No more Yo-Yo'ing. V's Journal

LOL, it can be scary when you look at a label and see 16g of fat per serving. But your body does need fat and peanut butter (I use natural peanut butter) or nuts in general are a good source of it. I eat nuts just about every day. I measure out 1/2 a serving size and stick to eating only that.

I got those DVD's yesterday. I'm going to do the first one today and work my way thru them all. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have a great day.

V.

Yeah, I'm nearing the half way point of the Lenten Challenge which is pretty cool, especially because it seems that I'm the only one doing it, lol.

I bought all the Biggest Loser DVD's, Biggest Loser 1, 2, Cardio Max and Powersculpt.

I did most of the Biggest Loser 1 DVD today. The hardest part was keeping my balance during some of the moves, I hate lunges, lol. Thinking about getting up early tomorrow morning to do the bootcamp segment. Then it's on to Biggest Loser 2.

Oh yes those lunges are painful!!!!!!!!! I am soooooo tired by the end of those! I haven't done that DVD in a while. I would do it tonight if I wasn't relying on bike or elliptical time to read my peds notes :).

Just stopping by to say hello. Check out the challenges- I made one, and bikinibound has one too- you won the Biggest Loser Challenge, so maybe you'll want to do a few more?

So far I like the Biggest Loser 1 DVD. The moves themselves are pretty simple so it's easy to keep up as opposed to some aerobic tapes where the moves are so complex you can't follow along. I could see the cardio segments getting a little monotonous though, but if you're mixing it up with other workouts it shouldn't get too boring to do.

I thought the strength training segment was good. It worked the whole body, mixing it up so you worked the upper body, then lower, then back to upper and so forth. That way you never got too tired to complete the sets.

Bob, as always, inspires you to do your very best and give it 100%. It did feel llike he was there with you pushing you to give it your all.

Lunges are a killer, lol. The DVD's are pretty reasonable priced on Amazon, only $9.99 each and free shipping if you order is over $25.
 
I think I'm going to participate in both challenges. March and April are both going to be busy months for me though. I'm swamped with birthdays in March, both my daughter's, my husband, my mother-in-law and my father. Then in April my younger daughter is receiving her First Holy Communion, so I'll be busy with the final planning of the party. As long as I don't leave everything til the last minute I should be fine time wise.

Keepitoff and Brandy, have either of you found members for a team for Bikini's challenge? I'm not on a team if either of you are still looking for someone to team up with.

Great job on the work out!! You are on both of our teams we need a team name...

I also invited Miss Ladybug.. but I'm still waiting for a response.
 
That's one thing I do try and work on, increasing my stamina, so it wasn't too hard to complete all those segments straight thru.

I did the bootcamp segment today after I spent an hour on the bike, boy was that intense.

We do have to come up with a team name. Any thoughts?
 
oh geez. i have no idea. I realized that I can't invite Miss Ladybug because we can only have 3 people on a team. BUT ANYWAYS... i'll think of some name suggestions..but what theme do we want it based around?
 
I'll have to put some thought into a team name.
