Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

UPDATED MAY 2009

Hey Boys and Girls!!! Welcome to my thread-home!


I'd like to share my progress to date with you to show you just what is possible with BB programs and clean eating.

Since AUGUST 2007, I have done:

2 round of Slim in 6

2 round of P90X

2 round of P90X Plus

1 Rotation of Slim Series April 2008

I have also mixed HIP HOP ABS and TURBO JAM into my routines.

In March, I finished up my round of Chalean Extreme. I love that program!

I'm now back to P90X!

JOIN ME and the rest of the SLIM SPOTTERS on this most awesome journey!!!!


CHECK OUT MY MOST AWESOME BLOG!!! Getfitwithbarbie

Chozen1:

Congratulations, you courageous soul!! You are my first guest!! Would you like a sugar free drink???

I highly recommend doing Slim in 6 if you are trying to lose weight. P90X is definitely more hard core and not "specifically" geared for weight loss. You can always do P90X afterwards!!

Thanks again for stopping in! you can do this!! And you don't HAVE to weigh yourself. You can go by how you feel and look!

Here's the doorbell again!!! I'll be back.

[Barbara comes back.}

Barbara33: Hey, sorry about that Debbie. I was excited about your surprise visit that I burned the hors-d'oeuvres. Agh, they were a little high in calories anyway. Today is my day off, so I thought I could splurge a little. But, who needs that stuff anyway.

WHERE WERE WE?

Debbie: I was asking you what your favorite Slim in 6 DVD moments were.

Barbara: Oh, yes. I actually have a lot of favorite moments, believe it or not. A lot of people say your DVD gets to feel monotonous, but that was not my experience at all. Well, not after two weeks. The longer I did it, the more I liked it. After six weeks, I STILL wasn't able to do the leglifts without a few seconds rest here and there!

But, anyway, my favorite moments:

I love doing the horse stance and punching the imaginary boxing bag from under. I love your energy during that exercise and try to put myself in your shoes. Let me demonstrate.

[Barbara33 demonstrates.]

Debbie: Oh, wow, you really do look just like me!!

Barbara33: You really think so!! Thanks!! i'm really flattered.

Hey, Debbie, why don't we go into the other room for a bit. Let me show you the other parts of my thread. Come on. Maybe by the time we come back the other guests will have arrived.

Just stopping by to say hi! Taking the weekend to rest up for the start on Monday. But I'll tell you my thighs are feeling my preview from yesterday.

Barbara33's SLIM IN 6 DIET

I kept my daily caloric intake anywhere from 1300 to 1400 Calories. On my day off, my "REST DAY", I allowed myself to eat pretty much what I wanted. But, WORD OF CAUTION!!! : I ALWAYS discovered that stuffing my face always made me feel like crap the following day, so I rarely do it now. I now enjoy A TREAT or TWO on my days off.

ALSO, PLEASE NOTE: On days that I felt particularly tired or hungry, I ate a little more carbs. I would have a slice of bread for breakfast and a slice or two for lunch.

PRE WORKOUT
--WATER

BREAKFAST: around 7 or 8 am
--Protein (5 egg whites, cup low fat cottage cheese, protein shake)
-- 1/2 cup soy milk (vanilla, lowfat)
-- 1 fruit (1/2 banana, or 1 nectarine, or 1 plum)

SNACK: around 10 or 11 am
--protein powder and soy milk (1/2 glass)
--fruit if I was tired

or
--cottage cheese 1/2 cup or a cup.
--fruit

LUNCH: around 12 or 1pm
--protein (tofu, chicken, egg whites, fish)
--SALAD (spring mix, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc)
--AND, yes, AND vegetable (snow peas, string beans, eggplant)

SNACK: around 4 or 5 pm
--whey protein and soy milk with a fruit if I'm tired

OR
--protein (cottage cheese or phoney soy cheese) and a fruit.

DINNER: 7pm. NO later than that because I'm in bed by 10, sometimes 9.
--protein (chicken, fish, tofu, egg whites)
--salad
--AND, yes, AND vegetable that I cook.

WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY

MULTI VITAMIN EVERY DAY

NOW That I'm on P90X, I have added 500 or 600 more calories by 1. having a recovery drink (220 calories) and two slices of bread with breakfast (160 calories) and maybe an extra fruit (100) or a replacement bar (250 calories). It's actually hard to eat enough!

I NEVER, EVER, EVER go HUNGRY!!

HOWEVER, I find that it's particularly challenging to eat really well a week before my period.

Okay, it's 8pm, I'm gonna do some more writing on my article. Back to the 18th century!!

Good morning!

Barb, can you suggest a good protein shake? Every single one that I end up getting tastes like crud. I have yet to try beachbody's.
