    I just got back from SIGNING UP TO JOIN A GYM!!!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

    I walked 2 miles on the treadmill, did 40 jumping jacks with weights, the 21's, and swimmer's presses.

    I am now home and since I'm already sweaty I am about to get down on the floor and give 150 crunches and those windshield washers!

    Okay Team, Gary has had some stuff going on over the weekend so I will post our exercises today!

    Today is Week 4, Day 1... the challenge is:

    2 sets of 20 Windshield Wipers, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of Swimmer’s Presses

    Windshield Wipers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omeqA3O4DUk
    21's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xLcsg-5Dw8
    Swimmer's Presses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYwzaUXK6gs

    Don't forget, as a team we need to complete 4000 crunches AND 4000 jumping jacks AND 100 miles walked/run/jogged/biked, etc. That is 200 per week for extra crunches and JJ's and 5 extra miles per week.... you also need to inspire someone else in your life to join MFP and get movin'!!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!

    What will you commit to? Who are you going to inspire this week?

    I'll commit to 500 Jacks, 200 crunches and 5 extra miles...at the least. :happy:

    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.

    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!" :tongue:

    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!


    :flowerforyou: :drinker: :happy: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :tongue:

    I don't think I can beat this challenge. I shouldn't think that way! You are great.

    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.

    WEEK 4 DAY 1-

    Team:

    I apologize for slacking off a little. Bare with me! Please :embarassed: 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 :embarassed: 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. :tongue:

    TEAM I WILL SURVIVE & I WILL BEAT THIS CHALLENGE! :drinker:

    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.

    *Does this count? :tongue: (chasing around 1 year old for 50 minutes) my son wouldn't let me watch my daughter's first soccer scrimmage :devil: he wanted to run with the ball. Everyone was amazed by his motor skills for being 16 months.

    Hope you feel better!

    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?
