NSV - I went for a physical this morning and the Dr. is super pleased with my progress. The only thing she wants me to do differently is limit my coffee more :grumble: and avoid alcohol completely. We are trying to conceive so these two things are considered wise things to do. Since I hardly drink this is not an issue, but I'm not that impressed with the coffee restrictions. I guess more herbal tea is in my future. At least I can count it as "water" :laugh: In other good news, the scale weighs me heavier here than at the Drs office! :drinker:
Awesome Job at the Dr!!! Dont you just hate it when they tell you to cut down on coffee - its diabolical!!. You are lucky that you can count it as water though. I cant, if it has caffeine in it it doesnt count according to my nutritionist. Thats why I end up short sometimes cause I dont stop drinking coffee until lunch time. It really cuts into the hours I have to get in all my water, but I AM NOT GIVING IT UP!!!
Coffee=Life
Without Coffee=Life, without the possibility of parole
awesome job on the NSV... dr apt are always good when you arent 'afraid' to go.
and the coffee thing... thats hilarious!0 -
i need to say thanks ahead of time for the extra help this week. i went on vacation and came back a bit of an emotional mess. and about the time my motivation started coming back, my son decided he needed a couple more teeth. I was able to get in a swim earlier in the week (that i forgot about in my original post) plus my tabattas class last night.
so far this is where im at:
Cardio: 115/210
Strength: 0/100
Average calorie intake: 0/6
Punishment (current) = Sally Down: 2/ 5 days
i am planning to lift tomorrow morning (first in a week, ouch) so that will be a for sure 60min (and i'll finish up those sally's too)
If i can pull off some yoga during the day on saturday, or even tonight, that would give me another 60 in cardio.
sooo.. that would put me at:
Cardio: 175/210
Strength: 60/100
ill do what i can to push for a bunch on saturday... but ^these are the best bet for my final numbers.
thanks again. I WILL do better next week. and do extra so i can give back.0 -
Corsucate: I have finished my strength for the week - and I have an extra 50 minutes. You can have those...
I should have some extra cardio too. I wanna join the 300+ this week club

We are a club now? Fantastic!!
I just thought it was Sarah's way of kicking me in the backside to get me off the couch.0 -
i think it motivated a lot of us to get off the couch
I know I was sitting on mine, thinking...wow 300 minutes is a lot. There's a lot of reasons that I can't do that...my knees will be sore, the gym is always crowded on Saturdays, and I have chores to do....and then I stopped and slapped myself. That's the kind of thinking that made me overweight in the first place! So, yeah...I'm in for 3000 -

Monday: 50 cardio
Tuesday: 0 FLEW but did Sally squats
Wednesday: 95 cardio + 60 strength train, and squats
Thursday: 47 cardio + 45 strength train., and squats
Friday: 140 cardio + 38 strength train., and squats
Saturday:
407/220 cardio (have extra for anyone!)
143/100 strength (have extra for anyone!)
4/5 sally squats = 30 squats for each day and (30 more each day for anyone!)
Food/Calories = UNDER
No Burpees!
As Cindyinpg suggested - can't access the video, it is 4 minutes of regular squats, but holding in the squat position for a full 3 seconds before rising and squatting again. Which I did this as I can not stand the song in the video.
Saturday will bring more squats, strength and cardio!
We are awesome Carols, People!
Oh and I am a fitbit user. Anyone know how to add a friend?0 -
My final totals for this week :drinker:
Cardio: 231.5/ 220
Strength: 117.5/90 (+ 10 minutes for my donation that is not counted in my totals)
Sally :devil: : 5/5
Sorry, I don't have extra to donate, but I came home from my errands to a power outage. So I did 45 minutes at the gym until my husband (who was starving) insisted it was time for dinner. I did a little more strength training when I got home so I'm just a little shy of 30 minutes over. I could do more tomorrow, but I think we can only count 6 days :sad:0 -

The OB doc that I work for recommends 2-4 cups of coffee a day for heart health. It's the latest research.0 -

I
you guys. I can totally live on 2-4 cups of coffee a day. 
I try to limit myself to 2, 16 oz mugs a day anyway. The wine restriction is a non-issue as I think I drink maybe 2 glasses of wine a month. I like it; I just hardly ever think to open a bottle unless someone else offers it to me.
BTW Sara - tea = herbal tea which has no caffeine because I wouldn't be doing caffeine much (other than coffee and a little chocolate) if I get preggers. Here's to hoping it happens soon :drinker:0 -
You are doing awesome Kim!
Skittles, you are golden this week as usual. My knee is bothering me today. I think I tweaked it a bit doing zumba and thought just walking and squatting it out would help. It needs a rest day but I think I will kick out another Sally or two just in case we are short.
Don't forget to turn in your stats today by midnight CST!
Cardio:x/220 with optional 45 mins of combat training
Strength:x/100...10 min donation with arms
Sallys:x/5 days
Food:x/6 days
