Christmas Countdown Challenge (Closed Group) - Week 2

lpeacock06

I'm having a hard time keeping up w/ these threads! I didn't do well w/ the challenge last week BUT I've probably done about 30 burpees already this week so I need to get in more!! Bootcamp involves A LOT of burpees!!!

On Tuesday I did 5 regular burpees (poorly, but I tried!) and 5 modified. Wednesday I tried to do all 10 regular, and got to 9 before my legs were jelly and I was laughing so hard I could only do the last one modified! I'm going to keep trying to do them the regular way the rest of the week, and improve the push up part

Usually my water is easy (I drink between 15-18 glasses a day depending on how much coffee I've had), but last month was awful! I just kept spacing it when it was time to fill my cup back up, but this week has been back to normal and it's amazing how much better I feel

Great job so far everyone! I'm proud of you!!!

Need to work on more burpees.....I am feeling them today in my legs for sure!!!!!! Small victory...went to my parents house to pick my dog up after work last night as they had been dogsitting when he was sick. They had Chinese take away from a local grocery store. I used to get stuff there all the time and eat it all. We split it along with some veges we had added and I ate really reasonably and w/in my calories (although it made me go over in my sodium). I was proud of myself for eating a fraction of what I would have in past....in past I would have eaten (almost) all of that myself when I knew that it was enough for 2...or possibly 3 people in their servings. Whoo-hoo.....here's to ourselves and our efforts to make ourselves healthier!!!!

I've done 10 burpees today but hope to do 10 more tonight!! So I'm at 40/60
I have a suggestion for a challenge: it's called a fire hydrant. You get on your hands & knees & lift each side of your leg while your knee is bending to the side ....trying to get it up to the level of your hip. Sounds easy but try doing 100 of them! Did this at the first boot camp I went to when I was really out of shape

Can I ask does anyone do the wii zumba game here? I'm not sure how to track it and I've been putting it as dancing general, any suggestions welcome :-)

I track it as aerobics high impact, but I still think I actually burn more than what it says. I found this website http://www.zumbacalories.com/. That may help you too! Good luck with it! Isn't it a blast? I love my wii zumba game. Happy zumbaing! ~ cm

I've done 10 burpees thus far, planning on hitting them hard this weekend to get them done. Been working alot of doubles and back to backs so im dedicating this weekend to make sure I complete this week challenge. I'v been doing very well on the water drinking about 96 ounces a day. Still need to up my fruits and veggies intake..but still happy with my progress.

Morning everyone,

So I weighed in and I have lost 6lbs this week, after only loosing 1lbs a week over the past 2 weeks I was pretty happy.

Also I only have 10 burpees to go, may try and do these after the shred this morning

Hope you are all getting on ok .

Found this video...though it was interesting. It shows the difference between a squat thrust and a burpee (which till this video I thought were the same thing! lol)

Going in the right direction!!

Unfortunately, this was a CRAZY week and I didn't do any of the burpee challenge (I never got the chance to watch youtube to see what they were). I am off next week and plan to catch up though so I can meet my goals.

Jenn - everyday I say thank you to you for this challenge :happy:

huh! so really the challenge is squat thrusts cuz to be burpees you need the jump, right? I think I'll have to work up to the jump anyways, lol.

Weigh in for the week: 233.4. Not down much, but considering the extremely stressful week I've had this week, I am thankful that it wasn't a gain! This group is soo helpful. I am still working on getting my water and fruit/veggie intake where it should be, but I am doing well doing beginner burpees. It feels great using my body again! Thank you for these challenges, they are fantastic!

CCC friends happy Friday! I weighted this morning and I lost another lb. I am 155 small vicotry but nontheless a victory! :happy:

I completed the burpee challenge and will keep up with my fruits and veggies and water intake throughout the weekend!
