Beachbody wants you to do your measurements at 30 days. if you are following the program you should be seeing some improvements. I am down an inch in my waist.
As you all know I chat and log on sparkpeople, one of my spark friends is jumping on as a weight loss friend. I will call her Sue.
Sue is ready to jump back on at giving it her all to get rid of the last 5 -10 pounds.
Sue is one of my support people I turn to when the going gets tough. A good support group or person is important.

I'm not forgetting about this blog but I have to take care of a couple of things. I am still working out and doing Turbo Fire. I worked out with a trainer on Wed. Good work out but what I really want to make sure I have good form.

My eating. I am missing some old habits. I really have to think of how these old habit effected my health and body fat.

Always remember you are not alone.
I am looking into tap out. Someone was talking about it. It looks interresting. Turbo Fire is a kick boxing type of a workout.

Tues

I'm starting to forget what day of the challene this is but turbo fire was fun this morning. My body toning person at the gym on Sunday said to crank up the music on the turbo fire. Really there's a button for that. say yes for fire up the music. I wasn't always on beat but I did have a great time. If your doing this with me keep it up. I am feeling toning which is really good. I made hummus and cucumbers for breakfast and am taking some for lunch.

U-tubes

I was thinking of doing a couple of videos and putting them on u-tube. I do have a list I would like to do. Let me know what you think. I will find and post the list I came up with.

Day 28

I have to catch up on what is going on in my life of working out. I got up yesterday and did turbo fire 55. I did the new to class just to see what it was all about. So here is the scoop. It breaks down the workout so you can learn the moves. She goes through each move and what she is going to que it as. This is worth doing. If you are feeling the moves are to complex this is a good option.
I have been doing well on logging what I have eaten and staying with in calories till today. I had to go out for an ice cream cone with DH.
I worked out with my friend Cindy at the gym. Oh what a workout. We did "Total body workout" OM we did these running and sprinting and rope jumping and then the ab work. I kept thinking about how hard it was and that I wanted to quit but then I kept thinking "get going" because this is replacing my turbo fire workout. The ab work was a killer.

I feel like there is some improvement in my fitness. I can jog longer, I can lift more.

I am getting close to the first 30 days.

DaY 25

I have to be the first to say I have been slacking. I had to spend a couple of days in NY and I guess I really used that excuse to talk some slacker time. I did walk a ton in NY. I have been trying to get back on the ball. I did work out Monday & wed so far this week. I have been watching what I eat really close. While in NY we had really bad internet hook up so I couldn't keep up on the blogging.

Torbo fire 45 review. This was not the ez one. I tell you I am glad I am doing this for the first time in the comfort of my home. I had to look like a clown. These moves are not what I call easy to master but I was getting much better by the end of the 45 min. I just kept trying and giving it my best.
I am getting better and as I see the moves more than once I'm doing a lot better and it is getting more fun.

Review on Ice cream cravings. It's not as important as it was 3 weeks ago.

Traveling

So we are back frome traveling. I staped on the scale this mornig and it was like the biggest loser show. I really didn't know what to expect. Was I up? was I down? What did I eat last night ? I did have some of those pretzel chips. I started thinking of all these different things that could of made the scale go up. I did't really workout but I did walk a ton. 10 miles on 2 of the days but then we sat in a car for the last 2 days. well I am the same. Then I started think what if I wouldn't of had this or that but then I think the same is good. I did do a post while I was in NY so I will C/P it in here.

Up date on the turbo challenge. I was doing really good on all the tracking until this week. I had to run off to NY to do something.
We drove from the Midwest Monday night. I would really have to think of what we ate on the road. I did follow the 27 rules and think I did pretty good.
Tues, Ok This is my note to self. If you can’t log it right away write it down on anything, Even if it is on a napkin. The thing I do remember is the ok key do kee popcorn. We did do the cal X servings and came up for the whole bag 1200 cal. This did take me 2 days to eat it. Oh now I remember. We didn’t eat a meal on Monday night I just had the popcorn. We then got on the road and stopped and this plaza thing and had a Quesadilla cheese. I tried really hard to find something with some veggies on it. I was eating my popcorn while we were driving. We did get something to eat when we got to the Hotel in NY. I was so tired and so hungry. Our best choice was to split a veggie and swiss omlet. They served it with FF and toast. I had 1 of the toast and 1 FF
Wed. we go up and got into the city with out stopping for breakfast. I did get some coffee in the city. It was kind of hot so water tasted really good. I was waiting to eat with dear child so I walked around till she was done. Well somewhere in the afternoon one of those fruit smoothies sounded really good. Dear child is a vegetarian so it was kind of hard to find something good. I could of eaten fruit off the street carts. We did split a sandwich fresh Mozzarella and Tomato on a form of rye. It was really good.
When we got back to the hotel we did order a pizza. OH my the cheese. We were really hungry. My striiv said 25,000 steps when we headed back on the train.

So how am I doing on my work outs?
We did walk a lot today but Tues. we spent all day in a car. We did get out and walk as much as we could.
This is a real bummer that I can’t get on line but you just have to learn to deal with things. So just because I can’t log things does that mean I should go out and buy the latest greatest thing and get a phone that logs on and all the time just for 1 week. The new phones are really cool but, it really isn’t something I need so I guess I am just going to have to deal with life at low tech for a couple of days.

One of the days we went into this store like a whole foods and got lunch. We picked up a crandberry and walnut salad and then some fresh fruit. We then headed to the park. That was really nice. I did so enjoy that part of new york.

Day 14 Sunday

What we want to do and what we need to do to reach our goals are 2 different things. I can always think of another reason not to work out. I just read a review from one of my spark friends that said she really likes low 20 so I am off and running.
