  1. My name is Aukele. I am from Hawaii.. Lots of weight to lose, little time to commit to exercise, but 20 minutes?? Piece of cake, or fruit (now)?? Lol! On my first week of this great program, and am amazed how easy it is for me to get up a little earlier knowing its only 20 minutes, not dreading a 1/2 hour workout or 45 min like most are.

    Oh.. I'm 23. Graduated in 2008 with a BSBA degree in Marketing. I work at a retirement residence in the food service department (a challenge within itself!). I'm excited!! I am following the Weight Watchers eating plan for now. Monitoring my points. I have a subscription for it online. I don't attend the meetings.

    A few cookbooks I love include: Slow Cook It (from Weight Watchers) Now Eat This (Rocco Dispirito) and Elie Krieger's stuff!!!

    Onward with the journey!!! :-)

  2. So I just got down with DVD #3 - Chest, Triceps and Butt - man oh man!! This was the toughest work out yet. Hardest move (besides the push-up, I'm working on it)?? Where you are in the table position, wrapping the band around one foot, and holding the two ends with both hands, then pushing that foot out... Burned so good!! Bring it on DVD #4!

    Today I had 2 Nutri-Grain Waffles with some Pumpkin Fluff (FF Cool Whip w/ Pumpkin Puree, Splenda and Cinnamon) and light syrup for Breakfast. A yogurt for a snack. A Tuna Melt and Salad with Ginger/Wasabi Viniagrette for lunch, another yogurt after my workout.. now off to sushi for dinner!

  3. Love what you're sharing hear!! And what delicous recipes... I have a feeling the sushi where you are is MUCH better than what I get from around where I live!

    Thanks so much for sharing and please keep it up!

  4. Yesterday I did Workout #4. The difficulty level (for me) was the same as #3, just working different areas! Today I feel my body saying, "OMG whats going on here!!" It'll get used to it. I'm taking a rest day today and I'll be doing #5 tomorrow. Seems like my rest days may be Friday/Saturday, unless this coming week I work out 6 days (Sun-Fri) and then have the weekends off (I started this week on a Tuesday, so that's why my days are a little off). Wasn't able to weigh myself because the battery died on my scale and we were out of batteries in the house. Since today is my cheat day I probably won't be weighing in tomorrow, just cause I know it'll be skewed. For my cheat meal I had a McDonald's Chicken Nugget Mighty Kids Meal. A little bit of everything! And I topped it off with a little bit of candy.

    Some people believe in cheat meals/days, others don't. I do. It works for me. It is something to look forward to at the end of the week. Also, throughout the week, when eating foods I may not like, I don't feel deprived of anything, because I know if I really want it, I can use it for my cheat meal.

    Another thing I've discovered is coconut water. Its a natural sports drink. It has more potassium than 2 bananas and all the leading sports drinks, plus it is very low in sodium. It's also FILLED with Vitamin C, naturally sweetened with natural fruit sugars, it tastes good too!! An 11.6 ounce container has about 60 calories, no fat, 15g carbs (sugar carbs), 700 something (I think) mg of potassium, and 230% DV of Vitamin C.

    That's it for now!! Hope you all are enjoying becoming Powerfit!!!

    Thank you Steph! I'm learning alot of tips and tricks reading Lisa Lillien's cookbooks, Weight Watchers ones and Rocco Dispirito (I've just started with). I'm learning to use Pumpkin as a natural (good for you) thickener in soups. I've used it in a tortilla soup, and a Red Thai Curry soup. You can't taste the pumpkin, it just gives it beautiful color and helps to thicken it up while adding a nice dose of Vitamin A!!! Have a great Sunday!

  5. Today I started back with DVD #1. This week it was harder than last week!! Probably because my muscles are all a little tender from its initial welcome back to the healthy world.

    The exercise that I can improve on the most is towards the end of the program. Seated on the floor the band is wrapped around both legs, knees slightly bent. Holding the band you lower your back, using your core to hold you up. I am able to do it, but the range I do it at right now is very very small. As time goes on and I continue to stick to this program I know that the range will grow.

