    We can continue to do mini challenges here for sure! I know I will be busy in my new business. If you go to aristapasta.com you can see all the yummy pasta we will be making this season. We start today!!!


    I'm so not close to 150 mins of cardio a day. I'm going to do my best however!

    Just wanted to remind you all that I wrote down all of your goals and if you need a reminder to what they are, let me know cause we are turning them in with the final numbers this Sat! Will you reach your goal/goals?????

    I had goals? Oh no. I have no idea what they might have been. Hopefully I was smart and made an easy goal. LOL!

    lol that was my thought when people started turning them in saturday thinking the challenge was over. I couldnt remember mine and MFP doesnt keep message far enough back to go back and see what I sent.

    Here is my fitspo that I made for the challenge (I am posting in the fitspo thread as well). I chose this because not that long ago, a friend of mine told me that I was the only person she knew who did not use her treadmill as a clothes dumping ground.

    This is what I posted on the Fitspo page.. I took this pic while on my run on Saturday morning.

    I have fallen WAY off on my exercise this week.. Like 0... I will remedy that tonight no problem... Been really stressed with work, a big wedding this weekend, and my parents coming to town... i get very quickly overwhelmed cleaning our tiny one bedroom apartment bc it is so packed with stuff, it never looks like I have made a dent. I will be getting on the bike tonight and will be getting some strength in after the kids go to bed..

    I love your fitsbos!!! You guys are so awesome! I have time tomorrow to write down all of your goals from the beginning of the challenge. I have been getting tons of exercise working in the kitchen. It's really tough work but I'm really loving it! I only count it because my fitbit is going crazy. I'm only counting about 1/4 what it tells me to.


    Midweek! Let's kick it up a notch!

    check in:

    Cardio:187/250
    Strength: 45/100
    Martial Arts/Combat: 90/135
    Average calorie intake: 4/6 days
    Punishment (current) = 0/2 leg throws (2 sets of 20)

    I'm not sure I'll make strength or punishment this week. I lifted on Monday and pulled a muscle in my back. There really arent many lifting moves you can do that don't effect your back - maybe I'll sit an do bicep curls, but otherwise I just have to give it time to recover. And throwing my legs around is not happening right now. Sorry...

    This is turning out to be another really rough week for me. The stress of work is becoming overwhelming. I have tomorrow off so I plan on doing a whole day of exercise. The constant rain we are getting has not helped the situation either.... it just makes me so sleepy!

    I have a question about the fitspo... I am not able to do one at work (which is the only place I have access to a computer with internet). Is there anything else I can do to give us the points? If not I will try to borrow a computer and take it to starbucks or somewhere that has free wifi!

    Okay, help. Anyone know how to put two pictures side by side? I tried to use photobucket, but I can't figure out how to do it. Is there another application I should be using?

    I dunno, all I've ever done is created something in paint and then uploaded that.

    I think I have accomplished 2 of my 4 goals. The carbs were a no go and I havent finished the C25k yet. Although I have run/walked a 10k and a 5k.

    I will not reach 800 cardio minutes this week, but I already have 385 cardio/110 strength so Im on track to reach the elusive 500 that I have been trying to reach for a month.

    Thats it, thats my update. I still have to figure out my fitspro. Im not good with pictures and sayings.

    Dear teammates,

    You all are awesome. I aspire to be more like all of you so today I

    1) Did a 60 minute step videos with weights that would have kicked my @ss 9 weeks ago
    2) Bought a pretty new dress that fits me to dress up for ya all

    I would take you all out for a coffee (or tea) and a morning walk if you were here. I might be overdressed in my pretty new dress, but I don't care. :laugh:

    My husband didn't bat an eye when I made him take my picture this morning. The dress on the left is a size 18 and designed to be worn with a jacket, and my new blue one is size 14 and doesn't have any other components.

    I have been in a lot great groups on MFP but you ladies have won my :heart: Please don't disappear on me just because this challenge is over.

    I owe you all some punishment exercises, but my minimums are all done and I will likely have more cardio before the day is over so I am going to wait before officially doing the last check in.
