I'm still here! I forgot to weigh in yesterday because I had a raging headache in the morning, spent the afternoon working on a wedding cake, and then the evening was dedicated to going to curriculum night at 2 schools.
In any case, it wasn't a great week for me. I didn't exercise enough, or keep up on my water. I was okay when I remembered to drink, but I just don't feel thirsty very often, so I can go a whole day without drinking anything. When I don't drink the water, I don't lose weight.
So - here's my stats for the week:
Thursday Weigh In - 167.
Calories Burned - 1326
Water Intake - I only did 8 cups of water on 2 of the past 7 days. I really need to up this.
Hopefully it will be a better week.
Good luck everybody!!0 -
Stats so far this week:
Days Of Push Ups: 1/7
Cups of water: 7/50
All food logged: 1/7
Fruits and Veggies: 1/7
Keep up the great work everyone!0 -
1. Do 30 Push-ups per day! Yes...you can split them up... Yes you can modify. Do girl pushups...do Wallies (as I call them) Wall-push ups.... Do 5 at a time if you have to, but do 30 per day!
2. 50 Cups of Water for the week at least!
3. AT LEAST 5 SERVINGS of Fruit and VEGGIES per day!! A serving for most things is about a cup of veggies or a small apple..size of fist?? Look up a serving size of each fruit and/or veggie you log! Try your best to make them fresh, and remember frozen has more nutrients than canned with none of the added salt! (water weight anyone?? ugh...)
4. LOG EVERYTHING YOU EAT EVERY DAY!!!!! (I'm struggling here...some of you will ace me on this one.!! )
Great challenges! I am stuck at work today because my husband's car broke down and he has to go for his MRI today. So before I even read this challenge, I brought veggies and hummus for breakfast, grapes and more veggies for lunch!! The logging is the biggest challenge for me too. We got this!0 -
Okay, so I didn't see the challenge for the week until I got home yesterday @ 4:00pm, so I am a little behind.
Water: 15/90
Push-ups: 30/210
Fruits/Veggies: 2/35
Personal Goal:
Calories: 398/3500
I weighed myself yesterday and lost .6 lbs, but I weighed myself again this morning because Friday's were always my orginal days and I feel out-of-whack when I do it a different day! I lost an additional .6 lbs so I lost a total of 1.2 lbs this week!
LET'S DO THIS!!! Don't get discouraged everyone, it is hard but you're all doing amazing!!!0 -
9/15-9/21 Weekly Challenge
ON TOP OF THE 30 PUSHUPS, 5 SERVINGS OF FRUIT AND VEG, 50 CUPS OF WATER AND LOGGING, I AM GOING TO ADD A PERSONAL GOAL TO WORKOUT AT LEAST 5 DAYS.
9/15- 8 OF 5O CUPS OF WATER DONE, PUSHUPS DONE, DID NOT MEET FRUIT AND VEG TODAY, LOGGING DONE AND WORKOUT #1 FOR WEEK DONE
9/16

Nice goal, I made a personal goal for myself too...to burn at least 3500 calories...it makes me work harder and I love it! Keep up the great work!0 -
OK - I did do some pushups in my AM workouts on Thursday, I think it came out to around 20 - I wish I had of read this challenge before this AM cuz I could have got Hubby to do some pushups with me when we got home from the gym :laugh:
Water is no problem for the Water Drunk
I do about 20-25 per day so that just leaves me to focus on fruit/veggies
Unfortunately I only got about 2 servings in yesterday - slept through most of the day & my eating was rather minimal. I'll do better today - I usually make sure to have at least 1 serving with each meal - plus I have to go grocery shopping this weekend & pick up some more fruits & veggies (almost out of EVERYTHING right now!)
I'm getting better at logging everything every day: the only day I slip are the evening I go to my Mum's for dinner - I eat well but I don't weigh any foods & I know I sometimes go a little over: Wednesday nites will be my challenge nite :happy:
Orange Team - we CAN do this!! Maybe with the extra push on fruits & veggies we can avoid the cookie, chocolate & chip monster - make it a point to eat fruit/veggies instead of the Monster Foods
Plus, we might actually see those loses if we can conquer the Beasts 0 -
9/15-9/21 Weekly Challenge
9/15: pushups-no, didn't see the challenge until after my workout; logged all food; 4 servings fruit and veggies (hmm, sodium was lower yesterday too-coincidence????); only 8 cups water. Water should be very easy for me. Worked out and burned 542.
9/16 pushups-done;
9/17
9/18
9/19
9/20
9/21
Nat and Mariam, I like the idea of a team challenge to tame the sweet monster that has overtaken us. My bigger issue is really the sodium but Mariam, like you, I've been getting a little "lax" in my food discipline. Your birthday is a big day so you need to celebrate that but after that, we'll be watching you too! We can do this!!!0 -

Wow!! You did great last week Suzzane!!! Keep up the great work. Can't believe you burned 6462 cals.
Good work everyone! These totals are final.0 -
Miriam - Happy early B-Day!! Tomorrow is an AWESOME day as it is also my Baby Sis's B-day (she'll be 32); Turning 30 is not that bad - just realize that you are a very strong woman who has come so far & more great things are to come!
TEAM ORANGE - I think that's a GO on the Team Challenge. Angie - if you cut out the sweets/cookies & add fruits/veggies instead that will also combat the sodium issue (you wouldn't believe the amount of sodium in sweets and treats!!!).
On an up note - I actually realized that I did more than 30 push-ups yesterday without even realizing it or knowing about the challenge: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Week 1 has pushups and I think I counted 20 this AM plus I had done another cardio DVD after that one yesterday that had me doing another 10 or so - thinking I did around 30 yesterday, Yea!! And, this AM - without meaning to, I picked another DVD to follow up Ripped in 30 that had me doing an additional 20 pushups so I'm at 40 pushups for today :happy:
And, for fruits & veggies, I'm already up 4 servings thanx to not a whole lot of food in the fridge - I needed a good lunch so had to be creative: no tomatoes, but did have lettuce, ended up cutting up an apple & pear, mixing with the last of the grilled chicken w/a dollop of mayo & vinegar & some salsa & rice chips on the side (needed some carbs!).
Dinner I'm already planning as veggies & rice & since I usually do WAY more veggies than rice, I should be good for today :flowerforyou:
Sometimes when you get excited about a challenge your body will listen & make things work out :happy: Good luck to EVERYONE on this week's Challenge!!
(PS - Tausha: my weight may have finally dropped, but I'm leaving it at 149 for now in case this AM's weigh-in was a fluke ) 0 -
