I consumed WAAAYYY too many calories on Friday. Had lunch with Co-workers at a Mexican restaurant then had dinner with my boyfriend and his brother at another Mexican restaurant. I think I had double what I'm supposed to have, so 2400 instead of 1200. Yesterday I woke up and immediately ran with Ullrey's C25K for 30 minutes. I really had my best run! Every time I checked my nike+ ipod we were running at 9.3 or 9.5. This is such a great thing for me!!! I usually fluctuate and find myself in the 10's. Then me and my bf washed our cars thoroughly inside and out for about 2 hours! I didn't count that in MFP because it wasn't listed but I'm sure I made up for those calories. Now for today... the plan is to do a 60 minute bike ride. I honestly think riding my bike is the easiest way to lose calories in a fun way. It's a beautiful day in Austin, TX! Hope everything is having a great weekend!!

To tell you the truth, if you are working out really hard, as you do, and then staying under your calories everyday, one night of an overindulgence is not going to hurt you. First of all it is going to fool your body/metabolism and second if you had stored up calories from during the week, it will all work out in the end. So, you are probably just fine and then you got right up and worked your tail off on Saturday.

Be proud. You may may not have made the total minutes, but you are surpassing other things you have not done before. So, you are making the strides and it is showing. Great job staying at it and doing the best that you can. Awesome week 2, week 3 begins tomorrow! Woo Hoo.

ughh what a week. Started super strong then got busy with all kinds of events and nice weather. I did make it by the skin of my teeth as I counted mowing the lawn(I normally don't count anything I don't wear an hrm for). I ate horribly if at all. Drank way too much beer. But hey that's just my life on occasion. I'm going to get back into it b/c I don't feel well. My body likes good food, lots of water and working out. You all nailed it. Way to go.

So I just added in my final workout, which was only strength, and I am short 8 minutes, so I'm going to go jog in place for those minutes.

:happy:

Holy Cow you all went into week 2 strong! Wow to all of you, just wow, great job! Sorry to just be getting on and getting things posted but I have been without internet for the last 7ish hours! Felt like life was over that I could NOT get on here and post my exercise or food. Phew, almost had a nervous break down over it, LOL, but we got it all back up and working and I am here getting it all documented.

Here are my Monday results: I have to say it was a beautiful day in Minot, ND for the first time in a LONG, LONG time and I really didn't want to be inside, so I did a lot today.

60 minute brisk walk with my dogs burned, per my HRM, 628 calories
32 minutes bike ride burned, per my HRM, 645 calories
12 minutes circuit machines strength training burned, per my HRM, 132 calories
45 minute kettlebell class burned, per my HRM, 755 calories

17 glasses of water in today

Looks like you are really pushing yourselves again this week. Great job so far, everyone!

Here is my totals for today, day 2

60 minutes walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 760 calories
30 minute bike ride burned, per my HRM, 513 calories
30 minutes on the Elliptical burned, per my HRM, 615 calories
11 minutes of circuit strength training burned, per my HRM, 138 calories

So I have done 257 minutes of cardio and 23 minutes of strength training for the week, so far

Today I have 18 glasses of water in and am sure a couple more before bed

Here is my day three results:

35 minutes of walking burned, per my HRM, 336 calories
45 minutes of circuit training with a trainer burned, per my HRM, 738 calories (this was half cardio and half strength)

So, I have done 280 minutes of cardio, 45 minutes of strength, and 35 minutes of other

So far I have 9 glasses of water in but it is only 12:30pm so I will get another 9, or so, in

HOW WE ALL DOIN????????? :happy:

Here is my day 4, week 2 results:

58 minutes of walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 722 calories
30 minutes of Roller Skating burned, per my HRM, 446 calories
15 minutes of Circuit Strength Training burned, per my HRM, 160 calories
42 minute Kettlebell class burned, per my HRM, 617 calories

I have 18 glass of water drank today, but will get at least one more as I am parched.

So, I have done 420 minutes of cardio, 60 minutes of strength, and 35 minutes of other

How is everyone else doing with 3 days left in this week 2?

Here is my Friday results:

65 minutes of walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 888 calories
45 minutes of Elliptical burned, per my HRM, 1005 calories

I have done 615 minutes of exercise 530 minutes of cardio, 60 minutes of strength, and 35 minutes of other

I have 13 glasses of water done as of now, 2pm, so a lot of time left to get in even more.

I tried something new with my elliptical, today, that I learned when I worked with a personal trainer Wednesday. She taught me that if you are using a machine, treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, etc.., to change your pace/incline every couple of minutes. So, I did 45 minutes on the elliptical and I began doing 4 minutes, at a incline of 3 with a moderate pace for the first 4 minutes, then from there I would do incline 7, easy pace, 1 minute going forward, incline 4, moderate pace, 2 minutes, going backward, back to incline 7, easy pace, 1 minute, going forward, back to incline 4, moderate pace, 2 minutes, going backward, and so on for the entire 45 minutes. I am dripping in sweat and burned more calories than I ever have on the elliptical. So, whatever I do, from this point on, I will change what I am doing every couple of minutes. You can do this even if you are doing walking outside. Do a moderate pace for 2 minutes, brisk pace for a minute, and so on. She taught me that if you just keep your heart rate at the exact same for your entire workout you don't burn as many calories because it is building up tolerance, so to speak. But, if you keep changing the intensity of what you are doing and your heart rate keeps changing you are going to burn more calories. I guess I just proved that with the elliptical.

Hope everyone else is having a GREAT workout day.

Here is my Saturday results:

65 minutes walking burned, per my HRM, 645 calories

12 glasses of water so far today but will easily get in another 5-6 before bed.

Sunday results are:

62 minutes of walk/run intervals burned, per my HRM, 759 calories

My results for week 2 are as follows:

742 minutes exercised, 530 are cardio minutes, 60 are strength minutes, and 152 other minutes
I burned 10,502 calories this week and I drank 17-18 glasses of water each day!

We did it everyone, we finished our second week! What a great week it was everyone, well done! On to week 3 we go, tomorrow. I look forward to seeing the results, by tonight, of those that choose not to do it daily.

Keep it up one and all, we will be half way through this challenge next weekend and everyone has taken it on with a vengence.

Ok end of week 2....I did not meet the goal because of my end of year graduate school responsiblities. During week 3 of the challenge I will be travelling to two conferences and may have some issues getting in my workout. I will try a vegetable only week. So here is what I burned.

Monday - 626 cardio 120 minutes
Tuesday - 525 69 minutes
Wednesday - 315 60 minutes
Thursday - 694 96 minutes
Friday - 404 35 minutes
Saturday - 513 130 minutes
Sunday - ??? Went shopping and did not keep track of calories burned

TOTAL = 3077
I drank more water this week and will keep this up through the challenge. I hope I am not kicked out because this has pushed me more than I have ever pushed myself.

1crazymom

Only 27 minutes in today.(my lowest since we started, only excuse I can think of is I was lazy) 12 8oz glasses.
Took my boys to an Easter egg hunt/ party. Ate a Heath bar.............UGH! They had fun! The baby actually piced up eggs and put them in the bag! They grow up way too fast.
My totals for the week 455minutes, 2891 calories according to MFP.(never log strength, not sure how to calculate? Shred is both, so is my gazelle when pulling/pushing, and I walk on the treadmill with 1 lb weights) Usually 12 8oz glasses a day never lower than 8 glasses.
Sure we all had a great week! Thanks Tracie for the info and for the Push Yourself Challenge!:)

hawkeyegal1995

Made it to the end of week 2--woo hoo!

For Sunday:
45 minutes elliptical
37 minutes-cycling (would have been longer but then it started raining and I turned back)
60 minutes-other -cleaning and picking up branches in the yard.

Got in the 8 glasses of water too!

Totals for the week: 880 minutes of exercise and 7008 calories burned (when I wear my HRM).

I need to try and step up on the strength training....that will be my goal for the next week since the weather will keep me stuck inside if they have the forecast right. I may have to set the bike back up on the training stand if I want to ride. Plus, I really need to work on my mindset-been eating way to much since I figure I have been working out so much more so I have been undermining all my efforts!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Good evening guys! In keeping with this challenge, I really pushed it tonight. After my run I was rationalizing with myself with I did not have to do P90X (It was late, I was tired, I had already run, and I could do in the morning and skip Plyo) and then I realized ... nope... I promise that I would do it and I did. I promise half the video... and that is what I did!

So my burn for today is

4 mile run + 1/2 P90X CST = 1230 calories

TracieJ65

Don't forget we have started week 3 and to post everything on that thread now!
