    Ok, so where I stand today for the week.

    I will make up the exercises for yesterday today, so I will have all exercises in.
    I got my water in every day.
    I missed my calories for yesterday.
    I lost .8 lbs.
    I walked 8.5 extra miles for the team challenge.

    If we could get a total for the miles and are only short a few, I can try to get a couple more in today if we need it, but it's not in my plan for today if not. :)

    Congrats to every one for their weight losses! Frg...3 lbs! Awesomeness! SCC...2 lbs...You Rock! Sbanth...you may not have moved the scale....but you didn't gain! Still a WIN!

    SCC88 - I don't think the challenge miles do.

    I have our miles at 75 but that only include numbers from 10 people.
  • Hello Ladies!

    I rocked the challenges this week. I'm so proud of myself!
    So yesterday i was at 8 miles. I drank champagne last night and ate party food so blew it on my calories. Had a date with my son today and ate the best burger in my life but blew it again on the calories until I just rode off 350+ of them. 13 miles today! I don't normally ride on Sunday (rest day)

    So....... 21 miles for me for the week!!! :D

    Water has been good all week and other than yesterday calories have been good all week as well. I'll weigh in in the morning. I was down a lb. a couple daze ago, but then up 3 this morning. I'm very bloated today cuz I started. Grrrrr!

    Did anyone actually watch the woodchops video? or just do what i did - go "OMG I WANT ZUZANA'S BODY" LOL and then have to replay the video :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    What I am really psyced about is I measured last week for the first time. I was 42-38-42-25 (thigh). This week....drum roll please.....40-37-41-23! I may hate the crap out of not being able to feel my legs during these challenges, but they are working on my thighs!

    What was a lot of inches lost! Way to go!

    I'm going to do that this week - I never measure myself.

    BTW team - I PROMISE that I'm going to be perfect on my exercise this week (I missed a day last week). Food on the other hand, well I can't make any promises, but I'll try real hard.

    Sophie - I watched the video, but I didn't want her body because I was thinking "man this young chicky girl must work out a LOT, who has time for this *kitten*! LOL"

    Sophie ~ I am so with you! She has a ROCKING body! But I have to agree with Stephanie, I don't think I care enough to put in that kind of time and effort. :laugh:

    Checking In

    50 Crunches in (don't mind the 1.5 hours while I tried to figure out how to inflate a work out ball)
    50 Kick Squats
    Wood Chops check! "Hey you wood chucks, quick chucking my wood"....whoops sorry wrong topic

    I did some military presses just for the heck of it. Push ups on my newly inflated ball!!!

    Then I danced around my basement like a crazy person hoping that no one could see into the windows. OK, maybe TMI.

    Water - check
    Food - check

    Oh and welcome Diva!

    Well
    Day 1
    100 crunches
    50 squat kicks
    3 sets of 21 wood chops (i think I am dyslexic, I didn't notice it was 3 sets of 12 until I was into my 3rd set LOL)
    1 Beyonce on You tube dance along

    Water Good

    Calories- the devil made me do it. I went way over today. I made casseroles for women at church and I made one for us. I came home and entered the recipe on MFP and all I have to say is Velveeta was made by the devil himself. I will never cook with that crap again.


    Welcome DIVA!

    PS LOL about the ball Stephanie
  • Hello Ladies!

    50 squat kicks and 36 wood chops- check!
    Water- check
    Under calories- check and went to a party tonight- skipped the desserts. I'm proud of me!

    Ok ladies I did 100 traditional crunches and 100 lower ab crunches. would that be 100 altogether or 200 crunches for our goal?

    Either way, I don't mind. I just want to lose another pant size or 2 by my birthday. a little less than 4 weeks away. Is that too ambitious??

    Angel
  • Welcome Diva! Glad to have ya!
