Thanks for updating the chart so regularly this week Mary :flowerforyou: Feel like I haven't been pulling my weight over the past few days! Sorry! Been busy helping my friend pack up her house, so I'm away from my computer more than usual.
I have just posted the following on the main page, about my stretching progress. Thought I'd copy it here too:
I have to admit ... I absolutely HATED the stretching parts of the challenge in the first few weeks, but although not exactly loving it yet, I don't mind it now! (Is that progress? laugh ) Maybe I am liking it more now that I DO see some results happy - I can now straddle my legs wider and although I am not yet at getting myself down to knee height when reaching forward (my goal) I am certainly getting closer. My head is almost down to knee height when I stretch over my legs, but stretching forwards is harder somehow (must be that stomach getting in the way laugh ) Seeing real progress though - and even find myself going OVER the number of required minutes of stretching sometimes noway - would NEVER have done that at the beginning!blushing
Then here are my stats for MONDAY (at least I can help by entering those on the chart for you Mary!)
WORKOUT: 35 minutes circuit training and 25 minutes aerobics = total 60 minutes
Calories burned: 583
(Still need 3 more days workouts and another 808 calories burned)
REPS: Did 50 core reps (sit-ups) and 200 cardio reps (100 jumping jacks, 50 high knees and 50 butt kicks)
(Still need to do 50 core reps, 150 upper body and 150 lower body)
STRETCHING: Did my 7 minutes
(Still need to do days)
HIIT: Did 8 minutes
(Still need to do 3 days)

I think I'm going to start doing REP IT UP WEDNESDAY again. As I did before, I'll still do my reps on the other days, but I'll push that little bit harder on Wednesdays. Anyone care to join me???
I will join you for Rep it up Wednesday! Will make myself push really hard and get not only the rest of my weekly reps in, but also lots of extra ... and now I have said it, I need to DO IT

Some motivation for us all to keep on pushing ourselves:
We CAN do this Sharks! Even if your calorie burn goal is a bit higher than usual, even if there is all sorts of "stuff" going on in your "normal" life right now ... whatever the situation, just push on through as best you can. We don't need to be perfect ... we just need to try our best :bigsmile:
I LOVE this team!0 -
Ali - don't be daft, you do more than your fair share ... we all pop in and out as we can :glasses:
And I so like this quote " If it does not challenge us it won't change us" ... and I couldn't say it better "we don't need to be perfect ... we just have to try our best " - you are so on my wave length :bigsmile:
And my encouragement is:
Just don't stop ... keep going :flowerforyou:

DEVLe ... we will not be tempted because we are the SHARKS and we are rocking this challenge.
This is my post on stretching from the main page.
My aim was to be able to bend over and touch my toes while standing without bending my knees! I have never been able to to it from right back when I was a little girl :mad:
I have enjoyed the stretching aspect of the challenge and find that my flexibility is improving. I can now stand with my feet slightly apart and touch my toes ... much better than I have ever done .... and I am working on being able to do it with my feet together ... and I think I will make it :drinker:
.... AND SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE.0 -
I ate too much supper to even be tempted by those desserts...I could fathom those apple dumplings appealing to me, though!
Tuesday:
workout: 60 minutes circuit training...431 calories
HIIT: 6 minutes
Stretch: 7 minutes
Reps: 200 (50 each - core, cardio, UB, LB)

Wolverine is a mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, and a healing factor that allows him to recover from virtually any wound, disease, or toxin at an accelerated rate. The healing factor also slows down his aging process, enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. His powerful healing factor enabled him to survive having the near-indestructible metal alloy adamantium bonded to his skeleton. He is most often depicted as a member of the X-Men....

@ mangobadango - Hi! Just wanted to check - did you really do 5 minutes of stretching on Monday, or is that a copy and paste error from last week. I know you saw that this week the challenge is 7 minutes, since you did that on Sunday. It has been entered on the chart as 5 minutes, but if it should be 7 just let us know and we'll change it.0 -
@ Mary - glad you got those Wolverines worried :laugh: Reminds me that I still need to go and do a bit of smack talking too!

... And my encouragement for today ...
Some people quit because they have so far to go forgetting how far they have already come ...:frown:
Look back and see how you have changed, if the weight loss has not been as much as you wanted .... get out the measuring tape ... how many inches have you lost.
:bigsmile: See how much fitter you are ... can you walk further ... can you run further ... can you hold a plank for longer?
:smokin: Lift the weight you lost ... incorporate it into your workouts ... on your back in a bag or with dumb bells or bags of sugar ... you will soon take pride in where you are at and push for where you want to be.:drinker: 0 -