    Today's food intake wasn't the best. I had a few Hershey's Bliss Chocolate Easter Eggs. Maybe like 5. And I had a chocolate marshmallow and a Reeses' Peanut Butter Egg (the smaller ones). Ummm so yeah.. thats all kinda not right, but it is what it is. Besides all that junk, I had to servings of Healthy to Go Go Green Powder Packets w/ Water, an Acai Diet Energy Drink, Fiber 1 Yogurt (in Strawberry), Fiber 1 90 calorie bar, Some Beef w/ mixed vegetables with Brown Rice for lunch (kind of a stir-fry, at work we get free meals, so it is whatever is being served for the day). Since I am not able to determine the nutritional values of the food at work - I usually stay away from it if its any type of casserole, the food is swimming in oil, cream based or other hinters that its just all wrong in so many ways. Stir fry type dishes are usually safe (as today's was). In the case that I don't eat food work provides, I always keep soup at my desk, and can always have a Pbutter and banana sandwich or a tuna sandwich. Dinner was this mexican-ish dish my Mom made. It was basically this Chicken and Picante Sauce Mixture in a Whole Wheat Soft Taco Size tortilla, then covered in some type of red sauce - maybe it was Enchilada Sauce with Reduced Fat Sour Cream. It was okay. Also had my favorite Garbanzo Beans tossed in No-Fat Sour Cream w/ Cumin, Salt and a few other ingredients my mom adds that I always seem to forget.

    Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day at eating. I really need to plan better! I know I'll be having a GNC beFUlfilled shake after my workout w/ 4z soy milk and 4z water. Not too sure what is for lunch, I have a couple fall backs if I don't feel like making dinner (1. Frozen Lean Cuisine; 2. Baked Chicken Nuggets and BBQ Sauce).

    To a better and more PowerFit day tomorrow!

  6. Oh Cardio.. how I hate.. I mean love thou!!! I got kicked in the butt.. again today!! I need to loosen up a whole lot more, and keep those knees bent so I can move quicker and more freely instead of being so stiff! Workout was good and tough, I thought the squats were gonna do me in, but I made it through!! Hardest part for me was not touching the band when it is on the floor. You really have to work on getting your feet up off the ground. After a while I just threw it on the side cause it was moving all over the place. Eventually though, I will master it!! hehe..

    So far, pretty good on the food!

    B: GNC Protein Packet (WW 3 pts) and 8z soy milk (WW 2pts).
    S: WW Apple Pie Ala Mode Yogurt (WW 1 pt).
    L: Turkey and Pastrami Sandwich (8pt) Cheez-It 100c pkg (2 pt) and a Soda :( (7pt) (NOTE: I've heard countless enjoyable remarks about Crush's Pineapple Soda, and I've only seen it in the 12 packs and stuff, but I found the 20z bottle at the store this morning so I figured I'd try it. Its yummy, not a necessity, if it comes out in diet form I may purchase it)

    That leaves me with 6 points for the rest of the day. Afternoon snack may be a graham cracker... Dinner will probably be soup and salad.

    Definitely ready for DVD #3 tomorrow. #3 and #4 are my favorite workouts so far!

  7. Today's workout was good!! Certain parts I enjoyed more than others. Some exercises feel good, others burn so much you wanna stop, but you don't, you keep pushin through for a better you - a powerfit you. I'm so happy that I've stuck with this program for a week and a half now, every day, first thing in the morning. That's amazing to me. I'm so excited for the new healthy me.

    In the past, because I worked out, I'd feel its okay if I have this or that, since I worked out. Now, because I'm working out I want to eat healthier and better so that my hard work doesn't go to waste or just keep my weight stable. I want to be better!! I still have the ever-present addiction to chocolate, but every day I get better at controlling my chocolate portions!!

    Today's Food!

