I dunno about you all but I am NOT looking forward to up downs! I just ran a 5K (my first one for the year) and did decent so I feel good about that...and it allowed me extra callories for the work BBQ we are having today! I hope you all have a fantastic day, and i'm so glad to see that we are all helping eachother out so much with staying on goal!0

If anybody feels that their points are inaccurate, please let me know so we can get these things squared away...
Its very important to report your progress to me after every challenge is completed... but you all are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!
Oh and to the new comers, since you all started a day late you will need to do the first challenge which is 100 jumping jacks. That would put you all at the 3pt mark.... go team!0 -
My 40 up and downs are finished. Those were pure torture lol.0

Alright, I hadn't really planned on it, but I'm forcing myself to go to the gym and do my Couch to 5k program today. At least I'll have extra calories to eat!
I'll do the Ups and Downs while I'm at the gym- hopefully I don't fall and embarrass myself or anything, haha.
I've only got 16 oz of water down for right now, but I'm working on it.0 -
Finished everything to today and did the 100 jumping jacks yesterday...but I can do them again today
Finished my food log now b/c my computer is on the fritz, but I'm under, and don't plan to eat any more although I DO plan to exercise some more

We got back from our trip to the ocean, had the crock pot of zucchini bisque for dinner, and I hate to admit that the bag of pretzels I got for the kids to go with lunch is open, and the remaining pretzels are calling my name (evil, evil pretzels.)
Amazing how little another slice of zucchini does to fight the "I'm salty. And crunchy" demon pretzel voices...but I'm going to try, because I am NOT going over. Nor do I feel up to exercising enough tonight to make room for the pretzevils.0 -
Finished everything today.... up/downs, I have even done everything from earlier in the week as well today... lol... I was in a boot camp class and did sit-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, up-downs, along with a lot of other things...
I also walked a mile total today .... woohoo... that's on top of my normal pilates class so... I kicked my butt good.
Have drank my 8 classes and am still drinking water... and I'm well under my calories...
Have a great night!0 -
Everybody sure is quiet today. What's up?0

Felt really guilty about not working out today other than those terrible up and downs, so I ended up doing zumba kinect. I'm so glad I did. I feel a lot better now!0

I met my second mini goal this morning!! I am down to 154lbs which is what I weighed when I got out of Basic training. I think i'm in better shape too lol. Now I'm on to my next mini goal. 145lbs is where i reach "healthy BMI"
Today is the first day of week 4 of the Insanity workout for me. I'm going to my grandparents this weekend and it's going to be hard to stay on track but i'll find a way.
Have a good day everyone!0 -

The 100 mile challenge seemed daunting, but, with twenty of us, it's five miles each. I can commit to an extra five miles next week. I'll just plan my route so my run ends a mile further from home.
Anyone else?0 -
I can take 5 miles.... that would be the most I've ever walked in such short time but I can do it...0
-
My normal jog is a 3 mile loop. At least two days next week I'll do two laps unstead of one. So put me down for six extra miles.0
-
Put me down for 6 extra miles. If we do more, it still counts, right? Or only what we volunteer for?0
-
Wait, is this all AT ONE TIME or spread out over the week?0
-
Hi all: Put me down for 5 miles as well....we can do this! I have to tell you...I am sore!!!! But still doing it....pushups were a bit funny looking but I did them! Kathy0
-
Its throughout the week... and it counts if you want to do more0
-
