    Ok.. Some may not like this but ... starting Tuesday I need everyone to email me (please do not post in the forum for point credit on your log) & only when you are completely done with everything (please not several times during the day) with your daily totals which includes .. How many ounces of water you drank, Daily challenge status, & if you were under your Calorie Goal. If I don't get the email I can't give you your points. This is the easiest way for me. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to go over the forum or search everyones diary everyday. I do need the diary to be unblocked so I can verify things are getting done from time to time. This is a honesty based challenge so please always be honest with all totals. Please don't forget pictures if you haven't already or if you don't plan on sending one please let me know that too. Email me Sunday night or Monday morning with your weekly weigh in. I wanna do the best I can for you so please meet me half way. I push for everyone to complete all challenges. I'm always here for you all so if you need anything just let me know!

    **Please remember emailing me nightly on MFP is the only way to get your daily credit on your log.**

    I had a few that did not email me so I went into their diary (the ones that were unblocked) & got the info I needed to complete their log. If you emailed me this doesn't apply to you!
    Thanks in advance :) & Good Luck to All!!! :happy:

    No worries Nicole, that's all good with me, I did wonder how you would manage to keep track of everybody! I'm afraid my hubby has gone to bed early feeling unwell, and I still don't have a pic, I will get one to you, but won't be until tomorrow now.

    I'm just about to go to bed ... just drinking another glass of water to get my water intake up to where it should be!! I did my extra run this morning by running with my boy to school, it was such fun, we raced eachother and had such a laugh! I really need to do that more often. Stayed massively under my calories due to all the exercise I've done! Did my bootcamp this morning, took another 10 seconds off my time trial run, did 30 day shred and my extra run to school. I managed to do all that before I went to work!! Amazing what you can fit in when you're heads in the right space!!

    Night all!

    Stupid question but was just was just reading through the challenges and as you tube doesn't work on my phone I wanted to ask what are up and downs? I don't own a computer so can't check on there either. Can someone explain please?

    up downs are like burpies but without the push up bit ... that might help ... as long as you know what burpies are!

    I'm really sorry I've never heard of them! I have never done any excercises other than walking, skipping playing sports with the kids so I'm a bit useless when it comes to knowing what these things are.

    Check this for up and downs, this was sent to me when I signed up to be team leader. I haven't looked at it yet though.

    Finished my challenge today all and was under goal weight for today, all while being in the hospital with my hubs. We are out tonight though, (I guess it's already morning) and I am ready for a good work out later today!

    I was worried about doing the squat lunges, but I can do those (after watching them on you tube); but I honestly am not so sure about the up and downs! Thank goodness I live alone because watching a 325 pound woman try to do those will probably be a hilarious site! But I will give it my best shot!

    Ok then ... description of up downs ... if you follow this I'll be mightly impressed!!

    Start in a press up position, jump your feet forward so they're near your hands, then stand up, jump as high as you can, then squat back down with your hands on the floor, jump your feet back to press up position ... and repeat!

    I've done my 50 sit ups, done my 30 day shred and a run! Looking good for staying under my calories, I need to drink another couple of glasses of water before bed, but I have one with my right now ... so should be all good!

    How's the rest of you body rockers doing?

    I'm just going to admit it... I did fabulous on Monday. Yesterday, however, was a very long and stressful day. First week back to school for us teachers. I dropped the ball. Not only did I have to work for 11 hours, it was raining and my house was a disaster. I didn't eat terribly, but I didn't do well and I didn't get a workout in. I'll do much better today! I have a spin class this afternoon and I'm all over the challenge! Sorry guys! But the scale did go down .5 lb :)

    I'm doing good I think! I'm getting all the physical stuff done, although I was absolutely wrecked yesterday because the extra 1 mile landed on my C25K day! and I forgot I promised my 4 year old I'd take him swimming too. On the up side, I burned over 1000 calories! I'm struggling with eating them all though. I'm eating more than 1200 gross calories but not 1200 net and I found that previously when I ate all my exercise calories I did better on the weight loss side of things. I'm dreading weigh-in on Saturday even though I've been under calories since last week and I've been doing more exercise......... maybe I'm just being silly! :ohwell:

    Thanks for the description of up and downs think I might fall on my face lol.

    Just one other question are we ment to be doing c25k or 30ds? I'm just confused as I seem to be the only person not doing it.

    I have not seen anything as of yet posted to be doing the C25K or 30 DS....I think others are doing those because that is their regular exercise routine. I would love to do the C25K and started it last month, but am restricted from it per my doctor. Hopefully will be able to do it after losing another 25 pounds or so.

    No bikermum, you don't need to be doing 30 day shred or C25K! Some of us are just doing those things anyway ...

    Sounds like we're doing good, it's hard when life is so busy eh? BUt we can do this, we can make August our best month so far!!

    Jennyocox - I'm having the same problem with eating all my exercise calories, and have found the same, I lose more consistently when I do eat them. I'm thinking if I have like 400calories spare again (like I did on Monday) I'm going to fill it up on protein shakes ... crazy how exercise makes you less hungry!

    Well, it's thursday here, I've done my bootcamp this morning. Will do my up downs when I get in from work. Happy August butt kicking everyone!
