It’s been about 3 weeks that I’ve been doing Turbo Jam. At first it was hard to get coordinated. I kept falling and tripping over myself. Still, it was fun and I didn’t give up. I started mostly doing Learn & Burn where she introduces the moves or 20 Minute Jam, a great 20 minu...

I’m still sick today. I spent all yesterday afternoon, evening and this morning in bed mainly sleeping. I’m feeling a little better today but still pretty blah. By this afternoon I was pretty sore from laying around so much and probably general aches from being sick. Rather than take a p...

I’ve lost a pound and half this week, putting me just under 165. I still have another pound and a half to lose before meeting this month’s goal. I gained back some of last month’s loss at the beginning of this month so with the shorter month, I’m to work extra hard these last...

This week has been a bit of a challenge. Sunday was my birthday and we went to a fancy buffet brunch. Yummy but full of calories. That set me back a few pounds. Today I’m back down to 166.25 which means overall I’m up a pound for the week. I’ve been working to get back on track wit...

I’ve only lost about 7 pounds this year but have toned up a lot. As a result, I need smaller clothes. I realized a week or so ago that I was shrinking. My favorite skirt is way too loose. I don’t know if I should be glad or mad. Anyway, yesterday at water aerobics I realized I will also ...

This has been a fantastic week. I’ve had my biggest weekly weight loss yet, two and a half pounds! I’ve been strict about NO S eating and started the third level of Slim in 6 (Burn It Up!) this week. As a result, I’m down to 165.25 and have now gone below the monthly weight goal. I...

Yeah! Hooray! With no gimicks today, I’ve met my goal weight for the month, 166! Surpassed it actually by almost quarter of a pound. Not bad considering how bumpy my weight loss has been this month. I just need to keep at or below the goal for the rest of the week and it’s pay time. I...

I really didn’t like what the scale said this morning. We had dinner at friend’s house last night (homemade cheeseburgers, potato salad, and dessert). I gained half a pound. Since today is the start of the weekly average for deciding if we got our money bonus for meeting the monthly weig...

I finally did it! Whew, pant, pant. I just finished the first day at the second level of Slim in 6: Ramp It Up. It’s 47 minutes long. The warm up and first part of the cardio are similar to the first level only more reps and a bit faster. Then she adds some new squat twist and squat kick moves...

Happy New Year! I hope you will make fitness part of your New Year. I’m going to take a moment here and talk about motivation. I’ve been blog surfing lately about weight loss stories and fitness. There’s some amazing success stories out there. One that stands out right now is a man...
