    so thats another day over guys we are getting closer to the weigh in (3 days) so we really really need to push hard for the next 3 days if we want to see maximum results on friday...

    if you have had a bad day dont worry about it you can pull it back... a lot can be achieved in 3 days if you put your minds to it....

    LETS DO THIS !!!!!

    Day is done. Drank most of my water, did the squats, was within my calorie goal, walked at lunchtime, rode stationary bike for 30 minutes...BUT opted out on the planks - just ran out of time / motivation. :cry: Tomorrow is another day. :laugh:
  • Today was a hard day for some reason. I wanted snacks all day, but even though I didn't use all my calories in the healthiest way, I did stay in my calorie limits. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
  • I would love to join your challenge. I'm going out of town Saturday, Sep. 10th (sister is having surgery) and won't have access to a computer until I return (around 26 Sep 2011). I'll check back on here when I get back and play "catch-up". I definitely need some motivation and I think this sounds like a great idea you have!
  • "Good morning guys... Today's challenge is 50 modified pushups(thought we'd take a break from our legs) idiot can do normal ones go ahead but I'm gonna be doing them on my knees.. I will ask if someone can put this on the thread as I don't have access to a computer.. Thanks guys do your best I'll be back later to see how your all doing xxxx"

    That's a message from Andreaie, good luck guys :)

    lol me either! my arms would be like jelly! not strong enough yet hehe xx
  • today will be my carb-free day..as I decided it, my mother started making pasta, buyed bread, was making homemade yummy crackers... :sick: :grumble:

    Is anybody else struggling with the 8 cups of water, or only me?

    Speaking of challenge, I so not have strength in my arms.. doing so many, even with the modified version is terrible. xD I'll try it though, if I'm not able, I'll just do the rest with situps or squats!
  • Starting strong on my Gallon of water. Will do the pushups....I think I can, I think I can. LOL Good luck to everyone!
  • would LOVE to try this

    Silly question...The carbs in fruit/veggies eg.mushrooms are those ok for the carb free day? I hope so lol I will definitely be staying away from the starchy carbs breads, potatoes, rice etc...just getting my menu together for tomorrow and noticed the carbs in mushrooms lol. I just want to be sure that I am doing it right .

  • Andreaie: Happy Thursday.. As most of you are doing no carb today I'm gonna set the challenge as a 20 min brisk power walk.. Make sure that today of all days you drink all of your water it will help with the weigh in tomorrow.. Can one of you post this on the thread again please :) next week I'll be asking for ideas for mini challenges so get the thinking caps on :)

    Good luck guys.

    thats a nightmare... how did it go anyway (your carb free day )

    It went fine, I was just eating soooo many carbs and proteins, and am now lowering in general everything down, yesterday I felt really tired and without strength, but it's getting better.
    I didn't eat anything carby like rice etc, BUT I had carbs anyway, because of eggs, veggies and fruits :S I hope this doesn't matter!
    Also, I'm keeping it up with exercise and the 8 water-cups (well, now 10 too!!) ! I hope it really does help, lol!

    For today's challenge, I wan't to eat 5 pieces of raw fruit/veggies and do added to my daily workout 15 min of ropes!

    Good luck everybody today! Keep it on, friday (and so -1 week) is near! :D
