@tarpguys Sorry for your family's loss. I've had three myself and it sucks.
@aim630 Sorry about your loss also. This has probably been a tough week for you.
I'm sitting at the doctor's with my daughter again today. We just found out that she has scoliosis. It's not a bad case, but it explains her back pain. Sounds like we start with physical therapy and hope that helps.
I only need 200 more minutes to max out. Feeling pretty proud about that. I'll try and sneak something in today between doctor's appointments, a basketball game, and dialysis.I got this!0 -
I'm so sorry to hear of the sad things going on with my team! I truly care for each and every one of you, and I don't want anyone to be hurting!
@lynnbaum you're doing okay! Sometimes life gets in the way, just keep your head straight and looking in front of you, not behind!!
Yes I did talk to @ShansGotGoals too! She apologized for the lack of communication, but she's killin it! Hopefully we'll get her in here soon.2 -
Hopefully my exciting day will bring some light around here. The scale finally budged! I'm about done with week one of my new workout plan and it's pushing me outside of my comfort zone and has me doing new and different things, which I'm excited about. It's called LG Sisters Get Strong, and after just 5 days I am sure feeling strong!! Change is important in the fitness game, you don't ever want your body getting used to the exercises it's doing, then you won't see change.
From the beginning of my 6 week look for love challenge through Tone It Up that went from 1/1/17 to today, I only lost 1.8 pounds, but I also lost 7 1/4 inches.
Progress not perfection, friends!!

In other good news - we're closing the gap to first place!! Team 1 is pretty much keeping the lead because of challenge points. We've all completed the challenges in the previous weeks and I have complete confidence we'll do it again this week.
I'm taking a concealed carry class this weekend, Saturday and Sunday 9-5 so I'll be limited on my check in time as I'm going to do my best to still be able to work out, meal prep, have family time, and just take care of real life stuff. If I seem to be MIA, I apologize! If you all could just keep up on the spreadsheet and maybe reach out to non-loggers sometime on Sunday to help me out I'd appreciate it! I'll be giving @carinamenina [co-captain] a heads up, too. But team work makes the dream work, Smashers!4 -

I got in a quick run this morning (it was so warm--57 degrees! at 6am! in February!) and I am planning on a walk for my lunch break. I promise to do the balance challenge tonight. Tomorrow is my long run. 11 miles. I'll also do some low impact exercise to recover after teh run, and I'm sure I'll get some active minutes in the afternoon/evening because we're watching my nieces, so including my two boys, we'll have five kids ages 1-9 to run after. It's gonna be fun.2

Hi all! I am back from my conference. We had a great time. This conference always gets me started working for the year. I have picked 3 really big projects that will force me to work. That means have to start getting organized and managing my time better. I figure mornings will be for e exercise, afternoons for work.
I will work on the balance videos this evening. I am on track for the calorie challenge tomorrow. I didn't get any cardio today because I needed to pick up the fog from the kennel.
The hotel we stayed in had a ton of stairs, so I think I did that challenge twice this week. I find actual stairs so much easier than the damn stair climber!
@carinamenina : I am sooo envious of your weather. It is freezing here! I would love a nice run outside. I hope it warms up here soon!

Hi everyone. So sorry i haven't been participating much this week. I twisted my ankle Monday evening and was told to keep off it for a few days then promptly came down with a bad bug on Tuesday. On the way to recovery today. I have completed the step challenge (one legged, hope I get extra credit for that!
). Unfortunately I did not get much exercise in the past few days hobbling around. I'm trying to make up as much as I can between today and Sunday. Updating the spreadsheet as we speak. 7 -
I just checked the spreadsheet and we are finally closing the gap on first. We are now 90 minutes down and we have been over 100 most of the week, so that's a big improvement
We also have 6 people in the top 25 ranks this week so far !! NICELY DONE SMASHERS !!! We have 2 more days to kick some but so lets not give up yet !!
LET'S KEEP ON SMASHING IT !!!

