Hi!
I did L1D8 of my 30DS! I also did 45 minutes of walking! :happy:
Kitchen closed , but it's Friday night. It's my drinking night. :drinker: I have more than enough calories left over to get a good buzz. So, I plan on drinking, but not eating. Not sure if that counts or not as a closed kitchen. :ohwell:

young9

friday: got in my walk..50 minutes today at lunch and i did my squats.

kitchen will be closed shortly. don't have time to log all my food but i kept track at work today in a notebook so i'm good. i kept enough calories to enjoy a glass of wine. we are having a fire pit and dh will be drinking so i wanted to have something

my aunts funeral tomorrow so i'll try to be good with my eating but we are having a family dinner so i might splurge..just a little

Okay ~ Saturday has been busy! Bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee today! Well .. not brand new .. new to me! LOL!

Anyway ... I did my 30DS this morning. L1 D9! Woot! Only 30 mins though ... :-/

Kitchen is closed. I made it under calorie limit, but just barely. That's okay though. It's the weekend and I will be all real good come a week day!

Hope y'all are having a great weekend!

circusmom

For Saturday:
Cardio: rest day
Strength: 25 squats with 35lb barbell
Kitchen: closed at 8pm, just barely

Ugh, missed morning walk cause I didn't get to bed til after midnight. Then missed evening walk cause it is pouring down rain, so I guess today will be my rest day for cardio.

Tomorrow we are either going to Aquatica or Adventure Island, either way, it's time for some family fun time!!!! Hope everyone enjoys thier Sunday!!!!

young9

well, it was a tough day. my favorite aunts funeral. i didn't get anything in today. no walk, no squats and i didn't keep track of my food but i was pretty upset all day and didn't eat much anyway. i'll get all my tears out by bedtime and be back and ready to go tomorrow.

Morning Team Red!!! here is the next week's challenge:

Exercise Challenge(7/27-8/3):

Cardio: Lets keep it at 4 days this week ladies. Add Jumping Jacks 10 sets of 10 a day x4 days( you can easily do these in between commercials on T.V. or while cooking or all at once)

Strength: Push-ups 5 sets of 5 per day x 4days. And there are so many variations (full, from the knee, standing, desk, etc)


Food Challenge(7/27-8/3):

Recipe challenge- for this challenge we will each submit a Dinner recipe to our team thread, you will receive 1 point for this, take a vote on your team and then submit the best Dinner 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(7/27-8/3):
How do you handle the struggles of being the weight you are in your family?


Sleep Challenge:(7/27-8/3):
Get atleast 7.5 hrs of sleep per night x 4 nights

“It’s not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight, but if you are sleep-deprived, meaning that you are not getting enough minutes of sleep or good quality sleep, your metabolism will not function properly,” explains Michael Breus, PhD, author of Beauty Sleepand the clinical director of the sleep division for Arrowhead Health in Glendale, Ariz.


Tip of the week:
Cayenne Pepper
In the past five years cayenne pepper has been used in fat burners. Why you ask? Well, cayenne has thermagenic (heats up your body) properties. When your body has to cool itself down it requires calories to do so. Thus, creating a fire for your metabolism.


*Each Team member will recieve one point for each challenge they meet this week and your team will earn a bonus point if everyone completes there challenges.
*A Point will also be awarded to the team with the highest weightloss for the week.

Post your victories daily and please remember to add up your points for next wednesday.
