Last weekend was the last time I "take a break" from my eating plan. I am up 2.4 lb (sorry). I did lose 6 out of the 8 lbs I gained over the weekend. Not sure how much was water, but I have to get back on plan...goal to lose 2.5 lbs a week for the next year. Back to work.....0

Water - over! +1
Food - logged and was over before I exercised... cheat day today! But then I exercised and I am under calories... didn't do so well on the fat though. +1 anyways!
Challenge - complete! +1
50 squat kicks *modified exercise for burpees*
300 crunches *yeah, that's RIGHT, I brought it tonight!!!
50 wall push-ups
50 jumping jacks
50 leg raises
3 sets of 12 woodchops w/weights *I am really liking these now and adding it to my routine
10 minutes of stretching/yoga positioning
So I've completed my personal crunch challenge of 1000... plus the 100 from today's challenge so I've done 1100 crunches this week! I NEVER in my life thought I would hear (type) myself say that. I can still add 200 more tomorrow, too.
Good night!
Man, you are kicking *kitten*! Everyone else is doing great too!
Today's 2 miles challenge-done
Water-done
Within calories-done
Will complete my 75 remaining crunches by tomorrow to bring my total to 250 for the team for the week.0 -
Welcome to Saturday everyone!!!
I plan on doing some deep cleaning of my house - top to bottom. I also plan on doing 200 more crunches towards my personal challenge. (I hit 1000 last night on top of the crunches for our challenge this week so these 200 are just extras.)
I am also waiting on my package from FedEx that has my new Jillian Michaels' shred-it with weights, a new set of slightly heavier weights, and a kettlebell! As soon as I get it, I am popping it into the DVD player and trying it out!
I hope for a good burn today!0 -

I'll commit to 500 Jacks, 200 crunches and 5 extra miles...at the least. :happy:0 -
Girl, you amaze me!
Awww thanks... and hey, can she do my portion of jumping jacks?! LOL I HATE them so much!!!
Okay, so I did 40 windshield washers - I started with the modified knees bent version and did 20.... then realized I could do the REAL ones so I did 20 of those! I did 150 crunches.0 -
Wow! Well I can certainly do:
* 1, 200 = 200 jumping jacks per day for 6 days
* 200 crunches
* 5 extra miles
* Striclty commit to C25k this week
It will be challenging because I like to take care of my family but we only have 9 days to go.
I truly want to inspire my boyfriend and daughter this week. Everytime I am working out, they look at me and say "Wow, nothing will stop you! I will stop inviting you out to eat so much and let you do your workout!"

Well it's funny you should say that...I have to take back my commitment to 200 crunches. I'm having some tailbone issues and it's really painful to do them. I'll up my jumping jacks to 750 in return.
So for today:
Water-check
Food logged and within-check
Daily challenge-check
Did 1.1 miles towards my five (on top of my regular workout)
200 jumping jacks done, some I did as squat jacks to make them harder.0 -

WEEK 4 DAY 1-
Team:
I apologize for slacking off a little. Bare with me! Please I had to do 3 weeks worth of laundry yesterday. I spent three hours! :sad: I was racing myself to finish fast. I finished at 10:30 pm. I got home at 5pm, cooked dinner, fed the family, got ready and left to the laundry room and was stuck there. I burned 404 calories but not because of a workout.
Anyways, stop with the whining! I will certainly make this up on Sunday or squeeze it in before the week ends.
I committed and I am doing this.
*under calories
*72oz+ water
*250 Jumping Jacks
*125 Wall push ups
*15 squats WHAT? I always do like 100+ with brazilian butt lift
These workouts I managed to do during my restroom breaks because I knew I would be a Cinderelly in the evening.
The positve thing is that my family will have fresh clean clothes for the next 3 weeks. Boy my kids & hubby have tons of clothes.
TEAM I WILL SURVIVE & I WILL BEAT THIS CHALLENGE! :drinker:0 -

Hi everyone,
For the first time all month I took a rest day in the middle of the week. I really hurt my bad knee at the gym last night (or when I got home, I don't know). I woke up with it throbbing and I could hardly walk. If it continues tomorrow, I need to see my doctor.
I'll update you tomorrow.

Sorry team, I failed miserably yesterday. Was waaaaaaaaaaaay over on calories and didn't do the daily challenge. 0 points for me for yesterday.
But I have a question, if do yesterday's challenge today, does that still count?0
