    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!

IF YOU ARE ABLE AND YOU ARE! Do these consecutively. No stopping to rest, don’t break these into sets! I’ve designed this so you can see just how far you’ve come. Many of you would never be able to do all of these in one setting on August 1st. BUT YOU’VE Found the inner Beast, You’ve Unleashed you ROCKSTAR and you’ve become an EXERCISE MACHINE. I’m proud of you and you should be VERY proud of yourself!

    Tuesday 8/30- Final Days make them count! Walk, Run, Jog a 5K that is 3.2 miles straight no stopping! As fast or as slow as you need to! YOU CAN DO IT I PROMISE! At 447lbs I did it in one hour and 15minutes with 3 hills. You can do this I promise! PUSH YOURSELF AND PROVE TO YOURSELF YOU ARE A WARRIOR! 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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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...."
