"Laziness fuels more laziness; activity fuels more activity."
Well, at least up to the point when you're completely give out, huh?! lol0 -
Good Morning Sharks,
Here are my week 6 points
#1 Water: 35/35 pts
#2 Sodium: /35 pts (I don't know as I haven't been logging lately )
#3 Workout: 40/60 pts(yes, got in my 60 minutes on 6 days again happy )
#4 Bad Habit: 25/25 pts (7/7 days)
#5 Good Habit: 25/25 pts (3/3 days)
Total: 125
To answer Pam's question, I used to log almost everything. I fell of off the wagon when it comes to that. I think I was just trying to see what it was like not to log (and I was being lazy).0 -
Hey Sharks!
I'm trying to make it from Rotterdam to Amsterdam, which is 50 miles. That's aiming VERY high with my reduced activity level due to broken toes. We will see!

workout miles: 0
core reps: 100
stretch time: 10 minutes
fruit/veggie servings: 6
MONDAY:

workout miles: 12 (swimming fast laps 75 min. + stationary bike 30 min. + circuit training 15 minutes)
core reps: 100

Let's kick some Tiger, Wolverine and Dolphin tail this week!!!0 -
Ali - your mile calculations are spot on. :flowerforyou:
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE0 -
My encouragement today so that we all reach our goals.
#1 Picture it #2 Plan ahead - you are used to planning your meals, but plan your wardrobe too. If you plan on having that 32” waist, (or smaller), buy a pair of pants with that lovely waist size and hang them so you can see them and work towards fitting in them. #3 Keep a log - we are all doing this but, keep at it log every morsel and every exercise, accountability is so important #4 Measure portions #5 Don’t allow junk in the house #6 Get a training buddy - make an appointment with someone for a walk or a training session, ensures that you won’t pull out. #7 Set a goal - long term and short term milestones are important #8Reward yourself - have a manicure or other treat when you reach a milestone.
Step by step and planned mouthful by mouthful, we will get there :bigsmile:0 -
Monday:
workout miles: 8 (50 min. circuit training, 20 min. HIIT)
actual miles: 2 (walk)
calories: 586 :noway:
core reps: 100
sit-ups: 40
fr/veg: 3 (raspberries, salad, broccoli)
stretch: 10 minutes
I entered my info on the chart...is it correct that the only place for 'actual miles' is at the beginning? That's what it looked like, so I changed my number there...let me know if I did that wrong!
OK, I'm going on a date tomorrow...and I cannot fathom a world in which I do not get an eggnog latte from Starbuck's! I've looked it up, and I almost passed out - 370 calories for a little one! :sick: But, we live an hour-and-a-half from a Starbuck's, so it's not like I can do this every day! (Thank heavens!) We also live in a 'dry' county, so I can't get a Long Island Iced Tea every day either...just sayin'! (Yes, this is pre-meditated!!!) So for tomorrow evening's entertainment, just drop by my food diary! :laugh:0 -
Mary, I love your encouragement/plan of action! Wisdom!
MONDAY
WORKOUT 300 minutes (15 miles, 1576 cals) on the fence (carrying stringers & pickets, bending, lifting, holding things to be nailed in, pushing things into place, digging out high ground, stringing line, etc. etc. etc. and then putting all sawhorses, power tools, and such away. 5 hours non stop. walking was a good bit of the time, but never a steady 20 minutes at a particular pace, so just log it as w/o miles. Also, I feel like 15 miles is over the top, so I don't mind if it is cut down??
REPS 0
SIT-UPS 0
FLEXING 10 minutes (Yes, Ali, 10 LOOOOONG minutes!:grumble: )
FRUIT/VEGGIES 2 servings stewed tomatoes, 1 large salad with carrots and tomatoes (2 servings), 1/2c pumpkin (5 servings total)

Hi Pam, no you have it right, the walk/run miles do not go into the total miles so once you have your 3 minimum walk/run miles logged the rest can go into your workout miles. :bigsmile:0 -
Mary, I love your encouragement/plan of action! Wisdom!
MONDAY
Also, I feel like 15 miles is over the top, so I don't mind if it is cut down??
Donna you have earned your 15 miles with that calorie burn :drinker:

