Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Hope you're feeling better, Emma! I know of several people who quit smoking and had a lot of respiratory problems right away. It gets better, so hang in there. I think your lungs are adjusting to not being abused.

Have some neck issues, so I skipped tonight. Will be back tomorrow. Have to keep doing this so my "love handles" will be gone by Valentines.

Week 2 - day 6 done!

Emma - Thats terrible that the workout made you sicker! I hope that you feel better soon! Maybe you could just take it easy and start later when you kick this?

LooseShoes - I'm with you on the love handles thing. I saw some lingerie on sale so I bought it for Valentines, along with a bikini and I'm striving to look halfway decent in them by then. Its good motivation for me to work hard to tone my abs and sides, not to mention my rear end could use a lift.

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

my tapes arrived in the mail this weekend so Tape 1 Day 1 is Monday...I watched it while treadmilling today...think I can do at least some of it, lol. Yikes

Hey Emma, you feeling better? Good!

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better Emma! Hope you're able to join us soon!

Week two is done and today was the beginning of BIU. My legs hurt and I'm tired. I did something bad. I fell off of the atkin's wagon on Friday and didn't get back on till this morning. I weighed myself this morning on the digital scales and I was 122.5lbs. I did BIU and weighed myself and I was 121lbs so I think I'm just going to wait another day or two before I change my weightloss ticker. Agh, I'm so disappointed in myself! Atleast I'm sticking with the Slim in 6 program.

jersey - How was your first day of Slim in 6?

How is everyone else doing??

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Week 3, Day 2 done! I feel like I'm coming down with something so I figure I'm getting the induction flu again. I had to really push through BIU today. I almost didn't finish it because my oldest son got up this morning and appearantly he has some kind of eye infection. His eye is swollen and watery. The other one is red and watery. Then I figured there wasn't anything I could do until the pediatrician office opened anyways so I made myself finish BIU.

Emma - How'd it go??

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Hey, BPole - you're a S6 machine! And my idol *grin*. I did not start yesterday as planned and today is looking iffy already *sigh*. Gotta just do it....
Hope your DS isn't sick

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Thanks jersey! DS is fine. He was starting to get pink eye, but hes doing much better. Me, on the other hand, I thought I was getting induction flu, but I think I have the actual flu now. I was running a fever yesterday and still running one today. I didn't do my workout this morning, but I will either try to do it when my kids are in bed or I might just wait and do it on my 'off' day. I've been sleeping nonstop and I still feel really icky. Did you ever get your workout in?

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Would someone tell me what 'slim in 6' is? I presume it's some kind of exercise? And six what?

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Be careful BeanPole - we had that flu up here in November and ended up calling it the "Death Flu" - never been so sick in my entire life - lasted 4 weeks even with antibiotics from the dr. Its bad news. And pinkeye...sigh...with kids I guess you can't avoid that.

I've put off my Slim in 6 until after my dr.'s appt tomorrow....just doing my daily treadmill.

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

Hiya Chicklady - its a series of workouts (dvd) that get you 'slim' in '6' weeks - Beanpole is a dynamo at them - and the tapes are highly recommended by several atkinites. Me, all I've done so far is watch, lol.

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

I wouldn't say that I was THAT good at 'em. I just missed two workouts. Today I actually had to stop at the weight training part and take a little nap before continuing. That 'death flu' sounds terrible. Luckily, I'm on antibiotics and they seem to be working for me. There is a bright side to the whole flu ordeal - I lost down to 114lbs. My throat was so sore and swollen that I only got diet ginger ale and some sugar-free jello down in those few days. I think I would've rather weighed more and avoided the whole flu thing though. Did ya git r' done?



Chicklady - Theres even more info on it at beachbody.com if you're interested.

Re: Calling all Slim in 6ers!

So glad you're on the antibiotics right away - that was my mistake - waited too long cause I thought it was 'just a cold'...arghhh.

BWTG on doing the S6 while you're SICK!!! You ARE my hero! And me? nope, haven't started (am I afraid? lol) but I did get the ok for exercise from the dr. yesterday...so, no excuses, huh?
