Challenge done for today! And also... I agree... yay for couples doing this together!
I find myself working even harder when there's a fellow teammate living in my house.
That's right your husband just joined the challenge too!! That's got to be EXTRA motivating...I must admit, I am jealous, but also inspired...0 -

Yes, it is extra motivating, but whenever we work out together, I feel like such a marshmallow. I get my butt kicked every time, as you can tell from the fact that we did 7 miles yesterday before I was tapped out, so he went for his "real" bike ride after that and got another 10 miles in, probably going at light speed or something. Sheesh ;-)0 -
No, my wife does a great job! She would've ridden ten miles with me, but she had an appointment yet she wanted to get as much in as she could before she left. That's dedication.0

Ran another 3 miles at work and 3 when I got home today :-) Almost done with the miles I said I was going to do but who knows, I may do some extra ;-)0

I did 2 miles more today. About to do the daily challenges!

Remember guys, if you can't get your daily excercise done, don't give up hope. You can always take your rest-day mid week, or double up tomorrow. Most importantly, this challenge is about pushing ourselves, and leading healthy lifestyles. This isn't meant to cause stress in anyone's life. So relax,,,have fun...and Gary issued a Beyonce Mini Challenge today if anyone's up for it!
from gary....

2000 ab crunches! Easy peasy. Heck I'll pledge to do 500 of them myself!
Congrats to everyone! 0 -
Well, I started out the heaviest by quite a lot, so it's probably easier for me to lose more weight early on. I have to thank you guys are spurring me on to get off my butt and stay away from the cookies. ;-)
Daily Check-in.... Exercise is complete
1 hour walking about 3-3.5/hr (normal)
+ 50 Globe jumps
+ 100 Jumping Jacks
+ bonus challenge 2 miles walking
+ 50 crunches for good measure... just to make me wobble less
+ 1 hour piano practice (so awesome that I get to count this as cardio... I love you, MFP!!)
I know I still owe the team 7 extra pledged miles, so I will get on that tomorrow and Sunday.
For next week, I will also pledge 500 crunches... good idea, szczepj! 0 -
Oh, yeah... and I forgot about the 100 stair climbs, so I just did those, too. So tired!!!0
