As for me, I'm Tiffany, 33, also getting married. My date is July 12th, 2014. I've always been someone who has admired the strength and discipline of athletes but has never had the motivation or ability to emulate it--at least not for a significant period of time.
As I've mentioned before, the wedding is really driving me to stick with a fitness plan this time. But what I've discovered during this process is that I'm really enjoying the opportunity to make myself and my health a priority. I work as a mental health therapist in a middle school classroom for emotionally disturbed youth. My kids are fun and hilarious and super challenging. I love my job, but I feel like so much of my energy both inside and outside of work hours is spent worrying about them, which i know is not at all healthy and a recipe for burnout. I notice when I make time to exercise and take care of my body, I start focusing on my needs instead and it feels really good. It also makes me a better therapist because I come to work ready and able to give my kids my full attention and energy.
Like a lot of you, I'm worried about what will happen to this new lifestyle once the challenge ends. But in the meantime, I'm extremely grateful to be part of this team! Go Team Beth!! :drinker:
You're going to look fierce at your wedding, I just know it!! Kudos to you for what you do - someone needs to help our kids out, especially as parenting seems to be taking a back seat more and more. Cheers! :drinker:0 -
kmoiregreen: You're a beast! Congrats on your well deserved MVP - I am in awe! :laugh:
The challenge is really ramping up - we can do it! Last night was a great episode, and we got two kills. Great start to the week! :drinker:0 -

Rick will be deciding the punishment exercises this week and choosing one of the four new characters. The weekly points from the remaining three will be divided up among the three, second place finishers.
This week's optional show inspired exercise is this fitnessblender golf workout:

Awww, thanks, Marieamethyst! :flowerforyou:
Congratulations, kmoiregreen!! I agree; you are the beastiest of beasts!! :drinker:
And yay, two kills for us!!! And my back is feeling better though I still might hold off on lifting and do more bodyweight exercises for strength until I feel ready.
Yikes, 250 minutes of cardio! I was thinking of going ice skating for a couple hours on Saturday to help me get it all in. What are the rest of you guys doing for cardio?0 -
No official punishment yet, but if you check out the Team Rick Thread, they are discussing a circuit training punishment. If you want to start on it, go for it. This way even if they decide to go in another direction, you will still have some strength training done.
Anyone who wants to join Team Carol's Cardio challenge is welcome to compete - we are trying for 500 minutes this week.0 -
Here's the punishment from Team Rick's captain. The good news is he decided that you only have to do it once this week and, as always, you can include it with your cardio or strength numbers.Posting from my phone at work so I'll be brief! The week's punishment is a quick circuit training routine:
1 min jumping jacks; 10 sit ups/roll ups/crunches; 1 min jump rope; 1 min side plank (30 sec each side); 5 burpees.0 -
lots of classes. They are a hour longAwww, thanks, Marieamethyst! :flowerforyou:

Great job! I think I'll tackle it tomorrow.
I would love to try for the 500 club, but I'm finally into the practice portion of my online program, and it's taking more time than the review part. Good luck though, TJ!
The planned cardio for this week for me is: 30 Day Shred, Dance Dance Revolution, walking when the weather approves in a few days, and jogging in place while catching up on TV at night. I'm so boring. :laugh:
The scale has stalled for the last two weeks, but I had to go buy new jeans today. Went from a size 12 to a size 7. I have no idea how that works out, but I accept!0 -
You go, Gambrell!! Way to be on it!0

Marieamethyst, DDR is never boring! And wow!! That is amazing! I hope you took before pics!0

Its ok if you dont make the 500 club - your challenging yourself and thats all that matters.
GREAT NSV on the jeans by the way - you must be smiling all day!!!!0 -
Is anyone gonna need help getting there circuit done? Let me know and I will do it. I actually really liked it!0

I accidently brought home the size that was too big, instead of the size 7 (Mommy Brain will get you, just an advanced warning!). But I just posted this in a mummy tummy before/after:
145.8 - 1/13/14 : 139.2 - 3/5/2014
I love seeing all of the sweat and soreness paying off!
I definitely smiled all day!
I'm going to try for 500, and we'll see how it goes. I'm rooting for you though! :flowerforyou:
I still haven't tried the punishment exercise yet; those side planks scare me, haha.0 -
Nice work Marie! You look great 0
-
You go, Hot Mama!! W00t!!!0
-
Thank you, ladies! I can't wait to hear everyone else's successes from the challenge :flowerforyou:0
-
Fantastic inspiration Marie!!!!! It sure helps to see others successes, lets me know that this really works!
Hope everyone is having a great week. I have been a bad patient and not following docs orders...my consequence is a lot of pain, but I am going to ask and see if pain and tingling is all that my exercise will cause, and no further damage, then I am not quitting! I want to do so much more lifting!0 -
Im going to be cutting it close with these cardio mins.... I have 72 left to do but I will get it done. This week did not go has planned.0

Gambrell, I have 75 left! We can do it!!0

Hope you feel better, kmoiregreen!
I have 170 extra cardio minutes and 30 extra strength if anyone needs them before the end of the day. Today is gorgeous so I might go try my baby carrier and earn some more minutes before check in. (I almost made it to the club, TJ!)0 -
