BBM Week 1 - accountability and encouragement!

[yummeecookee]

Yes- thank you for doing the videos! I'll try them tonight when the littles are asleep.

[wineallthetime]

Alright, day 1 fit test is done! It was super quick.

[klongoria11]

Thank you for the links, I was always having to search last time (you know, for the whole week and a half that I did it. )
I'm going to try really hard to keep up this time around. I have a goal and a beach trip I would like to look nice for!

[trtlcrzy]

Thanks for the tag @peachsmama, but I think I'm going to forgo Bbm this time. I've come to the realization that my body doesn't like high impact type of exercises right now. I still plan to exercise but not using these videos.

[klongoria11]

I would like to lose anywhere from 7-10%. I know that it is going to be hard and it is kind of high, but I know ultimately it is where I would like to be. I'm adding fitstar work outs back in and working on my diet as well.

[LizInFL]

Thanks for the tag! I probably won't start today, still under the weather, but as soon as I'm reasonably better I'll join in.

I'm like sweetpotato, I want to tone up and increase stamina. I think exercise will help my energy levels, too.

[klongoria11]

And to celebrate Day 1 I just bought 3 kinds of G.S. cookies from one of the attorney's daughters.

I'm also going to check out and compete one of the DR ab workouts today. I dont have it bad, but I definitely have it.

Has anyone done them, did they help?

I think I remember finnaroo saying she did after she had B.

[yummeecookee]

Yay- day 1 is complete! I'm weak as all hell. The push-ups killed me.

@peachsmama- can I pm you my email for the workbook too?
Is anyone doing the before pics and measurements?

[klongoria11]

No pictures from me. I'll know if I look different when I'm done without photographic proof.

My legs are still wobbly. I'm not looking forward to the soreness tomorrow.

I found a rad chick from N16 that wants to join our check in and accountability for BBM 6.0. She's interested in starting on Monday with us.

Hiii dashook! Welcome!!

Thanks for the tag! Hi N'13! I'm very excited to come play here next week.

[yummeecookee]

Is it really possible that the soreness I feel today is from last night's workout??

Hi! I've got a cold from hell and the stomach bug so I may just start with you next Monday. I currently sway when I stand so no working out for me.. 

Oh yikes, feel better!

[dashook]

Is this where I can confess that I'm lurking your other threads and dying at Conversations with our 3-year-olds?

[klongoria11]

I did the fit test yesterday and kept count, but I'll only do that the days of the fit tests, not on the rest of the days.

Today I'm feeling it in my thighs, but only going up and down stairs, so it isn't too bad....except that I keep having to go up and down the stairs today!

[cagoldi]

Oh, yay! New blood! Hi dashook. Glad you're here.

[cagoldi]

Haven't done it yet, but tonight I'll take measurements, pics (dreading this), and weight.

I did lose 4 pounds last week following Meal Mentor's meal plans, so I'm feeling encouraged.

[wineallthetime]

Vino, I love her!

[wineallthetime]

Day 2 and 3 done (not sure I'll have time tomorrow). Those side plank things were the worst!

[yummeecookee]

Woohoo- done day 2.
Best part was when B joined me for the mini sprints.

[klongoria11]

Never know just how out of shape you are until Day 2. Man I was breathing hard and sweating like crazy. I just have to remember, it's a step in the right direction and at least I'm trying.

[wineallthetime]

guster, I like the strength days WAY better than cardio!

[klongoria11]

ok, so I cheated. After Cadence went to bed I ate all the things. I should have just gone to bed too, but instead I went in the kitchen. Had mh been home, I wouldn't have snacked, but he wasn't, so I did. I really need to stop this habit.

[Lilac26]

I finally started today! I did day 3 and 2. I like the do the strength and then the cardio together. I have to say I'm not digging the echo of the room she's in. I found it a little distracting. I'm hoping as it goes on it will be less noticeable.

I got up early and did day four. I'm secretly proud of myself.

No need to be secretly proud, that's great

[klongoria11]

I feel good today.
I think I prefer the cardio days to strength ones though. The sweating and heavy breathing make me feel like I'm accomplishing more.
I do mine in the evenings before making dinner, so tonight will be another cardio day for me.

[wineallthetime]

Whew, just finished 4, 5 and 6. She was driving me nuts, especially in 6. Loud kids, toys going off, her talking a ton... I should've muted her for sure.

Four is the same as six, right? I like her, but I get frustrated because she ( her production company) doesn't put the exercise name on the screen when it's time to do it, and she sometimes starts late, so I don't feel like I get the full 45 seconds in. I feel the same way about her cool down. It feels haphazard to me. I really shouldn't complain because she's getting me to work out.
Anyway, I think I may screenshot the work out when she shows it in the beginning and then just use the interval timer for it.

Yes! So annoying. And 6 is the same as 4.

[Lilac26]

I agree. I don't like how she's doing the Q & A during cool down, it's too distracting and she's not getting all the stretches in. She did this during some of the 5.0 and then stopped, here's hoping it doesn't continue.