    B: 8z soymilk, GNC WellBeing beFulfilled Chocolate Protein Powder
    S: 100 Calorie Cheez-It Packet
    L: Teri Beef Pattie w/ Brown Rice
    S: 1 serving (5-6 Bliss Candys)
    D: Baked Chicken Nuggets, BBQ Sauce
    S: Fat-Free Popcorn

  8. So Doing DVD #4 I've come to realize that my weakness is my own body. The planks and push-ups are by far the hardest things for me. Well, I guess that should be obvious.. I am overweight, so its a lot of weight to hold up!! But I do love the back work out.. Its one of the easiest parts for me to work out, so I go a little hard!! I pull the band more tight than Stephanie does in her video for the lat pull down and also for the row at the end of the work out. Today was great, tomorrow will be better!!!

    My lovely coworker went to California last week, and today she brought in fudge from Knotts Berry Farm... oh great.. unfortunately my fat demon won over my health angel. I had a "number" of slivers of the different fudges she had. But for some reason I'm thinking fudge has less calories and fat than regular chocolate candies?? I could be wrong. Oh Well... Besides that..

    B: Turkey Wraps (2)
    S: Fudge
    L: Chicken and Vegetables with Portuguese Bean Soup
    S: Fudge
    D: Mung Bean Noodles (glass) w/ Eggplant and re-hydrated shiitake mushrooms in veggie broth and some fat-free popcorn

    One more day of workouts than 2 days of rest!!! Happy Friday all!

  9. WOW!!! I'm so relieved that today was more stretching and very relaxed core work. I was surprised at how well I did in the one exercise where your feet and back are off the ground, and then you lower, and come back up.. First couple tries I lost balance, but after that, although the range was small, I did it!!! During the exercise where you lift one are and the opposite leg and bring it in and out I learned something very important... my right side is weaker than my left side. I kept on losing balance. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I am battling carpal tunnel with my right wrist and so its naturally weaker than my left, not too sure, but at least its something to work on! I think I can do this video throughout the weekend, just because its very low impact and something to do.. I might even re-do the Cardio video.. I mean .. come on.. its only 20 minutes!!!! :-)

    I really can't wait for PowerFit Harmony and Plus to come out. I will definitely be purchasing both of them.

    Today's food intake was decent:
    B: Honey Nut Cheerios and Milk
    S: Reduced-fat Banana Bread
    L: Penne Pasta w/ Bratwurst (tomato based sauce)
    S: Pine Nuts
    D: Banana Peanut Butter Sandwich w/ Milk

  10. For this week I'd like to attempt to step it up a notch. My game plan is as follows:

    Monday - Legs and Shoulders / Cardio (DVDs 1,2)
    Tuesday - Core Fusion (DVD 5)
    Wednesday - Chest, Triceps and Butt / Cardio (DVDs 3,2)
    Thursday - Core Fusion (DVD 5)
    Friday - Back, Biceps and Thighs / Cardio (DVDs 4,2)

    Depending on how I feel Saturday, I may do Core Fusion again, just to get a complete stretch after what I'd expect to be a long/hard week. I may drop the Cardio to Just Mon and Fri, since its a big change going from 5 workouts a week to 8 workouts a week.

    We'll see! Time to get PowerFit!!!

    Posted 5 months ago #
  11. Monday's workout completed this morning!! Felt good.. Definitely drenched my clothes in some sweat, but it went good!! I feel a lot stronger. I have to walk up stairs to get to my apartment, and I've noticed that I'm not as out of breath as I used to be. Towards the end of the cardio workout when we would pump our arms in different directions my shoulders were burning so bad since I worked them earlier.

    B: Yogurt, Fiber 1 Bar
    S: Coffee Cake Slice
    L: 1/2 Tuna Sandwich, Chicken Noodle Soup, Stuffing
    S: Chocolate
    D: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and Corn

    Tomorrow I will be doing Core Fusion, DVD #5

    Goodnight!! Sleep is definitely important to being Powerfit!

    Posted 5 months ago #
  12. So today I did Core Fusion. I can definitely see an improvement in my strength. Problem areas that I had last time I did this DVD are getting better! I can feel some tired muscles in my thighs and other places, but overall I feel good.

