TurboFire Week 1 Review

I finished the first week of TurboFire! Yay! It was amazing! I lost three pounds, which is amazing for me. All of the workouts I did were very intense but I never felt like stopping. I basically smiled the entire workout every day. Chalene makes working out so much fun.

I was very concerned about not being able to keep up but that was not an issue at all. I could keep up the whole time without feeling worn out. I was also worried about the choreography. I don't consider myself very coordinated and I'm not good at learning routines or dances. But I have caught on so quickly! Chalene starts with one move and then adds one move on to that. Then you do that a few times then she will add on another move, and so on. It is brilliant, and makes routines so easy to learn!

Three pounds! Wow! I weighed in Monday at 154! That is one pound lower than I was when I met my husband. I have said before that 155 was my first official goal. And I'm there! I can only imagine where the next 3 months with TurboFire will take me! I just know it will get results. I can already tell a difference in the way I look, but so far it is not a difference that I think anyone else would notice.

Also, an update on my BodyMedia FIT! Since using my BodyMedia a month ago, I have lost ELEVEN POUNDS! WHOA! And that is after I had a serious weight loss plateau and hadn't lost any weight in over a month. So this is big. I am so impressed. It pushes me every day to burn more calories, to take more steps, and just to be more active in general!

I'm on my rest day (Wednesday) of week 2 of TurboFire. Ready to hit it hard tomorrow!

How are you all doing?

Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Review

A few years back, I was using the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor and loved it! I loved it all the way up until the battery died. Then you have to send it into the manufacturer for them to replace the battery. That is such a hassle. So I tried to pry the back open by myself without the tool, which ended up basically just ruining the device. Then I started using the body media fit, which I also loved, but didn't love the monthly subscription fee. A few months ago I bought the Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor  (affiliate link). You can change the battery to this one by yourself. I have to say that this is by far my favorite way to track my calories and heart rate during a workout. The body media I felt did a great job tracking the calories I burned, but it didn't tell me my heart rate. I'm a very visual person, so I absolutely love seeing all the data that the Polar FT7 gives me. It's important to me to see what my heart rate is during a workout to make sure it is not too high. ...

Restarting

Well. I am here again. Here as in blogging again. But here as in, overweight and unhappy, again. How many times will I go up and down with my weight? I was in the best shape of my life a year and a half ago. But so many things have stressed me out lately and I have had health issues. I haven't been as motivated to eat right or exercise. I haven't been consistent with any one thing. I go through this awful cycle of wanting to get in shape and having these ideas of what diet or exercise program I'm going to do, then do it for like a half a week and then get bored with it or totally hate it and so then I quit. Then the next month, I choose a different diet and a different workout program. And I quit. I can't get back into going to the gym. It's too expensive right now and I don't have the time to go with homeschooling and working from home. I also don't have the motivation to go unless I know a friend is going too. I always think back to when I first started th...

Can you do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution during pregnancy?

I have seen many people ask if they can do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution while they are pregnant. The obvious response is to discuss all diet and exercise plans with your doctor! Always, always, always check with your doctor. But if you want my personal opinion, Body Revolution is just not meant for pregnancy. There is a lot of ab work during the workouts and a belly would make that difficult. A lot of the strength and cardio moves are do able, but the big question is, why would you want to do Body Revoltuion during pregnancy? Sure exercise is important to maintain health while you are pregnant, but your body is changing in an awesome way during pregnany. Just enjoy that time, and worry about getting your body "revolutionized" after your baby is here and you are cleared for exercise. That way you can focus all your energy on getting your body in shape. It just doesn't make sense to buy a body changing program when you can't give it your all. But please don't d...
