cklbrown

I was under calories. I did the crunches. I exercised 169 minutes.

AmyNVegas

50 min exercise and under calories I even did double the crunches since the challenge on another team was also 50 crunches oh my abs got a workout yesterday! 35pts.

Tuesday
Nutrition - 90% or more of your allotted PROTEIN (this is a new one! Let me know if you need help figuring this out)
Exercise - 50 skater squats (http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=112)

I hate these squats I cannot do a one legged squat sorry guys.

k2quiere

I can't do the squats either, Amy...and I'm not so sure about protein either.

What other challenge are you doing?

AmyNVegas

I'm doing the September Tribal challenge that Gary is heading up. I'm on Kukonda tribe.

AmyNVegas

AmyNVegas

Did 60 min exercise no skater squats just not possible for me to do one legged squats maybe when I lose another 50 pounds. And went over by 1 gm on protein so I guess that counts had to add a scoop of protein to make it. 35pts for me.

k2quiere

So, I only got to do 30 minutes of cardio today during my lunch, but HOLY ISHT, I am over on protein, so that counts, right??? I'm never over on protein, even though I think my percentages are a little skewed, so that is amazing to me.

Total: 15pts

FYI: I got a message from redladystl. She has no internet to be doing more than logging her food and exercise until Friday. She didn't know if we could get the totals from her profile or if we could possibly add them when she's back with us. Either way, she wanted to tell the team that she hasn't deserted us and she is still working hard :-)

cklbrown

Way over on protein. I did the skater Squats, but only exercised 76 minutes. Sorry
I did the bushmen challenge though. Don't you just love Gary? I can't wait until he has us doing 1000 crunches in a week!

justanotherteenagemom

hey everyone! my name's shayna, and i'm the newest to the team. . let me know if you want to know anything about me.

AmyNVegas

Welcome Shayna!:flowerforyou: To get the picture to show in your signature instead of the link you have to change the capital IMG to lower case img at each end of the address, then the picture will show.

AmyNVegas

I sent Chel(Redladystl) a PM hope she can get it. She doesn't have her diary open to friends so I can't see it and I asked her to change the setting so I can and I can get her totals that way or through PM. I told her we are here for her and sent her hugs from us.

I did an hour today and under fat and did dumbbell pullovers and a lot more for the tribal challenge! So 45pts for me.

Karen- I think Gary rocks! He put so much time into the stuff he put out for this week. He and Jen are both amazing to do all this for us. Ok so 1000 crunches in a week I better start building up!:laugh:

cklbrown

I am having the worst day. I did the pullovers and was under fat. I exercised 90 minutes. I am glad tomorrow is not under carbs because I am going to Starbucks to celebrate something. I haven't figured out what yet, but I know I am going to go just need an excuse!

k2quiere

I've seen all of the workout times come in my newsfeed, so they have to be posted on her profile. That would at least be a start, especially since the nutrition ones are only 5pts anyway...she's had some crazy times...I think 95 minutes logged today on the elliptical alone.

My check-in: Not sure what the nutrition one was, but I was under everything except sodium. I also did 120 minutes of bike and walking. Don't remember the exercise challenge and my body hurts too much to even try. Sorry I have been so slack lately...I've really got to work on that.

Total: 60pts

AmyNVegas

Karen- You can celebrate that it is Thursday you know it gets a bum wrap:laugh: Monday gets talked about and Wednesday is hump day and of course Friday and the weekend days are loved by all but poor Tuesday and Thursday really get no attention so I say go to Starbuck's and celebrate Thursday!:drinker:

Bobbie- duh I didn't think of looking at the feed:laugh: You on the other hand are brilliant! :drinker: Thanks for helping with her totals just waiting on Shayna's and I will post our Wednesday totals.:flowerforyou:

OH NO today is the dreaded under sodium I WILL do this!

