    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!

    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 point

    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 !

    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.

    Not going to be able to do the commitment challenge as I won't be able to get online for a few days after tomorrow, sorry team! The calcium challenge is REALLY tough as well but will try hard! Emotional challenge is done already, stuck a little note on my mirror that just says 'You're Amazing.' haha. Also going to start wearing my yummy mummy necklace more and tell myself I deserve to be called one!! :-) xx

    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?!?!
