SAHMU Challenge Week 4
Cardio:
Your Normal Routine x3 days
Dance!!! Dance with your kids, your Husband or by yourself. Have fun with it! x1 day
Try something New! - be it take a class somewhere, try a new workout video, give running a shot, etc. etc x 1 day
Strength:
Step ups x 3 min a day x 4 days (How many can you do in 3 min?)
Different Heights Work Different Muscles
A basic height step works the hips and thighs. A higher step works the hamstrings harder, while a lower step targets the quadriceps. However, the basic height for a step obviously differs from person to person, depending on the person's height. To set a step to work your leg muscles to the max, you want to be able to easily place your leading foot flat on the step. When you bend the leading leg at the knee so that your thigh is parallel to the ground, the foot of your other leg should be able to touch the ground while still keeping the heel elevated. Basically, your step up should not be higher than your knee when you stand in front of it.
Food Challenge:
Give something Up for one week! Make it good ladies, something you really enjoy!
Relaxation Challenge:
Do something for yourself this week that has nothing to do with food. Take a bubble bath or read a book or give yourself a manicure. Almost like a congratulations for the hard work we have put in.
Emotional Challenge:
Is there someone in your life that has affected you in a negative way and has contributed to your weight gain? How will this change once you have become more confident and learn to Love yourself.
A special thanks to MichelleLydia,Purplefly,sisa2324,Jwlzboatie, and Lovenevrnds. You all made this challenge this week! You are awesome!0 -

Wednesday Weigh ins:
Starting: 261
Starting SAHMU: 241
Week 3 weight: 234.6
Weekly +/-: O
Total +/-: 26.4
Goal: to lose more weight! LOL! At least I didn't gain. Although I was completely honest with myself last night and I know the reason I didn't lose was because I was feeling lethargic. I think what you were all saying to me last week (re: cheat day post) about not eating enough calories was true, it just took a few days for the message to sink in. But it wasn't just that: I barely drank enough water last week, I routinely forgot to take my vitamins and my workouts were less than 100% committed. I'm pretty sureI can blame all of this on the lethargy caused by inadvertanly depriving my body of the nutritents it needs. So, I'm turning over a new leaf (ro, should I say, I'm turning over the originl leaf again?). My goal for this week is to eat a fuller, balanced diet, drink tons of water and take my vitamins every day. In turn that should help renew my enrgy for exercise as well as my general outlook. Look out Belly Fat - I'm coming for ya!!!0 -

Lynda,
I think you are so right about meeting your calorie goal daily, I sometimes have to just force something down and it does he;p me get energized. I believe you will lose weight next week if you do these things you talk about. I know that you are commited so I know that isn't the problem. Here's to kicken some **s next week!

Look at the scale up by 7.4 , is that possible? Was my older scale not working? I have done everything possible, I dont know where the scale would go... I have reached the maximum possible, next week the scale would definitely going down..Till date, I was always at 155lbs, have never gone above that... I am feeling sick from past 2 days, dont know whats going wrong... Gosh, look at that difference, even if I am bloating, would it add so much?
This week's goal- 160lbs...I am starting again... But yes, it will happen...0 -

That doesn't seem possible, maybe your scale was off before. Don't worry about it you are awesome and you do everything you can! You inspire me to push harder everyday! Yes the dance challenge made me think of you!0 -
I might not be on much for the next few days. I just heard that my maternal grandmother passed away last night. less than a month after my paternal grandma passed. I will still be logging food/exercise on my phone cuz I use the app for that, but if I'm less chatty on here that's why. Doesn't mean I'm abandoning the team tho. Just gotta take care of family.

I am so sorry Lynda, take care of yourself and your family. We are here whenever you need us. I don't know if this will help or hinder but I think when older people pass away in such a close time frame they where true soulmates.0 -
