Hello there. Lauranne (pron.: laur-ann) here. Thank you D for setting this challenge up it's the perfect way yo start off the warm weather and Spring. I joined this challenge because I started noticing how laaaaazzzyyy I was getting. This is the exact motivation I was looking for. I live on a ranch in East TX., and have found some great new ways to be active. For example, today I ranch biked instead of mountain biking. The weather was great and I saw beautiful country, plus burned 600+ calories in the process.
Although I don't go to town everyday (25 miles away) one little activity trick I like to do is park as far away from my destination. I feel better knowing I had to take a little trek to get to the door. *Make sure your still in a safe area**0 -

Good evening, everyone! Day one of challenge down!! Some have already posted how they did, and I'm hoping it went well for everyone. Don't forget, your goal for the week is 1800 calories torched... so even if you didn't get it in today, you have time to make it up. In addition, our mini-challenge for tomorrow is to exercise for at least 60 minutes.
I did well today - got in 307 calories and 40 minutes... so, ahead for the week so far if we average 258 calories burned a day.
Tomorrow promises to be a bear of a day. Up early to walk my two pups, then a full day at the office, then I'm hoping for a strength training hour in the evening. Should make for a restful night sleep.
And a few personal comments:
- dcberg - YAY for getting on the ice! Awesome! You're going to blow us all away!
- Jessesgirl - GREAT burn today, especially with the crummy weather!
- l3xii - you got this!!! You can get a jump tomorrow!
-RedMax - as always, you put us to shame! Keep it up!!!!
- And to my collective SAHMs: You all make me laugh, thank you!!
Bring it tomorrow!! 60 minutes bonus challenge is optional, but make sure to start your burn!0 -
My grandkids are the greatest! No way they'll let me NOT meet the challenge...685 today just having fun! How great is that!!0

Just completed Level 1 of the 30 day shred. That workout is no joke. I am making through the 30 days though. I got this!!!0

Thanks for let me be in!!! Today I will be doing 30 min in my bike + Push Circuit 1& Extreme Abs (Chalean Extreme) + some bodyrock.tv workout (I hope you guys know about these workout, if not go to bodyrock.tv and you will see that)!...That's about 400-500 calories burned, I'm a short girl so I don't burn so much
:(:ohwell: ....See you later guys! and Happy Monday!:flowerforyou: 0 -
I had too much going on yesterday to work out but I will make up for it today!0
-
Happy Monday! I like the mini challenge! 60 minutes will equal an even greater calorie burn! My goal for this week is to meet the 1800 calorie burn goal, complete any and all mini challenges, and drink my recommended water every single day this week. I slacked last week with my water intake and can definitely tell the difference. I feel sluggish. Good luck to every one!0

Hello, CHALLENGERS!!!!!
How is it going?? You're two days into challenge, and hopefully have burned (or have plans to burn) about 520 calories by end of day if you're trying to average the total 1800 for the week over each day.
We've also had TWO mini-challenges. One before we even started, and one that challenged you Move It for 60 full minutes today. How did you do???
I slipped in, just barely, but I made it!!
So, ready for bonus challenge number 3?!?!?!?!
(((((((((Drum Roll)))))))))
For Tuesday *and* Wednesday, can you give yourself a total of SIX unique compliments... EACH DAY? So that's a total of TWELVE compliments. They can be about anything that pertains to YOU. Remember, these challenges are optional. You also don't have to post your compliments to this thread, but if you are comfortable - it would be fantastic if you would.
You also have the option to complete all 12 compliments at once, anytime before end-of-day Thursday. Who's up for this mental challenge????0 -

i c this is a very debatable topic. I hear YES you should DEFINITELY eat what you burn and I also hear you don't have to. I never had a problem with eating too many calories. I used to do Michael Thurmand's Six Week Body Makeover and I would only eat about 700 calories a day AND workout and I never ran into a problem with not loosing due to starvation. But hey...I guess I will just take it day by day. If I feel like eating them back I will...if I don't, I'm not going to over eat just to eat off what I've burned. That to me just doesn't make sense. IMHO0 -
Hi
Met the mini today with 70 total mins of exercise, 796 calories. I'm tired now!0 -
I love it!!! And it's definitely something I need practice at! I am well known for being to critical about me!0
-
Was this challenge for 60 minutes total for the day, or 60 minutes at one time? Maybe I met the challenge...maybe I didn't!0

60 minutes total. Can be spread throughout the day.0 -
Hey! I hope it's okay if I follow along too. Meeting specific goals with other people will really help to keep me motivated. I did get in a good burn on Saturday, biking a little over 2 hours, and so far today I've burned about 277 cals. I'm really looking forward to this!0

Thanks.... I just happened to start up again Friday. It's been 8+ months. It's only 1 or 2 nights a week, depending on who might need me!! It's a fun way to burn!!0 -
BTW-- Mini challenge update... 56 mins (391 cals) working out today, so just under, unless you will count the JUNK moving we have to do to get out basement ready for a sump pump installation tomorrow!!
