    Hey everyone :) Here's the mini challenge for Wednesday:

    40 supermans/chest raises -- lie face down on the floor, and slowly raise your arms and legs at the same time, keeping them straight. your core should be killing you! :P

    40 burpees -- stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands raised over your head. squat down and place your palms on the floor by your feet. kick both of your legs back so that you're now in position to do a pushup. push yourself back up and at the end of the pushup quickly pull both knees into your chest while keeping your hands on the floor. You're basically jumping back into the squat position found in the first step. stand straight up and repeat!

    30 tricep presses

    Two full days until weigh-in! Drink tons of water, try to have a low-carb day today, and get 7 hours of sleep! :happy:
    Sometimes we forget how much sleep affects weight loss....I know I do!

    GO TEAM DASHER! :bigsmile:

    Great challenge for tomorrow. Will do my walking from the train station. Got a long walk to get to the meeting venue. Don't know what is on the menu though in the restaurant, will have to play that by ear. Will work it all off with the long walk back and the rest of the challenge when I get home.

    Good luck everybody - Team Rudolf rules.

    GO TEAM DASHER! :bigsmile:


    Did the Superman/Chest Raises and the Tricep Presses, but the Burpees not so much. I had to look those up and I only did about 15 and probably not right. Lol. I tried though. But doing my c25k in a few min. All in all a pretty good exercise day! GO TEAM DASHER!!!

    Just have to say well done to both teams you have all worked your little butts of.. I'm delighted to see you all so motivated.. I was thinking that to make it fair to everyone that the leaders should nominate a leader for next week this is so that everyone gets a chance or if the leaders would prefare I can pick again? Just let me know... Tomorrow I would like you all to send me your weight and I'll add them up and announce the big ( losers) winners.. Even though were all winners :) (thought I'd add a bit of cheeseness)
    Good luck to everyone for weigh in xxxx

    Ok ladies... I am exactly the same weight. I do have to say I gained almost three pounds over the weekend (I had chips and queso and went into a feeding frenzy and had margaritas) so technically I lost that but I am upset with myself. I need to work on my self control! I do so good during the week its just the weekends are so hard. My husband and my daugher both have problems gaining weight and I am the oposite so they eat all these yummy things! Its not fair but hey what is...

    Good luck to everyone else.

    I'm almost at 15 pounds total-lost! I worked my butt off this week thanks to everyone who put up mini challenges for Team Rudolph, and it paid off!!! I lost 2.6 pounds cuz of you guys!!! wooo hoooo :bigsmile: I really love this website; I couldn't do this on my own.

    Well no loss for me this week...gonna try and change thing's up a little and see if that helps?!? I am changing my settings to maintain so that I give myself more calories, I don't have a HRM so I don't track my exercise but I know I burn everyday, I will lower my calories on Sunday because that is my day off from exercise. I talked to my boot camp instructor and she said that I am under eating and need to eat more...still can't grasp that concept but I am going to give it a try! I plan on getting a HRM but for now this is how I am going to do it unless someone has a better idea???

    Congrats to all of you that lost this week GREAT JOB!!!
