Paula!!! I found them in the car too!! bwahahahaha! I didn't know that!! That is how people get into trouble.
Shelley, DDD had fun her first day as VP. She got to design two T-shirts. I'll tell you later.
Must go now...must get out in the dark and scurry around like a couple of ants.

Not what you have printed above Paula, but if you follow the link you posted it is. But I can't read it all. And would love a copy of it that I could print off and put on my wall.
I know there was one once upon a time.

Shelley!!!!! This is the workout where we first met! Remember when everybody went to Facebook but you and me? So funny! When I opened all the discussions...there we were! Man we did a lot back then...shakin' my head...not any more for me!! bwahahaha!
Chris0 -
Yes it is. Chris I was taking a trip back in time last week and reading some of our posts. We were beasts! So much fun. Read through some of it. I wonder if it is still on Facebook? I might be able to look for it. Of course that means I would first have to be on Facebook. Have to ask hubby his password. It was hailing here, lots. Court even stopped because no one could hear anything. Love it! But I bet those on Facebook did not last as long as we two did!

Okay, we can do this but those of us in the 1000 X Zero Burpees Club need an alternative exercise. Any ideas, club members?
Shelley, are you going to make it pretty then post it for us? We can do this for August...just increase it every 10 days...??
Chris0 -
Paula, with the exception of the burpees...can you do these exercises? If not, tell me what you want to see posted.

I will have to look into it. Thanks Paula

We could start a new post for August...make it fresh and clean and pretty.
Walking 5.50 miles yesterday then an hour w/DDD and our trainer doing some killer yoga. My eating was bad, bad yesterday. I haven't done that in a while. Head on straight today. I'll shop instead of eat today...good plan!
Chris0 -
What are you shopping for Chris. And I like the "fresh and clean" idea.
I am starting a challenge very similar to this one tomorrow with a co-worker. We are coming in early to do it. The jury rooms are not on camera, so that is where we are meeting.
Shell0 -
I am starting a "don't count calories" challenge tomorrow. Want to learn to eat normally. Only 10-15 pounds from goal. Need to practice.
Paula1 -
Paula I do not count religiously. But I do like to know how many calories are in something before I mindlessly stick it in my mouth! Nope nope nope. And since I usually eat the same things most days it works for me.
Shelley0 -
I'm like Shelley and eat the same thing almost every day, so I know the count.
I'm going to do the above challenge, a plank challenge to get to 2 minutes and another challenge to see if I can get to 1 pull up without help from my rubber bands....gotta go now and see what I can do.
Chris
Took 20 mins to do the above and below...but no side planks and used 8 pound weights.
Goals by the end of Aug:
20 push-ups
2 min planks (PoH)
40 squats
30 assisted pull ups
1 unassisted pull-up
Aug. 1st workout
15 knee push-ups
55 sec plank (PoH)
30 wall squats using a large exercise ball btn the wall and my back (3X10 squats)
I can do 30 assisted pull ups...3X10 w/rubber bands.
