CTM Shapeup Thread-Now or Never :)

I've been on a lil program that I created for myself since January... and I managed to lose 11 pounds so far... but this weekend was a challenge and I probably put a good 2lbs back on.. especially with the two lagers I had... and I was feeling it cuz I have not had a drink since Jan. Anyway... with two weeks away... I thinking if I get back to the gym and work my arse off... I could get another 5lbs off me, it's possible.. that elliptical burns killer calories in no time. Looking ahead, I see this plan working for me to get down to a healthy weight. I eat the same thing each day.... boneless, skinless chicken breast, salad, broccolli.. and sometimes I add a half of baked potato.for dinner. Thanks to Ajay for saying about using bbq sauce as a light dipper on the chicken... I was doing egg white/bread crumbs.. and got sick of it... this way it's even less calories. C'mon folks if I can do it.. anyone can..... last chance workout : )

I'm bouncy ball happy I've being motivated by you awesome gals to do more...thanks for the motivation and the education. Just what my body and soul were searching for, but I gotta ask which one of you popped it into my mind that a cream cheese fresh spinach black olive flour tortilla could be so fr*ckin delicious!?!?!

Hey you don't need doggie downers if you do high protein, low carb. The high protein w the workout helps the muscles to recover, no pain, no soreness, no cramps. Works wonders! Oh and lots of water flushes toxins released through the body.

Good God, I could never do jump rope either....tripped over my own two feet in jazzercise class and fell on my ass.
Hurt my back good. I have a friend who works at a veterinary office....she gave me some really good pain pills. My husband calls them my "doggy downers". They did the trick....few days on them and the heating pad and I'm back in class. Take care Donna...if I lived closer I'd share my doggy downers...lol
RSMS...too frickin funny!

I can't do strenuous cardio because of my surgery so the most I can do there is walk, swim-big swimmer, or sex.lol that's about as strenuous as I get. The rest if the exercise is not super strenuous but effective. Oh and sex is wonderful exercise, it's usually free but you do have to carry his ass around. Lmaoritf!

Thanks for the speed rope and good old school advice :) I don't like to carry a lot of stuff around with me in my travels and want to have some good guided exercise...I already have my toning weights packed :) ...I'm almost embarassingly old school at times lol ;) so this is right up my alley! :) Cheap did someone say? Even with money, I'm still a frugal gal...I can make my pennies streeeeeeeetch lol :) ...there's a beautiful creativity in thin times if you choose to embrace them...I mean, once ya taste the simple life... :) Ok, seriously gals, riddle me this!?!?! Why is it on the day you really want to look your best, that you feel, though it may not be true, like you're the fattest you've ever been??? Why, why dear God why??? :P Heeeeeelp, Sweeties :) Do ya feel me? :) Oh, well, I can at least be giggling about it right now :) I'm hoping I look alright...oh, that reminds me I better finish gettin' ready for my day...you know, even though we don't intend to, us gals can sometimes take a little longer when we're batting from behind (oh, well at least that still looks good lol) and wanna look our best...just a few more things...oh, and then the dog...can't wait to hear the click of my it's been way too long since I've worn them cowboy boots...ahhh...sheer bliss :)
