Sorry I'm just getting a...ok I'm a slacker! Sorry I'm just getting around to responding but i've been so busy I haven't had a whole lot of time outside of the office ;) to think about bloggy stuff!<br /><br />@Karin I'm SUPER Excited that you're excited about working out!! Keep that momentum going and yes take all the classes! One of my favorites is spinning and then my gym offers a yoga class afterward which is great because you get to stretch out all those tired muscles :)<br /><br />@muddles the twilight spark team is awesome. They have a from Phoenix to Forks challenge where members log their weekly mileage on the tread mill or try to calculate mileage from biking or the elliptical and try to add up the distance it take to get from Phoenix to Forks.<br /><br />@17foreverlisa I didn't even think about that! Ok so 17 is your lucky number :) how have the mini goals been coming along?? If you stick to watching your portions and calories and exercising at least three times a week the weight will come off :)<br /><br />@Dangrdafne Personal trainers are pricey but worth every penny. They really know how to work your bodies in ways you could never figure out on your own and they're awesome at motivating. The bootcamp I go to is run by a personal trainer and athletic conditioner so he's whipping my butt into shape!<br /><br />@TwitadedMom Welcome to my blog! If sex is your fave way to work out how about a pole dancing class? I bet the hubs would appreciate it lol ;). My twi-bestie and I are going to try one out for kicks lol. And your right any bit of workout is better than none! Keep trying to add new things to your routine and don't be afraid to maybe try something new you might like it :)<br /><br />@EmJest Welcome to the blog! Sparkpeople is a bit confusing at first. Honestly, I never used their grocery lists or followed their meal plans to a T... but you've given me an idea for another post :) So I'll need to start thinking about that, but as I said I haven't had a whole lot of time for blogging this week, things will settle down after the first of the month... I hope!Team Six Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378545885127403088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573775681707836240.post-79496856233849641722010-02-22T14:32:25.734-05:002010-02-22T14:32:25.734-05:00After reading your blog I joined sparkpeople.com. ...After reading your blog I joined sparkpeople.com. How did you handle the meal plan they gave you? It is somewhat overwhelming when you look at the grocery list!!

I just became a follower. Everything ...Good post. I just became a follower. Everything you said makes sense, but I've never been into sports. Exercise has never been my thing, except for sex. Don't think my area has "group classes" for that. LOL <br /><br />I bought some 10 minute Solution DVDs figuring some exercise is better than none. I've also joined sparkpeople at TwitardedMom. I always want to call that site Sparkle People. Does that mean I've read Twilight too many times?<br /><br />17foreverLisa- We are the same age & both have a bunch of weight to loose. It's great having someone to do this with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573775681707836240.post-53922055931659140542010-02-17T21:41:32.170-05:002010-02-17T21:41:32.170-05:00Well Lisa it appears that your comment trumped min...Well Lisa it appears that your comment trumped mine and mine is gone.<br />So here it goes again:<br /><br />Great post! Excellent information and great motivation for your readers.<br /><br />I have a personal trainer that I see twice a week. I knew I couldn't just join a gym. I need to be held accountable to someone for my actions or I will convince myself I can miss a day or whatever. She is now one of my very best friends and great therapy.<br /><br />My next work out item will be a treadmill. After watching a video that 17ForeverLisa linked me to on YouTube called Sexy Bitch (since taken down), I was motivated to want to also be a Sexy Bitch. The video is filled with awesome pictures of Kristen and Rob and I realized I want to feel like I could be in that video. So thank you Lisa. I am researching treadmills at this time. You never know where your motivation will come from.<br /><br />Last thing: Sometimes during commercial breaks, I get up and do push ups against the wall, leg lifts on the floor or some crunches. Every little bit helps.Dangrdafnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940599664505953044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573775681707836240.post-21349829004450438952010-02-17T21:16:12.939-05:002010-02-17T21:16:12.939-05:00Awesome post!!! I can't tell you how much I ap...Awesome post!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time you put into it.<br /><br />I think it's an omen that you put that post up because of me today . . . the 17th. Tomorrow I am getting back on the treadmill and will start adding in the mini-goals as you suggested.<br /><br />Here are my bigger goal markers:<br /><br />1 - 20 lbs. by June (Eclipse)<br />2 - 40 lbs. by September (Forks)<br />3 - 50 lbs. by Christmas (Family pictures)<br /><br />That gets me to the half-way point. My goal weight loss is 117 lbs. :) That goal weight would still be 40 lbs. heavier than when I got married almost 30 years ago, so it's a realistic goal. I know that the first half will come off easier than the last half, but by then I will have made a life-style change.<br /><br />I am ready to sign up for Spark People and it is asking me for the Username of the person who referred me. Is there something you want me to put in there?<br /><br />Thanks again, Laura. Talk to you soon.<br /><br />Lisa17foreverlisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538976559543770351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573775681707836240.post-26108690099182180632010-02-17T21:14:41.730-05:002010-02-17T21:14:41.730-05:00Great Post!

I find I will stick to my exercise program on those days when I really don't want to be bothered because I don't want to let my buddy down. <br /><br />I found the groups on sparkpeople were also good for this as a motivator especially if you are participating in the challengesmuddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05170067675788536573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573775681707836240.post-65014805642640280972010-02-17T16:07:11.819-05:002010-02-17T16:07:11.819-05:00Another great article. For me I lack motivation......Another great article. For me I lack motivation... In high school I was in an ROTC program and was therefore in great shape. Then I graduated and went to culinary school (the freshman 15 was way more than that in this case :o( ) So my goal is to be able to get back to the level of physicality. I get bored easily so anything too monotonous will kill my motivation. I just signed up at Pure Fitness and am really excited. I have a free one on one workout today and then get 2 free 1hr sessions with a personal trainer. And all the classes (yoga, kickboxing, zumba etc) are all free which will totally help with the monotony (sp??). I think this is the most excited I have ever been about starting a new workout routine. Thanks for another great post ;o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210490154787755521noreply@blogger.com
