Hey All You Lovely Ladies!

Ugh - CW: 158.5 ...

So my plan for this week
EAT BETTER! OMG and to cut down on the drinking. I think those are the 2 spots I put the weight bakc on over the summer.

In terms of working out... errr this might be where I need my butt kicked ladies

Long term plans for this challenge:
- stepper 3x a week
- 30ds (get it done by the end of the challenge)
- start c25k


Monday - Stepper, 30ds?,
Tuesday - (dinner with a friend... WILL be good) Stepper? 30ds
Wednesday - Stepper
Thursday - Working a double... if I don't over eat it will be a good day... Peddler
Friday - (dinner with a friend... EEEPS!) 30ds, stepper
Saturday - Hiking?
Sunday - Hiking?

Looking at my plan for the week, I think I know what I need to do - commit and make sure I know what is going on with my life... The fact I don't know what I am up to this weekend is really impacting my ability to plan.

I will weigh and put my measurements in tmr. I pulled my arm/shoulder muscle getting into my fiance's truck. Bummer it hurts pretty bad so I am going to have to put 30 Day Shred on hold a few days while I heal the arm. Literally hurts to type at work which is just WONDERFUL since I type all day lol.

Since I hit this temporary bump in the road I think I will dust off my Leslie Sansone DVD and do some walking:

Monday- (not sure if I will get to tonight since I may go to the doctor to see if I can get a muscle relaxer) I would like to do 2 miles
Tuesday- 5 mile DVD
Wed- 2 Mile DVD
Thursday (BABY NEPHEW WILL BE BORN TODAY)- Quick 1 Mile DVD so I can go meet him after work
Friday- 2 Mile DVD
Saturday- 5 Mile DVD
Sunday- Apple/pumpkin picking with the family (plenty of walking through the fields)

Hopefully next week I can get back on track with Shredding!

Hi Krystle,

I'm new to the group!

I tried to access the spreadsheet but was unable to. Am I eligible to participate?

ReggaeNurse

I'm really thrilled to be a part of this challenge, and to get to know you ladies better over the next few months. I know we can all hit are targets as long as we stay focused on our goals. Okay, so I thought I was starting at 216, but thankfully as of yesterday (had to work today and couldn't get on scale), I was 214.2. Yay me!

Since I work 13 hour days, 3 days a week, I'll only be doing my 30 Day Shred on those days. On my off days, I'll throw in another activity to keep things interesting. So here's my schedule for the week:

Mon: 30DS (Day 5 Level 1)
Tues: 30DS (D6L1)
Wed: 30DS (D7L1); Turbo Jam Fat Blaster
Thurs: 30DS (D8L1)
Fri: 30DS (D9L1); Zumba
Sat: 30DS (D10L1); Turbo Jam Fat Blaster
Sun: 30DS (D11L2); Zumba


Special shout-out to Krystle for putting this challenge together...and I am loving that google spreadsheet! So cute, and creative, and I love that it documents everything automatically...big time saver (and very smart) on your end, I'm sure.

It's on ladies, let's get this thing done!!! :bigsmile:

Good morning Ladies!! Thank you Krys :0) ... will fill-in later off to my uncle's funeral

Chynadoll00... Best wishes!!

Krys... I love the layout of the measurement and weight page. It's so festive!

Q. What's on your agenda this week as it pertains to exercise? Have you thought about it? If not, let's post our schedule for this week on what we are going to do.

A. Walking... looots of walking. I still need to get more groceries, and it's a pain every time because nothing is close to me. Even to take the bus I gotta walk. I was doing the Shred, but my school schedule is really busy, so it's hard to plan that in. I want to use my stationary bike ONCE this week, at least, and also Belly Dance again.
Mon - walked!
Tue - Walk
Wed - Bike, Shred?
Thu - Belly Dance, Shred?
Fri - Bike/BD/Shred?
Sat - Walk
Sun - Walk
Something like that!

Steph_135

Is chest measured at the widest, or at the bra band line (top of ribs)?
AND
Can measurements be input more than once on a day? ie. I input my weight now. Can I do my measurements tomorrow?

MelL1205

Ok, honestly, I don't have a schedule this week. I am SO overwhelmed with full time grad school and two jobs. So I am mostly concentrating on my eating this week and just trying to do a little extra walking here and there. :ohwell:

JayandBrensMommy

My starting weight for this challenge is 217. , which is up 3 pounds from last week. I am thinking that it has alot to do with water retention. I havent ate the greatest the past couple of weeks. So I am started fresh today. My schedule for this week on exercise is going to be 30 Day Shred. I plan on doing this for the 30 days straight so lets see how this goes. I am also planning on walking whenever the weather permits it.

Thanks Krys_T for another Challenge.

Good Morning everyone! How did the workouts go yesterday?

Steph_135

Lots of walking for me! :drinker:

Question of the Day:

In your weight loss journey, thus far, what do you feel is the most important thing that you have learned?

Krys_T

Question of the Day:

In your weight loss journey, thus far, what do you feel is the most important thing that you have learned?

I have learned that weight loss is so much more than shedding weight as it is trying to shed a negative self-image. I remember looking back and hating the way I looked and felt! It is amazing how many emotions go into losing weight. It is like gaining a new and improved self. There are days where I still don't feel GORGEOUS...but I am getting there. I realize that confidence is all about the energy you give off and not what size you are.

brooke0206

Question of the Day:

In your weight loss journey, thus far, what do you feel is the most important thing that you have learned?

I have learned that being consistent is very important. I have to be consistent with my workouts and good eating habits because it is soo much easier to undo all the good in a very short period of time.

Also answering your question about workouts...... I rocked it yesterday! Walked/jogged 2.5 miles while pushing a huge heavy double stroller AND did 50 minutes of kickboxing bootcamp, total burn yesterday was 1080 calories!!

kiki75243

Question of the Day:

In your weight loss journey, thus far, what do you feel is the most important thing that you have learned?

I've learned that for me my weight loss has given me a lot more confidence and I realize that the support I get from my friend on MFP has help thus far. I feel that I'm letting them down if I eat bad or don't work out. I've also learned that drinking lot of water and giving up soda was very important for me. I've noticed since I only drink water, green tea and milk my stomach has gone down a great deal with lot of cardio. I've also learned that I'm not a diet this is a life long process and a life style change and that it's not always easy to undo years of bad habits. But I"m getting there.

As far as my workout goes I did 30day shred level one and Turbo jam and burned 625 calories. I hate that I can only work out at the end of the day becuz I often end up with a lot of calories left that I need to eat back. But I felt really good after my workout and was dripping in sweat...Day one over!!!

I have learned that discipline, persistance and determination are the KEY factors to exceling within my fitness journey. I have also learned that my weight loss journey is one of the first times i've stuck with doing something. Usually I would start, but never finish.
