Thanks Amy for the new thread :smooched: and my vote would be to post on the thread so we can support one another.

As for your question, I find the exercise WAY harder than the nutritional part of the challenge. I do like that Jen puts up different types of exercise - cause it gets me to try new moves that I wouldn't have tried. Also the exercises that I like, I put into a cardio routine now and do a few mins of each to make up some cardio time.


OH YA and Freaking 205 points for our team yesterday is totally awesome. YA!!!! Pink Panthers

Edited to add: Great job staying away from that cake yesterday. I bet that was hard to do. :flowerforyou:

bigmama65

Hugs Becky:flowerforyou: sorry to hear you were having such a hard day yesterday. I sure hope you are feeling better today and ready to kick some butt!!!!! I think that is great of you yesterday to get yourself to the gym eventhough you were having a terrible day. 40 points for our team is awesome. Ya!!!!!!

Sounds like you have a great plan for a workout tonight. Gooooo Becky Gooooo I am rooting for ya girl.

themommie

I agree posting on here would help us support one another more and see how others are doing. The exercise challenges are by far harder for me then the nutritional challenges. but they are called challenges for a reason right? lol . My body needs challenged so hopefully I can be more toned and not so flabby.

Here's to our team winning this week. We can do it........

Welcome to a new week Panthers!

I am able to tell you where I am at today...

I am taking it a little easy today because I worked out hard all week and I have my charity 5K tomorrow so I want to have energy for that. I worked out for 30 minutes today at a little easier pace. I did the lunges though.

I know I am not going to be able to meet the nutrition challenge with three restaurant meals. Today is the last day of that though so I will be back on the wagon by tomorrow.

What's harder for me depends on the day. Certain nutrition challenges are easy for me and some are harder. I generally am able to complete the exercise challenges with little problem as long as I can find the time.

My points for Friday...
Exercise challenge 10 points
Cardio 10 points
Total: 40 points

Sorry it wasn't more today but I know I will have an hour tomorrow. So excited to be going home tonight.

soonersgirl

I have been trying to get some walking done here at work....I have been getting some in. Need to get the exercise challenge done too then maybe I can relax when I get home Or play some Wii

Under sodium - 5 points
lunges suck but - 10 points

i have a couple of dancing games that i love....also tennis of course

Anyone tried Zumba on the wii? Killer workout that is FUN AS HE... HECK!! Seriously... sooooooo fun! And the burn numbers were rockin'!! I haven't been able to use my wii as it is in the basement and the basement had some water leakage. Soon, I can add that to my routine... Can't wait because I loved ZUMBA!! I was Zumba-fied! ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

lombrica

I also prefer points on here... I like the group support and seeing what people are doing!

Sorry, but I went over on sodium (dang jerkey!) and I have not, nor do I plan, to attack the lunges.

HOWEVER... I did hit the gym tonight. I am tired and feeling a little stretched out.

123 minutes of Cardio - for which I did 7 miles. I know, that's not so many but it's good for me! Total = 60 points

I'll do better tomorrow for nutrition and exercise challenges... Feeling guilty on this one!

MY NIECE MADE HER ARRIVAL LAST EVENING!!! Gabriele' Lauren!
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:


Stopped in to check on the "Goals" for the day... I am so excited about the challenge... wish we could choose one day to do "double" the challenge for "double" points... because I would freaking dance my butt off for an hour!! I'm really excited about this one! Will strap on the old HRM to see what the burn is... even if it doesn't "count" for our Cardio time! But... now that I said that - I might message Jen and suggest we have a "double coupon" type day or something that she throws out as a surprise each week. And every team gets double on that day! Or a "bonus" day type thing... Hmmmmm... my brain is working -- on a weekend?!? Ahhh, stop it! :laugh:

I am about to head to the gym, have a friend going with me today. Should be interesting... she's in shape and walks faster than if I tried to run! But, I don't know that she could stay and keep up for the entire time! I will probably stay for a significant amount of time... aiming for more miles today! And, hoping to get in a swim... But, want a good burn too.

Decided to really refocus and recommit. Slipping a little is a slippery slope - so I am going back to being strict with myself! :grumble: Decided that I need to refocus on myself and the goals each week. Haven't done my "weekly" goals for a little while now so I started that yesterday. Goals for my week (Fri-Thurs) are 1) Log all food strictly! 2) Gym at least 5 days, burn at least 5,000 cal 3) Less Pop, More Water 4) Re-do first 3 days of my program 5) Meet the exercise and nutrition challenges for LTL 6) More Sleep, Less Stress and 7) Put on my Big Girl Panties and GET OVER IT! :laugh: Yep, I gotta get over the mental blocks and excuses that would not be in line with what I am trying to do... yes, one cookie is too many! So, no sugar in the next 3 days with focus on protein and veggies. I always feel better when I do this right. The sugar (processed, but my first 3 days also means no fruit until day 4) makes me sick to my stomach and doesn't help me at all! So... here's to my next week. Gotta run (almost literally) - need to be at the gym in the next 15 minutes!

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY PANTHERS!!

soonersgirl
