Great job this week! Especially since you were all so sick!!! Your points and weigh in for next week should be fine. Don't worry about it. I will have this weeks challenge up in a few minutes!0 -

It is totally ok Louie! You have been doing such a great job! I had a one lbs gain and then stayed at the same weight for two weeks, and this week I have lost 3 whole lbs. Just sick with it, the important thing with this challenge is that we stick with it and don't get discouraged by no loss. Hang in there! And great job this week on points, you are awesome!0 -

Ooop! I thought I posted this already!!
WEEK 7 Challenge:
(Karie, please add a week 7 section to the calorie spreadsheet. I'm not familiar with google docs and I'm scared I'll screw it up. lol!)
Nutritional Challenge:
Calcium – meet or exceed your calcium goal every day. Worth 1 point
Strength Challenge:
Build muscle tone in your arms as well as bone strength to help prevent osteoporosis
http://www.besthealthmag.ca/get-healthy/fitness/8-arm-exercises-for-women
Complete full workout (all 8 exercises, 3 x a week, with one day’s rest in between workouts) each workout = 1 point for a maximum of 3 points.
Added bonus, keep this as part of your routine to see some serious definition within 4-6 weeks!!
Cardio Challenge:
Burn Baby Burn! Cardio this week is all about stairs, stairs, stairs! Did you know that jogging up and down stairs for 5 minutes burns approx 130 calories? Add some stairs into your normal routine. 5 minutes x 3 days this week (do it on your rest days from the strength challenge!) each workout = 1 point for a maximum of 3 points.
(If stairs are too high impact substitute another exercise that burns a similar amount that is outside your regular routine. I just like stairs because it's such a fast way to burn a decent chunk of calories)
Calorie Challenge:
Set your goal in the spreadsheet created by Karie don’t just meet it, exceed it! If you’re up for a challenge, increase your goal by 5% from last week. Remember something as simple as running those stairs will significantly boost your calories for the week = 1 available point
Emotional Challenge:
We’ve all been working hard for weeks. We’ve all lost weight. And hopefully, we all feel empowered by our demonstrated self control, we feel connected to our fellow SAHMUers and we feel optimistic about the future. But at the same time, I’m willing to bet we all have moment’s where we feel like giving up. Why? Because this is HARD!!! So this week’s challenge is to write yourself a note. Something short and sweet that you can keep in your wallet, or stick to your mirror, something you can pull out to remind yourself of how far you’ve come. Think of that girl you were before starting your weight loss journey. Think about how much better you feel now and give yourself a freaking compliment! Cuz you deserve it!!! Worth 1 point.
Commitment Challenge:
Log on to MFP every day! Check in on the calorie burn spreadsheet daily once you have completed your workouts. Keep on track of your points and report in daily to show all your fellow teammates how committed you are to your team (not to mention making it easier on your captain to add up the final tally)! Post an encouraging note on the main thread or your team thread everyday! Report daily 7 days a week to earn 1 available point.
Total Available Points: Max 10
Nutrition – 1 point
Strength – 3 points
Cardio – 3 points
Calorie – 1 point
Emotional – 1 point
Commitment – 1 point0 -
I am just having one of those days that just starts off on the wrong foot and I can't seem to get back in the right frame of mind. This morning's weigh in, and the arrival of TOM are certainly not helping matters. Thanks Tasha for your encouragement. :-)
Will we have a spreadsheet for points again? I found that very helpful in keeping track. :-)
You guys are great, keep at it !0 -

Yes, I will be making a new spreadsheet for this week, I will post the link tonight.
I hope your day gets better. I bet your discouraging weigh in this morning was because of TOM, I always gain 2 lbs with TOM and magically it is gone within a day of the end.0 -
Wishing you girls luck this week! I know that everyone will do great. I'm keeping an eye on you!!0

Happy Thursday everyone!
I have been working hard on cleaning my house today, and chasing my little man around! He is 15 months today and has a TON of energy!!!! Probably won't make it to the gym today, but I am burning nonetheless! I am also hoping to do the strength training today.
Does anyone have any fun plans this weekend?!?!0 -
Right guys I'm off on holiday! Hope you all have a great week and i'll catch up when I get back! :-)0

NSV - My Mother and Father in law are visiting with us for the weekend. When they got here we were talking for a little bit. I stood up to get some water and my Mother in law looked and me and said "You have lost weight, you look great!!!". It felt awesome to have her notice!! YAY!!!
On another note - Ate a lot today, feeling a little bloated from the food, but I was still under in my cals and only over by 5g on my fat. Not great, but not all together terrible either!0 -
I just realized that I didn't post yesterday...there goes that point. And I know I am posting late today, but really I've only been home for about 15 minutes! I had to drive to the north end of CO to pick up my son from his dad's house after I got off work. I am so thankful for a 3 day weekend!
I hope you all had a good day today!0 -

Sorry all.... been away from the computer all weekend! Went on a mini vacation, and came back to find that there is a fire in the next town over. On top of that, my fence decided to try to fall over. EEK! Hope everyone had a better holiday weekend than I did!0

Karie!
We have mostly been on vacation. Louie's computer broke and she hasn't been able to do more then lost her calories because she can use her phone. Nathalie is on vacation until Friday and I have been on vacation too. I can still check in every once in a while though. =D0 -
