Hi all...
I chose to do the New York, New York challenge. I liked the stretch from the rockets and of course a little extra running is always in favor.

Just so you know, you only have to do one or the other. I was confused and though you had your do both, but it has been clarified on the Q&A thread. I'm doing both for mine though because I'd already got it in my head I was but will count it as a success whenever I finish the 1st piece.1 -
Hey, someone accidentally entered 55 for today under my name in the spreadsheet. Just wondering if its someone here.0

So, I was making healthy choices this morning, then about 10 minutes before we were to head to the gym, I just got a huge project dumped on me that I have until next Wednesday to get done on top of everything else...so I caved. I talked our gym group into going out for Mexican and instead of getting my healthy option there is got the bad stuff. And now since I'm going to be over no matter what, I've already started hitting the chocolate...and I'm stuffed!!! How crazy is that?! Hate how the mind works sometimes.0

I decided to repeat the New York challenges because those things were most accessible to me this morning. The challenges were Turkey Trot and rockette training. It is super cold here and a walk/jog on the home treadmill was great and tis the season to be a Rockette!1

Yesterday was a bust. Got 7 minutes into my exercise when my daughter asked me to come with her to a school event. I went thinking I was only going to spend an hour or so. Ended up spending all day, on my feet no less. By the time I got home I was bushed and needed sleep sp badly. But it wasn't to be. The baby had colic/tummy ache and so I didn't get to bed till 12:50 a.m.
Missed my gym session this morning but I'm going to try to get there now.1 -
I chose to do the Drum to a Viking beat, I did this one because i thought it was one of the more fun challanges1

Hey All, Checking in again & updated the spreadsheet, this morning was crazy busy with the dog show. But I was thrilled, Crook won his class, won the winners of males class (beating out an older more experienced dog) and then went on to beat all the winners of all the classes (both male & female) of the same breed. Not to shabby for only his second show. Tomorrow we are back again for another round, hopefully he does just as good.
Back to the challenge, I completed all my sumo squats today after getting home and resting a bit, I just need to do one more round of the abs. Almost done!!!
@ibenson2006 he can be pretty mischievous for sure, but he is actually a really good boy, has not destroyed anything really, just his toys and one of his beds. He just requires a lot of exercise to keep him moderately calm. The breed is known for being high energy.1 -
I chose Sumo Squats because it was something new that I learned during the challenge, I feel like I'm getting real results from them, it's easy to just do a few squats here and there throughout the day, and I feel like a beast while doing them! Just finished the last of them only moments ago.

Lifestyle Changes
1 - Taking the stairs instead of elevator whenever possible. Making this a part of my daily routine at work has been wonderful. It is not a lot because we are only on the second floor, but I think it is a huge move for me because I never thought I would start doing that.
2 - Parking further away at work and the grocery store. I would like to start doing this at more places, but these are the only two that have made it to a habit so far.
3 - Drinking 1/2 my weight in water. I can tell that I feel a little worse on days after I have slacked on getting in my water.
4 - Continuing my morning workouts. It is hard to get up at 4:30 in the morning, but I think I have been able to make this a habit and it helps take the pressure off of having to make it to the gym at lunch.
5 - On the opposite side of that, I want to refocus on having a 3 day minimum for going to the gym at work. It is so easy to come up with excuses to skip and when we do, it not only affects me, but my gym buddy who got me going down this path. So for her sake, I would like to make that more habit.
6 - Participate in ONE 30 day strength challenge each month. This gives me the direction for what to do strength wise versus trying to decide what to do at 5 in the morning. However, I have found that trying to do more than one is just too demanding to fit in with the other things I would like to do.
7 - Continue logging on a daily basis, to the best of my ability, good or bad. I want to continue to focus on this when I reach maintenance mode for at least 6 months or so to ensure that I have this down and hopefully never fall back into regaining more than 5-10 pounds.
8 - Continue to try to add in a little more running. I didn't realize that I would actually like it, but it's fun. (Weird to say that...for me at least!! LOL). Considering doing a 7K in April.
9 - My want to change is to start eating more fruits and vegetables. This is something that I struggle with. When talking to a coworker about this, she came up with the suggestion that when I switch my calorie intake whenever I make it to maintenance mode that I continue to eat like I do but the added calories that I am allowed daily should be from fruits and veggies. So, that is my plan. Just got to make it to maintenance mode first!! LOL3 -
Just looking at the spreadsheet and we are in 3rd and still have a lot of blanks. Let's see what we can do today and tomorrow. I made the mistake of not treating this like a work day so I didn't get a workout done before I came into work. I am hoping I will have the motivation to do one when I get home. Have a great Saturday.
Remember if you need help logging anything, please just ask. It's super easy for me...unless it's past my bedtime on Sunday!! Lol3 -
Ok so I have done the Ab videos! I absolutely love the 2nd one!! I will add this to my regular fitness program and share it with the instructors at my gym!! I sad this is over tomorrow!!3
-
I didnt run stairs today as I didn't have time to travel to them, so I decided sumo squats instead! I love squats!!2
-
I am super sad this is almost over. It's almost like when I am watching the finale of survivor. I can't wait till the next one starts!! We have arrived in Vancouver, anything logged now is just bonus. We are still in 3rd, but team 4 is nipping at our heals. We still have lots of blanks so that could change. Fingers crossed. I didn't get home until after 4:30 but did manage to go down and get in 17 minutes. Hope to get a workout in tomorrow morning!!2
-
I'm running again tomorrow providing we don't get dumped on, but then I'll be shovelling. So I'll get list of activity in tomorrow!!! It's been a fairly good week for me!!!2

265 bonus points still up for grabs on the spreadsheet. We are currently dead tied with team 4 for this week's 3rd place. For the entire challenge we are 225 points behind team 4. Team 4 currently has 270 bonus points up for grabs.
Let's get in what we can and hope for the best.
I struggled big time to get up this morning and get minutes in and it didn't help when my husband was giving me crap about working out 7 days a week. I told him it's the last day of the challenge and I wanted to at least get in 30 minutes. I'm glad I did it. Made me feel a lot better if I want to be mostly lazy the rest of the day!

It was fun working with you all on this challenge! I hope to get in on the next one, too. I think I've done all I can for the week, so I'll just sit back and watch what happens. 3

Completed challenge 2, 140 sumo squats. I wasn't on the team when this challenge was first issued, but it sounded like a good one for a hotel room all week ( quiet and you don't have to lay on the floor).
