Wow sounds like lots to keep us motivated this week. Thank goodness because my birthday is only 8 days away and I don't think I'm gonna make my mini goal, I've gotta try REALLY hard to get a 4 lb. loss!

chellaJKR

Argh, hubby's doing tons of overtime starting tonight until further notice, hopefully I can still squeeze in gym time somewhere!

♥Amy♥

Here's my workouts for today:

35 minutes of Walking, 3.0 mph, burned 118 calories
22 minutes of Wii EA Sports Active 2 burned 144
18 minutes of Wii EA Sports Active 2 burned 69
2 minutes of Calisthenics, home, light/moderate effort burned 7

I completed the Hip Flexor exercise and will most definitely be under my calories and carbs goals today.


Hope everyone is having/had a good day

MichelleLydia

Here's my workouts for today:

75 minutes of walking 3.5mph (with Lucas in the carrier on my back, we walked to the park for him to play) - 504 calories
60 minutes of walking 3.0 (took the shorter route home. Also with a sleeping Lucas on my back!) - 241 calories
35 minutes of Zumba - 265 calories

I also did my hip flexors. And in addition did 50 crunches, 10 push-ups, 50 leg lifts.

Total of 1010 calories. I may go for a walk tonight, but most likely will stay home with the family and watch some tv, as I've been out and about every night this week and haven't had much family time!

I'll defintiely be under my carbs today. I'm way under my calories too... gotta find something else to eat, which is hard we don't have much and grocery shopping isn't til Friday!

Emotional Challenge:
What was your moment of clarity? What was it that made you say "Enough is enough; I am taking control of my life?" and how does remembering that help you through the emotional and life changing journey of taking off the weight

My cousin came back from spending a year deployed in Afghanistan and we went out to the pubs to celebrate, took tons of pictures, and the next morning I looked at them and nearly had a heart attack at how huge I was! But I kind of shrugged it off as I had just had my son a few months before that. Fast forward to Christmas, I was so unhappy with myself how I looked, and the pictures spoke volumes. Thankfully a few of the mom's in my mommy group started talking about New Years Resolutions and finally doing something about our weight (our kids were 8-9 months at this point). So we set up a Biggest Loser competition. This was it, I was determined to do something about this weight. The real shocker for me was when everyone did their intial weigh-ins, this one girl who I had always thought of as muuuuuch larger than myself, weighed only 10 lbs. more than me! That right there was my motivation. All the other mom's cheated on their diets, slacked in exercise, and eventually faded off; but I kept going and wasn't going to stop. I lost 40 lbs. in the 4 months that the competition was on. 195 down to 155. Then I slipped back into old habits. But when it came time to get my butt in gear and finally get rid of this weight for good, I thought about how much determination, focus and success I had and I jumped back on the wagon fully and haven't looked back!

40 minutes of Wii Just Dance2 burned 184 calories
1 minute of Push-ups, vigorous burned 8 calories
45 minutes of Wii Fit Free Step burned 150 calories
14 minutes of Wii tennis burned 57 calories

I completed the 50 (standing) push ups for today and will definitely be under my calories for the day.

So Lucas has been fighting bedtime like no other lately, 2 nights ago I got fed up and took him for a long walk, he came home and went to sleep in under 15 minutes! So I tried again last night - less than 15 minutes again! So I'm loving that his hatred of sleep is getting my butt out for another hour walk after the workouts and walks I already do in the daytime! Woohoo, thanks Lucas haha.

Anyways so far today I've gone for a 45 minute walk down to the hubby's work - uphill the whole way. I swear I live in the hilliest little city! And I did 30 minutes of Zumba, along with my 50 pushups (and 50 crunches, and 50 leg lifts as well) and I'll be going for another hour walk tonight. So I'm thinking I'll be close to 1000 calories burned again today! yay!

MichelleLydia

So yesterday I ended up doing 30 minutes Zumba - 265 cals.
45 minutes walking @ 3.5 uphill - 302 cals.
and 90 minutes walking @ 3.0 - 302 cals.

for a total of 869.

I was under my calories, did my push-ups etc.

