Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

Do you log into www.wowy.com when you do your exercise?

I looked at wowy.com, even signed up I think. But I don't NEED anymore places to log my exercise LOL.
I'm already logging here in the 6WEC and the Presidents Challenge, that's enough. AND I get cute little buttons for my siggy from the challenges!

Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

I did the first workout again today (DAY 2)... I'm SORE! I couldn't keep up as much as I did yesterday because of being sore. My mustles above my knees hurt. I'm so out of shape I'm just going to take it one day at a time!

That's how you have to do it Sweet Sadie. Just DON't quit! It will get better. Do what you can do, march out what you can't. I couldn't get through it either in the beginning. You will be amazed at how much strength you gain if you keep with it!

Feels good, though, doesn't it?

Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

Ok, day 3 and I did it! Seems like I did worse than day 1 and day 2. Ouch! I took 4 ibuprofen and am committed, but DANG... Are you sure it's supposed to be done 6 days a week?

I could see how she could get irritating... oh sorry, that's just my sore muscles, they have a bad attitude!

I'm GRUNTING when I bend over... Ha ha ha ha!

Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

I just started my slim in 6 exercises today (My DVD's came in on Friday). I did Start it Up and slim and limber. Then... I threw up . I really didn't over exert myself, I think I drank too much water during the exercising though. I also had a cup of coffee about 1/2 hr before I started. I will eliminate that tomorrow though. Now that I have relaxed an hour or so, I feel relatively normal - although a bit weak, not really sore right now, just muscle tiredness. I did pretty well keeping up with the workout, except my arms got tired and I couldn't do all of the squats - I did most of them though. I do need to get a mat to to the ab section though... my tailbone was getting sore. I am going to work hard and stick with the program though, Only 81 days until my cousin's October wedding and my goal dress!

Sadie, did you take before pictures of your front, side and back? I had my DH take them this morning in my bike shorts and sports bra... (Without sucking in...) What a shocker to actually see myself in these pictures - I usually hide from the camera and now I know why! Looking at those pictures will be motivation enough to keep me on track with exercise and on this WOE!

Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

Jill,
I would throw up too if I did Start It Up (SIU) AND anything else! I plan to just do SIU until I can actually DO SIU all the way through!!! Ha ha ha! Today will be my Day number 5 doing SIU and yesterday (day 4) I noticed that I wasn't as sore, which was a relief because for the first 3 days I just kept getting more and more sore daily.

OH MY, my ARMS get so BURNING TIRED and I have to give them a break. My upper body strength is zilch! I couldn't do one pushup the first day and yesterday I did 4. Ha ha ha! Progress! I need a mat too - I'm putting my hands under my (aching sore abused and arthritic) tailbone for now.

As far as the before pictures go... I only took one in a mirror when I started Atkins and I only measured my waist. You see, I've taken before pictures and measurements on EVERY FRIGGING DIET I've ever been on and I'm just "over it." Everyone I know has seen me yoyo and I'll bet they're saying something like, Sadie's at it again!" I don't need pictures and measurements AGAIN for motivation or anything. I have a feeling Atkins is my answer for life, because I'm finally sane with food and have no cravings and finally feel normal eating this way. I will avoid sugar and carbs like I learned to avoid cigarettes.

Rambling on...
I've lost 4 inches in my waist since June 7th (my Atkins start date).

I'm glad you are starting Slim in 6 with me! Someone said in Vidiots house of pain that the music sounds like porno music and it DOES! I think of that every time I hear the music now. Tee-hee!

Ok, I'm off to do my SI6 SIU workout now - Day 5 workout will be finished in 25 minutes!

Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

I'm a Slim in 6 nut. I started it at a point when I had NEVER really exercised in my life. When I first got it, I just decided to see how far i could get through it and use that to guage my progress. Each day I'd try to get through an additional segment of the workout (which is about 1 minute) and eventually after about a week, I was doing the entire first video.

Re: Just ordered Slim-in-6

Sadie,
I hear ya with the picture thing. I totally avoid pictures, and I really didn't have any full body shots of myself without one of the kids in front of me... I had my 6 y.o. daughter take my picture in my swimsuit when I began atkins. But I really wanted to see if there would be a noticeable difference by doing the Slim in 6.
I might gather up the courage to post them in the future if there is a big difference! We'll just have to wait and see...
