Kathy,

All I can say is that it is VERY hard!
I talk to myself all day long saying..... "You can do it." "Did you get up and do your workout for nothing this morning?" "If you eat that Ilesha you won't loose any weight." "This time I will see a difference."
I am not going to lie, I struggle allot!!! I get hungry and really tired.
This lady that teaches me water aerobics, once said (and I think you have too Cathy), "we can do it for just ONE more minute right??? We can do ANYTHING for one minute". That really hit me hard with life! I can do ANYTHING for ONE day! and I say that day to day!
Satin is the one that wants you to think you don't have control over your body. You do!!! Why don't you drink alcohol? Be cause you can control it! Cathy, I also tell my young women (OK,beg them) to have self control. "I tell them YOU CAN DO ANYTHING you want!!!" If you want to get up and work out.. you can, if you want to say no to a friend who is telling you to do something bad... you can.
I PROMISE, there are no excuses for not doing what YOU want to do. Just have faith in yourself. Don't let Satin win. Let him know who is in charge of YOU!
Because I have more faith in you Cathy then you know. You have a strong testimony, pray for help. I do when I go to bed, I say thanks for helping me be strong today, PLEASE help me get through tomorrow.
I am not always strong, but I am doing better then I EVER had in my life! So thanks to both of you! (I am NOT where I want to be, and I am so discouraged, but I will give it to April 2nd, because that is what I promised myself!
Good Luck! I hope that made sense.

Love, Ilesha

Kathy

You CAN do it!! I know it can be rough. I understand. It is soooooo hard!!! First things first.
Where are you around 3PM every day? When you get hungry? What are doing? Are you at work or home? WHY do you have access to bad foods at that time? Seriously, answer these questions... let me know! We can work on this together.
What days do you teach classes? On the other days, what time do you work out? What is your schedule?
What kinds of food do you have in your house that you are over eating with? What are your 3 FAVORITE healthy snacks?
Try this.... Make sure to have PLENTY of your 3 favorite snacks with you at all times. I have a HUGE purse. If you look inside it at any time, you will find a granola bar (100 calories), an apple (100 calories) an orange (130 calories) and a snack baggies with 100 calories portioned sweet snack.... chocolate or jelly beans. That way, No matter where I am if I am hit with a craving I can eat any or all of my snack items and know that I can still stay on track. Try it. It works.
I also love hard boiled eggs, I keep a dozen at all times in my fridge, and string cheese. My family loves these snacks also. I really try to keep absolutely NO junk food in my house. I do have a few items (chocolate covered fruit pieces, jelly belly's) that I ration out to myself. Do you set yourself up for failure. Try to eliminate the junk food in your home.
K- so I am not preaching, just telling you what works for me.
Maybe Ilesha should call you each moring to go work out with her!! Ilesha? What do you have to say to Kathy? Kathy, what has been working for you? Tell me!

So frustrated!!!!

Ilesha and Jen. I am sucking at this whole thing. I have fallen back into old habits! Drinking pop and eating more calories than I should so, my exercising all goes toward my maintenance. So, I ask myself what do I do now? Do I except my body the way it is and stop feeling so guilty for failing? I start off every morning thinking that today is going to be a good day. I eat fantastic and then mid day hits and I blow it. Then I feel like quitting. I can even hear Jen in my mind saying "start right then", and "forget about the past". Can you really make yourself change when you have NO willpower? I need to make serious lifestyle changes to get to the weight I would like to. (Permanent ones)
I can see many things that get in my way...One of them being ....I am not sure I believe in myself???? Can I really do this when there is this part of me that struggles to make those simple changes and maybe I don't believe I can. I know what to eat, I know what exercises I need to do. Why is this so hard? Ilesha just whips this out like it's no problem. Why can't I win this battle for good? What is my problem!!!!

So Ilesha the answer to your question is simple. I am doing better until 3-4pm and then I blow it. Why write honest points down when you get anywhere from 20-60 points. I am without a doubt in last place. I think I am holding on by a thread. I feel guilty and know I have pictures with my friends that WILL put them on facebook and I will hate them all. It just discourages me......WHAT is wrong with me????

OK I am done venting...thoughts please. Ilesha what is your secret? ME!!!
Really??????/

Where is everyone?
Am I doing this alone?
Cathy I thought you were going to be better? Where are YOU????

Jen

OK... Just so I am clear??/ What is posting? Saying you went over and not telling us what you ate? do you still get 10 points? Jen you gave yourself 70 points, but...... I didn't see what you ate, so shouldn't it be 60? If you decide to write just how bad you did, THEN you can have those 10 points. Otherwise it would just be too easy to go over my points and say... I went over.! IDK what do you think?

Kathy's suggestion

I would be fine with starting fresh.... I need a new bit of inspiration for next month. Plus, Ilesha and I may feel the need to "slack off" come April, but if we have a fresh contest going.... that may keep us inspired to work even if we are not feeling great.
Here is my thought.....