This week is shaping up to be good, I really really really wanna wake up on my birthday and see 145 on the scale!! I'm being super vigilant about what I'm eating. For example tonight is a girlfriend's birthday BBQ, but I'm going to eat before I head over there so I'm not tempted by any of the junk food (as I don't eat the foods she's actually bbqing). Tomorrow I have plans to pick up my Nana and take her for a walk in her wheelchair down to the mall and to Tim Horton's for lunch. So that will be a great burn (it's a loooong uphill walk to the mall!)

How's everyone else doing?

♥Amy♥

I was proud of myself today. I woke up at 6:30 as I had planned and got everyone up and ready (DH for work, Caeleb for school, and me getting Casyn dressed). I walked Caeleb to school (pushing Casyn in the stroller) and then walked the long(er) way home and then Casyn and I headed out grocery shopping. We went to 3 different stores and came home unloaded and I NORMALLY decide "Oh I don't feel like working out now, that was enough work that I just did, etc etc" But, today, I sucked it up and worked out on the Wii. I burned 335 calories so far, as I still have to do my challenge exercises (I'm going to do todays, tomorrows and Sundays all today, since I'm not sure of our weekend plans), so that will be some additional stuff. Anyways, I know it's nothing major, but I was just proud of myself for working out even though I didn't really want to at the time.

Glad to hear everyone's doing so well! Me- not so much. I managed to go over calories by almost 4000 today and did the same wednesday..I have a serious problem. Well I don't usually put it out there, maybe writing it will shame me to change my ways lol. There's not enough hours left in the day to try and work off some more of the damage, so tomorrow's a new day hopefully. Hubby's gone all weekend so I'll have a LOT of hours to try and not eat my house down. Wish me luck team. You are all gonna rock this week so I HAVE to try and keep up =O
Goodnight. I've got to try and get this one night owl of a baby to bed =P

chellaJKR: blaaah I totally get it. I have really bad binge days, like when I'm bad, I'm baaaad. At least you always have killer workouts! But good luck this week, I know you'll do great

♥Amy♥

Sorry things aren't going well for you ChellaJKR. I hope that today is better for you.

WTG Michelle on all those burns. You are amazing!

Here's my stuff from yesterday (Friday):
38 minutes of Wii EA Active 2 burned 268 calories
20 minute walk at 3.0 mph burned 67 calories
8 minutes of calisthenics burned 29 calories

So far today (Saturday), I haven't done any working out. We were gone until 2 this afternoon and when we got home, I've been doing stuff around here. I'm hoping to go either for a walk or to the subdivision pool this evening.

♥Amy♥

I forgot to add that I was under my Fat yesterday.

Today, I'm under Sodium (barely) and here's my exercise stuff:
20 minutes of playing catch (DH & I played catch at the pool for more than 20 minutes, but I rounded down) burned 51 calories
5 minutes of swimming (the 4 of us went to the pool for almost 2 hours, but I barely swam) burned 31 calories
10 minutes of mowing lawn (I went out to *attempt* to help DH, but I suck) burned 56 calories
25 minutes of Wii Tennis burned 102 calories

♥Amy♥

I'm under my Carbs for today and here's my exercise info:
45 minutes of Walking, 3.5 mph, brisk pace burned 175 calories
40 minutes of Wii Just Dance 2 burned 196 calories
60 minutes of Cleaning, light, moderate effort burned 153 calories
(I actually cleaned for over 2 1/2 hours, but I don't think I burned as much as MFP said, so I rounded down)

MichelleLydia

Oh I guess I've been forgetting to mention, I've been under on all the required things each day! Haven't gotten in as much exercise as I wanted to this weekend, but I've done my 30DS both days, 50 minutes of walking yesterday, and so far 25 minutes today, but am about to head out for a 60+ minute walk. Definitely going to surpass my calories burned goal for the week

I can't believe I'm down to 147... ugh if I could just get these 2 lbs. off by Thursday I'd be so ecstatic, or even 1.1 lbs and put me at 145.9! lol. I'm being so careful this week, because I just know that on my birthday I'll be indulging in all sorts of yummy, bad for you stuff! I couldn't do it without all of you guys though, your support and knowing I have to be accountable keeps me going!!

Tayla_Grant
