TOTALLY RANDOM!!
1. You're the size of an ant... what are you going to do? I would try my best not to be squished!
2. If you had a super power it would be...to fly!
3. How do you cross a lake? Or how would you like to? in a sailboat.
4. Describe your self in 3 words. Friendly, Quiet, and Dependable
5. Your most epic holiday was/will be..hosted Thanksgiving dinner for several families!
6. You wish you were at...a tropical island on a family vacation!
7. What’s your favourite colour (color)? It had to be asked. Purple
8. If you were anything other than human, you would be a..dolphin.
9. Knife. Fork. Spoon. Fork. Spork. Chopsticks. Invent a new utensil.. I can't think of anything....LOL!
10. Name 3 things you like. Be creative! Random walks on a beach, spontaneous drives to get dessert, and text messages from my hubby!0 -
muffin top work out done

love leg work outs! done

Monday work out done
Drinks - water and 1 black coffee
Tuesday - fail. Didn't do work out and had a glass of wine (I was out for dinner with work and didn't really think when offered wine and then got in too late to do the exercises)
1. You're the size of an ant... what are you going to do? be very afraid
2. If you had a super power it would be... erm....either fly or go invisible. I think. Though being stretchy like Mr Fantastic would be great fun
3. How do you cross a lake? Or how would you like to? How big is the lake? I'd probably swim if it's not too far. I'm going to do the Great North Swim in Lake Windermere next year (1 or 2 miles across the Lake) so hopefully I'll be able to do it.

5. Your most epic holiday was/will be.. my honeymoon!
6. You wish you were at... somewhere warm and sunny. It's raining here. again.
7. What’s your favourite colour (color)? It had to be asked. green. fields and trees make me smile
8. If you were anything other than human, you would be a.. cat. they definitely live the life of luxury
9. Knife. Fork. Spoon. Fork. Spork. Chopsticks. Invent a new utensil.. erm.... probably something that makes slicing sweet potatoes and turnips etc easier. I'm always terrified that I'm going to chop my hand off when cutting them. No idea what that utensil would be though
10. Name 3 things you like. Be creative! time with my girls. Can't beat a good girly chat and laughs, the Lake District - quite possibly my favourite place in the world and reading (i'm a bit addicted. I once read 12 books on a 14 day holiday...)0 -

checking in for tuesday didnt do exercise but did drinking challenge
did exercise for today , drinking challenge doing good, but the day is not over....LOL0 -
Wednesday : drinking challenge good and workout completed. Good thing this isn't sodium challenge week cos I went way over on that today. This means I am drinking lots of water to try and compensate. I hear that will offset the sodium some and I sure hope that is right.0

Hello everyone!
My Hubby is out of town, so I've been running around with the kiddies - school, football and soccer practices, homework, etc!
Tomorrow will be crazy too, so I don't know if I will be on here as much. My son has his first home game, the twins have soccer prac, and its Back to School nite at the elementary! Dinner, baths and homework will be squeezed in there somewhere! Lol!
Tuesday check in - beverage challenge complete. Exercises done also. I really liked that leg routine -feeling it still! I did the exercises at the field where the girls practice. Mellie says 'you're working out HERE?'. Too funny!
We'd check in - exercise and beverage challenges done!
Have a wonderful Thursday! I'm looking forward to seeing all the videos!0 -
wednesday check in completed exercise and didn't drink any calories!0

Thursday:
Drank no calories today.
I found my workout on youtube: beginner kettlebell. I have been doing the kettlebells off & on for a couple of years and it is a very good workout. I have to stay very mindful of my back and core and also careful not to flop it into my leg. Talk about a bruise...:sad:
I thought by looking at the beginner, maybe I could get some pointers on form and I did. The location is:

It is a warm-up, 3 sets, cool down. I only had time to do the warm up and set 1, which took me 18 minutes (my computer stops every couple of minutes to catch up :huh: ) I am saving this to my favorites for future use.0 -

Hello again!
Here's my video link -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpoDlaDubUI&feature=related
I liked this one because it does not require any equipment - just you!!
:flowerforyou: Ladies, I hate to have to keep bugging you, here or by private message, but I REALLY need you to check in daily. If you cannot check in daily (which happens, we all do have lives outside of MFP), please retroactively check in. Just a recap if possible - for example:
Monday - exercise challenge and beverage challenge done
Tuesday - exercise and beverage challenges done/not done.
That's all I need. This is a TEAM challenge, so when you do not check in, or report your progress, the team loses points.
:bigsmile: We are coming up on the end of the week, and the end of the month is right after that! Lets finish this strong!:bigsmile:0 -
this is the exercise I did for yesterday.....really easy but effective and quick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzC9Eovj2xE&feature=related
I didnt drink any calories either and did my exercise bike for 40 mins and did a 60 min walk it was a good day....lets just hope the scale cooperates.....
I got a walk in already this morning will try to get in the exercises later....have a healthy active day0 -
Friday: Did not drink any calories. Also did not get to the ab workout tonight. We went to see our granddaughter and didn't get home until after 10 tonight. I will do them tomorrow.0

Hubby is home! So now I can get my cardio going again...and sleep thru the night! Lol! When he's gone I don't like to leave the girls aloneto go on the treadmill. And I feel like I don't sleep well cuz I'm always worried I won't hear my babies! So, now my world is as it should be! :laugh:
