Hello Girlies!

So sorry...'life' tried to get in the way of my success...missed logging for a couple days and BOY do those bad eating habits creep back in easily if you let em! But I'm back and refocused! (I at least kept up with the excercise)

I like that EVERYTHING counts now, dont have to worry about doing miles AND cardio :laugh: Did we choose a rest day yet?

Friday (not sure if you turned the info in yet):
Nutrition MiniChallenge: Did NOT stay under calories
Excercise MiniChallenge: Did 40 Modified Pushups
Total Time (Not Including MiniChallenge Minutes): 45 Minutes

Have An Amazing Day!

butters1

it would be hard to do worse than i did on food yesterday. Stadium food then dh wanted to stop by white castle after the concert. it was his birthday, so not alot of argument. I'm sure my arteries are screaming...and the sodium logged in at twice my allowance. ugh.

and no exercise.

today is a new day though.........

Hthfamily

8 glasses of water, and calories under done. I could not do one push up, sorry team!

butters1

SAT
crunches done.
60 minutes cardio max cd with both addons
45 minutes exercise bike

pending sortof- sodium. i will be under calories but forgot we go to inlaws tonight. more garbage fast food likely. i feel like even if i make it techinically, i shouldnt get sodium points anyway since i ate double the limit yesterday.

go girls!

tara- in case you didn't know- there is more than one way to modify pushups. you can do them against a wall (standing) or i've heard the stairs can be used to. point is to use the muscles. i can do a few real ones now, but have been working on it for months....

stephanie-glad you are back on track. btw, i saw you do zumba. have you ever done it on a cd to recommend?

misty - thanks for sharing more info....good to know a little about those here. cool.

MakinMoves

Hi Ladies!

Saturday:
Nutrition MiniChallenge: Under Sodium - Yay!
Excercise MiniChallenge: 50 Oblique Crunches - Done!
Additional Excercise: None...Sore Today!

Do We Have A Rest Day Planned Yet? (Today works for me haha)

Also, I saw others had created team logos...I've never created one before, but gave it a whirl...What do you think of this?



Let me know if you like it or want to change/tweek it...and we can add it to our signature.

Have A Wonderful Night!!!

Hthfamily

Hi team. Didn't do very good today, had a family function. I did 90 minutes of water aerobics (I knew my eating would not be good), was under calories with the exercise. Sodium was high but did manage to get 10 cups of water down.

Thanks for the tip on the push up. I will do the against the wall next time.

Not sure how exercise will be tomorrow. I was playing baseball with my boys and got pegged in the side of my knee good. Will see tomorrow.

butters1

sunday works for a rest day for me three . gardening today again and need all my strenght.

should do good on carbs....i can't eat whole grain so i try and limit as much white bread as i can. only if i breakfast badly do i seem to go over.

I swam today with the family and friends and haven't been around the computer this weekend so I am just now seeing the new challenge exercises. I am sorry..

I am up for Sunday being the rest day as well.

MakinMoves

Hoping The Rest Day Was Today! Urgh!

Nutrition MiniGoal: I DID NOT eat under my carbs today
Excersice Minigoal: I DID NOT do any calf raises
Walked 1/2 Mile...Thats It!

:brokenheart:

MakinMoves

Oh...and if we want to use the sticker for our team....you can post this in your signature:



You just have to change the IMG at the beginning and end to lowercase img

butters1

ooh. look at my pretty new logo! thanks stephanie!

today is a new day....

MistyDC29

Wow! This weekend was busy, busy, busy! Had a family reunion and decided that I wasn't going to log that day, but I then decided to do it and found that I had still done ok! So, I am making better decisions without even realizing it! :-) Woohoo!!

We finished last week at 4th! I haven't been getting the exercises in this week though. Sorry gang. I am back and starting anew!

Stephanie, love the logo! I was wanting to get something done, but I had no idea how to go about it. Thanks!

I agree on the rest day. It shall be Sunday!

MistyDC29

Ok, since Sunday was rest day...give me your cups of water! We count those for points on our rest day. Each cup we drink gets us 10 points up to a 500 point max. So, what did you drink yesterday??

Hthfamily

I managed to get down 12 cups of water yesterday.
Ready for a new day!
The logo looks great!

MakinMoves

bmccrory2

Hthfamily

Dumbell flies done, drank 8 glasses of water, water aerobics for 75 minutes and under calories.
A question for all of you:
Is it better to exercise 1 hour a day, five days a week or 1 and a half hours ever othe day?

MakinMoves

How Is The Day Going Ladies?

Ummmm....I HATE REVERSE CRUNCHES!!!:sad: :mad: :explode:

But I will complete the 50 for the challenge! whew...

Be back after they're done xoxo

Hthfamily

Did 90 minutes of water aerobics, downed water. Hurt my back yesterday, so did not attempt the reverse crunches. Did not realize we were focusing on sodium today, went over.

bmccrory2

Good morning ladies! Just wanted to let you know that I did get the reverse crunches done unfortunately sodium level wasn't "under" and I was thinking my meals weren't really that bad. The lunges for today are going to be a CHALLENGE as my knees aren't the best.

Have a great day.

MistyDC29

Stephanie, did those reverse crunches do you in?? You never came back! :-)

That's a great question...I am going to have to go see what I can find. I did an hour of Zumba last night. The teacher was just coming back from a week's vacation, so I swear she was trying to kill us all! Yowsers! I am doing C25K and was supposed to run today, but there was no way after the beating I took last night! :-) I will get back on it tomorrow, though.

I didn't realize we were focusing on sodium either and went WAY over! Gosh...it was unbelievable how over I was. I was still within my calories though.

I will be getting my lunges done here in just a few minutes...don't like them either. Oh well, it's all for the good, huh?

MakinMoves

Stephanie, did those reverse crunches do you in?? You never came back! :-)

:laugh: hee hee....Yes, they almost did me in, but I conquered and completed them.

Today, I am (so far) under carbs but running close and my lunges are done. I will be doing at least 60 min ofzumba tonight but will report exact numbers when I get back (if that doesn't do me in too hahaha)

Dumbell flies done, drank 8 glasses of water, water aerobics for 75 minutes and under calories.
A question for all of you:
Is it better to exercise 1 hour a day, five days a week or 1 and a half hours ever othe day?

worth what you paid for it but i researched this a little and asked a few questions before....

re: weight loss: Technically, i don't think it makes a darn bit of difference if you have worked out the same number of hours doing the same exercises at the same intensity. Realistically though can you do that last half an hour with the same intensity as the first? i know i can work out much harder for shorter periods of time.

re: health (cholesterol, blood sugar & blood pressure): my doctor says 20 minutes CARDIO (high intensity) every single day is best. (nothing else counts but cardio per him.).

re: muscle building - a short number (time) of exhausting repetions (to muscle failure) is what builds muscle.

if anyone knows differently i would be interested as well. i having sucess with the last two but weight loss is very very slow.

butters1

tue - so sorry, forgot to post.

wed - under carbs & exercise done. also did 20 minutes of cardi max, and 1 mile walk.