    B: Egg White and Turkey Sausage Muffin Sandwich (Jimmy Dean De-Lights)
    S: Upside Down Banana Cream Pie (Yoplait Banana Cream Pie Yogurt, w/ a crushed graham cracker over it)
    L: 2 pieces of Chicken (in a not so good for you sauce), 1 cup of light ice cream (co-worker's birthday)
    S: 3 Pieces of Chocolate (yes, I am improving on my chocolate intake!)
    D: Roasted Vegetables, Potatoes Au Gratin, Curried Quinoa w/ Carrots n Raisins, Cole Slaw and 1/2 c Chicken. Everything but the Chicken was Vegan and from a health food store here in Hawaii. Yummy, but expensive food!

  13. Hi Kelegirl6! I love Powerfit, too! Your menu makes me hungry. I love those Jimmy Dean De-Lights. Weight Watchers makes a yummy breakfast scramble as well.

    Posted 5 months ago #
  14. Hi stephaniesherie ..thanks on the menu!! Its not perfectly healthy by any means, but its the truth (good and bad)!!! How long have you been doing Powerfit?? Are you excited for the upcoming launch?? Whats your favorite video and/or exercise?

    Today I did Chest, Triceps and Butt + Cardio for 40 minutes of POWERFITNESS!! haha. By the end of the cardio session, just holding the band in half and pushing out was sore! The cardio stretches at the end, my muscles were shaking they were so tired, but I pushed through!!

    I'm happy I'm sticking to my workout plan for this week, next week I'll probably change it up again and then the following week take a breather and just do one dvd everyday instead of doubling up on certain days!

    Today's menu is as follows:

    B: Egg n Sausage Scramble (1/3 c egg whites, 2 Jennie O Bfast Turkey Sausage Links, 1/2 a handful of 2% shredded cheese, and seasonings). Drizzled some ketchup on top (just some!!) because I DISLIKE eggs very much! I always have something w/ my eggs unless its the corned beef hash omelet from iHop. I usually use ketchup or steak sauce.

    S: Power Crunch Chokolat Crunch Protein Crisp Bar. It has 200c and 10g protein.

    L: (this is where I'm bad - don't do this at home guys/gals) Beef Stroganoff w/ Egg Noodles and 1/2 c ice cream

    S: nothing yet, probably a 100c pack of something

    D: not too sure, maybe a 6" sub from Subway.

  15. So Thursday I skipped out on Core Fusion... but Friday I did Biceps, Back n Thighs and Cardio.

    Definitely a hard week, I'm glad I stuck with it (with the exception of Thursday). It was quite hard. I think next week I'll double Cardio and Core Fusion and do the Strength Training dvd's alone.

    I don't know whats up with my weight. I haven't really lost any. I know I haven't had the best eating habits, but even before I started working out I pretty much ate the same way and stayed at the same weight. Since working out I've picked up a pound or two and don't lose anything, actually the day I didn't workout I lost a pound, weird, but today when I weighed myself I picked it right back up. Maybe this week I'll just try harder to be better about my diet.

    Besides my "weight" I feel stronger. I live in walk-up, and walk stairs every day. I used to be out of breath, but now I can pretty much conquer the stairs keeping the same breathing pace as walking on leveled ground!

  16. Hi stephaniesherie ..thanks on the menu!! Its not perfectly healthy by any means, but its the truth (good and bad)!!! How long have you been doing Powerfit?? Are you excited for the upcoming launch?? Whats your favorite video and/or exercise?

    I have been doing Powerfit for about a year, I think, maybe a bit more. My little boy wasn't crawling yet and he is 17 months now! I love Powerfit so much. It was the only decent workout I could fit in my new Mommy schedule. I am super excited about the new workouts! YES! I'm also ready for a new band, mine has almost bit the dust. :-) My favorite Powerfit Video is the 1st one. I think it ROCKS!

    Posted 5 months ago #
  17. So definitely excited for this week.. As my tummy is full from all the yummy food I over-indulged in I ready to take this week by force!!!

