    Hi Everyone..

    Sorry I haven't been on.. can only access MFP when at work.. Monday - Friday (was not here for two days).. I use my BB app to and make sure I keep track of my food and calories..

    OK so we on day 4..
    Monday I did the jumping jacks, on Tuesday I walked my 1.6km (1mile) and painted the bathroom (didn't log that as I am not sure how many calories that would burn), yesterday I did 50 sit ups.. so today its the "up and downs".. wow I checked out the link.. its going to take me a while to do them.. but will do them when i get home..

    I've been under my calories so feeling really proud of myself.. I drink lots of water everyday.. don't always remember to put that in, cause it is so automatic for me.. I walk around with a 750ml bottle all day and drink around 4 bottles every day.. (had kidney stones twice before so I keep the water coming all day long just in case) ...

    I think that was all I needed to report back on.. if there is anything I missed.. PLEASE email me.. give me a kick or something.. hahah... dames.louisa@gmail.com

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

    OK Folks!! I did it - well - part of it! 10 down - 30 to go. It wasn't bad! I did them MUCH slower than the guy on the link. Still got me out of breath and got the heart rate up!!

    Additionally... Gary6030 posted the following:

    AUGUST CHALLENGE: If you have bad knees here is an alternative for the ups and downs exercise. 100 Toe Touches. Stand up straight arms straight above your head. Take your right hand down and touch your left foot. Alternate the left hand to right foot. Stand up Straight that = 1. Do 100 of those and you are set for today.! PUSH YOURSELF TO DO MORE!!! Your big weigh in is right around the corner. Its crunch time people. You are stronger than you believe so go go go go!

    YOU CAN MODIFY - NEVER FORGET!!! We are not out to get injured - we are out to get HEALTHY!!!

    Thanks for those that reported last night! Everyone have a GREAT DAY!!!

    Water burpees completed. Float face down in deep enough water so you can not touch. Draw knees to chest, and with arms turn your self onto back (face up) Straighten legs. Take a deep breath, draw knees to chest and using arms turn your self over to face down, straighten legs, tuck up legs, and turn over again and breath. This uses mega core muscles and man do you get tired easily. When you go from face down to face up, do not roll from back to front via the side, but like a pendulum with the most verticle position with tucked feet and legs, with feet pointed down to bottom and top of the head facing the sky.

    If this does not count as burpees then I am out of luck for the day as we are out camping in the woods, and I am exhaused from canoeing, paddeling, and lots of swimming and portaging. I will only have internet for about 10 min each day... No cell phone service up here in the wilderness.

    All water consumed and will be consumed, and all food planned and will go under calorie limits.... and exercise will be all day long and well into the evening.

    I never did find out if the total calories must be under the suggested limit, or net calories under the limit.

    Untill tomorrow if I can get cell phone service.

    Good evening all

    I'm under my calories for the day, however I did not eat as clean as I would have liked to. I completed my 40 ups/downs and have drank 9 glasses of water. I was only have to complete 30 minutes of the P90X Yoga it is very very very hard. So I did Zumba scuplting DVD in addition. I hope everyone had a good day.
