Such awesome results everyone is posting from their first week, even those who may not quite have made it to the requirements! I am impressed at the seriousness you all put into taking on this challenge. Truly it will be you who benefits from what you put into this! Super job everyone!
Week 2 begins tomorrow!!! I am pretty sure that if you just proved to yourself that you could do this, in week 1, then there is no reason not to continue right into week 2. Keep it up everyone, make yourselves proud!0 -

I didn't make the goal this week but I did about 250 minutes more exercise than I normally do in a week so I'm really proud of that and determined to meet the 350 this week! I did really well on my water the first half of the week but weekends are always hard for me since my schedule is so off, I don't think I made my water yesterday or today. Here are my totals for the week:
Cardio: 145
Strength: 15
Other: 110
Total: 2700 -
I did not do as well as I wanted to do this week. Drinking 8 glasses of water was my biggest challenge and I only averaged about 4 glasses per day. I stuck to eating 1200 calories or less each day and I exercised for 364 mins this week. I burned about 2,713 calories. I went to the gym 4 times and did a combination of elliptical, treadmill, stairs, yoga class, and spinning classes. For week #2 I plan on going to the gym 5 days and reaching the 8 glasses of water per day. Good luck to everyone 0

New day/New week! I didnt log food/exercise over the weekend. But, between the sleepover with 8 girls 10 or under and shopping and preparing for my daughter's birthday., I think I got my extra 7 minutes of cardio I needed according to my tracker. Food and calories in may be another story....
MY water consumption was a little short over the weekend as well.
I didnt get up and go to the gym this morning so I will need to do that tonight. If not the gym maybe the Squat challenge I have been thinking about. That is something I can do at home and will give me some strength training time until I get to the gym tomorrow morning. Finishing my coffee and then its on to water. I am going to get these 8 glasses in, if it drowns me...
Have a great week!0 -

Well, Amber, you did make your minutes goal for exercise and you were pretty close to getting the water in through the week! I think you should think about what you accomplished and not what you didn't. You did great and I will look forward to seeing what you bring this week.0 -

well, you PUSHED YOURSELF and that is what this is all about. Pushing ourselves beyond what we think our limits are and beyond what we have become comfortable with.0 -
I might have a hard time meeting the goals this week because I have to taper ... taper means rest.
Rest is not something I do very well..
5 days until the halfmarathon!0 -

I did not meet the weekly calorie burn goal, but 500 cals per workout session is pretty tough to reach for me anyways. I did however push myself hard this week and it paid off! I was under on my calories each day and drank 8+ glasses of water all days.
Here was my week:
I worked out a total of 325 minutes for a total of 2412 calories (closer than I thought!)
M - Cardio/Step Aerobics 66 minutes 532 cals
T- Rest
W- Cardio Kickboxing 63 minutes 522 cals
Th- BodyWorks (strength training) 57 minutes 255 cals
F- Rest
Sat - 11 mile bike ride 91 minutes 778 cals
Sun - Elliptical Interval Training 45 minutes 325 cals
And....I have finally broke through my plateau after about 3 months! Thanks SO much!!!!
I am down 2 pounds!0 -
Good afternoon, everyone! I already got in a surprise workout. I took an 11 minute walk and got the mail. I might just do that every day this week. It wasn't the 20 minutes each day outside like last week, but it's close.
Note: Did I mention how much I love this challenge? I don't have to worry about challenges. The only thing I have to worry about is minutes and water. 0 -
In case you haven't seen, everyone, I have the new thread, for week 2 going. Lets put all of out things on that thread, for this week.
Fantastic week one, everyone! I am totally thrilled to see the work, and enthusiasm, you are all putting into this! It will only pay off for YOU in the end.0 -
I got so close, but I could only run for so long Sunday night! It got dark, quick, and I even added 10 minutes to the loop I was doing.
Time total: 341 minutes
Calories: 23710