"The question isn't *CAN YOU?* ...it's *WILL YOU?*"
YES, WE WILL!!!
Let's work for results, Sharks!
:flowerforyou: 0 -
You are all so fabulous! Love the distances you are all travelling this week
:flowerforyou:
@ Nonna - that fence is looking superb! Can't wait to see a finished photo (and I'm sure you can't either!) Love how this is building up all your muscles as well as helping you to get your miles in. I agree with Mary - you DESERVE those 15!
@ Mary - your motivation for yesterday. Really practical encouragement! THANK YOU!
And to everyone who agreed with me that 10 minutes is a VERY LONG TIME to stretch :happy: :happy: :happy: that I am not alone in feeling like this :laugh: But in the interests of fulfilling our challenge obligations, I know we will all just keep on stretching :bigsmile:
My week this week is crazy hectic. I love getting my workouts in early as that hour and a bit of workout/stretching is ME time this week! Rest of week is the usual balancing act of fitting work around family etc, but also this week helping my friend each day. SO MUCH for her to get done at home and hospital before they leave on Saturday morning :sad: So I might be less regular on here (i.e. only once a day :laugh: ) Prayers appreciated that I won't do any emotional eating this week! At the moment I've been too busy to snack (has it's advantages!)
MY MONDAY:
WORKOUT: 32 minutes circuit training (just over 3 miles) and then 32 minutes of brisk walking - exactly 2 miles. (For points, total 62 minutes) Total miles: 5
Calories burned: 543
(Walked 12 miles - still another 8 to get to my Nan's and then the 20 to get back home :laugh: )
REPS: Only 50 sit-ups today. (This has become my first thing in the morning habit! Gets me moving!)
(Done all my sit-ups now, but am not stopping there!:bigsmile: Still need another 350 other core reps though!)
STRETCHING: Yes, did my TEN minutes today :bigsmile:
Fruit and veg: 3 again today.

Tuesday:
workout miles: 7 (40 minutes with Leslie; 25 minutes circuit training)
calories: 407
stretch: 10 minutes
no reps today
fr/veg: I'm claiming three, although the servings were small on two - red peppers, arugula, ceasar salad...technically, there *were* real fruit juices in the drinks that I had tonight at Red Lobster!
:drinker:
And the calorie count wasn't as bad as I thought it would be today. I almost didn't log today 'cause I thought it would be horrible; now, I'm glad I did because I see that I can be relatively *bad* every now and then without completely wrecking all my efforts!0 -
MONDAY - week 7

I find that if I put on a 10 minute youtube video or do 10 minutes of a really soothing yoga dvd, the stretching minutes kind of fly by.
I also plan to do my actual miles on Wednesday and REP IT UP.....I really need to step it up to get those miles though....0 -

@Kristin, for the moment we have not put your reps on the chart as they are meant to be core reps, however given that you are so heavily pregnant, I'm sure Sheri won't have a problem switching yours to UB reps. I will message her and then we can take it from there. You are doing great by the way.
@Donna - that fence is looking great ... by the way could you check the chart regarding your miles, just in case I got it wrong. I put 16 miles for your w/o miles and added 2 to your run/walk miles. Was this correct?
@Samantha - that is a great tip regarding the stretching, because I think we are all finding the 10 minutes a bit tedious
@Pam - a splurge now and again does the soul good, but the important thing is to stay accountable and keep logging it - you are doing great.
Added my own fr/veggies to chart as I didn't put them in my stats yesterday = 4

My husband would like the 'black-and-white' logic of this quote:
"It's actually pretty simple - either you DO IT, or you don't!"
Guess that about sums it up!

Ewwww! My husband loves collards too; he's still bringing them in from the garden...and they stink up the whole house when I cook them! When I was really young, my dad force-fed me some turnip greens (which made me sick,) so I don't eat ANY cooked greens!
With all that said, good job, cause I know they're super-good for you!
And we're here for you even when you're feeling blah...we all have those times; just hang in there! 0 -
Thanks!
FYI I don't eat turnip greens either. :sick: Only collards 0 -
Howdy on the reps shari had said before just do what reps I can since cardio and core are a wee bit difficult right now lol so hopefully they still work I'm doing them anyways trying to keep my ub stronf for packing around a newborn! Lol its amazing how heavy they can feel since they don't help hold on like my 2 1/2 year old lol 0

Yes, she told me (on a previous occasion when we had to do core reps) that you could count ANY sort of reps. So I will add your reps to the chart now.0 -
TUESDAY:
WORKOUT: 32 minutes of circuits and 20 minutes of aerobics = 52 minutes of vigourous activity = 6 miles. Then continued straight on with cardio and lower body reps for 10 minutes - so another mile there. TOTAL 7 miles.
Calories burned: 608
REPS: 50 sit-ups and 50 reverse curls
STRETCHING: 10 minutes done
Fruit and veg: 5 today (although I have to admit I blended the watermelon and added it to a glass of vodka! Still counts as fruit though :bigsmile: )
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE!0 -
And my encouragement for today is just to
KEEP GOING!
You are all doing so well! Splurge days been not so negative, MANY miles being covered, lots of fruit and veg being consumed and even fences being built :laugh: (It's looking GREAT Nonna!)
If you do need a little more encouragement, then I want to repeat Mary's advice of last week (that I finally followed this morning :blushing: ) get out your tape measure and take your measurements again. We are half way though the challenge so see how far you have come. I was very pleasantly surprised when I did this today :bigsmile: So thank you Mary :flowerforyou:
Oh- and I also got closer to one of my challenge goals today. I wanted to run 8 km (5 miles) in under an hour. I DID manage to RUN 8 km this morning (first time in about a year!) - and was SO CLOSE to my goal: 1 hour, 1 minute and 8 seconds! I CAN DO THIS in the next 6 weeks :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -

I literally laughed out loud when I read that!
Congrats on your running success!0
