    Great job mandypizzle!
    I just finished my morning workout but was only able to do 13 burpees. Youtube burpee an you will find the proper technique.

    The burpee goes like this: (from a standing position) 1) squat 2) kick your legs behind you so you're in the pushup position 3) do a pushup 4) bring your legs back under you 5) jump into the air with arms above your head. And that's one burpee.

    Oh, and I did do the challenge for yesterday, plus 10 extra pushups. Which is maybe why the burpees were so hard this morning. I only did 15. I'm gonna try and come back later today and do the other 15.

    YAY!



    Current weight: 128.5 I'm 5'3" so I'm at the TOP of my limit. My goal is to get to 115lbs by the end of this challenge. 110 would be great, but it might be a stretch since that's only a few pounds up from pre-baby weight. I will take measurements in a bit.

    My weekly goals will be to do some form of exercise 5 days/week, count calories, and drink 10 glasses of water per day. My exercise goals will become more specific as I work out my daily schedule.

    Thanks for having me!

    Ok I felt like such a loser for not being able to do all of today's challenge...but instead of just giving up I came home after my 12 hour orientation and finished off the rest of the burpees =]
    btws I am SUPER excited for the t-shirts!!!! Even more of a reason to make sure we all make it through this challenge.

    T-SHIRTS?!

    Too freakin' cool ;)

    Had a good day yesterday, was a little over my calories as it was my twin mommy diner (every couple of months we meet and chat...and drink a couple of glasses of wine..Well maybe too much ;)!
    A fellow MFP critiqued my diary this morning and brought up that I do not eat enough fruits...And she is so right.
    The truth is that I buy lots of fruits and veggies but barely eat any fruit as my 4 year old Wild Things...I mean twin boys get to them first...
    Anyone else on a budget over here and would like to help me map out a weekly menu which includes enough veggies, proteins and fruits?
    My base is good but definately need to tweak!
    Have a good day everyone :)
    P.S. All you guys are doing FAB ;)

    Hang in there and yes today is a new day!

    Take it meal by meal, snack by snack and keep your daily goal in mind as opposed to all the weight you want to lose...It overwhelms me when I think about the 34 pounds I still have to lose but if I think about losing 5 pounds at once, it makes it easier...

    Here is a blog entry I wrote at the begining of my Journey....

    I was under my calorie goal yesterday - what I logged showed about half, but I know it was more than that. I'm convinced homemade perogies are much more fattening than what I found, lol. Today, I will do M, T, W challenges, along with cardio and pilates! I drank less water than I hoped :(

    Today's challenge and Ripped in 30 is done! I hardly slept at all last night and wanted to sleep so bad! LOL But i'm glad I didn't! It will be a coffee day for sure!

    Today I need to be better about logging my food. It gets so busy, I didn't get a chance yesterday but I ate way good. I also need to drink way more water today!
