SO far so good today! I have my walk to get in still, and part of the Bushman challange. I had to leave the house to help the old man out last night, so I lost 30 minutes plus, had to shut off dinner. A very yummy Cream of Potato soup, with chicken and wild rice. Very filling as well.

Happy Stressful Wednesday! I kept twitching my nose hoping to turn my water into vodka today.. It didn't work.

Wednesday challenge is done.

I am going to do tomorrows challenge before DEVIL time. I will not be able to lift my arms after the session.

How is everyone else doing

meli_medina

I got my run in and then was going to do my challenge exercises for the day, but I don't think my leg can take it right now. I am seriously going to eat a low fat fudge bar and go to bed... the whole day has just been one I would do over if I could. lol

lgwmab

SO far so good, half my water is down for the day, calories are looking great, and all the challenge exercises are in. Everone is doing great, keep up the hard work. Win loose or draw, you are doing your best, and that is what counts.

meli_medina

Got the Bushman done today. Feeling much better and less negative today. I was good on calories yesterday, got my water in, too. Also good on both for today!

Great job melissa, It looks as if week 3 is full of a challenge!

meli_medina

When I'm doing the lawnmowers, my husband always thinks it's funny to say, "Haven't you started that darn thing, yet?" :indifferent:

meli_medina

Friday is all done! Exercises done, food logged and under, and water a plenty.

Challenges done everyday but tues.. Under calories everyday. over water everyday down 1.5 lbs

Kityngirl

Okay. I'm back. Lol. Vacation was great but time to get back into it. I did complete Tues, Wed and Friday last week and my water was definitely over. Didn't log my food however, so I'm not sure about that and I did not weigh in last week. We'll see what happens this week. *fingers crossed*

lgwmab

Great job everyone, i still have my 2 miles today! It's pretty warm and humid out, so it may wait until sun goes dow, and be a few trips back and forth on my road to get it in.

justnname

okay what drug addict made up the burpee exercise? Really???

Can the elliptical count as miles? I just could do the treadmill this morning? I did 4 miles on the Elliptical. I guess I will be running place with my WII Fit tonight.. It tells me I'm doing well and have a good pace. LMAO

justnname

It was pouring last night.. I wasn't got back to the gym.. So I Jogged around my Condo.. Watched ESPN.. It was a sight..

meli_medina

All exercise for Monday and Tuesday are done. I also got in my extra 50 crunches and 1.5 miles per the football bets prior to this weekend (all the teams I wanted to win won, but I bet against the Lions because otherwise they would have lost, I just know it).

Weigh in this morning puts me at 161.9 which puts me down 1.6 from last week, but only .3 from my original weight. I guess I should be happy with that, though. A loss is still a loss, right? Especially since following my weekend of drinking I was up to 164.5!!! So that means just by drinking water and being really careful about my choices, I'm down almost 3 pounds. hehe

My body seriously fights dropping weight when I get close to the 0's and even more hates going from 0 to 9, so this might be a long month for me. The last time, I had to start 30-Day-Shred in order to get it to go to the 160s, and I'm almost considering doing it again just to get to the 150s. lol. I'm so ridiculous.

ETA: Also, I have been great on water and my calories have been under, as well.

lgwmab

Great job everyone! I stayed at 153! I'm starting to kick things up a notch, going for a 2+ pound loss for next week, I think it's my body holding onto sodium from this past weekend, I'm trying to avoid the scale until next tuesday morning, I'm praying for a 3 pound drop, but will be happy with 2 more off.

Kityngirl

No loss, no gain. Not bad for a week of vacation. :happy:

justnname

TGIF!!!!

So Glad it the weekend is here! I usually weigh myself on Fridays. I had a KickASS workout yesterday ( my shoulders are still sore).. I decided let see what the scale says.. I figured I would weigh the same this morning.. Wow, I was happily surprised.. I am so close to the 80lb's I can smell it.. Finger Crossed and closed mouth.. Next Week 80lb will be lost..


I am not looking forward to next week challenges.. I am already imaging 20 burpees.. I do not like Burpees.

How is everyone else doing?

meli_medina

I'm doing great on the exercise, and staying under my calories, and drinking my water. For whatever reason, I have been famished pretty much all week and so I've been eating pretty much all of my calories available, but also not losing. That part is getting frustrating. I want to see 159 so bad I can taste it. I keep envisioning the number on the scale dropping, but it isn't. I've been flirting with it for 3 weeks now and I think it ought to appear anytime now.

Forcing myself to have patience. Also thinking about starting 30 Day Shred again or 6 Week 6 Pack to see if that kick starts me into the 150s. I think if it doesn't move by Monday, I will. Something has got to give, and it isn't going to be my resolve!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I have my 5-mile run tentatively planned (I'm not going to push it if I'm not feeling it, but I tested the waters on Wednesday and went 4.35 and could've gone further if it wasn't pitch black outside) for tomorrow and then I'm looking forward to a lazy day on Sunday again.

meli_medina

Alright... here's my week:

Monday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
Tuesday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
Wednesday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK. Weigh in: 161.5
Thursday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
Friday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK.
Saturday: Exercise done. Food OK. Water OK. Ran 5 miles for bonus point. Also completed all 100 of the high plank to low plank (actually 120 because I did 20 each day for the 5 days). I don't know if there's a bonus point for that, but thought I'd share.
Sunday: Off day. Should be able to keep up with food/water.

Kityngirl

Okay. Got all my exercises in this week. *self five* Even did the bushman challenges. :bigsmile:

Woohoo! Weigh in this morning puts me at 160.5 - I had gone into maintenance to get through this chronic fatigue episode induced by my son's illness that had me up 2 nights (still fussing with it a bit, but I don't feel like I need to take a nap after being out of bed for an hour like I did yesterday). Now I'm down in weight! Woohoo!
