It's Monday morning and I am starting this week with the right attitude (since I sure didn't have it yesterday!):
Let's do this Sharks!0 -
I think most of us have been involved in Sheri's challenges before but just in case here are a few idea's for EM's or Extra Movements:
I can't take the credit for the list .... Mailaig posted it on the Wolverine page ... and I saw it when I was going to smack chat :glasses:
Suggestions for EM (Extra Movements)
take the stairs instead of the lift
Park further away at the supermarket and then take the trolley all the way back to the shop
Walk to the coffee shop
Park further out of town and walk in
Walk and carry groceries (if you live close enough to a supermarket)
When unloading a car full of groceries, take one bag in at a time and go back and forth several times instead of one or two.
Same with putting away groceries, put one item away at a time and go back and forth
Laundry you can do the same. I'll clean out the laundry hamper upstairs, go downstairs put the laundry in the washing machine, go back up for the rest of the load, etc.
Instead of washing floors with a broom/mop, get on your hands and knees and do it by hand. (with a towel of course)
Hand rake leaves instead of using a leaf blower...
almost anything that requires you to take extra steps, carry an extra load, for example, would count as an extra movement.0 -
... and my encouragement for today ...
gif was too big .... so will just say it ....
YOU EARN YOUR BODY....:explode:
I want to get healthy
I want to look better :flowerforyou:
I will eat right
I will exercise:mad:
I WILL EARN MY BODY

Inspiration for today - this quote reminds me of "Just Do It"
Action breeds confidence and courage. Do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie0 -
Ooooh, Melissa, that was good...ACTION, ACTION, ACTION!!!
OK, Y"all...I've been running my mouth on other team's pages about how we're the greatest and they're gonna lose and all...
so we **have** to keep our number one spot this week!!!
The numbers look good so far...let's reign in our eating and show them BIG results!!! (I'm preaching to myself!)
I **LOVE** THE SHARKS!!!0 -

Monday:
workout: 120 minutes - 60 min hike; 60 min yoga...463 calories
HIIT: 10 minutes
Core reps: 150
Other Reps: 150 LB
EM: instead of sending my kids to our barn/shop to fetch stuff, I went myself (farther than the Kroger parking lot); 50 stairs
Stretch: 6 minutes0 -
I think I am about to die! Went for a run this morning (1hr and 3 mins) and then (once I had come home to get breakfast and kids and hubbie all went to school/work) I got in another hours workout. Probably shouldn't have included the aerobics part in that second one! I finished and have now got my 120 minutes done and dusted, but wondering how on earth I am going to get through all the translation work I have to do today without falling asleep :yawn:
OK, enough of this waffle! I will post the above details later (once I see if I have the energy to get some reps in! :laugh: ) Here is MONDAY:
Workout: 50 minutes of very brisk walking followed immediately by 10 minutes of steps (well, since we got ourselves so well trained last week, thought I'd make the workout up to 60 minutes to get max points :happy: )
Calories burned: 606
(Still need to record Tues. 120 mins, and also one other 30 minute. Need another 579 calories burned too - but think this morning might have taken care of that!)
Reps: Only 50 - all sit-ups
(Still need to do another 50 core reps and 200 others)
Stretching: did my 5 minutes.
(4 more days to go!)
HIIT: Did 8 minutes - only remembered just before going to bed - but did get them in (the High intensity parts were 1) jumping jacks 2) burpees and 3) mountain climbers)
EM: 1) Filled the filter with small jug again and squatting each time filled from bucket
2) Laundry day. Carried clean laundry into the kids rooms no more than 3 items at a time. That involved LOTS of walking!

We can only count a maximum of 2 EMs per day (but good for you for getting 3 in!) 2 each day noted on the chart.
Also I added (and re-added) your points and I make it 187, not 180, so I recorded that. :happy:

Had to share this. I know we've seen this before, but a reminder can't hurt.
Instead of telling yourself you can’t have something
tell yourself that it’s something you don’t do. When you self talk and tell yourself you can’t have something it has an effect of making you want it even more. But if you say that it is something you simply don’t do you are more likely to stick with it.
For example:
"I can’t have any soda"
vs
"I don’t drink soda"
It’s a subtle difference but it’s an important one.
Use it for a lot of different situations
"I don’t miss workouts"
"I don’t eat that"
"I don’t talk to myself like that"
ETA: I've been doing this all week with my smoking cessation (I'm not a smoker or I don't smoke vs. I can't smoke or I've given it up......really it works)0 -
My inspirational shout-out goes to ALL my fellow sharks for being such good role models! All who made your food diaries public are SUCH an inspiration to me! So many clean and healthy eaters who have such self-control with calorie counting! All while working out like sweaty beasts!!! Cheers to ALL sharks! Keep up the outstanding work! :drinker:0
