    Hey shark fans! This week has been a rough one on me. Having a hard time keeping my eye on the prize this week for some Reason but I did get some reps and walking in! And plan on some more today! Hopefully I can get through this funk of mine! It's getting very annoying!

    Monday
    Work out 30 mins walking
    cals 150 burned
    Reps 100 - 25 bicep curls, 25 tricep kick backs, 25 squats, 25 dead lifts
    Stretching - 10 mins

    Tuesday
    Work out walking - 60 mins
    Calories - 250
    Reps 100 - biceps triceps squats and dead lifts
    Stretching 10 mins

    I need to post my stretching progress on the main page but I wont lie there's not a lot of progress lol most of mine just helps keep me from being so stoved up i can't walk. Not a lot of forward progress but no backwards lol

    I don't know if it is just hormones or what lately but I tell you I have had a really hard time staying positive lately I just keep getting my self in a foul mood and get really frustrated with not being able to function at an ability I'm used to. I love being pregnant and am so excited for my little girl but I am very excited to reclaim my body! Will have to say making my self work out today really really really helped get my mood in check so I will need to remind my self of that every day!

    Hope every one has a good rep it up wednesday! :drinker:

    I have heard it said that if you do what you always do, well then the results will be the same. So, I am trying to step things up a little. There was a special offer on and I have joined a 4 week-fitness class 4 days a week which incorporates weights ... (Gym membership is not an option for me). It means that I have to be at the class at 0715 4 mornings a week, this morning was my second morning ... I am hoping it will help but I am encouraged by none other than the great Albert Einstein and I hope you will be too. :smile:

    I love all these encouraging post you are all putting up here! :flowerforyou:

    Here is mine for today. I took it from something another MFP friend of mine quoted a few days ago:

    "You are successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal."

    That means we are ALL successes ... no matter what that scale says tomorrow :laugh: Here's hoping it smiles at us nonetheless :heart:

    And Kristin - I echo what Mary said: YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION! If we had all been as dedicated as you are when we were pregnant, maybe we wouldn't be having to work so hard at losing pregnancy weight later! I am still working on weight I now gained 12 years ago!!!! KEEP GOING! Whatever you can do helps you. I LOVE having you on this team. :love:

    Hey Sharks! Remember to tighten your glutes while working out. If YOU don't squeeze your buns, NOBODY ELSE WILL! :devil:

    Sorry Sharkettes, I hope my #s help the GREATEST TEAM EVER. I will try to get 150 cardio reps in in the morning, but not much else. Working on the fence all day has my whole self aching. Thx for praying and encouraging me. And keep crushing the competition!!!:heart:

    I did have a typo on the day I said I stretched for 5 minutes. It was the 7. I am copying and pasting and missed changing that. It has been a very long week and I haven't had much time to update here because my workouts had to be so long every night.

    This week felt tough but I'm glad I got through it.

    I will be posting this on the main thread, but when we started this challenge I couldn't touch my toes very easily, but now iris less of a struggle. I'm also using the stretch time as a time to decompress for the day.
