Vixen&Foxes: Valentine's Challange

TeamLeela

okay, what's D&D? My arms were sore this morning and as I was doing zumba today I was really feeling it! It was a great feeling!
Has anyone made a challenge for today? My suggestion is to eat the rainbow (fruits, veggies) Shoot for about 4 to 6 servings! Anyone in?

tx don't run to the store, you don't have to eat EVERY color of the rainbow.
A suggestion for purple? grapes?

I hope that by reading these posts I will actually become motivated to MOVE. Althought sitting in front of this computer is not much exercise. But some of the challenges and then people saying they MET them are making me say, "Oh, maybe I can do that" (especially something during commercials). That sounds totally doable and not like your tied to the dreaded treadmill..... Why am I so exercise phobic?

Here's a list of the "equipment" I have downstars is my work out area:
1) Treadmill (bought about 1 year ago, used 6 times, last time used, February 2010)
2) Fluidity Fitness Bar (bought about 4 years ago, did intro dvd once, it kicked my butt, haven't tried it since in 4 years)
3) Thick padded exercise floor mat for situps, etc (1 year old, never used once)
4) Body Balance Ball (bought about 6 years ago -- used a few times, but not in about 3 years)
5) Mini-Trampoline (bought 2 years ago this Christmas, used it about 5 times first week, haven't used it since).
6) Miscellaneous dumbell weights.

My work out area is not a dungeon or a basement, it has tons of windows and sunlight, is fully mirrored on one wall, and also has a 42" flat screen tv there. I also own an MP3 player w/headphones.

So, why oh, why, can't I go and just work out! WHY?!?!?!?!

Sorry for whining. I'm really asking myself this question. Where is my motivation? Has anyone felt like this? What do you suggest I do. I feel overwhelmed.

I know the feeling. My first two years of school I bought an in-dorm gym membership, all I had to do was walk down a flight of stairs and I had this great gym to workout in. I could barely get myself to use it. Now I'm off campus, but the gym is a short drive away (I could walk when it's not winter, but it's up a huge hill...) and it's full of equipment. I would schedule in workout times, but always complain that I was just too tired to go.

Over my winter break I decided it's time to stop making excuses and get fit. I don't have much to lose, but I need to get fit and healthy. I found that forcing myself first thing when I wake up helps me resist the "ugh, I'm just too tired" feeling.

I would like to join in your challenge! I am currently at 180.5 and I would like to be down to 170. Good luck to all!

Hi...I would love to join. I joined the site on Monday and quite impressed. My present weight is 148 lbs and my goal by Valentines Day is 140 lbs. I have been smoke free for 46 days now and have started running. My goal is to stay smoke free and become more physically fit.

Thanks for letting me join your group

I can't believe I didn't find this group sooner. I love an active thread that's full of fun and supportive ppl, not to mention fun challenges. I find that the challenges really keep me motivated. So, count me in.

I'm really bummed that I missed the commercial challenge b/c that sounds like a lot of fun.

Nonetheless, here's my information:

I'm a 37 year old, single, no children female currently residing in GA. My weight as of Monday, January 3, 2011 was 130 lbs and my goal is to weigh between 120-122 lbs.

No TV for the commercial challenge again tonight, but I did 5 miles that the gym and I have belly dancing in about an hour, so that'll cut it!

D&D is Dungeons and Dragons.. yeah, I'm a geek! hahaha