    M: Legs and Shoulders
    TU: Cardio and Core Fusion
    W: Chest, Triceps and Butt
    TH: Cardio and Core Fusion
    F: Biceps, Back and Thighs

    I really need to go grocery shopping so I am not too sure how tomorrow's meals will play out. Hopefully something along the lines of...

    B: Protein Shake
    S: Fiber 1 Yogurt/Bar
    L: Sandwich and/or Soup (I do have some left over ham, so I'll probably make a sandwich)
    S: Protein Bar
    D: Whatever mom makes, since its mom's cooking night, she usually tries to be decent w/ the food since she knows I'm trying to eat healthy!

    Hope everyone has a Powerfit week!! So excited for Friday!

  18. Aukele:

    Just popping in to say YOU GO GIRL!!! :-) I love the energy and the enthusiasm as you tackle this week... I have no doubt you are going to turn up the heat on your workouts and maybe you can send some of your high energy vibes my way when I'm up doing the first HARMONY show at 4AM this Friday!!!

    I'm also going to post and advanced HARMONY rotation where you do 2 workouts a day, but rarely do you do the exact same combination over the 30 days - so you are muscle confusing like crazy - which is even better for results. Can't wait for you to try it!!

    Have a wonderful week and tell your mom "great job" on keeping you eating healthy by working with you on healthy dinners :-)

  19. Hi Stephanie! Thank you :-) Each week I'm getting stronger and stronger and consequently more motivation to keep it up!! I'm super excited for the 2 a days, I've already started planning how I'll vary it up till I get the Harmony (it takes maybe a week from the ordering date, to actually get the produce from QVC). Next week I'll definitely just do one a days and take a breather from the two weeks of varied workouts, and then the week after (if I don't have Harmony yet, I'll do a workout in the morning and then cardio in the evenings 1-3x a week).

    Monday - I did Legs and Shoulders as planned.

    B: Toast, Peanut Butter and Banana
    S: Yoplait's new Greek Yogurt in Vanilla Honey flavor
    L: Roast Beef Sub Sandwich
    S: Dessert Taste Testing (its part of my job, honestly!!)
    D: Chicken Pasta using Whole Wheat Linguini
    Dessert: I shouldn't have, but I did - Warmed Peaches and Apples (Apples tossed in Cinnamon and Splenda) w/ Fat-free Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

    Tuesday - This morning I was DRAGGING so much, I wanted to skip my workout sooooo bad!!
    I didn't skip it, but I wasn't 100%. I would say I went through Cardio + Core Fusion at about 50-75%. Don't worry, I was sweating, so I still got in a workout, just wasn't the best I could've had, thats okay though!!!

    B - I had a POWER SHAKE!! Lol. Milk, Chocolate Protein Packet, 1 Banana and a Tbsp of Smart Balance Peanut Butter (i love it!!)

    S - Mini Luna Bar in Chocolate Peppermint Stick

    For Lunch I'll have a cup of Portuguese Bean Soup (a must try when you come to Hawaii) and probably a ham sandwich. My work provides lunch and fixins for sandwiches. I brought some left over Ham from Easter, so I'll throw it in some bread w/ lettuce, tomato and onion!!!

    Not too sure what will be the menu for the rest of the day, but I always keep a Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice frozen dinner in the freezer, along with Healthy Choice soups in the pantry for those lazy, i'm not cooking days!!

  20. Ok, so today is April 8, 2010.. its a quarter till 9pm...

    Today I did Chest, Triceps and Butt paired with Cardio.
    On Wednesday, the 7th, I ended up sleeping at my mom's and then blah blah blah, I didn't work out. So I did two today, which is fine since I didn't have to be at work till 12pm. I have a catering event tonight.

    My first round of push-ups in the C,T and B Program are not a problem, but the second time around, my wrist starts to hurt :( (carpal tunnel). When I first started my wrist couldn't even handle the first set, so thats an improvement.

