Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hi! I know you all have not heard from me in some time, but I have been reading all the posts. The past 3 months have been the most stressful I can remember in 20 years, with all arenas of my life kind of crashing and burning at the same time. I have had little time for anything including answering emails, sleep and exercise, and I have yet to be able to find a new balance/rhythm. I have continued my workouts, but only 2-3 per week instead of 4-6. After having lost a total of 32 pounds since starting tae bo, and being within 10 pounds of my long term goal, I regained 4 of them prior to the Christmas break and am afraid to get on the scale now, My goal for Dec. was not to gain any additional weight, but I don’t think I’m going to make it. So, I am definitely in for the challenge for the New Year. I still have plenty of stress lined up over the next 3 months-more on that later-and as I have often told others, that makes my workouts all the more critical, yet they tend to be one of the first things to go. So count me in for all 6 challenges. Thanks. Delana.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Delana, I know what you mean about finding a balance. I went back to work after being a SAHM for 13 years and I'm still wondering how women do it! :-) I already get up at 5 to get ready for work so I think I'll be working out around 7 p.m. which will be a switch for me. Fortunately I'm working at the kids' school so I don't have to juggle childcare or anything like that. However - while on break, I got a call and the gal who is the assistant to the superintendent will be having surgery tomorrow and both she and the superintendent asked me to take over her job while she's recovering. A huge honor but my, what responsibility! I'm very nervous and wondering what the reception will be like from others there since I've only been there for 4 months! :-( I think stress will be a good friend of mine at least until I get a bit settled - but then of course, she'll be back! :-) Put me down for challenges 1, 3, 4, 5, & 6 guys! I really need to do this for me. Fortunately, I've already joined WW online so that will help me keep my eating in check. Now I need to enter the 12-step program for giving up Mountain Dew! ;-) Joan RE: Re: Challenge Update Hi! I know you all have not heard from me in some time, but I have been reading all the posts.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I am still doing a mixture of tae bo and turbojam. Over the holidays I have been doing a lot of walking, tennis and other activities with the kids, and even through in a Simmon's sweating to the oldies and a cardio bellydancing video for fun. Jan 1st, 2007 here already. Whew. I did advanced live 7 which starts with abs and glutes, glad to get that out of the way, since I hate floor work. Did great with water. did not meet veggie or junk food goal, but that was hard because we are still on " holiday " with the kids and finishing up the remnants of the holiday food and treats. But, I did not do badly considering. Hope you all have had a good start to the new year. Delana. ________________________________ From: tae-bo_on on behalf of Gerard & Leonie Westenberg Sent: Wed 12/27/2006 4:52 PM To: tae-bo_on Subject: Re: Re: Challenge Update Great to hear from you, Delana!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have still not decided when I will do my workout after the kids start back to school and I start back to work. My schedule varies day to day and week to week. Maybe I just have to learn to go with that and not get locked into a set workout time. My problems with evening workouts are several. 1) I am beat. 2) I find it hard to work out after eating, but have tried to preserve the family dinner as an event for us all to get together and touch bases. 3) Both my kids have special needs and homework has been a bear, and they tend to drift/wander if they are supposed to be working on it while I am working out. 4) Unless I find the time and energy to plan ahead for meals that do not require watching, cooking dinner makes it hard to get a long enough block of uninterrupted time to work out before dinner. I have to be at work by 7am, so morning workouts are hard for me right now as well, although that would be my natural time. After March, my schedule will be totally different. Since neither of my boys are in sports right now for the winter quarter, and since they tend to spend too much time sitting in front of computers, I have already warned them that I will require 30 min. of physical activity from them while I am doing my tae bo. I think I will get a jogging trampoline for them since they do not take up much room or cost too much, as I cannot see either one of them being able to make them exercise without a gimmic. I wish I could get them to do tae bo with me, but they just laugh. So, I am hoping to try to get home from work early enough to exercise first thing...We'll see how that goes, and I look forward to any suggestions from the group. Delana. ________________________________ From: tae-bo_on on behalf of Joan Tate Sent: Wed 12/27/2006 6:06 PM To: tae-bo_on Subject: Re: Re: Challenge Update Delana, I know what you mean about finding a balance.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Take baby steps! Do what you can do! Then when you're back 100% dig in! You can do it!On 1/1/07, Delana < dphillips@...> wrote: I have still not decided when I will do my workout after the kids start back to school and I start back to work. My schedule varies day to day and week to week. Maybe I just have to learn to go with that and not get locked into a set workout time. My problems with evening workouts are several. 1) I am beat. 2) I find it hard to work out after eating, but have tried to preserve the family dinner as an event for us all to get together and touch bases. 3) Both my kids have special needs and homework has been a bear, and they tend to drift/wander if they are supposed to be working on it while I am working out. 4) Unless I find the time and energy to plan ahead for meals that do not require watching, cooking dinner makes it hard to get a long enough block of uninterrupted time to work out before dinner. I have to be at work by 7am, so morning workouts are hard for me right now as well, although that would be my natural time. After March, my schedule will be totally different. Since neither of my boys are in sports right now for the winter quarter, and since they tend to spend too much time sitting in front of computers, I have already warned them that I will require 30 min. of physical activity from them while I am doing my tae bo. I think I will get a jogging trampoline for them since they do not take up much room or cost too much, as I cannot see either one of them being able to make them exercise without a gimmic. I wish I could get them to do tae bo with me, but they just laugh. So, I am hoping to try to get home from work early enough to exercise first thing...We'll see how that goes, and I look forward to any suggestions from the group. Delana. ________________________________ From: tae-bo_on on behalf of Joan Tate Sent: Wed 12/27/2006 6:06 PM To: tae-bo_on Subject: Re: Re: Challenge Update Delana, I know what you mean about finding a balance. I went back to work after being a SAHM for 13 years and I'm still wondering how women do it! :-) I already get up at 5 to get ready for work so I think I'll be working out around 7 p.m. which will be a switch for me. Fortunately I'm working at the kids' school so I don't have to juggle childcare or anything like that. However - while on break, I got a call and the gal who is the assistant to the superintendent will be having surgery tomorrow and both she and the superintendent asked me to take over her job while she's recovering. A huge honor but my, what responsibility! I'm very nervous and wondering what the reception will be like from others there since I've only been there for 4 months! :-( I think stress will be a good friend of mine at least until I get a bit settled - but then of course, she'll be back! :-) Put me down for challenges 1, 3, 4, 5, & 6 guys! I really need to do this for me. Fortunately, I've already joined WW online so that will help me keep my eating in check. Now I need to enter the 12-step program for giving up Mountain Dew! ;-) Joan Re: Re: Challenge Update Welcome le! We're glad to have you !

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hi Delana, I too would have a hard time working out in the evenings. I've done it a couple times but I could never do it on a regular basis. I'd probably end up doing early mornings a couple times a week and workout at night only if I had no other choice. I'm sure once you start up you'll get yourself into a groove and find something that works. Let us know what you come up with. WTG on getting your boys to do some activity. My kids love jumping on my rebounder so that's a great idea! Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
