[lucindamartinez]

So how is everythone this evening?  

[lucindamartinez]

I am doing quite well this evening Lucinda!  lol

[gokuangel]

I just got home from some errands been running all day long lol!! Almost forgot about live chat again!!  How was your day?

[lucindamartinez]

Ah....great to see you goku!  I had a good day.  I was beginning to worry about how many personalities I would need to keep up with the conversation.  LOL

[lucindamartinez]

Are you still cooking on that Foreman Grill Ms. Goku?  Have you discovered any new and exciting recipes using it lately?

[gokuangel]

Lol oh yeah still cooking on it!! No stove yet! No new recipes i just seem to stick to my chicken and rice!! it's sooo good!!! I'm not a good cook though either! Wish i could cook like my MIL man she makes good food lol!!

[lucindamartinez]

Chicken is my favorite on the Foreman.  I like to use chicken breasts that I have pounded a bit flat if they are thick and experiment with different spices.  I've tried other things, but they just aren't the same.  ; )  

[lucindamartinez]

I like to think that I can cook well....but my 16 year old son has taken some culinary classes, so I always get the "Well, I would have added this,".....or "I would have done that".....I say he needs to take a turn in the kitchen with his skills.  hehehe

[gokuangel]

i still need to try that lol! I'm just too lazy i like throwing the strips on there so i dont have to cut it and then i can just put it on top of my rice add some hot sauce and yummy very good lol!!

[lucindamartinez]

That sounds great!  A little veggie and you are good to roll, eh?  How's the exercise been going for you honey?  I haven't made it to the gym this week....things have been just crazy, but I'm gonna try really hard to get there for a bit tomorrow.  

[gokuangel]

LOL how funny!! You guys should have a cook off make a couple dishes make the family taste it and see which one they pick!

[lucindamartinez]

No doubt!  He's too cute....he does the pretty little garnish and everything.....takes forever!  Once he made a veggie tray and cut all of the little radishes into roses.  I was scared to death that he was going to cut his fingers.  His aunties were very impressed.  ; )  His favorite thing to make is chicken parmesean....gotta work with him to make it a little bit more heart healthy though.

[gokuangel]

OK now that sounds good lol!! UGGGHH exercise not so good i did do 40 mins on my Shred yesterday today i was gonna try these other exercises i found online there are TONS its a whole exercising channel so i wanted to chk it out buti had to go these errands done today so i just home and havent done nothing yet!! I was gonna get the biggest loser DVD's but my step mom was gonna order them from netflix so i could try them first see what i like and wanna buy but every time i ask she says they are not in yet and im busted so i really cant afford a new DVD right now but maybe that site i found will help me some!!

[lucindamartinez]

Oh yeah....there are all sorts of sites online where you can see free workouts.  I love those!  That way when I can't get to the gym I can do one of those.  I especially like the boot camp workouts, seems like they do the most in the shortest amount of time.  

[lucindamartinez]

I'm not sure about your local library, but they often have quite a few titles that you can give a try before spending that money as well.  Not sure if they would have the most recent Biggest Loser or not, but you just never know.

This is the one i found it looks really good but i dont know ALL the trainers names and whos good!! I like the site but my DH bothers me when im working out so i would rather work out in the living room ALONE BY MYSELF!! I dont peeps harping on me!!
Thats so crazy how you son made veggies into roses!! WOW! he must be talented!!

[heatherlynn22]

has anyone tried using the wii fit? the dh and i just got ours and so far....it's tons of fun and i can actually really feel the burn!!! now...if i can work on my junk food habit.....lol

[lucindamartinez]

my veggie rose son also used to do the poking fun thing when I would work out to videos....until I told him that if he laughed anymore he would have to do them too.  He's home schooled, so I told him that would be his PE....no more laughing.  ; )  

[lucindamartinez]

Hi Heatherlynn!  I believe that goku has a Wii fit, don't you Goku?

[lucindamartinez]

I understand that they have a lot of great exercises on it.  I don't have one myself though.  

[heatherlynn22]

lol lucinda i used to make fun of my mom when she did her jane fonda tapes when i was little. she DID make me do them with her after a while...i didn't laugh anymore. lol

[gokuangel]

Speaking of WII Fit i need to go run lol!!  I love my wii fit it helped me so much in the beginning and getting started! You will definetly need to incorporate other exercises as well but its great to get you going! I lost my first 5 lbs fast with it!!
Thats very good Lucinda lol!! You sound like Twehner she told her kids stop saying your bored or start crunching lol!!

[lucindamartinez]

LOL!  That's funny!  Oh my....I remember the Jane Fonda days!  Thank heavens we don't have to try to wear those outfits to workout in any more.  ; )  

[heatherlynn22]

what other exercises do you do? before i was pregnant i ran on the tredmill every night. now...not so much. it's so hard to do much of anything with 6 month old twins.