    Also, today is my Mom's birthday. I took her to breakfast at IHOP. I ordered from the "healthy menu". I had two egg whites scrambled, 2 slices of turkey bacon and 2 harvest oat n nut pancakes. For lunch I had a 6" turkey sub from Subway with Baked BBQ Lays Chips. For dinner I had some leftovers from the catering function I did (Grilled Vegetable Salad w/ Balsamic Honey Reduction, Teriyaki Meatballs, Chow Mein, and 2 pieces of sushi). It was a "heavy pupu" catering event. Heavy pupus mean heavy appetizers, kind of like a light meal but not a complete. And so we only had small 6" plates for serving. 1 plate had noodles and sushi, the other plate were filled with the veggies and 5 meatballs.

    Besides that... I ALREADY BOUGHT MY POWERFIT HARMONY ON QVC!!! I actually bought two! My Aunty wanted one as well. Kind of expensive shipping to HI but thats okay. I'll be watching Stephanie at 10 tonight! (4am est).

    Posted 5 months ago #
  21. Today I did Biceps, Thighs and Back. It was a great workout. The planks always get me.

    B: Subway Egg White Western Sandwich on Light Whole Wheat English Muffin
    S: PowerCrunch Chokolat Protein Bar
    L: Chicken and Egg Noodle Soup (Healthy Choice)
    S: A mini croissant and chocolate chip cookie
    D: Roy's Restaurant (not too sure what I'm having yet, but I know I'm going there).

    This week has been tough in the weight department, although I am not dismayed because I feel better, I can breathe better climbing stairs, so that is success for me. Today marks my first 4 weeks (1 month) of PowerFit. This next month I'm turning up the heat on the nutritional side. I'm doing better at avoiding the sweets at work, but there is always room for improvement. Hoping to watch the scale drop this next month!!

  22. Ok wow!! It's been a while :-)

    Sunday night an Uncle passed away suddenly. So lately I've been busy helping my Aunty and being there for my little cousin, he is 15. I've been through this twice (grandma, and then Dad) so myself and another Aunty are helping her. I've had some late nights, needless to say.

    Monday, I did DVD 1.
    Tuesday, I was quite exhausted so I slept in.
    Wednesday, I did DVD 2.

    This week, I'm just taking it easy and doing 1 a days. Following the program in order.
    I had gone shopping to follow the Huckabee eating plan, but didn't get to get everything, and then my family emergency came up, so I'm half eating good, half not. Better than fully not!

    Today I had 8z almond milk w/ a GNC Protein Packet for breakfast, Li Hing Mui Apples as a snack, a Tuna sandwich (using one slice of bread) for lunch w/ a 100c pack of Cheez-its, and Hershey's Kisses... Its that wonderful time of the month, no wonder I've been a chocolate feign last week and this week. Usually when I am this determined to lose weight I can control my Chocolate urges better, but its been pretty ridiculous this week and last.. no wonder....

    ANYHOW... thats that... I really can't wait for PFH to get here!

    Posted 4 months ago #
  23. So Thursday and Friday I did DVD's 3 and 4.

    TOMORROW I START POWER FIT HARMONY!!!! WOOOOOO HOOO!!
    Wish me luck!! :-)

    I think that the eating plan, although versatile, is not pretty on the penny pocket. I will use it, but not to the tee. I'll probably do a modified version and repeat the meals a couple times in a row (like the same thing for lunch a couple times a week). There is a lot of prep for the meals (i.e. the shakes) I'll probably do the shakes as breakfast since I workout first thing in the morning.

  24. Hey girl! Have fun w/Harmony!
    That's funny, I find the guide's recipes very cheap. THe chicken salad is super easy and I eat mine with reduced fat wheat thins. I do the same with tuna salad, too. The homemade pizzas we have done for years and they are WAY cheaper than take-out. For the chicken quesidillas she mentions - I made mine with the tyson can of shredded chicken for 99 cents. I sauted the chicken with onion, garlic, and spices. With the mozz. cheese - it was so good and made so many! I'm not much of a shake person so I can speak to that as much.
    I like those hearty breakfasts - for myself I do one veggie sausage pattie, 1 egg white & 1 egg (sometimes just two egg whites), healthy butter with omegas and low-cal wheat toast. It taste so good and the contents in the packages last a week or more (the sausage usually runs out first..

