Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I was in Toronto during the weekend so I didn't get any workouts in. I'm going to do BIU right now.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Burn it Up is done! I still need to stretch, though. The kids didn't let me get to that part.

Boxermom - I've gained 4 lbs since the beginning of this challenge, but I'm going to ignore the scale. My clothes fit better, so I must be redistributing weight and gaining muscle. I've gained some inches too, but DH says I _look_ great, so I'm just going to believe him.

Hmm, I am not sure if I have this right but... wasn't it your hubby who said 6 weeks was not going to make any difference?? I need to go back and look that up!

I don't feel so hot today, so I just did SIU. That was enough for me for today. Loooong day!

Cya tomorrow!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Took my before photos just now. Bleah. My husband's convinced six weeks can't make a noticeable difference in appearance. I'm hoping to prove him wrong with photographic evidence.

Yep! there it is!! You are making him crow for dinner right???

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Ok, finally got in a Si6 workout. Woohoo for me! It was only Start it UP, but I got my hubby, jon, to join the wagon. Tonite was his first workout, he did pretty good, for a guy, lol. I think he is a bit embarrassed and so I stand in front of him some so I don't see him doing the plies and other stuff that he would say is "girly".

I really wanted to do Ramp it Up or even Burn it Up but it's his first day so I want him to focus on getting the form down. We probably will do SiU tomorrow too, hopefully I can move onto Ramp it Up by the end of the week, we will see.

LOL, now hubby and I can whine to each other about the squat ****.

Oh, we did 6 pack, and limber. All in all a pretty good workout, I can tell I haven't done much in a while, my legs were sore during plies and squats.

Well at least I can finally change my siggy from 15 to 16 workouts done!

Hey ladies

I've been offline since Saturday - having ISP issues and going through withdrawals. The good news? ISP is back up and running. Bad news? I'm still sick. Ugh.

Instead of using my head and resting up again yesterday, we went out and tore up the town last night. I woke up feeling like I did on Saturday. ....One step forward, 2 steps back.

I'm going to give RIU a go tomorrow, even if I have to do it in 10 minute sessions. The coughing is killing me.

Blah.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I think everyone's got the same cold.....ugh! Not really in this challenge anymore but thought I'd add my slow restart of 10 minutes of Start it Up to the pot. Doing more tomorrow.....It's awful to be the size of an anvil, finally be able to push myself around for about 3 weeks and get almost completely through Ramp It Up then have to rearrange stuff for 2 weeks and not fit in any exercise then be back to dragging myself around again....I'm sure I'll be able to get there a little faster this time, though.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

It has been 5 days since I have done any, any, any SI6. I have felt like crap and have been doing Walk Away the Pounds instead. I refuse to let it get to me. I actually feel good today, so at some time and some way I will be doing RIU.
I am still torn about orderingn TJ. I have so many different vids in my library. I have the Slim Series. I went through and saw how long they are -- wow! So now I will just have to suck it up and order TJ because it is only 45 minutes. I also still have the Power You that I will be fitting in somewhere since there is no sense ordering something and then not using it.
Its not that I am glad that no one has been able to change their number completed. Its just that misery loves company and there seems to be a lot of us. I basically have 14 more workouts to go and I will complete them!

Are we keeping this thread as the one for the next challenge? I think that it would be good to keep it here so that we can go back and read how we have b*thced and complained and then finally got the hot bodies that we all worked so hard to get.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

LOL, Barbde! You got him!

DH actually ate crow awhile ago. He is _amazed_ by how far I've come in such a short time. He keeps feeling my muscles. (Or at least that's his excuse!)

I don't have a healthy relationship with my scale yet, but I'm getting there. My new goals are body weight, clothing size, and appearance focused. I'm still using the scale as a reference so that my weight doesn't run away from me, though, since when I'm exercising, I like to EAT!

I had a major breakthrough yesterday. Like many of you, I've always felt uncomfortable exercising in front of other people. But I'm traveling right now, and my work out locations are very limited. My options were either to BIU in a crowded dark bedroom, or in a spacious livingroom of a relative for all to see. I decided to just work out in the livingroom. And what I was thinking at the time was, "this is GOOD for me, and they should be doing it to, so why should _I_ be the one who's embarassed?!" PROGRESS!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Turner- Exactly how long do the Slim Series run for time?

Anna- Glad you didn't let a audience keep you from getting your Beach Body.

RIU completed. The finish line is in sight but I will continue on with Debbie until we start our next challenge. I don't want to lose the progress I am seeing and feeling.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Whoo hooo!! Burned it Up, with only my kids for an audience this time. 7 more workouts to go.

Just peeked at Brook's new vidiot challenge page. It looks great! I may break down and purchase Turbo Jam. I'm wondering if they'll lower the price after Christmas?

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I'm sucking it up and ordering TJ. Hopefully, it will be in as an early birthday present. I'm on-line with the CS chat now trying to see if I can get the promo code. Its worth a try.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Wow! I asked for a discount for frequent orderers because I have POwer 90, Slim in 6, Slim Series and Power You. I am a beachbody nut. Anyway, they are giving me 20% off!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Got it! It will be here by next Thursday.
