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:
And rewarded yourself with vodka and watermelon...AWESOME!!!
I literally laughed out loud when I read that!
Congrats on your running success!
LOL - in fact the vodka and watermelon (very nice if you ever want to try it!) was last night (Tuesday!) and the run was this morning (Wednesday)! So MAYBE that's the secret! Have a drink the evening before you plan a big PB run :laugh: Not sure race officials would agree with me there :ohwell: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
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.
Yes Ali and Kristin,
Sheri confirmed same to me today ... and she also said she is so proud that Kristin is staying with the challenge. Go Kristin go, you are a true inspiration. :drinker:0 -

core reps: 50

Pertaining to exercise...
"There will be a day when I can no longer do this;
TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!"
Let's give it all we got before the weigh-in!
(Can you tell that the weigh-ins always make me nervous and anxious?! I'm forever the one saying, "Oh my word, the weigh-in is here again!!!)
:sick:0 -
WEDNESDAY:
WORKOUT: 61 minutes running - 5 actual miles (but I only need 1 more there - so counting 1 actual mile and 4 workout miles!)
Calories burned: 637.
(I have now got to my Nan's house and am on my way back to my parents - 24 down, 16 more to go :noway: Only wish this was "real" and that I had just been able to pay a visit to my Nan :ohwell: )
REPS: 50 sit-ups and then 300 core reps for Rep It Up Wednesday! (3 x 25 reverse crunches, 3 x 25 double crunches, 2 x 25 pike crunches and 4 x 25 oblique crunches) - and yes, my stomach muscles ACHE!
(Have done all my reps for this week now, but will still keep going with my daily sit-ups! Yes, I am crazy!)
STRETCHING: Did my 10 minutes
FRUIT AND VEG: 5 today! (And no, no vodka with ANY of them :laugh: )

@ Pam - it seems you can put off that weigh in for another 24 hours if you want :laugh:
SHERI POSTED THIS:
ELIMINATION CHALLENGERS - Slight change this week and next....Because of the holidays...etc....You have an extra day this week to completed the challenge and the miles (points week will remain the same) - TALK to your team leaders - if they need your #'s ealier to get them posted than you need to make arrangements with them/me to work that out...you now have until Saturday morning (instead of Friday - I'll be putting up the challenge for next week probably late Saturday night (middle of the night for most of you) but it will be largely focused on the holiday so shouldn't be a huge deal you getting it late....for those a day ahead....just do a workout Sunday if that's your normal day to workout - I will work with you if there are issues with it going up later than normal. Weigh In can be Friday or Saturday morning for anyone who wants the extra day OR if you want to stay on schedule....sorry if this messes anyone up....and for some...you may really appreciate the extra day! ;-) Hope you guys are having an AWESOME Week!!!
I believe it is my turn to round up all the weigh ins and post to Sheri this week, and I am super amazingly busy on Friday so wouldn't have been free then. (Last day with my best friend in town :sad: :sad: ) So in fact Sheri's late change of plan helps me out. I will collect up all your weigh ins on Saturday morning and post. This gives you an extra 24 hours to get those miles in! (I might even get "back home" to see my parents now :laugh: ) BUT if you want to keep to the original plan and weigh in tomorrow you can. (I am likely to weigh in tomorrow as usual, but still use the time after 10 am to get in some miles if I need it.) As long as everything is entered by 10 am on Saturday, it is good!
SO GET THOSE MILES IN SHARKS!0 -
Today's motivation from me:
0 -
"Whether you think you can or you think you can't ... you're right" - Henry Ford
.... And sharks, what's it to be .... but of course .... we can!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: 0 -
Blah...I think this is my last week. I know I won't hit the miles goal and I am heading out of town today so weighed myself today instead of tomorrow and it isn't pretty. I'll post my miles done to help out with the team goal and if by some miracle I am still here next week I will hopefully be back in the groove of exercising. I think the miles just threw me with the fact that I was losing a day to going on vacation.
Sunday: 2 Miles walking the mall plus the 10 minutes of stretching
Monday: 60 minutes Dancing = 6 miles, plus 10 minutes of stretching
Tuesday: 60 minutes Circuit = 6 miles, plus 10 minutes of stretching
Wednesday: 10 minutes stretching
Thursday: 10 minutes stretching
Sorry guys. This year has been a real struggle for me to find that motivation to keep going like I did last year. There are so many things that I know should make me want to keep pushing, but for whatever reason they just aren't working this week. Will post my weigh in in the other thread.0 -
Sooooo...
Is it unethical to weigh tomorrow morning AND Saturday morning and turn in whichever number I want to? :laugh:
The further I get into today, the more I seem to be carb-loading...so tomorrow AM might be ugly!
Some days, I just want STARCHY STUFF!!!
Mmmmmm....0 -
Pam - I was half thinking the same thing myself :laugh:
Mango - Hope things settle down for you - I have added your miles on the chart
Ali - I feel sore today!!! But not sorry - long may it continue
