Sexy in Six Challenge - Team Blue (Closed Group)

tbhoover

Hi everyone,

So far so good. I have been staying on my plan and not giving in to any temptation. I rode my stationary bike 50 minutes and will walk for a half an hour later and maybe do some other cardio,
Tomorrow I go back to work and it is an "In service" day which means everyone goes out to lunch. I'm hoping they pick Applebees because I know they have some things on the menu I can have. If not, I will opt not to go.

Chilis also has a great plate of food...the margarita chicken...so yummy...i dont remember its exact calories but i think its like 500ish and super yummy

Most places im sure you can order a grilled chicken breast and side salad...then you dont have to opt out

Just finished today's work out. 1 hour on the gazelle (i do the gazelle instead of walking so I dont have to get my kiddos out in the heat). 200 crunches. 2 sets of 20 Windshield Wipers, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 10 Swimmer’s Press and 40 pushups

On target with my food and already have 6 glasses of water down.

Feeling good )

Whoa, overachiever! I’m definitely feeling those 200 crunches from yesterday. Today, liek you I got super stressed out and I really wanted to go out and buy some Pringles eat the whoooollllllleeee thing.

Well, I decided I couldn’t let my team down and I didn’t get them!

Great Job! Usually when I know I’m going out to eat I try to look at the menu online and find a low-cal meal. You can look at some usual places they tend to go. OR you can plan around it, like you can have a light breakfast and then super lite dinner. As well as bumping up a little more working out. It sucks to miss out social outings!

Let us know how it goes!

Finished my cardio, stayed under my calories, drank 8 glasses so far and now off to do some push ups and crunches! I am just getting started adding exercise back in. I usually over-do and burn myself out because I get frustrated about not being able to do what I used to, so slow and steady for me! This challenge is really helping to keep me motivated!! Great job today everyone!

Way to go team!

Here is a new recipe I tried tonight - So good. I used wonton wrappers and ground turkey and all reduced fat cheeses. took maybe 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to bake. ENJOY!

They made us take our lunch at 10:30 today. The only place open was a local diner. I ended up getting a mushroom omelet made from egg beaters. It came with hash browns but I didn't touch them. :-)

going to look this up tomorrow! ty!!!

totustuusmaria

ahhh today has been crazy. ok,

- ate under my calories
- did 15 minutes cardio (took the boys I nanny for a walk) and then I cleaned the house, ran after them all day, made them food... etc... so I would think I easily made the extra 15 minutes of cardio up, but I didn't log it because I don't know how much I burned.
- chugging down the last bottle and a half of water as I type. I WILL have that done before I go to bed.
- did the 20 pushups.
- answered my Sin6 tuesday question

I soooo felt those 20 push ups from yesterday. I felt them all across my chest and in my upper arms today. i could barely manage the other 20 today... so that felt GREAT to know I'm working those muscles that I have been wanting to work!!!!

I am not doing the crunches, but I will try to do them again tomorrow. It really is just about me spliitting them up, like you guys said. Thanks for the inspiration! For the last week I've been kind of not really doing MFP although I am signing in and aware of what I am putting into me and kind of exercising, but since this started and I had "team blue" for support (today and yesterday haha) i've done great!!! We got this!

Hey girls.

Today I took a break. Yesterday I power walked/Jogged 6.5 miles, I am still hurting after that lol.

- under my calories (eggs for breakfast, fish and greens for dinner, oranges as a snack and 10 cups of water)
- did 25 minutes of cardio on the treadmill
- strength train for 15 minutes (Resistance Cord , 200 crunches, dumbbells, pushups)

Way to go Team!

Im part of another challenge so between the 2...Whew!

I got everything Ive committed to do done.

Its like a weightloss angel has taken over my body. I feel so motivated to push myself and do everything. Thank you ladies for keeping me accountable )

I just wanted to tell you all that you all drove me to greatness today. I overate at lunch and was over 96 calories for the day by 2 pm! So I went to the gym and worked really hard so I could eat dinner and STILL be under my calories.
I am so happy to be on your team.... it really keeps me accountable.

WTG ERICA!!!!!

So I did pretty well today on my challenges.
- Answered the Sin6 question
- 20 push ups
- drank all the water
- stayed under calories
- exercised for 30 min (aerobics; actually did 50)

no crunches but aahhh tomorrow i try again! i am so wore out. Went straight from work to home where my friend came over for dinner and i made dinner and then we worked out. now i'm winding down and don't see the 200 crunches happening.

another bummer is today in desperate need of energy while working i ate an apple and organic 140 calorie granola. well that stupid apple was like 22 sugar and my limit is 26 day!!! and then that granola (which was pretty good) was 12!! boo on that! didn't know about that apple until I looked it up later. so that bummed out my little diary and its in the red

When I was making dinner for my friend though I made salmon (which I got the wrong higher-calorie salmon ... agh!) and I make this really high in sugar and sodium (honey/soy-sauce) coated salmon from a martha stewart receipe. it is not really high in calories at all, but pretty high in the other. anyway, i said no to that and just had the salmon with a squirt of ketchup which wasn't grand but a way better choice! so go me!!

thanks for keeping me motivated guys. i'm going to do better tomorrow, but thankfully this Sin6 thing is not counting sugars (hate them but they are oh-so good!) and is only worried about calories this week! 2 points again today for team blue!!!

Great Job this week Ladies! My body is pretty angry from over exertion (I have a pretty physical job that has picked up in demand as well as the added exercise) so i'm going to give myself a break today - planning to keep up running this weekend. I will also have a few lighter days next week (for medical reasons) any suggestions besides really staying within my calories too keep me occupied? I've really been looking forward to my work outs

Any good ideas for soft food for dinner? I'm tired of making 2 meals but I'm not touching the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes I've been feeding my husband all wee ( he got his wisdom teeth out monday)

Almost Friday!!!!

Today is going to be a bit stressful. We have CPR and the person teaching it is always extra hard on me because they know I Have ms.
Good vibes appreciated.

Hey girls!!!

How did your week go?? I had a little bump when I got stressed over school stuff but I did extra work yesterday and some today. I weighed myself last ngiht and I didn’t gain any weight but I hadn’t lost any. I’ll weigh myself tonight again for the posts.

tbhoover

My week went well. I know I lost for sure I just dont remember what my starting weight was. Im waiting for peanut to tell me. Im thinking I lost 2lbs for the challenge....gonna wait and find out for sure

emd0019

I'm really really sorry. I am going to have to apologize to you all for going over my calories today. Late last night (this morning) we were hanging out and there were some doritos and some chips and salsa, so I had a little bit of each.:embarassed: There were also some crunch bar minis and milky way minis so I had a few of those too. Starting today out with all those calories already gone made it very hard to stay under. This doesn't mean I said forget this and went and grabbed pizza, I've still tried to be good. I will try to fit in some exercise to make up and see if I can get under but no guarantees. Sorry again :frown: :sad:

totustuusmaria

u, erica!!!

i didn't get my exercise (30 min) or push-ups in yesterday!

Also didn't get the push-ups in today!

Will start it back up tomorrow!

I only lost 0.6 lbs this week! I promise I stuck to it, watched my calories (didn't go over), and worked out more consistently this week (everyday) then ever before. BUT I bet I lose big time this next week!!! Go team blue!!!
