A Lot to Lose Challenge "B-LOSE-ING IT"(team closed)

AmyNVegas

Karen- Me not overdo it?- look at your totals girl you rock! :drinker: 85pts!

I can do just about any exercise now just have to be careful of the hip, my diet really made all the difference once I cut grain and all sugar(except natural in fruits and veggies) my hip is a gazillion times better. Just have to be careful with sudden moves slow and steady wins the race. The elliptical really helps it for some reason I guess it works the muscles but doesn't put strain on it.

Sorry team...I was a total slacker today! I actually didn't think I'd get anything, but I was under carbs, so 5pts for me. I will make up for it the rest of this week...but it looks like the two of u did a great without me.

Good luck today everyone!:flowerforyou:

k2quiere- I did the biking while I was dying my hair.:laugh: Got it cut yesterday then went home and dyed it and washed that gray right outta my hair! So I had 45 minutes with the dye on my hair so I cleaned my bathroom then climbed on the bike for the last 30. But hey multitasking is a women's thing anyway right? If not I don't think I would have had activity other than the daily calisthenics. I am rarely over on carbs I think with exercise it gave me 50 some but I try to keep them around 20-30 effective grams daily so even with my carbs set at 10% I am usually good on carbs.

k2quiere

That's great...I need to dye my hair, but I've been too lazy to go to the store and get some. I also need to get my eyebrows done, but I almost never do it unless I'm getting my hair cut, and I'm not ready for one yet. Might have to pull out the tweezers...ugh!!!

Check-in: 30 minutes bike, 5 minutes elliptical, 25 minutes walking, 20 minutes weight circuit, under calories, and I can't remember what the exercise challenge was for today, but it if happened to be crunches, then I did plenty of them while at the gym. Right now I'm too tired to do even one more thing.

Total: 45 OR 55

cklbrown

Today I jogged 6 miles, 60 minutes, lifted weights 40 minutes and did calisthenics for 50 minutes, totalling 150 minutes. I was under calories and did the lying tricep lifts. Welcome aboard Redladystl!

Redladystl

Thanks cklbrown!

Wednesday check in: Under calories and sodium. Workout 15 minutes treadmill warm-up, 30 minutes circuit training with weights, 105 crunches with 25lb weight ball, 65 minutes elliptical. Didn't do woodchops yet its only 8:30pm in WA state so I still have time. Can somebody tell me what they are.

AmyNVegas

ha ha ha...when i started to read this i had visions of you out riding your bike and could not figure out why you would do that with a bag on your head :laugh: then i figured out you probably had a stationary bike at home

AmyNVegas

Karen:laugh: yep I was riding around the neighborhood in my hair dye LOL no really I have a stationary recumbent bike in my room.

Welcome Shari!!!!!:drinker:

So team we are 5 again:drinker: We welcomed Redladystl yesterday and today we got Paddlemom who will start tomorrow with the new challenge week! Yay team!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Ladies could we get first names if you don't mind? Of course mine is Amy, and I know cklbrown is Karen, Paddlemom you are Shari, Redladystl and k2quiere do you mind giving your 1st names?

k2quiere

My name's at the top of my signature (Bobbie). Glad to hear we are a full team again!

Stats for today r pretty sad, but right now I am pretty sad, so it fits. 40 minutes swimming and under calories.

Total: 25pts

cklbrown

Today I was under sodium and did the torso twists. I drank 144 oz of water. I thought it was Friday so I upped my intake. By tomorrow I should float away! I walked 5 miles (63 minutes), 35 calisthenics, 27 weights, total 124 minutes

AmyNVegas

I did 30 on the bike and 10 in calisthenics including the twists and sorry I was over sodium. So I had 30 pts today.

Redladystl

Ok riding around the neighborhood with a bag on your head that is too funny!!! So today I did the ab twist, 65 minutes on the elliptical but my sodium was way out the box. Sorry guys I did NOT get that one right. I guess that's why I've been downing the water today. 8 1-liter bottles of Arrowhead water so far and I still have 3 more hours of work to go. Can we say bathroom break!

My first name is Chel.

cklbrown

What is the nutrition challenge today? Don't tell me carbs, I just had a bowl of cereal and a nectarine!

AmyNVegas

Here is the link to Week 4! :flowerforyou:

Friday

Exercise - 25 leg raises (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB2oyawG9KI&NR=1&feature=fvwp)

Remember today is water and under carbs that we can get pts for so drink up!:drinker:

Chel- I hear ya on the bathroom break I dread going back to school next week for that very reason. I teach 90 minute blocks so by the end of that 90 min I am running for the other end of the hall where the restroom is between classes. Ugh! Do not miss that in the summer that is for sure!:laugh:

AmyNVegas

Thursday Totals:

AmyNVegas- 30
K2quiere-25
cklbrown- 75

Team Total- 170 :drinker:

AmyNVegas

If anyone wants to join another challenge in addition to this one, MommyNemo is trying to build a 2nd team for the September Tribal challenge. I will be on that team but not captain. If you know anyone who is looking for a team please let me know.:bigsmile:

cklbrown

I was under carbs today. I drank 128 oz of water. I exercised for 188 minutes today, because I really seem to have no life.
I'm on a team already for the Tribal challenge. Hope we will be "seeing" each other!

Redladystl

WHEW!!!!! I am so glad today was a rest day, it has truly been a rough one. I did stay under carbs I believe only because I really didn't get a chance to eat proper today. Drank 135.2 oz of water I think that's about 16 - 8oz cups. I know excersize dosen't count but I walked slowly for about 30 minutes just to get my head together.

AmyNVegas

Ok I squeaked in under carbs thought I was going to go over for sure but when I got my plate last night at Tony Roma's the order of mashed potatoes was barely a half cup so I was able to squeak in under carbs. I had 25 cups of water.:drinker: Salmon and chicken from dinner were salty so I drank plenty of water.

Waiting on a couple totals then I will tally it all up for our total.

Karen your pts are 165
Chel your water was 16.9 cups so I think that is fair to round to 17 your pts are 175
My points were 255 but unless the others check in it won't all count we can only get up to 500 for water so we'll see need to hear from Paddlemom(Shari) our new member and from Bobbie.

As it stands we have 515 points (only counting the 500 allowed for water) so they can add carb points but water is already over.:drinker: Go team we will drink the fat away if nothing else!:laugh:

AmyNVegas

Challenges for today:

Saturday
Nutrition - Under calories (5pts)
Exercise - 50 pushups (modified as needed) (10pts)
and 10pts for every 20 minutes activity

Lets kill it ladies!:drinker:

k2quiere

Is there a week 4 thread up? I was trying to see the exercise/nutrition challenges for this week so I could plan ahead.

Redladystl

Hi ladies.....I hope everybody had a fun and exciting Saturday. I had to work so it was cool. Today I was under calories, I did the 50 push ups modified but I broke them up into 2 sets if 25. I barely got in my 8 cups of water today, seriously I'm sick of water........I NEED A PEPSI!!!! :explode: I'm still at work so I may end up drinking more water. No other exercise today except running to the bus to make my relief point on time. I am a bus driver in Seattle

cklbrown

I was under calories today. I completed the push up challenge. I exercised for 125 minutes. Sorry for the late check in!
