Vixen&Foxes: Valentine's Challange

txchic_73

So I managed a measly 15 pushups today (but managed the situps - woop) - I think I'm going to have to adjust the challenge to manage 50 by the end of the week let's see how it goes!

Giving it a try is as good as anything. At least you attempted it and you know how many you can do. I bet you can do a few more each day. I actually break mine up into segments. I will do like 20, then do my crunches, then do 10 more then go do something else then bust out the last 20. It doesn't have to be all at once, just 50 in a day. Try spacing them out to see if you can do them all. Good luck and way to go on the effort and the situps!

Good afternoon and happy Friday! Once again the day has gotten away from me but was able to knock out today's workout before it got too crazy. Today I completed the Push Circuit 3 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program, jumped rope for 25 minutes and then stretched for 15 minutes.

I really am going to have to purchase heavier weights b/c I was able to rock out this entire circuit without really reaching failure. Don't get me wrong I felt each exercise but I could have completed more than 8 reps. I'm glad I'm getting stronger but did not want to have to spend money on additional weights just yet. I probably go lift at least 20 lbs on the upper body exercises and 25 or 30 lbs for the sumo squats and bowling lunches. I don't know if I can purchase both sets just yet but we'll see.


Great job with the continued loss ladies......keep up the great work.

wow well done! fabulous start!

Lol I was really conservative in my V. day goal - totally forgot about the fact that the Christmas weight would probably come off quite fast. Maybe I should increase my goal? Or just enjoy exceeding it? Thoughts?

Everyone's doing so well!

I would say it depends on how you respond to challenges....meaning if you'll be really hard on yourself if you don't make it I say keep it the same and continue to set small goals for yourself.

Good morning everyone and happy Saturday! I had to get up and at em early this morning because I had a very early hair appointment. I got up at 5 am and Rocked out the first part of today's workout. I completed the Burn It Off dvd from the Chalean Extreme program. I was supposed to also do some ab work but did not have enough time this morning so will complete a little later after my errands have been completed.

I also am not reporting a loss this week. I had a feeling the weight loss process would slow down a little bit after last week's big loss.

TeamLeela

Sounds similar to my store!!!! I had only those 10 pounds but since October I let it all go, so my 10 became 18! Nice to see you back on track!

I was also tempted to put my weight after Christmas / New Years. If I did, it would have looked like I lost 7 pounds by now. I started the challenge putting in my lowest weight because I want to push myself to lose from that and become closer to my final goal weight. Sometimes, I would wish I had put the higher weight as my starting weight, but I'm glad to be pushing myself this hard.

If your final weight goal will take a while to reach, I would increase the weight goal for this challenge a little bit more. But then, it really is up to you.

margie_77

yesterday was 25 push-ups 50 sit-ups.

licha75

I actually had gained 4 pounds over the x'mas holidays but I have lost that too. Really it would of been 10.2 pounds lost, but I didn't feel right putting those 4 pounds.

Post by accident. Forgot to quote.

Good afternoon everyone and happy Sunday! Hope everyone is having a great weekend thus far. Last night my friends and I headed to Sips n Strokes to celebrate my birthday and I had a BLAST. We bought three bottles of wine (although I only had one 8 oz glass), cheese and crackers and spinach dip/chips. The best part of last night was that I rocked a small tank top and small sweater and a pair of size 4 jeans......Yippee....Yippee. It appears I'm currently fluctuating between a size 4 and 6 jeans depending on style. The jeans I had on last night fit just the way I like them to so I was extremely happy. My current profile pic is the outfit I wore last night. I also got a funky new hairstyle to start this year and birthday off right and to match my new attitude.

I spent 5 1/2 hours in the hair salon yesterday (perm, cut, rinse, curl) and had to drop a friend off at the airport therefore I was unable to complete the second part of yesterday's workout (ab work) so I told myself I would do it today.

I got up super early this morning and rocked out the HIIT 15 dvd from the Turbo Fire program and Ab Ripper X from the P90X program. Once that was complete I got dressed and headed to the store for this week's groceries AND to purchase heavier weights. I am moving up from 15 lbs to 20 lbs. I probably can handle 25 lbs or 30 lbs for leg work but didn't have it in my budget to get 2 sets of weights.

After I finish posting I will participate in the comercial challenge again this week but instead of jumping rope I plan to hula hoop, Walmart didn't have a weighted hula hoop so I'm going to just use the old school one for the time being. I don't expect to get a high calorie burn but just want to stay moving.

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO SAW A LOSS THIS WEEK. We only have about a month left until V-day so let's stay focused so we can all meet our goal.

txchic_73

OMalley u are doing awesome at your challenge! I know I posted it, but I have not managed to get it all in. We are moving soon so I have spent all weekend cleaning, clearing out, and doing laundry. By the time I finished I pretty much went to bed and forgot all about it, so I will have to play catch up! You guys are so awesome! Gonna squeeze in more exercise this week, as I get off work a little earlier.

Congrats to everyone on all the hard work this week. Way to go! Gotta get my pushups/crunches in now so off I go!

After 2 weeks or procrastination, I finally got on the treadmill today (because my bff texted me that SHE was on her treadmill)... LOL!!! Now if I could just do it on a regular basis!

brandygburke

I'd love to join in if it isnt too late!
Started 01/01/2011 at 163.8 - weighed in on 1/14/2011 at 154.8 and I'd like to be 145 by Valentine's day -- we'll see how that goes!

TeamLeela

Everyone ready for another week? We still have another 4 weeks left in the challenge. So don't get discouraged if you were off to a rough start. Just keep pushing. Keep drinking water and keep up with the mini challenge.

I challenge everyone to do 30 more minutes of cardio next week than they did this week. It can be in one session or broken down throughout the week. It can also be inconjunction with another mini challenge, like the commerical challenge or abs and push up challenge. Who's with me?

I think I can handle an extra 30 minutes for the week.....count me in. I have a new hula hoop so I'll try to use it to get the extra minutes.

txchic_73

Ok, I did my 50 pushups & 50 crunches! Yay! Ok, I am going to try to do the extra 30 mins of cardio this week. I have not been able to workout lately so that would prob be about 30 mins - an hr for the week, but I will do what I can. The commercial challenge helps me alot. Thanks for the challenge Team Leela!

Oh, great! So here I am week two, use the treadmill, shoveled, etc (more exercise than I've gotten in a year practically), tracking everything relentlessly. And what do I get? Gained weight back! Uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh! I'm hopeful that it's just the first week was a fluke and I'm evening out???? I'm back up 2.5 pounds.... to 139..5, but it's still 5.5 pounds less than I started at 2 weeks ago. Keep trucking, I guess?!?!?!
