biggest loser week 3 challenge

kizzym

today i will be starting my regular walking routine...meaning i haven't been on my regular walking route for quite awhile...PLUS it's a cheat day for me...so the weekends are cheat days...my walking routine is so close to starbucks and i haven't had starbucks since they had that special going on for the week or weekend of half price frapps...i sorta kinda wish there were coupons or a punch card for those...lol...buy so many and get one free after the punch card is filled...lol...i'll be smart and still check out the calorie intake of course by going online and see if they have a nutrition value and mark that down...even though its the weekend i'm still measuring my food and checking out the calorie intake

Thank you and sorry let's make it something different that will be good for all of us what do you suggest?

sundinsgurl

After hurting my knee at soccer last night I would also prefer to pass on squats for this week...hmmmm

Jumping Jacks? or do we want something that is strength training?

raindancer

NewImprovedCnbethea1

OK my apologies guys squats is definitely out what's a good challenge for this week?

tigermom79

No problem.....just seems a lot of us have bad knees,,,,

How about we do 30 minutes "extra" of outdoor activity.....playing (hard) with your kids, gardening, running, walking! Something other than your normal routine, but outside to get you breathing the fresh air!!! Just a suggestion!

Ann

NewImprovedCnbethea1

Sounds good Tigermom79 I will get an hr in tomm only because I just got this message and it's late here!! That way I will be caught up. Are we keeping the rest of the things going into this week?

Hey! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm posting a little late & didn't see what the challenge was until now, but I will also do an hour tomorrow. I think this weeks challenge is a really good idea! I love being outside anyways. lol I'm down 3.5 lbs this week which I'm really happy about! Tomorrow is my birthday and of course everyone wants to go out to eat and celebrate with drinks and birthday cake! lol So it should be a challenge, but I'm determined to stick to my calories for the day, and I already told everyone no birthday cake this year- we're having angel food cake & strawberries instead! And I'll just have one or two drinks and if we go out to eat I'll get something healthy. I'll let you guys know how I do tomorrow! Good job everyone on your weight loss!!

Are we continuing with last weeks challenges??

Congrats on your weight lost that is awesome!! Sounds like you have a great bunch of friends and family supporting your efforts by having the Angel food cake instead of birthday cake!! Hope you have a wonderful birthday and I like the fact you planned ahead hope all goes well!!

I'll see what I can manage to do today... my stupid knee is really sore (hurt it at soccer). Not fun at all.. No exercise means I earn no extra calories to eat. I'm also battling a cold so not feeling so hot in that department either.

Weighed in and lost 2.9 lbs since last week. I might go back to weighing in weekly instead of monthly.

Tuesday Grass cutting 1hr15min 25 pushups and lunges 50 squats 8 cups H2O Ate out!!!:sad: out of control on this day

Wow I don't know why I self sabotage myself I have a great week and weigh then go and blow it are you serious whew I failed at my plan of keeping the rest of the week clean let me try this one more time Wed-Sun will be good that's a promise to myself I deserve better than this!! This was why I was scared to weigh and look because I get happy and think I am suppose to celebrate with food!!

I am going to continue to weigh each week and come up with ways to combat this issue!!

sundinsgurl

I havent seen a new thread yet..

Hoping I can do some sort of exercise tomorrow, it would really be nice!!! Ive stuck to exercising 4-6 times a week for over 2 months and now with this sore knee its been 2 days in a row without it. I was really enjoying this challenge and I'd love to get back at it

tigermom79

Good morning Ladies!!!! Wow what a beautiful morning here in Colorado! Suppose to be 90's the rest of the week! PHEW!!!!

I was able to get my challenge in yesterday. It was 9:00 at night, but got my outdoor walk in!!! Have a busy day at work, so I guess I better get after it!

Hope all have a great day!

Ok, so the past couple of days I have been walking more. Monday I ended up walking a little over 4 miles. Yesterday was about 2 miles. Hopefully I can get some more in today. Water is doing good. Food was good until late night snacking happened :mad: I have totally slacked on the other challenges: pushups, etc. Grrrr I will add them back in soon.

Good morning team! Well....didn't get any exercise yesterday. Had a baton twirling accident the night before at lessons. I was showing a student a new trick and caught the baton with my face. Have quite the swelling and bruising going on! Didn't feel up to much of anything last night. It is still getting worse as time goes by. The bruising I don't mind but it HURTS!!!!!

No matter, I am getting to Curves tonight and getting back in the swing with the other stuff!

Have a great day!

Ann

raindancer

Ann: :flowerforyou: Ouch!! I hope your doing better now. Bruises on the face take forever to fade away.

sundinsgurl

I think we'll just wait till Monday.. I also need to get back on track to this challenge.

I played tennis today for an hour, and the knee held up very nicely!! :):) Going to go to my push ups, crunches and lunges for today right now!! I felt great when I was doing push ups almost everyday - they really do help tone all over.

raindancer

sundinsgurl: Glad your knee is doing better

Hey Ladies!

This has been a great week! I've been walking a mile each day, so I feel amazing! I ate out today BLAH. But on the upside I've been eating fruit like crazy!!
Does anyone have any good recipes for squash? The only way I've ever made it was fried lol...and we have a ton in the garden,
The 30 mins a day has been a breeze I think it's my favorite challenge so far!

tigermom79

Hey ladies.....Well the face is still really sore....especially when i rub it because I forgot it was sore!!!! DUH!!!! Anyway, I made it to curves, and unfortunately I have been working on my son's play costume all night so haven't gone for my walk. I know I need to, and now I'm hooked on watching Game 7.....darn it!!!! May have to break away anyway and go for a little walk. It is gorgeous outside.

Have a great evening...Oh..my eating...not bad, but not the best. I keep forgetting to record stuff, so I need to get back on that!
