The New FIRM Thread

[fofinia]

Hi,

Thurs: 40 min ellipt. Fri: Jiggle Free Buns and almost 1/2 of Jiggle free Arms.

Sun, I ran 3 miles. My 5 yr old is just learning how to ride a bike with training wheels so I ran next to her. She is a great running partner. I can tell her to speed up or slow down. Dh was walking about 1/2 mile behind us and other DD fell asleep in the carriage. Not too bad!

Hi everyone. I was a big time slacker last week ... just a lot of "life" stuff to deal with. Saturday I did Ultimate Fat Burning and yesterday I was sore, so I had a rest day.

The GOOD news to share is that I have had a couple of clothing items hanging around in my closet for a while now that I just COULDN'T stuff myself into ... yesterday I remembered one of them while trying to figure out what to wear to a bridal shower. I put it on AND IT FIT!! This morning, I grabbed a pair of jeans AND THEY FIT TOO. I actually had a co-worker say to me this morning ... "Hey, you've lost a TON of weight haven't you?" I don't know that the numbers on the scale are changing much (we're doing some work on our bathroom, so the scale has been displaced) but my clothes are certainly fitting different

Congrats Poohssmum!! That is great.

2 days from now I weigh and measure for the month. I also updated my progress.

Great news Poohsmum! Congrats!

I saw the new infomercial yesterday for the first time. I find it so interesting to see which instructors carry on to the next program. I recognized- Allie, Allison and Annie(I think it was her. Except she highlighted her hair and is mostly blond). I like Pam. Too bad she didn't go forward. I wonder if she is considered too old?

As for me this week: Just Total Express Body Shaping yesterday. Aiming for 1 hr on elliptical today!

Pam actually left the FIRM and works for her own Yoga Studio now along with Libby.

Nancy started her own fitness studio and many of the FIRM instructors went with her like Dale, Stephanie, Christa and so on.

Jen left just after the second set and works at a studio in Charleston, SC called V. She works with one of the original FIRM instructors from volume 1 Susan Harris.

Updating my rotation.

On a good note when I did my measurements about 5 days ago I am down 2 lbs and 2 inches. I have about 8-9 more inches I want to lose and about 15 more lbs.

I noticed I only missed 5 workouts which isn't too bad but they were all towards the end of the month. It seems as if after I had that issue with my basement it all fell apart. Well it certainly is interesting to see. But I am increasing endurance because I am up to 2 miles in jogging. Granted I only do an 11 minute mile but I have never been a runner before so I am happy with that for now.

Wow Cobbler I didn't know you knew so much. Thanks for all the info. I'm always curious.

Congratulations on your pounds and inches lost!!And I think an 11 minute mile is great. I'm averaging an 11:50- 12:20 mile! Keep it up!

I used to belong to the FIRM site but it got to pricey. I even took a couple of trips down to the FIRM studio in Columbia.
