Did all the was required for today instead of the lunges I did 100 elevated push-ups.....going to bed....

lloydmel

So, I'm feeling better today.

I completed yesterday and today's challenge exercises.... since I didn't do them yesterday....
That was pretty rough... especially considering there were jumping jacks yesterday and today... so I did all of them... whew... those are tough!
So I am pretty proud of myself so I wanted to boast a bit!

I walked/ran 2 1/2 miles
Did 200 situps/crunches (I do a combination of a lot of different things... bicycle crunches, roll-ups, reg crunches, sit-ups, double crunches... etc)
Did 400 jumping jacks
100 mountain climbers
30 lunges (10 extra on each leg)
3 sets of 30s (I did 10 of each range ;-) )
3 sets of 12 woodchops

Whew, I'm finally home. Glad to finally have my computer back and be able to exercise again. I'm going to work my butt off on all those extra crunches tonight.

Right now I only have this data so far, please message me if you've done the stuff and I haven't marked you or if I missed something on yours! It looks a little weird because I copied and pasted it from excel. If there's nothing by your name, its because I don't have any info from you right now! Keep up the great work!

Wednesday - REST BECAUSE THURSDAY ITS GOING TaaaaaRIBALLLLL!!!!!!!!

**Weekly Team Challenge 4000 team crunches, 4000 Jumping Jacks and 100 extra miles! This equals about 200 per team for crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!

Alright, here's my stuff:

Every day, I've hit my water goal- so, mtwt
I got under calories on- m t
Exercise- t(thursday)
Crunches- 100 so far

Hopefully that clear everything up. I've been crazy busy with my family lately... trying just to keep my head above water right now.

chelsea32291

Thanks dear! & I hope things are getting better for you.

Exercises done- MTWT

So far I've done 700 crunches... water down, calories under!

Thanks for your help Chelsea you're doing a wonderful job!!!

VeganInTraining

just wanted to pop in and say hey. I have completed everything for this week and so far have done 700 extra cunches. I WILL complete 300 more by the end of the week but I'm not certain I will have computer access. Also, next week I will not have internet connection so I will be completing all the challenges and reporting at the end of the week. Have a good one everyone!

InfamousQ

hey guys did my share for yesterday and today going to hit the gym again then off to bed!!!!

VeganInTraining

Hope this actually posts this time! As soon as I sign off I will be out of internet service for a week. I printed up all the challenges and will still be doing them so I will report back on Sunday.

Today I completed the miles and water, didn't even try to track my calories b/c I have been on the go all day but I'm sure I'm not under Sorry. Oh and I did 1000 cunches this week! I really hope we make the crunches goal! Have a great week everyone

chelsea32291

Amazing job on the 1000 crunches! You're awesome! Have fun while you're gone!

abyt42

1000 Crunches DONE! Woot. I've gotten my water in (logged sporadically, since I don't have internet access at home), have been under my calories every day, and have met the challenge exercises.

But my regular exercise program has totally suffered with the return of the school year. Hopefully tomorrow will be exercise friendly.

And, drat it, I'm STILL the same weight.... This is irritating me more than I can express politely.

abyt42

I already know I cannot do the 8/30 5K. I've got work followed by a class followed by a meeting, followed by darkness and, hopefully, sleep. Does anyone think running the 5K tomorrow would count, since that's my plan for tomorrow anyway?

missbroccoli

1000 crunches done.... ouch! everything is done for this week :drinker:

missbroccoli

yes since its the start of next week that's fine

abyt42

yes since its the start of next week that's fine

If you're replying to my request, it's more than a week before the challenge (since I meant TODAY, instead of next Sunday...) Moot, however, since I've spent the day working on a lecture about Spanish colonization compared with French and English patterns of colonization. (Because I'm the most pendantic history teacher of all time, that's why.)

So, sadly, no 5K run....I'll try to get it in this week, however, even though it will be at least a week early when I do.

missbroccoli

Thanks Chelsea you're amazing!!!!

abyt42

Water's good, calories good, both of my yoga classes have started up again, and I'm having a difficult time making the challenge exercises (so far, so good, but I'm thinking next week will kick my butt...a bunch...)

I don't have internet access at home any more, so I'm "catch as catch can...."

lloydmel

Day 1 and Day 2 of Week #4 is done!
Over Water, under calories.
I have been under the weather but doing my best for the team. Sorry I haven't checked in as well....
Also, I've 150 extra crunches and 100 extra jumping jacks for the team challenge.

Thanks.
Melissa

After ALL of this, today I can declare that I've LOST a SINGLE pound...I'm hoping like crazy this is not the new equilibrium point for me: if I've got to do all of this, plus eat how I've been eating in order to maintain, I'm doomed. Seriously.
Water's good, regular challenge exercises met, going to yoga in about 20 minutes...but I'm an OLD lady, ffs. I need a day OFF.

lloydmel

I've done the challenge for Day #3, and did and extra 200 crunches today.

Under calories and over water.

Thanks.
Melissa

So far I have done 2 of the 6 days of challenge this week. Who knew that working with 72 kids ages 8-12 would be so exhausting...did I mention that there were many hills, lots of swimming, and stairs in there. I am currently attempting to catch up, we'll see how it goes.

abyt42

I did the 5K on Sunday (rather than saving it for the 30th.)
Water's good, but today is the first day I've not met the challenge exercises. I don't know who's keeping track anymore.......

VeganInTraining

Did the 5k....took 36min and 50 seconds...my sister in law recently did a 5k in 33minutes and I really want to beat her time! lol