What if we start the contest fresh each month?! We could do a gift card for the winner each month!! Whoever gets the LOWEST amount of points has to buy a $20 gift card for the winner!! That way, we have incentive to win and NOT to lose.... the middle gal gets a freebie for the month. What do you think? We could finish out this month and start fresh on March 1st?
If there are any rules we want "tweaked" we could suggest those this week.

I just finished my 100 push ups/ sit ups program.... we are now working on 200 squats. WE have been doing a lot of Jillian Michaels inspired work outs- and now I just ordered a new DVD called "Turbo Jam". Have you heard of it? P90X was great... but I am going to wait until fall to start it again. I will do a series of boot camps starting late spring into summer. I will post what we are doing for boot camps when the time comes. I get so excited about the boot camps!! I can't wait!

points today= 70 (no workout)

Do over?

OK girls I was thinking, we all kind of bomb this last little while with our contest. So here is my idea to continue on. I think we should start over again. I think that clearly Ileasha won the last round. However, instead of giving her the full $25 we should give her $15 each and save $10 for the next round. I am thinking all the rules Jen set up previously still apply only this time it will be for 5-6 weeks. Something we can stick with right? I have seen results and I wanna keep going I just think we all got behind and kind of quit. It is a fantastic idea and I wanna keep going. what do you think? OR we could just continue on. Either way I am good. :) Let me know what you think

jennifer saturday

I did pretty dang well today considering my neighbor called me this morning at 11 am and told me that a shower that she was throwing (for one of our friends) could not go on at her house as planned because her driveway washed out because of all the rain!! She was wondering if we could switch locations to my house!? So, I had 2 hours to get my house ready for over 50 ladies.... it was an absolute madhouse here. But tons of fun!! So, I was running all day and the good thing is that I had NO TIME to eat any of the super yummy food during the shower. So, because I was in charge of all the veggies for the shower, I had everyone take all the leftover food except my veggies when they left. And So, I have a ton of veggies, cut up and washed and ready for eating...YUMMY. here is my food log for saturday.

I am really sucking at this and Ilesha is kicking butt
:) GGGGOOOOO Ileasha!!!!

Food for thought.

Ok ladies. This weekend was WAYYYYY stressful. My husband was out of town, My oldest son decided to be very rebellious. He was given me crap the whole weekend and Sunday was the worst day. He left and I had to hunt him down. I was sooo stressed and I stop at Maverick on a Sunday nonetheless, and got the 2 things that are just plan bad for me. Pop and bread. I wasn't even in the right mind set to try and avoid these temptations. I didn't care. This is one of my biggest problems. I need to find away to avoid giving into temptations when I am stressed. I am sure this won't be the last time this will happen. I need to learn to control my eating. The really sad thing is up until that point I had eaten really good and would have made my daily points. But instead I get a big 10 for logging in points. I know you are suppose to change your old habits with new habits ...how the heck do i do that? I didn't even care. :(

PMS

So, when I am PMSish I usually have strong chocolate cravings.... REALLY REALLY strong chocolate cravings (look at my blog last week, you will find m&m's all over it). I think that sometimes if you have a day where you go a little crazy, that is normal (last friday I almost ate an entire bag of m&m's by myself, that is why I did not blog my day... not a regular size bag, but a big bag that is meant for a party). One of the keys for me is remembering what Bob Harper says on the Biggest Loser, "Don't start tomorrow, start now!!". and that is my motto. If I screw up, I really try to start over at that point. I know a lot of people believe that if they screw up, then just screw up that whole day and eat whatever you want for the rest of the day.... but after I screw up I really and truley repeat to myself "Don't start tomorrow, start NOW"!! And then I start fresh, right then. I try to make up for whatever I have done. And I remember What Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser says "A Calorie is a Calorie is a Calorie". It doesn't matter when you eat it, today because you screwed up, or tomorrow...... anyway, I am not preaching. But telling you what I have learned. Learning has been hard for me. I love junk food and easy food. But my body does not. I try to buy some slow churned Rocky Road for my chocolate cravings, and I reward myself at the end of the day if I have done a super job. I also get semisweet chocolate chips and put 100 calories worth in a little bowl and try to make them last all day.
What tips do you have for me? Have you learned any secrets you want to share?

Here is a fun routine that I threw into my class today, they hated me!!!
It is called "the Dirty Dozen"!!!

1 Burpy (squat hop-pushup, hop to start )
1 Jump lunge

2 burpy's
2 jump lunges

3 burpy's
3 jump lunges

continue up to

12 burpy's
12 jump lunges

And here is the dirty part.... we go to 13!!! Don't tell your class til' you get there!!! Ha. They will cry.

Sometimes for my dirty dozen we do
1 push up
1 sit up
2 push up
2 sit up
continue to 13!! So fun.

Do you have any fun ideas? -Jen

I went over my calories by 150... however I am pleased to say that according to my body bug I burned 3500 calories yesterday, so I feel fine with going 150 over!!! I love the body bug. I add movement to everything I am doing. I was marching/jogging in place while I washed dishes, did hamstring curls while I dried. I added hop squats whenever I had to bend down for something, parked farther away (it counts your steps also), sqeezed my butt cheecks continuously whenever I sat to read to kids or do bills or whatever..... I was finding things to do all day. I love it!!! I was able to see how many calories I burn during class. My class loved it because I have a low bmr, and so I let them know that even though I burned 705 during class, more than likely they all burned way more than me!!! So sweet.