    I hope that helps!

  25. @stephaniesherie I did enjoy today's first workout. Prices in Hawaii are much more different than the continental US! So there may be a difference there!!!

    Today I did Program 1. I found that since I've gotten used to PowerFit, it was easier to follow the new routine first time around, compared to the first time I did PowerFit! I'd liked the switch up!! All those knee ups are affecting my abs as I type this over lunch!! Its so funny, because Stephanie says to not let that band sag and right when she said it I was just about to release a little bit of tension, so after she made that comment and the right time, I decided to push through!

    So far my food menu is as follows:

    Breakfast - Chocolate PButter Shake: 1/2 c almond milk, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (100c, 2.5g fat, .5g fiber, 18.5g protein), 1 tbsp smart balance creamy peanut butter (no hydrogenated oils), ff and sf diet hot cocoa packet (6.5pts)

    Morning Snack - Fiber 1 90 calorie Bar (1 pt)

    Lunch - Tuna w/ Olive Oil Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, Celery, Broccoli, Asst Melon, Turkey Rice Soup (1 cup), Hummus (1/4c) (10 pts)

    I am on the heavier side, thats why I have so many points available! Lol... I am following weight watchers.

    Ready for Day 2!

  26. So.. I catch myself looking at the running time on the DVD player every now and then when doing my workouts in the morning...

    Today??? I was completely taken back as we were doing the last side plank and she said that it was the last move for the workout, I looked at the time and it was around 19:08. I couldn't believe it, whew that was fast!

    I really enjoyed this workout and the new moves. Those slow kicks were killer!!

    Repeated yesterday's breakfast today. (6.5pts)

    Morning Snack - 98%FF Popcorn (the entire bag) (1 pt)

    Lunch - Tuna Salad Lettuce Cups, Celery/Broccoli with Hummus, Fruit (7 pts)

    I have some mini luna bars as a snack, or a handful of Gerber Graduates Sweet Potato Puffs. Dinner will probably be BBQ Chicken Breast.

    Woo hoo!! Tomorrow I get to sleep in :-)

    Posted 4 months ago #
  27. REST DAY TODAY!!! :-) I got some extra sleep!! That was extra nice :-)

    Breakfast - 2 Gluten Free Blueberry Waffles, Light Syrup and a sprinkle of Pecan Nuts

    Morning Snack - 98% FF Popcorn (3/4 of the bag)

    Lunch - Curried Chicken Salad w/ Pecans, Celery and Broccoli; Assorted Fruits; Lettuce Cups

    Afternoon Snack - Rest of the popcorn, Piece of Cornbread w/ Margarine n Honey (someone made it for me).

    Dinner - Curried Chicken Salad with all those fixins at lunch served in Lettuce Cups.

    Dessert - Pani Popo (A Samoan Dessert - sweet bread w/ a coconut, soupy glaze)

  28. 4/29/2010

    Yes. I've been MIA!

    I've been on vacation!! :-) I had a stay-cation at home, and vacationed from my fitness routine as well. We just stayed up late and always started the day early busy doing fun stuff!! My cousin came in from one of the outer islands and we hung out for 4 days!! So the rest of this week I was recuperating from lost sleep!!

    Tomorrow I am starting a 7 Day Fast Loss program from the Total Lean brand at GNC, as well as starting up PFH again tomorrow! As I'm writing this my cousin informed me she is making tacos tonight... Guess I'll go get some shredded lettuce from Safeway so I can have a taco salad instead (minus the taco)! :-)

  29. I really think I should move in and enjoy that awesome food choices that you have!! we could trade workouts for meals :-)

    Hope you're well-rested and feeling strong and please continue to keep us posted. I love how you share both your easy successes and how you plan ahead to stick to healthy eating when you otherwise might face a challenge.

    Have a wonderful week!
