What are you doing to get bikini ready? 30 day shred 6x per week: 5k training 5x per week; push up challenge
Do you have a bikini picked out yet? Nope, but I'd love to go shopping if I hit my goal!!
Hey! Momof3babes
I saw that you're doing the 30 day shred 6x a week and I was listening to one of Jillians podcast and she reccomended going the shred at most 4 times a week. Because you need your muscles to relax in between days so they have a chance to rest and build:)
I'm going the pushup challange as well! What week are you on? My friend and I are finishing the first week today !0 -
Ok- my starting weight is 168.8. I'm not happy about it but that's what the scale said. My goal to get down to 150 lbs is going to be one heck of a challenge is such a short amount of time but I am determined to get there!!
I had a half day yesterday so with my extra time I did Level 1 of 30 Day Shred, Level 2 of Ripped in 30, 5 of 6 circuits of Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism and took my dog for a 45 minute walk. I am so happy I found this thread- just the motivation I need!0 -
What a great group ladies, I'm so excited for all of us!! I'll start working on our little excel layout that I'll be posting. In the meantime, get eating healthy, drinking lots of H2O and working out!!!!
I am so EXCITED!!! I am taking the slow boat to losing weight and it is working for me. I did the 30 Day Shred challenge and it worked well for me. I am hoping this is motivation too.0 -

I didn't realize it was only 4 days...oops! Do you have a good push up challenge you would recommend?0 -
Hey girls- thanks for that info.I didn't realize at all that 4 days/week was recommended. I guess I will need to back off a day or 2. I haven't started the push up challenge yet. Still looking around. Do you recommend one? I'd really like to tone up these arms!0

Hundredpushups.com is the challange. It'll probably take me about 7-8 weeks to complete, so it's a greAt time to start now! Even doing the challenge starting with girl pushups is great too.Whoever is interested we can all record our progress and motivate each other on here! Pushups work more than your arms! Sick core and legs WO too Look up all the benefits, it has "beach bod" written all over it!:) I just finished week one today with a partner!

This is great- I actually ran for 17 minutes yesterday. I'm not much of a runner but I love the calorie burn and the burning in my stomach. It's such a great feeling! We can do it ladies- BIKINI READY here we come!0

I've been doing pretty well this past week. I've been staying under my calorie goals and I've been eating plenty of food. I've ust noticed the healthy stuff is way less than the crap I usually eat. I didn't realize how many empty calories I was eating by eating a small bag of chips or eating two cookies with my subway sandwich. Just by cutting that out I've been fitting into my clothes much easier. Baby steps ;P
Plus I think all of this will help with roller derby tryouts on Sunday. Cross your fingers!!!0 -

What's DS?
It's Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.
I did another two JM's- Level 2 of 30 DS and Level 2 of Ripped in 30. Feeling great. It's super humid and rainy otherwise I'd go for a walk/run.
Sybil- isn't it amazing how much you can eat when it's all fresh. I just ate a whole green pepper and it's only 25 calories. Mmm... And Good Luck with Derby Tryouts! Those practices are amazing workouts! I have a few friends involved in it.0 -
@Becky Awesome job! keep it up - you will be AMAZED at how quickly you improve with running. I used to hate it, the first time I went running last October I thought I was going to die after 2 ks, now I can happily run ten, it feels amazing when you see how far you've come!
@ Sybil Great job on the eating, I definitely need to pick up the ball on this!
My week is going well - missed my run on Monday but did a good one last night, think I need to be more focused in my strength training to get that definition I'm after, oh and water water water!
How is everyone else going? xx0 -
This week has been great for me - feeling super motivated and energetic! I've done moksha yoga every day for 4 days in a row and I'm aiming to do at least 8 days in a row! My appetite is the lowest it's been EVER, too!
Not ready for the bikini yet, though. Far from it.
Sybil: I haven't had any junk food (with the exception of alcohol :drinker: ) for about 2 weeks and I honestly don't even miss those chips and candies! I do find it becoming more and more difficult to fulfill my minimum calorie intake, though...I never thought I'd be able to say that! Good luck with the roller derby tryouts!
Becky: Keep up the running! I've been thinking about trying the C25k programme for a while; maybe next week I'll start it. I'm nervous, though, as that means I'll have to run in public!
Fromaquizer: Is that you in your profile picture? You look great!
Raquel: I'm going to check out that push-ups link. Thanks! I have to do them a lot for my kung fu training, but I still struggle with it so I could the extra training at home.

Kicked some MAJOR exercise booty today and ate well too. This stomach pooch is shrinking before my very eyes :happy:0
