Are we ready to totally kick *kitten*, guys?
I just woke up to complete some last-minute work for my internship, and then I'll be going into the morning workout routine that I hope to keep up every day of this month and beyond. I was just wondering what everyone's typical workout schedule is like?
For me, it's:
-- stretches (at least 30 minutes)
-- dance (at least 2 hours)
-- 30-Day Shred (30 mins)
-- P90X (1 hour)
-- plus the exercise challenge
I think the hardest thing for me will be drinking 8 cups of water. I usually only get in 3 or so, but I'll be trying my hardest to drink more at work. Maybe then I won't be so prone to eating, haha..0 -
Good Morning Team Mates~~~ Good Luck and you can do it! 100 jumping jacks here i come lol0
-
new start weight aug 1 182.6
new goal weight for end of month 172.6
at least 30 mins exercise day PLUS fitness challenge.
I'm ready to kick the crap out of August!0 -
Vivianleemit - try using a water bottle with a straw, and add some lemon juice or a drop or two of fruit juice. I think ou will be surprised at how many times you will need to fill your bott by just sipping during the day. Or, time your water like medication. one glass in the morning, one with each meal, one before bed....0
-
That actually sounds like a great idea. I'll try the "drops of fruit juice" idea -- my main gripe with water is that it tastes too bland, so hopefully that should help! I also found a great thermos that is tall and thin, so it doesn't -look- as if you're drinking that much, but in reality it's equal to an 8 oz cup (two gulps brings the water level down an inch!)0
-
Just did my first cardio workout of August! 30 Day Shred, level 1 day 1. This is going to be an awesome month 0
-
glad youare all pumped for week one!!! i have 75 jumping jacks done!! (i do 25 everytime i go to the ladies room at work LOL)
OK so Gary had the idea of putting a before/after slideshow together after this challenge, so if you want to send me a before picture soon you can email me at caroline.mcdonoughDSP@gmail.com and i'll send it along to Gary! I'll remind those that send me befores to send afters when the challenge is over!0 -
Do we need to log the challenges each day and let you know we completed them too?0
-
I havent done any yet, but i told my hubby he was gonna have to do them with me tonight ROFL...Will find you a pic and email tonight dear leader~!
PS for water drinkers i do one bottle flavored water Adirondacks (zero everything...no sodium no carb nada) and then i do one plain. Once i finish the plain i can hve another flavored:)0 -
100 jumping jacks DONE! i need to update my weight (again) cause my scale was broken thats why it said i lost 10 pounds. So my current weight is 198 and my goal for august is 190.
WOOOO0 -
Signing in for week 1, weight today was 175.2 for starting weight. Forgot to do a set of jumping jacks before I left home so they will all have to wait until later. I just don't think I can do them in the bathroom. :blushing:0
-
We definitely need to log (I also write it in my exercise notes). I think it's good to keep the rest of the team updated on your progress, so just a simple "hey, I finished!" shoutout on this thread should be good, what do you guys think?Do we need to log the challenges each day and let you know we completed them too?0 -
did my 1000
-
please shout out to your friends here what you completed for the day and when you weigh in sunday night/monday morning please list the challenges you completed so i can calculate your points!!!!
SO PROUD OF YOU ALL!!!! lets keep it up!!!!!0 -

Goal weight this month- 142 (2 lbs a week is sooo doable i think)0 -
I did 100 jumping jacks and was under my calorie goal for the day . I drank 24 ounces of water .... I know I need to work on it0
-
Ok. I logged and was under calories although I ate horrible things today. Again, I know it was NOT healthy, but it was in range. I did finish the water, which is a major accomplishment for me. I also did my 100 jacks in addition to my 25 minute cardio circuit. Go team thin to win! Yea!0
-
Still having trouble with the water
Just drank my 5th cup, only three more to go! Hopefully I can finish them, that's the only thing standing between me and completing the challenge today. Hey, if it was easy, it wouldn't be a challenge, right? 0 -
WOOT! just finished all 100 jumping jacks....note to self...def need a GOOD sports bra - OUCH! lol

I made it! (barely) Under calories (admittedly, I slept through dinner, although it wouldn't have made me go over anyways... no worries, I'll eat something light in a bit) + 8 cups of water (so proud of myself!) + jumping jacks + usual dance practice. Whoo-hoo, bring on day 2!0
