Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp

[Teresita 0]

MorningFuneral that sounds great but only if you guys come along and help me. I need lots of help. LOL I was going to do another bootcamp once this one ended. How about a 2 month 10 pound BootCamp.

I'll get you my measurements tonite, I have string and yard stick. Dang, someone is cooking around here, I'm getting so hungry, I have to wait until 2pm my lunch hour to eat. That cottage cheese is not cutting it. I may have to go get some of that salad, it's only noon time now.

Tann I am just in aww of you. Look at your numbers, my God I want my numbers to fall off like yours but I don't like cottage cheese.< /p>

[tann 2]

Awwwh you're making me blush, can a sista blush:rolleyes: I like cottage cheese better with fruit coctail or can peaches or some other kind of fruit. But my Dr. said no fruit right now, I eating a lil of this salad right now, he don't even want me to have salad first. It's Protein first and then if you have room you can have some salad or veggies.

Thanks, I'm trying to get there, I do a end of the month weigh-in in the morning. I'll post the results. Have a Super Blessed Day Teresita.

Just a question...Not regarding the band...But on a normal diet for a person, does anyone seem to know how many carbs a day someone is suppose to eat less than??? I cant seem to find this information anywhere

This easy 10 minute walking plan does more then get rid of sneaky pounds, it’s an amazing cure-all for common winter woes, including comfort-food cravings, blue moons and lowered immunity.

We teamed up with indoor-walking pioneer Leslie Sansone to design a simple 10-minute, full body routine that you can do in a 10’ x 10’ space in the comfort of your own home. Repeat the sequence three times daily for the speediest slimdown.

Step 1: March in Place (1 minute)

Keep it relaxed at the beginning, aiming for a pace of roughly 120 steps per minute. (continue at this pace for steps 2-4.)

Step 2: Side steps (1 minute)

With your right foot, step to the right, and bring your left foot over to meet your right foot. Then step to the left and bring your right foot over to meet your left foot.

“This lateral move is a great addition to a walking routine because it works the hip and thigh muscles in new directions” says Sansone. “That’s the key to superior toning.”

Step 3: Alternating kicks (1 minute)

Keeping your back straight, kick your left leg straight out, raising it no higher then the hip height. Alternate kicking your right and left leg repeatedly.

“This activates more muscles in the front of the thighs then walking does” Sansone says.

Step 4: Knee lifts (1 minute)

Lift your left knee to just above waist level, pulling your navel in toward your spine. Do the same with your right knee; repeat. These standing crunches sculpt the stomach while toning the leg muscles.

Step 5: Fast march and press (90 seconds)

Repeat step 1, but increase your pace to 130 steps per minute and add this upper-body exercise: Raise and pump your arms above your head for 15 reps, then pump the arms in a downward motion at your sides for 15 reps.

Step 6: Speedy side steps (90 seconds)

Repeat step 2, adding this move: Raise your arms above your head when you step out and clap your hands together over your head when you step in.

Step 7: Quick kick-and-reach (90 seconds)

Repeat step 3, adding this upper-body move: when kicking your left leg, reach forward with your right arm; when kicking your right leg, reach forward with left arm.

Step 8: Twist lifts (90 seconds)

Repeat step 4, adding this move: As you bring your left knee up, touch it with your right hand; as you bring your right knee up, touch it with your left hand.

“besides toning your thighs, this activates the oblique muscles in the waist and sculpts an hourglass” Sansone says.

Girl, have you taken a head count lately to see if anyone is missing??? We seem a couple short lately

I'm still here! Work has been busy and I haven't been home to do anything but sleep lately. Between meetings and other appointments, I'm about to go nuts. The big downside to this is no time to exercise in the evenings so I get up at 4:00 a.m. to do it! I would have never done that a year ago! Get out of bed to exercise at 4:00 in the morning, what are you smoking?!?

Yesterday's Info:

B: Rice Krispies with Skim Milk

S: Protein Shake

L: Lean Cuisine

S: sugar free pudding

D: Meatloaf and mixed vegetables

Over 80 oz. of Water and got some walking in.

Today:

B: Rice Krispies with Skim Milk

S: Protein shake

L: To be determined

S: Hopefully nothing

D: To be determined

40 oz. of water down the hatch!

So far this week, I am down 3 lbs. but those are the pesky pounds that creeped up when my TOM came the end of last week. I am hoping to lose 2 more by the end of the week. Gotta get my butt more in gear. Thursday evening I will be home so I am going to dance and provide my hubby with 40 mins. of pure comic entertainment!! :pound:

A CONFESSION

I have lost my motivation...It want kaput. I am waiting to get a proper fill (I have only had one) and actually know what restriction is and in the meantime, I haven't kept to the banster rules. Now granted, I eat a little less than pre band but still not like I should. Today I had an egg mcmuffin for Breakfast, 1 1/2 oatmeal Cookies, whopper jr. with cheese and small ff and a piece of cake.

When I used to eat breakfast at McD's before it was egg mcmuffin, hash browns, breakfast burrito and a coke. or at BurgerKing it was a full size whopper lg ff and coke. But that just sounds like I am trying to justify, which I am not.

I go for a fill a week from today, I sure hope I get some restriction then. I have been drinking with some of my meals and not chewing well, I need to get prepared for when I do have restriction.

So anyway, I felt the need to confess my sins and start over.

Yeap, confession is good for the soul. Start fresh the next meal and not tomorrow. Start by eating the bandster way. Last Tuesday nite I pigged out on Cereal and pumpkin bread:hungry: , haven't cheated since. One full week, and that is saying ALOT for me.

Okie, I know it is tough. Pick yourself up and move on. You can't undo it so don't dwell on it. Just think about next week. It is only a week away, right?!

That sounds good, but what would be easier, doing a new one every few months or having a forum of just bootcamp for goal?