Jen points 70 (over my calories).

one day down. ;)
YES ..I am girls. I just have had a terrible weekend. I have dealt with my children having 4 flippin days of coughing, sneezing, and throwing up and it's driving me crazy. I had another one come home from school with the same thing. UUUGGGHHHH! I haven't sleep through the night in like 3 days. I have never wanted to pull my ears off more. On top of that I have been PMSing soooo bad. I am one ornery women. I am bloated, tired from lack of sleep, and need a serious vacation.
OK i have complained enough. Sorry to unload! I have eaten ok except for yesterday.(which was the worst day) I swear Satan was sitting on my shoulder laughing his head off at me because I was following him for most of the day! :( I only had pop once this last week. it was 3/4ths a can of diet coke with Lime and do you know what? It didn't taste good. The whole time I was thinking i really just want water.
However, today is a new day and I knew eating has ALWAYS been my problem. I know it is going to take work on my part to change bad habits with new better habits. (like blogging about how hard it is but, I can do this!) :) I know it is a day by day process. I have done better and
will try again. That's all you can do when you fail. I am hoping that this set back was related to my PMS and that it's on it's way out. Any new idea's on how to handle that so when mother nature comes to visit me again I can handle it better? Sorry to be so pessimistic!!!

I need your ph# so we can chat.... I need some killer moves for my class!!! Yesterday we did some pretty intense moves, but I don't think there was enough blood or tears. The sweat was there... boy was it there, and I feel it today, BUt I am really trying to step it up.
One of my favorite moves is this one....

Bend knees and shuffle right for 4 counts, step behind and do 2 JUMP lunges (also known as mary katherine lunges). Then IMMEDIATELY shuffle to the left for 4 counts and step behind and do 2 mary catherine lunges. REPEAT 8 times and then have them HOLD the jump lunges 8 times. Then do Jump jacks 8 times each direction, 12 air jacks, 8 jacks, 24 squat jacks. Turn squat jacks into squats, then squat with floor touch and raise hands up, then jump squats.
Also, froggy push ups (have Ilesha show you) then diamond push ups- 12 each. Then Mountain man. Plank position- move down onto right arm, then down to left arm- then right arm up, then left arm up, so you are returned to your original plank position. Repeat pushups.

So.... super fun stuff. What have you got for me?

Body Bug

Okay... this is jen.

Have you ever heard of Tommy Deters? I just did a workout of his, it was awesome. Love him!!

Also, I just ordered a body bug. Have you heard of those? I am so pumped, I can hardly stand it!!! You guys should check it out. Seriously, looks cool.

Here is a tip that you should both heed.... today I jogged on the treadmill while playing Mario on the Nintendo DS, NEVER DO THAT!!! I almost died multiple times!!! It was way difficult, but I was getting bored and I needed something to do or I would have wimped out way too early and I needed some make up points. So, don't try that at home!!!

Cathy, I love your post. Thanks for sharing. You can do it!! I am an emotional eater, also. I totally totally understand how you feel and if you see my food posts, you'll see that I still struggle with eating totally healty!! One thing that does help me is putting super spicy (minty) gum on the top of the fridge. If I ever want to eat junk, I make myself pop a piece of the gum AND THEN drink a glass of water.... the water totally burns because of the ultra minty gum and usually that kicks my desire. I also will brush my teeth or grab and apple. Or orange. Or banana. Anyway, the gum trick usually works for me.... Do you have any secrets to help me stop thinking about Dove Dark Chocolate? :)

jen points

Sweesh... please never EVER EVER write the words "Dove Dark Chocolate" again. That is seriously my BIGGEST weakness EVER, ANYWHERE... I mean, I know that I will be thinking about dove dark chocolate for the next week, until I break down and make a special trip to costco and buy the largest amount of chocolate I can find and come home and eat every single piece by myself!!! So- I hope you enjoyed your chocolate, thanks!!! :)


Yesterday my power was off and on all day... so i didn't get my computer back up before I went to bed last night... here are my points.

Monday- 100 points

Tuesday-
1 apple
1 banana
yogurt
chocolate chip cookies x3
chicken/ potato soup
chicken enchilada
cheese slice
wheat tortilla chips
brocolli

total calories= 1765

Plus, I threw in an extra hour on the treadmill today and did some additional abs/ pilates... it felt so so good, but I did not get a shower before I had to go pick up the kids from school and I was sweaty, wet and STINKY!!!!
So, points for today= 130

Eatting Better

So, I need to eat better also. This girl at work today thought is was SOOOO funny that I ate A lean Cuisine with 180 cal and then eat 6 dove chocolates that were 220 cal. She said " I really think that is the funniest thing I have ever heard." I need to be wiser on choosing my calories. But I really wanted chocolate, it has been too long.... AND it was dark chocolate. Ü But I am doing better then 2 weeks ago. Ü
