    9/19 All Done + 5K
    9/20 All Done + 400 Crunches
    9/21 All Done + 5K (since nothing extra can I add this to last week)
    9/22 All Done + 5K (same as above)

    I am so addicted to Tabata workouts and HIIT training. Finally seeing the scale move!! Of course, I am getting constant compliments on looking great even when the scale was stuck. Even thinking of entering a 5K in November. The only thing holding me back is the course, there isn't a level spot in this town and we are surrounded by mountains.

    Wishing everyone a wonderful rest of the week.

    Fri: calories under, water done, no challenge
    Sat: calories under, water done, no challenge

    Today's weight 159.0
  • Day 1: Calories under, water 64 oz, challenge complete
    Day 2: Calories under, water 64 oz., challenge complete
    Day 3: Calories under, water 64 oz. +, challenge complete (except for the 2 mile walk)
    Day 4 & 5: Calories under, water 64 oz. each day, did not complete challenge (hectic week with prep for Meet the Teacher night)
    Day 6: Calories under, water 64 oz., challenge complete

    I did not complete the Team crunch challenge of the week. I got 100 extra crunches in, but could not make the 200 goal.
    Weigh in: no pounds lost or gained, but I swear I have lost an inch or two. I put on a pair of pants I have not been able to wear in two years and they fit. :)

    My performance sucked this week. Sorry team. This was a challenging week for me with student teaching, additional work for the completion of my degree, and lesson planning. I PROMISE I will be back on track for next week.

    I will do what I can! But I have been eating strange things (lots and lots of food, very odd for me) and sleeping constantly during the day (AND at night). Beating down a flu.

    I will try to do at least the weight lifting days, not sure how well I can do on the cardio ones.
