I hate to be the one to ask but I assume we do both legs to count as one. Sort of like we did the cross over crunches, one on each side was a count of one.
This looks like a really useful exercise that I haven't seen before.0 -

You're absolutely right! One right + One left = One rep.
I think they're based off a ballet position. I vaguely remember that from childhood

GW: Oct 1 = 135
OWL/NEWT: 70
HP (excercie minutes) = Monday to Sunday = 345
Just a 0.2 weigh loss. :-( But I"m okay with that because I've been slowly increasing my weight for the last few months, so even a little loss is a good thing! Thanks Bronenhilary for all your work and ideas and encouragement! This is the first time I've had fun while trying to lose weight!

NEWT: Replace one sugary drink (soda, coffee with creamer, kool-aid, etc) that you would normally drink in a day with a glass of water at least once per day. You earn 5 points for every day you do this at least once (7 days x 5 points per day = 35 points max).
Goodness.... this one will be a REAL challenge for me, I love my diet coke (breakfast, lunch and dinner!)! I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.... Come on everyone, I need major encouragement for this one!0 -

And a NSV - I'm wearing a skirt that I haven't been able to wear since last fall. It's a pencil skirt and until today my waist and hips were too big to allow me to wear it. I tried it on this morning for grins and it fits perfectly! Woohoo! I love shopping in my closet.
Related to this is that the two skirts I bought at the outlets in OBX are too big for me now, and I'll need to get them tailored to fit me! I think I'm gonna wait a bit though. They're really winter skirts, being dark grey (almost black) and dark brown, so I'll wait until November or December to get them tailored, in the hopes that I drop a few more pounds.0 -
Weight: 176.4 (Up 1 lb)
Trying not to let myself feel beat up about it. I worked out an insane amount and TOM is paying me a visit. I had some issues with sodium yesterday and had too much sugar over the weekend but I stayed under my calorie goals every day. I start P90X or Rushfit today. So, let's hope that helps this whole process.
House Points: 3808 (don't expect to see numbers this high again... rode like crazy this past week)
No OWLS or NEWTS this week as I joined in almost to the end of the week. Next week will be a different story!0 -
Weight: 154.2! Finally the scale is moving again! :bigsmile:
