    Burned 1083 calories today doing running/walking intervals for 98 minutes which bring my count to ...... 3627 calories burned this week so far!

    That's AWESOME!

    Thanks! Gotta get in my outdoor cardio before I move to a place that's a lot less temperate and I can't go outside to exercise until October!

    Good morning Reigners!

    ~TheresaRichards~ Aww, thank you. Please, call me Tish. I think it's wonderful that what I do motivates you. That's what it's all about, helping each other to reach our goals.

    ~toofat2toofit~ Woohoo, I have Turbo Jam in hand now. I'll give it a test drive this weekend.

    ~Viruetwife2012~ I'm certain the 2 lbs is water weight. Your body will get used to increased exercise. In the meantime, make sure you stretch and have some protein after a strenuos workout. Every morning you coould add up to 2 TBS of lemon juice to a glass of water to help excrete excess fluid.

    ~scsedey143~ WOOT! Congrats!

    Have a fantastic Saturday Purple!

    I ran my 18th half marathon this morning and I am working really hard to not go crazy eating since I burned 2.040 calories! Water, water, water! (I did allow myself one beer, though. It was the last one in the fridge - not buying any more!)

    Hope everyone's having a great weekend!!!!

    Good Morning Reigners!

    ~scsedey143~ You're welcome, YOU did it! BIG POTB (pat on the back) for yourself.

    ~zukekitty~ Now I know that you are competitive. haha I stayed up late too to get that 500 burned. WTG!

    ~stylelush646~ So sorry about your mom. I have been there and more. You still have to consider yourself though. Take care, do give it your best shot.

    ~spaingirl2011~ Fantastic week total!

    ~TheresaRichards~ You know what I like seeing the most from your Friday and Saturday exercise? S T R E T C H I NG ! I feel like that is truly giving your body love & respect for what it is allowing you to do.

    ~Viruetwife2012~ It'll happen. If you have increased your exercise substantially this past week from what you normally do, your body is adjusting.

    ~runningathena~ WOOHOO! on completing your 18th! half marathon. I think you definately earned a beer.

    ~usmcwifeb15~ You burned a LOT of calories, WTG! I see that all of your workouts exercised your thigh muscles a lot. Those are big muscles and they love to hold fluid after hard workouts. After your rest day, you may have to take one extra day of light activity. Walking (not too strenuous) and stretching those quads and hammies should help release the fluid. It helps me.

    Ugh, I'm tired this morning. What to do today for exercise? My body is whining, "I'm tired" my brain is saying "GO HARD!" Mmmm, compromise?

    Purple Reign was AWESOME on the calorie burn challenge! Push your body to the limit (it can take it) but not over the brink!

    GO PURPLE!

    Sorry that I missed the mini challenge due to being ill for 5 of the 7 days.

    But, I'm ready to start it up again and will come back full force on the next mini challenge.