I guess today was my rest day.
I only did my yoga. I just couldn't motivate myself tonight to do anymore. Luckily, I killed it yesterday, so I should still get to 700 for the week. Today would have been a great day for a walk outside, but I was too busy running around doing other things. It was in the 80's, in Colorado, in February. Crazy. 1 -

Hey team! Just popping in for a quick second. I just logged my small amount of minutes from yesterday and my workout this morning. I woke up early enough to go for a jog and do the videos and some stretching. I'm only 19 minutes from the max!! I'm gonna try to squeeze in another walk on our lunch break again today, I really wanted to hit 700 minutes this week.
We've really closed the gap to 1st place!! Let's get some minutes in and get everyone to get the challenges done!!
Happy Sunday!!3 -

Hi team! I irritated my back the beginning of the week so I had some low numbers but I'm back on the move so next week should be a "700" week for me!3

@lpeltenburg It didn't stay nice for long. We woke up to snow on the ground yesterday morning
But I still got in my long run. Just waited for the ice to melt because I'm still kinda mad at ice for hurting my tooshie earlier this week :P
Holy cows, every single member of Team 1 did all three challenges. That is crazy dedication! Let's try to get as close as we can, Smashers. And if I can help anyone, please let me know! You all rock!
COME ON, SMASHERS!!!!!4 -

I did all I could this week, team. Maxed out my minutes and completed every challenge. The minutes were hard, but not so hard I can't do it again. Sometimes those last 30 minutes are me just walking in place while watching TV. I figure I'm still moving though. Looks like team 1 is going to beat us again this week.
I think we are giving them a pretty good run though. Can't wait to see where we are headed this week and what our new challenges are. I hope everyone has a great week! 1 -
MAAAAAAAN. Every week you guys! Team 1 beats us by a little bit. It kills me. I was walking around my town for hours to get minutes in, ugh. If the locals didn't think I was crazy before, they probably do now!
Well, we still pushed ourselves hard and held on to 2nd place. Team 5 was just 50 points behind us, so we should be very proud of our progress. I'm hoping to max out on my minutes again next week, and my fingers are crossed that they don't give us another calorie watch challenge
By the way Smashers! I will be going on spring break March 11th to March 18th. My boyfriend and I are planning a road trip to Utah from Denver, and we're going to hit up some hiking spots and camp. Getting in minutes shouldn't be an issue, but I'm not sure how logging and getting the challenges done will go.1 -
3 -
AAAHHH!!! 65 points ladies! They beat us by 65 points!!! WEEK 1 was 5 points and WEEK 2 was 10. They really crushed us this week. I don't know about you all but I want to see us in first place this week!! We are always so close! Lets get all those challenges done this week and try to max out as best we can!
This week and next week will be difficult for me as my kids are on a 2 week break from school. I just called the daycare and begged them to take the baby a few times this week even though he is meant to be off for 2 weeks. They are taking him in this afternoon and when I am there I will try to get him in another 2 times this week and 3 times next week. I promise you all another max out week for me.
Those of you who cant Max out due to work or other obligations just put in as much as you can. Give that extra little effort to get some extra minutes in and to get those challenges done. Every small workout counts even a 10 minute walk!! We need EVERYONE to beat out team 1! We can do it SMASHERS!!!

I am excited about the kickboxing this week. Off to work so I can go to a yoga class tonight3
-
I will try to do better this week. I don't know if I can get 100 minutes per day, but I'll try! I just found out next week I have to go on a work trip with someone I barely know to Detroit for 4 days. The weather is supposed to be warmer here, so I had looked forward to walking outside, but I guess I'll just have to wait. I'm hoping the hotel has a gym, and I'll be able to get some time in there. Still frustrated with the scale...no change over the past 2 weeks. My husband drops at least .5 lb per day. Of course then he wants to give me advice about what to eat. I've been sticking to about 1400-1500 per day, but I guess I need to cut down to 1200-1300. It's so hard though!2
