    Karen- we do not weigh in this challenge thank goodness :laugh: woohoo 85 pts!:drinker:

    I did 125 minutes of exercise and I did the dancing and stayed under sodium wow that was a miracle!:noway: So my points are 75.

    Shari- 55pts!:drinker:

    Bobbie- woohoo!!!! 60pts:drinker: You are exactly right to blame it on the exercise it really does make you eat more and studies have proven this. That's where we get the phrase "working up an appetite" they showed in the studies that people when allowed to eat to contentment after exercise consumed more calories than they had actually burned during the exercise, probably because the body also accounted for the calories burned after the exercise, too.

    Wow this team is rockin' it!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

    Well so I started my day dancing with my daughter this morning just clowning around and we ended up dancing a whole 90 minutes! That was awesome and it actually kept me pretty hype and happy all day. That is till I looked at my sodium count, it was way over by lunch. I had a SAFEWAY select soup tomatoe basil, OMG delish! 55 minutes between work so I walked for 25 minutes. I still feel pretty good though.

    @ Bobbie good job eating something you really wanted instead of the other crap. You can feel real good about that choice.

    Have great day tomorrow ladies!

    Thanks ladies! These challenges and your support, not to mention the requirement of being honest with myself in my food diary have made these decisions easier to make :-)

    Well, unless I can count the leg press machine, we're not getting any squats out of me quite yet...knees do not appreciate them. Having said that, here's my check-in: 50 minutes bike, 20 minutes weight circuit, and 15 minutes walking. Oh yeah, and under carbs.

    Total: 45 pts.

    I was over on carbs, sorry team :( I did the skater squats. I have a really bad barbeque. I can't really walk away from it, but I can stand nearby and do squats and lunges and jumping jacks, etc. My neighbors are going to have me committed one day! I walked 63 minutes, (5 miles), 45 minutes calisthenics (not counting my bbq time!), 35 minutes with the weights,143 minutes exercise.

    Maybe it's just me, but I think I preferred it when we were focusing on one area with the exercise challenges. All of this switching back and forth is not working for me, and I'm doing less and less of them, even though my regular activity levels are staying up. Sorry team...just something I'm gonna have to work through I guess. Like today, my arms and chest were hurting from the past two days on the weight circuit, not to mention my legs from the bike, so I swam because it helps me stretch them out so long as I don't go for olympic fast. Guess I need to just stop whining.

    Check-in: 40 minutes of swimming and, even with the ice cream I'm about to eat, still way under calories.

    Total: 25

    Wednesday check in: Under calories! That truly is a big deal for me on my off day. 125 minutes of exercise, 50 dumbbell rows. Wednesday so far are my best days for working out, that may change in October. Tomorrow is my birthday Aug 25 but I'm not celebrating till Saturday, (maybe.) Have a great Thursday.

    Yesterday I had 70 min of exercise including the dumbell rows and I was under calories so that is 45pts for me. I will check back in later this morning to see if Shari checked in I hope she is okay.:flowerforyou:

    Thursday's Challenges:

    Thursday
    Nutrition - Under Fat
    Exercise - Superman pose - 5 reps, 30 seconds each (http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=191)

    Today's challenge is pretty tough to hold 30 seconds but I did it! Have a great day ladies and I will post the link to week 5 as soon as I get it from Jen. We will need to decide on a rest day for next week. I vote for Monday that will be my first day of school and I know except for some walking I will be dead tired.
