So as it stands it's January an we all start are resolutions to get healthy. Or for whatever reason, but as always I come here for support an to give it. I mean I have an account at Beachbodies but well I am friendless it seems. An well its just not the same so I am thinking I might just talk about it here with all of you. An I would like to hear how an what others are doing. I want to help everyone on there goals as well as my own.



I am doing a program called insanity, its alot of cardio! I mean I am drenched 8 minutes into it. but I do keep water next to me an break when I have to cause even though I wanna push myself I still have to push myself in other areas of my life an I would like to be able to walk then too lol.( I have a tendency to have run on sentences so try an ignore that)

SO for today I am doing Pure Cardio wish me luck cause this one hurts like hell!

An please share your own tales of your sweaty adventures......hmmm.... that sounded mildly inappropriate lol

Awesome program. I am working up to that myself, because honestly even when I was in basic training it was the cardio that I hated the most.

Instead I am doing my own kind of personal set up thing, where I have made up a program that I feel that I can do and reach my target goal. Nick(Alucard) even helped me devise a weightlifting program with the home gym we just bought. I will be doing that here in a bit after I take my daughter to school. Then tomorrow it would be my cardio and then the next day would be back to weights, etc.

Since I have started I have noticed a nice difference in my overall body structure, my body takes well to weightlifting and exercise in general it is just a matter of me doing it.

_________________

that sounds good. Whe I got there program an looked over the food an the counting of calories I was like "yea thats not happening". I mean as a whole my family an I eat good an have a few snacks an sugars here an there. But I am not gonna deny myself if I want it I want it. But I can portion it out or get a small just enough to suffice my craving or want of it.

I gained a lil weight since I started but I also noticed muscles in my legs an so I am hopping thats what happened. Or I will just be sad an work a lil harder or something. But good on you Efer for working out today. Do you workout every day ?

Totally working out while on the computer as the routine is on here and I have to pace myself or I could hurt certain muscles more so.

_________________

woot go us! yea I hope so too. My friend did insanity once before an said I will notice my size change but not my weight right away because of the muscle I am making so I am staying away from the scale lol

But go Efer for working out one day at a time!

Efer and I started doing insanity last year but wow, yeah that was intense and didn't last to long, lol. Maybe after im better I'll give it another shot.

Efer on the other hand is doing amazingly well in my opinion, and I'm super proud of her. I got her one of those home gym systems and she seems to enjoy it and I can tell that shes getting results from it. Here's to hoping she gets into yoga, if only for the pants......

_________________

yea I heard if you don't keep up with it, it fades fast. But I plan on doing even after the 2 months an do every other day an do other stuff like yoga or swimming. An yay for being proud. An seriously who doesn't love yoga pants. To either look ...or wear >.>................<.<...............>.>.................>.< love yoga pants lol

today was cardio recovery so slower but still hurting right now but I am gonna make a shake an start the rest of my day!

_________________

the biggest thing for me is that i have to eat sooooo much as it is just to maintain the body weight im at, that if i was to engage in a hardcore exercise program id have to eat even more! No joke.

As it is currently, because of the medications I've been on, my metabolisim is so high that i have to consume roughly 4500 calories a day or I lose weight. I have less then 1% body fat currently, and I'm not looking to bulk up, I'm simply working on sculpting and lean muscle tone.

I can say im quite proud of the fact i've got an adonis belt going on, and I've got abs again for the first time since basic, so I'm good with where I'm at. I'm glad to see that people are taking initative to change then things they do not approve of because theres nothing wrong with wanting to be healthier... as long as it doesnt become an unhealthy obsession!

Good job you two!

whoa you weren't kidding Clock but I would agree to just do something that would require you to eat more lol. My daughter is like that naturally she skates back an forth from 1 to 5% for a child. But she moves ALL day so all I can do is feed her an give her pediasure. An honestly if I am ever even slightly keep up with her I think its key to get healthy an stay in shape.

Also I want to one day be able to run either for fun or the community ones. Cause as of now I hate running an I want that to change so I am hopping this will help me with stamina an if not , well I can find something to help me :).

I do a workout called Monster Mass. It's designed to help get me stronger and bigger. It's pretty much nothing but weightlifting and then 3 minutes of body weight, and then a hint of cardio. I enjoy it because it really helps me test myself out, I can push my limits and get even stronger
