Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check in ~November 7
Hi Nicole! Don't see you posting this yet, and you said to jump in and just do it! Is your internet back on yet? Lovely day to y'all out there. I went on a hike through the bush today for an hour. There was a thick white fog so it was kind of fun. Didn't see one deer, (might of been because of the fog...you think?)…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 6
If I ever don't get a thread posted in the morning someone else please go ahead and get it going! My internet is out at home so I ran over here to the library... Anyway, last night I did my 15 minute warm up and cool down as well as the 20 minute high intensity Biggest Loser cardio workout. I had to modify all of the…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 5
Happy Monday! Yawn...:yawn: My little guy got up at 5:15ish instead of 6ish. Uugh. I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON! Glad I got that out of the way! Yesterday I walked for 2 hours at the zoo. It was about 80 degrees here in Denver and BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately, I'm paying with the pain in my ankle today but my boys had fun so…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 4
Happy Sunday! Did everyone remember to turn their clocks back? One extra hour to get our exercise in! Yippee!! So, yesterday I went to a horse show with the family. That was fun. But not much exercise involved - except walking from the car to the arena and back afterwards. So, since I suggested we do something fun and…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 3
It's the weekend! Can you try to UP your normal exercise for the next couple of days? Maybe throw in something that you don't normally do, or something less structured? You know, like playing football in the yard with the kids, going and walking around the zoo (that's my plan for tomorrow), dancing the night away... Give…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 2
Good morning everyone! Gosh, thanks so much for the words of encouragement on keeping this thread going. Some days I wondered how many people were getting frustrated seeing ANOTHER post from me for a check-in! I'm just guessing that a DAILY check in is a motivator for at least a few other people besides myself! Anyway,…

Halloween Chlg - Day 16 Oct 31 check in LAST DAY
This is it! How did everyone do??? I only had one day during the challenge where I did not get in at least 30 minutes of cardio. Not too bad! Last night I rode my bike for 45 minutes, did a 20 minute Biggest Loser Strength & Sculpt, & 15 minutes of warm up & cool down. I decided to have a cupcake with my son so had to up…

Halloween Chlg - Day 15: Oct 30 check in
Only 1 more day to go before our Halloween Challenge is complete! GREAT JOB to those that took on the challenge and did their best to fulfill it! Last night I got out the Biggest Loser Workout DVD that I checked out from the library again (I really need to just buy this one) and did the 5 minute warm-up, 25 minute…

Halloween Chlg - Day 14: Oct 29 (& weekend) check in
Hello everyone! How did you do this weekend with your cardio? Friday night (well, slightly after midnight) I went to the fitness center in my hotel and got in 30 minutes trying out the different pieces of equipment. The Precor & upright bike didn't work so well with my ankle. For some reason, even though I had to stay on…

Halloween Chlg - Day 11: Oct 26 check in
Okay. So the Rockies played a bit better last night which made my ride go much better - I got in 40 minutes last night and it wasn't as laborous as the night before. I'm going to a Scrapbook Retreat this weekend but there is an exercise room at the hotel I'm staying at so I will be sure to get in there. The exercise won't…

Halloween Chlg - Day 10: Oct 25 check in
I got in my 30 minutes on the bike during the game last night - but I'll have to say it was so much harder and seemed to go so much longer with the Rockies losing than when I've ridden and they are winning. Hmmm. Anyway, I got it done. The Rockies, however, did not. :( +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! Niccole

Halloween Chlg - Day 9: Oct 24 check in
Only 1 week left of this challenge! How's it going??? I rode my bike for 30 minutes last night while I watched The Biggest Loser and got a good workout. The sweat was pouring off of me! Didn't get a FitTV workout in as my son slept with me while my hubby is out of town (and the only tv in the house is in our room). I'll…

Halloween Chlg - Day 8: Oct 23 check in
Yesterday I got in a 25 minute Carribean Workout from FitTV. I erased it after I was done as the moves were much too complicated for me but I kept moving and felt like I got a good workout despite it not being exactly what they were doing. I've got a number of other FitTV programs on the Tivo so I'll try another one of…

Halloween Chlg - Day 7: Oct 22 check in
Wow! Day 7 of the challenge already! I haven't missed a day yet - challenges are good for me, I guess! Only 9 more days on this challenge - YOU can do it! :) Anyway, did a hard 30 minutes on my bike yesterday. My bike is in front of some glass double doors in my room so it was actually quite pretty to ride with the snow…

Halloween Chlg - Day 6: Oct 21 check in
The ONLY reason I got on my bike for 30 minutes last night was because I joined this challenge... We got home late and I was SO tired but I accepted the challenge and didn't want to not meet it. So, I guess it's a good thing we have this here! Might need to start a new challenge when this one is done to go until…

Halloween Chlg - Day 5: Oct 20 check in
Anyone out there today? I got in my 30 minutes on the bike yesterday - although it took me a few sessions as my 10 month old thought it was really fun to crawl over and unplug the bike. Gotta love 'em! :) +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! Niccole

Halloween Chlg - Day 4: Oct 19 check in
I did it! I FINALLY was able to do the Cardio Kickboxing dvd that I got from the library. I'd have to say it was fairly high impact - much more than I've been doing, that's for sure! And, with a few modifications for my ankle (I can't do jumping jacks, just did bouncing squats while moving my arms, and couldn't jump rope…

Halloween Chlg - Day 3: Oct 18 check in
Okay - I'll start! Today - 30 minutes on elliptical, 3 sets of sit ups, push ups and some arm/shoulder resistance training.

Halloween Challenge: Cardio 30 Min/Day - Day 2 Check In
Hope I'm not stepping on any toes but since a new check in post hasn't been started for today I thought I'd go ahead and do it... I did 35 min on my stationary recumbent bike last night. I'd planned to give the cardio kickboxing dvd that I got from the library a try but wanted to watch the biggest loser and I could ride…

Halloween Challenge: Cardio 30 Min/Day until 10/31 - Day 1 R
How did everyone do? I started the challenge and then didn't get in my walk! Bummer! That's why I need the site...more accountability... So the plan for tonight is to push my girls in the double stroller for 1.5 miles...pushing 50+ pounds should jump start something :) I hope everyone has a great fitness/eating day!!

Halloween Challenge: Cardio 30 Min/Day until 10/31
Anyone want to join? We can start the topic daily (with the same header) and we can log in our info from the day before... Surely 30 min per day for 2.5 weeks will get some of us jumpstarted!! I sure need it!! I know that having a challenge and needing to report in everyday will give us some accountability and motivation…
