    And here is this week's challenge....

    SAHMU Challenge Week 5

    Cardio:
    Set a week Goal for yourself this week and achieve it! Your goal can't be under 2500 calories burned. We have to push ourselves.(I got this from another challenge on MFP and thought it was great!)

    **The Team with the highest Calories burned this week gets an extra point!!

    I made another spreadsheet for this challenge please enter in your calorie burns there daily along with your goal.
    https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnwPqv9GV3KzdEF1LXBGRGZHMzlvVGNrdk5WTXJKbFE&hl=en_US

    Please remember to post on your thread how you burned your calories and how many you burned each day, I think this will give us all some new ideas.

    Strength: Possible 6 points per person just for this challenge!!
    Day 1 Challenge - 50 Leg Raises (each side)
    Day 2 Challenge - 40 Squats
    Day 3 Challenge - 50 situps or ab crunches
    Day 4 Challenge - 40 "Up & Downs"
    Day 5 Challenge - 25 Pushups
    Day 6 Challenge - 25 Lunges
    Day 7 Rest!! You deserve it!!
    *You can do these in any order you would like.


    Food Challenge: Healthy Kids Meal
    Recipe challenge- for this challenge we will each submit a Kids Meal recipe to our team thread, you will receive 1 point for this, take a vote on your team and then submit the best Kids recipe to our main thread, we will then all vote for the best recipe on the main thread and the team with the most votes will receive 1 extra point for this challenge. (the catch is you cannot vote for your own team). Remember to include the nutritional content in your receipe.

    Emotional Challenge:
    What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude?


    ****On a separate note....lets set a team yellow goal. Can we try to post ALMOST daily updates of what we are doing?? This would tie in fairly well with this weeks challenge, since we are supposed to report how we are getting our calorie burn and since there are 6 different strength challenges. Just thought that we need to liven up our board a little, and thinking that I need a little motivation to keep updating.*** (i'll start by posting my workout for today)

    Wednesday August 17th...

    30 DS=210 calories burned
    Day 1 of C25K=270 calories burned
    Total=480 calories burned
    50 sit-ups or crunches done (as a part of 30 DS)

    I am going to set my calorie goal at 3000 calories, which will be a little bit of a stretch. That means that I have to do 30 ds and something else everyday...but i've been feeling pretty good during the 30 ds lately so i'm hoping that I can do it.
    Good luck ladies. Lets have another strong week!

    Hi ladies, i'm terribly sorry I haven't been posting. Our family is kind of in crisis mode right now. My mother in law fractured her spine several weeks ago and I have been taking her to her appointments. A few days ago she mixed her vicodin with her blood pressure meds and became very, very ill. She was literally sick for over 24 hours and is still recovering from it. She refused to go to the hospital so we had to take her to urgent care and she is doing a bit better but she is still in a lot of pain because she is afraid to take her pain meds now. I have a couple of points but I don't have many, and I haven't weighed in a few days. I'll go hop on the scale right now but I don't think it will look very good. I will do better this week, I promise! I feel so bad!

    SAHMU Challenge Week 4

    Cardio:
    Your Normal Routine x3 days
    (8/10)-20 min. stationary bike, 20 min. elliptical
    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
    (8/13) Danced at Harvest Cruade with my family! :0)
    Strength:
    Step ups x 3 min a day x 4 days (How many can you do in 3 min?)
    (8/11) 61 step ups in 3 minutes
    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!
    (8/10) I give up chocolate chip cookies for one week

    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.
    (8/10) My mom has been kind of hard to deal with while I try to lose weight. She tells me I am ok where I am, and I will look too skinny if I lose weight, etc. etc. etc. She moved across the country 2 years ago and I don't see her very often anymore so I don't get the negative comments so often anymore.

    Carissa-- you need to enter your weight for week 4 ( that was today). You started on week 3, so you're 164.2 for last week and your starting weight... what were you at today?

    Carissa-- Good for you!!! Even with all the stress going on, you're still managing to lose.... and you're keeping your head above water. That's a huge accomplishment in itself! :) We're here for ya, chicky...

    Ok!! I'm totally with Steph-- we need to liven this place up!! I put my calorie burn goal at 5000.. but that's not counting any house stuff either. I didn't want to mess up my calorie counts at the end of the day because I'm already set at lightly active.. and adding the other stuff makes my brain hurt. Although, I guess I could just use the database too.. Ugh. Of course, if my HRM shows up and tells me my counts have been way off, I'm jiggered! AND-- next Monday is when I start to have daycare kids again, TOM is due, and we're going away this weekend... :noway:Oh crap. I may need some encouragement!!

    I got in 714 cals yesterday, doing 30DS, and then a 3 mile (Fastmiles with 5 lb weights) walk at home dvd. I was sweatin' a bucket by the end! I STILL have mowing that needs to be done outside too... so maybe today.

    I am sorry that I have been MIA right now. I have alot of things going on in my life right now. My platelets are up and my stomach is hurting really bad so I haven't been doing much on here. I am sorry for that. I am lactose intolerance right now and my other results haven't come back yet so I don't know yet.

    August 17th: All I got done yesterday was walking as I wasn't feeling well.
    August 18th: Step ups and weights 10mins almost 11 (34 calories)

    You need to look after you-- please don't have any guilt about not being on here. You're having a hard time now, and we're here for ya! ( and I just realized that I made my other comment to you to Carissa instead!! Nuts!) It's all a process, and taking a few days for you is more important. Good for you for getting in some stuff today!

    Cindy- I totally agree with Elaine. Get your rest when you need it, you'll be a lot better off in the end.

    Workout for today...
    30 ds- 210 cals
    Run/walk-290 cals
    Total around 500

    Have to work my strength in yet, but have been counting 30ds as some of those.

    How about the rest of our team? How are your calorie burn goals going??