Thursday
Nutrition - Under sodium
Exercise - 50 Woodchops (25 on each side) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBG7tzX0aT0

k2quiere

Well, considering I had 1000mg of sodium at breakfast...darn bread...I will most likely NOT be under sodium for today, especially since tonight is another eat out night with the colleagues. I will try, but no guarantees on this one :grumble:

AmyNVegas

80 minutes exercise and did woodchops but was over sodium with my new lower goal of 2,000mg:blushing: I am at almost 2100 and still need to get some calories in. Will prob do a protein shake with coconut milk a little later. 50 pts.

k2quiere

Just 20 minutes of walking in...sorry guys, bad day all the way around.

20pts

cklbrown

Happy Thursday. I celebrated it and now the caffeine is keeping me awake! The guy made my drink and then told me to taste it. He tried a new way of making it. It was good, but then he made another one the old way and told me to keep both. I only drank one. That means I'll drink the other tomorrow and be just as wired!

I was under sodium and completed the woodchops. I exercised 131 minutes.

i'm excited for this week! this weekend i'm going to be doing a lot to keep my mind busy. my fiance is going out of town for the first time since our daughter's been born. i hate being away from him. . thank goodness for exercise!

k2quiere

Separation sucks, especially when it's from someone you want to keep close.

Does anyone have a suggestion on our water day??? I don't want to call it rest day because I rarely rest, but I will try to get all the water in that I can. We need to make that decision ASAP.

AmyNVegas

New Week Thread Week 7!:drinker:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/338493-ltl-week-7

AmyNVegas

My vote is a week day just because I have a crap load of meetings next week but I already have to do rest day for Tribal on Sunday so that works too. Bobbie any day you prefer?

k2quiere

Tuesday tends to always a rest day for me, as the boyfriend only has off on Tuesday. Other than that, I have no real preference.

Check-in: 60 minutes of exercise and under carbs

Total: 35 pts

cklbrown

I was under carbs today, but never got to the computer to see the challenge so I didn't dance. I hurt my foot so only jogged 60 minutes. It better be all gone by tomorrow so I can get back in my routine!

Redladystl

HEY LADIES!!!!:bigsmile: I'm back on the thread! Yay! Trying to catch up on the postings, whew I've been gone too long. Man I really miss you guys. I know I sent emails to whomever I could get to first but still I miss this thread.

Thanks ladies for all your prayers, suggestions and, well wishes for my daughter. She is home now and finally getting over the fact that Hampton University is not the place for her. She is looking into going to Eastern WA U which is about 4 hours away or Tacoma Community College 20 minutes away. They both are a relief to me. For some odd reason she does not want to go to the community college which has always been my number one choice. Neither school has started their fall semesters yet.

So to get over all the emotional eating I did, I've been killing the elliptical and workouts the last few days. The workouts has been an awesome stress reliever! Bobbie I know you hate that machine, I used to. I started using it in february and couldn't last 5 minutes, seriously. I was determined to not let it out do me. Its good for the knees, my right knee is jacked up.

I completed week six challenges. My cardio has been 130 minutes daily broken am/pm, not including my strenght and circuit training with weights. Water intake averaging 9/16oz bottles per day adding the crystal light packets to a few. Wondering if I can count running to the restroom as cardio :laugh: ?

I'm ok with whatever day you guys pick as the "water day" I like that better, just post it asap.

Hey Shauna or is it Shana - welcome to the team :drinker: ! The support here is awesome.

Happy weekend Ladies!!! Enjoy:drinker:

{{{HUGS}}} & ***KISSES***

Redladystl

Oh, I noticed we are doing protein now. How does that work?

k2quiere

When you look at your food diary, it says the amount of protein you should have in one day, for the challenge, you need to eat at least 90% of that number.

BTW: Welcome back, and if you want whatever that image is to show up in your signature, change the IMG to img lowercase.

cklbrown

My foot is still bothering me so I only walked 6 miles today, 74 minutes. I was under carbs and did the Squats. If today was a rest day I drank 136 oz of water

k2quiere

I almost forgot about posting today. I messed up and fell asleep when I was supposed to head to the gym, so my only workout consisted of walking the dog, grocery shopping, and cleaning Anyway, I got in 90 minutes of walking throughout the day and I was under carbs. Squats and my knees don't get along still.
