    YAY everyone we made it to 20,000 pledged crunches! I knew we could do it! I am at 500 so far this week. I figure it I do 250 each day the rest of the week I am golden! :) I did 300 last night and was dead afterwards. Granted it was after a 45 minute run and a 10 minute circuit of the daily challenge exercises, but wow my abs are on fire.

    I really really didn't want to do them last night, i was tired from the stuff before, but what kept me going and got me to do them was my team! Thank you Thank you to everyone! I am glad I did them now!!!

    PS- is anyone else sore from the wood chops? OMG my entire mid section front to back and aroudn the sides is soo sore from those and all the abs! :) It's okay its a good sore and one that I am happy to have, but WOW!

    I am at 500 crunches so far, got 200 to do today, then 150 each for the next two days.

    I just wanted to thank you all, this whole thing is keeping me motivated, usually when I go this alone, by the end of the second week I just don't anymore, but having all of you around...cyberly...really helps. I am wearing a size down pants today, though they are still a little tight, this is the first time I would wear them to work.

    That's really great! And you're right. No way would I be doing half the exercise I do without the challenges.

    Bean Tostadas - So Good! (serves 2)

    Mission - Homestyle Tostada Shells, 4 shells
    Rosarita - No Fat Traditional Refried Beans , 1 cup
    Generic - Pickled Jalapenos-Sliced, 1/4 cup
    Fresh Raw - *Red Tomato, 0.5 medium tomato (diced)
    Fresh Vegetable - Iceberg Lettuce (Shredded), 1 cup

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
    Put 4 tostada shells on a cookie sheet
    Spread 1/4 c refried beans on each shell
    Add 1/4 of the jalapenos to each shell
    Bake for 15-20 mins until beans are heated through
    Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomatos
    Enjoy!

    As prepared above, 2 tostadas equal 277 calories - this is a super quick, easy and yummy meal for under 300 calories!

    You can play with it too - try it with black beans, top it with your favorite fresh salsa, add cheese (I personally find that the cheese doesn't really add much because the beans and jalapenos have so much flavor on their own), add a little avocado or guacamole

    Sounds good but I can't do jalapenos they are to much for me but the salsa sounds good, and the guacamole.... yum

    c25k is kicking my butt, though I am loosing weight again this week so it is worth it. I have my crunches to do today, but I did 200 last night so 900 are done so I am probably going to go over the 1000 by like 300 'cause I want to do 200 tomorrow too

    I didn't lose anything this week which I was really bummed about, but I did stay exactly the same. I have definitely hit a plateau - boo! I think I am training too hard in terms of at cardiovascular level instead of at fat burning levels. This last week I need to rethink some things and hopefully this week I will see better results. I had a hard time getting in all my abs this past week. I did them all but 1500 was a lot and my abs are on fire. I am going to down them this week, but that gives another person a chance to step it up! :)
