    Aww glad you did it anyway! I am waiting for hubby to get to bed so I can get mine in but he picks tonight to stay up! I only have 2 left and can't miss it. I have my Wii clock set to 2 hours behind so I still have a few hours before it changes!

    Good Job ladies :)

    Congrats on your first challenge completed! Very impressed that you stuck with it, cause it sure gets hard to at some points.

    Tonight after Glee (lol) I will get in my 19th workout on my 2nd challenge. I still will hate those reverse high knee jumps - I can't stand them! lol. plan on working out all week so I can catch up on my one missed workout - I want to finish by next tuesday. I want to be done in one week. But I don;'t know what I'll do next......might go back to Sports Active for a month. I want to keep up my workouts, and hold strong, but boy am I itching for that new active to come out in November - pre ordering it next month after pay day! It's my ealy christmas present!!

    Alright - time to head to my son's school to volunteer with vision testing! Otherwise I'd be getting some workouts in now! I need to get used to bike riding again. Maybe tomorrow! See you all later!!

    Kind of just popped in here.. I have Wii Active and have only attempted the 30 day challenge once. I did not complete it - I would like to attempt it again sometime soon!

    congratz kickrz on completing it!! Way to go!!! was just wondering what your final weigh in was at the end of the challenge?

    Sbozek - are you a Gleek? I totally am :)
    You can do this! You are the one that has stuck with me through the entire thread so at this point you kinda have to :wink:
    I cannot wait for the new EA! I am going to start Slim in 6 tomorrow I think. Also shhh don't tell but I cheated during high knee jumps :blushing: I drive my knee forward but don't jump...lol.


    sundinsgurl - I have been so excited that I completed the challenge I forgot about my weight...lol. So starting weight - August 09/2010 - 154.5 and today - 142.4
    So in 6 weeks I lost 12.1lbs...not too shabby!

    I am a total Gleek! I've been obsessed since day 1 of the show - I think I loved the first season more than anything - but I am looking foward to next weeks episode - Brittany music, and John Stamos's appearence! lol - so exciting!

    Ok - here's today's workout - will admit I didn't push myself real hard - TOM is here and, felt like I was going to fall apart! But to make up for the low impact, I'l be doing my Gold's Gym workout in a bit!

    Workout 20 Medium (low impact for me today)
    Cals - 140.3
    Time- 19:10
    12/12

    I tried the reverse knee jumps your way today, and boy did I not hate them - the jumping does make my legs so weak after 5 or so jumps - but it was nice to try it a little different today - Thanks!

    4 workouts to go - 1 Friday, 1 Sunday, 1 monday, and the last on next tuesday!!

    So glad I got my workout done before noon today! I'm putting my oldest on his preschool bus, and then I'm enjoying my lunch with my little man! We have lots planned for today, and then I get to clean house later while they're off with Gramps. Busy busy day, and weekend planned!

    So I just completed workout 4! For some reason I sweat my butt off today!
    Wii showed I burned 161 calories...HRM showed 189!
    Off to take the dog for a walk. I have to get lots of exercise in because hubby wants pizza and poutine for supper....eek...lots of calories.
    Enjoy your weekend girls!

    OMG what was I thinking!!

    I started Slim in 6 on Thursday and had planned to make Sunday my rest day. Well I have a really bad ear infection so I took yesterday off instead because I just could not stand the pain.

    Today I did my SI6 in the morning ( I normally workout at night) and was like ya ok check it is done. I didn't really feel like I got a GOOD workout in though. I didn't want to start another EA 6 week challenge since I am already doing SI6 and that for me would be insane. So I popped in the original EA and thought what the heck. I set it up for 30 day challenge on HARD!!

    Argg..l am a sweaty mess and my ear is throbbing!

    Sooooo:

    Workout 1/20..lol

    Calories Burned : 195.8
    Time : 0:31:46
    Completed - 18/18

    HRM says 40 mins and 205 calories burned!!

    Now will I make it to the end...no idea but it is nice to have a structured exercise that changes it up daily. I am really focused on the SI6 but hope maybe I can do both.

    Let's go ladies!

    Well I didn't do the Wii Active today, instead I went for a jog with the dog. Will try and do the Wii Workouts during the week.

    Kickrz... Stick with the hard EA challenge. There are days I sweat my butt off, literally, and then there are wokouts that are more manageable. I am glad you'll be around here longer and on the challenge with me!
    Hope your ear gets better...there really is no worse pain than a horrible earache.

    Sorry to hear about your Ear pains! Hope you feel better soon!

    Workout 22 Medium
    Cals - 150.4
    Time - 24:24
    15/16 (skipped 2nd set of pushups)

    I'm glad I got in my workout today, but I can't wait for tuesday. I think Thursday will start the EA Sports Active 30 day challenge - I have camp this weekend, and am hoping for great weather so I can do the hike, boating, high ropes course and climbing wall! We'll see - I really want to push myself and attempt to conquor (sp?) my fear of heights/falling while I'm away this weekend. Well.....time to get ready for bed - so tired!

    WOO HOO! 2nd round of my 6 week challege complete! 1st time on Easy, and this round on Medium!! Here are my results!

    End of Challenge Results

    5.2 miles ran 3,574.1 Calories burned
    41 days into challenge 9:12:28 Workout time

    Weight loss - August 1st (203.5) - Sept 28th (189.5) 14b. loss! I didn't realize it was that much!! Explains why I hit my October goal early!! that's .33 a lb a day! Crazy great for me!!!


    Workout 24 Medium
    Cals - 141.9
    Time - 20:23
    12/12

    So glad I did this on Medium - I have noticed a huge difference in my strength, endurance, and of course weight loss. I'll be back on Thursday to do the 30 day challenge on EA Sports PT. Going to enjoy tomorrow off!

    WTG ladies!


    Sbozek - So happy you made it! You are going back to the original too? I started the other day and Monday was my rest day so hopefully I can get to it tonight. I did ramp it up yesterday (part of slim in 6) and it kicked my butt HARD! Tonight I have to attempt both which might just get ridiculous so I think I will do the 30 day on my own time and use it as a filler workout for those more energetic days. My sister is coming home next week from California so I will be visiting and eating most of the time...lol. She is only down for a week or so but when she leaves it is back to strict again!!

    WhiteRaven - Welcome...it does get easier and with the variety it doesn't get old.

    emalay - I will swap you pushups for crossover lunges:laugh:

    Workout 7 completed with 131 calories burned!
    Although I think I should get extra credit because I did it with a puppy intertwining around my feet the entire time!!!

    Sbozek123 Posts: 94 Member
    lol - I always have my two boys underfoot when I'm working out! My youngest (2) will sit on my stomach/chest when I'm doing the floor exercises! makes it sooooo much harder!


    I started the 30 day challenge again *medium* and found it to be a good sweaty workout, but I forgot how much I hate the running on the track. I love that More Workouts broke up the running into sprints, and track layouts. I hate going in circles!!!

    Day 1 Medium
    Cals - 171
    Time - 22:04
    16/16

    Not sure if I will be on till Sunday - going to be a Wild Woman tomorrow at my camp, and go hiking, boating, rock wall climbing, and hopefully a high ropes course! Have a great weekend everyone!

    Just checking in. I haven't been doing too well but I am making a promise now to start it back up and get to it. I did still manage to lose even though exercise hasn't been my top priority.

    I am going to start soon! No excuses so keep me motivated ladies!!
