Me too darling. FH and I swear we're gonna go tonight, but I could really use a glass of wine right abouts now...

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

No, no, that's not motivating! Okay, here's what I'll do:

I hereby affirm that I will go to the gym this afternoon and will do at least 30 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of weights. I will post later and tell you how I did, and if I did not accomplish my goal, you will all give me a good keyboard-thrashing for it.

Let's see if that works.

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

OK... that sounds like a plan. And yes, I must do atleast 40 minutes of cardio, and some ab exercises. My new workout routine is going to be 8 weeks of extreme cardio, light weights, then when I get to my desired weight, I'll hit the weights back up again. BooYAkaSha!

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

OK, I'm off to the gym now... I'll come back later and report how I did!

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

Ok, I'm back from the gym. 45 minutes of cardio (treadmill / elliptical machine) and 10 minutes of abs. I haven't worked out my abs for about 6 months, and will be in such pain tomorrow, but I'm feeling GREAT now!!!

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

So proud of myself! I came home yesterday afternoon from work and did one of the tapes this way I didn't feel as bad about going out to dinner with FH and some friends!

Only three more workouts before turkey day!

Oh I also printed out the schedule of workouts and I plan on starting to follow that the monday after thanksgiving!

I used to go there, but I stopped. I wasn't motivated anymore to go. Maybe if I have someone to work out with I'll be more motivated. Do you know how much it is per month now?

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

Lori-Ann, it sounds like you're really motivated and committed! Keep it up!

As for me, I have a bunch of errands to run - post office, bank, supermarket - and if I took the car, I'd be done in no time. But I'm going to walk! I'll take my iPod and go real fast. It'll be at least 2 miles all told. Does that count as my cardio for the day?

DavaDay Posted: Nov 18, 2006 04:05 PM

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

Well I did it - a nice long walk around the neighborhood, to the post office, jeweler (one of my prongs on my e-ring cracked and it needs to be reset - grrrr), the bank, and the drug store. Then I came home and made myself a Lean Cuisine Spinach Pizza. It was okay, but much better once I put a tablespoon of tomato sauce on it. Now, I really should do a half hour of arm weights but I'm being lazy - why aren't any of you '08ers around to kick my butt into shape??

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

Good job Dava!

How did everyone do over the weekend?

I try sooooo hard to be good (which wasn't easy considering I went to KFC for lunch yesterday - not by my own choice)

I did another video yesterday and today I spent about 2-3 hours putting up the outside christmas decorations (we light them thanksgiving night) which kept me running around for awhile.

Goal for the week: Do another two workout before Wednesday and ATTEMPT to not eat a sickening amount of stuffing.

I'm so intrigued! That sounds like fun. I HATE cardio machines, they're always so boring and I can't bring myself to do any one for more than 20 minutes. Is this machine like an elliptical machine?

Wait, people have a million different name for ellipticals, I meant this:

That's the only one I can stand for half an hour at a time. And it burns mega calories.

Edited: I like that girl's hair, but... is she real? Doesn't she look like she's from the Sims or something?

Def from the SIMS !!!!

that looks just like the machine, you have to go slow c/c it wears you out fast

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

I havn't gone since last week!! I skipped the class there's always this week

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

I need some motivation for when I get home today.

It's countdown to turkey day!

How is everyone going to handle it? Just throwing the day away or will you try to exercise some control?

lol ideally I want to say I'm going to control myself but I have a feeling it's not going to work!

Re: 'Put down that Twinkie!' - The Buff Brides Thread

That's great!!!!! Keep it up!!!

Yea I won't have FH with me on turkey day - we're still splitting up the holidays till we get married. So I'll have to look after myself.
