Week 3 Day 4
Water has been drunk'
Overboard Plan C has been dun.
Crunches have been crunched
and .... I'm dead tired and crawling out of my skin! This getting under 300 is driving me nutters. I WILL and MUST do it by Nov. 1 !!!
I'm also getting kinda frustrated because some days, like today, I look in the mirror and feel fatter then when I started out this weight loss journey almost 70lbs ago! Arrrggggggghhh Alright, pushing those thoughts out of my head! Thankfully i have a busy weekend again so I won't focus on it as much .. maybe.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, happy and healthy weekend! xoxo0 -
It must have been the week for those thoughts Sarah, because i was feeling the same way--sometimes it seems that it takes FOREVER to see any change. But it will come. We just have to keep working at it. Tomorrow is always another day to look at ourselves fresh.Week 3 Day 4

GOOD DAY TEAM OF MANY TREASURES!!!
So sorry that I was MIA yesterday - have now recovering from a very stressful 24hrs!! Thank you to those of you who in the true pirate spirit carried on and motivated each other - I really appreciate it
So we are nearly at the end of Week 3!! Can you believe it??? Have you done your part of the team's challenges yet??? If not - why not?? What are you waiting for????
Today's challenges -
Plan A (Low impact) – Back to strength training!
3 sets of 21's, 3 sets of 8 - 12 Swimmer's Presses, 150 punches and today you need to walk for 10 - 20 minutes. Remember you will need to walk one more than you did yesterday!
Plan B (Mid Impact)
20 Globe Jumps, 20 Burpees, 50 Toe Touches, 50 Squat Kicks, 2 mile walk, jog, run
Plan C (High Impact) - Overboard in October exericses - but longer!!!
Slow Pushups
Begin in pushup position on a ball or floor. Perform 4 pushups, abs in and back straight. On the 5th pushup, lower halfway down and hold for 4 counts. Push back up and repeat the series - 4 regular pushups and 1 half hold. Repeat for 60-90 seconds.
Plyo-Jacks
Begin with feet together and jump up, taking feet out to the side while circling arms overhead and land in a squat. Jump up and bring feet back together, circling arms back in. This is just like a slow jumping jack, but really use power when pushing up into the jumps. Repeat for 60-90 seconds.
Walking Lunge
Start at one end of the room, holding weights if desired, and step forward with right leg. Bend both knees to 90 degree angles, lowering body into a lunge (keep front knee behind the toe). Bring the left foot forward and step into a lunge. Continue lunging, alternating legs for 60-90 seconds..
Jumping Jacks with Front Kicks
Do one jumping jack. After you jump the feet back together, bring the right knee up and snap the foot out in a front kick (don't extend the leg all the way, but keep a small bend in the knee). Do another jumping jack and kick with the left foot. Continue for 2 minutes, alternating jumping jacks and kicks.
Wall Sit with Chest Squeeze
Hold a medicine ball (or just press the hands together if you have no equipment) and slide down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the floor while squeezing the ball. Hold this position and keep pressure on the ball as your straighten the arms out in front of you and slowly pull them back in. Repeat the chest squeezes in and out for 60-90 seconds and stand up.
Ski Jumps
Stand with feet together. Bend the knees and jump to the right as far as you can--think of jumping laterally rather than vertically. Land with soft knees and immediately jump laterally to the left. Repeat for 60-90 seconds.
March in Place
Aren't you tired? Take a few seconds to catch your breath.
High Jogs
Stand with feet together and hold arms straight out in front of you at mid-torso level. Jog in place, bringing knees high enough that they hit your hands (don't lower hands!). Repeat for 60-90 seconds.
Triceps Dips
Sit on a chair or bench with hands next to the hips. Lift up and take the hips forward, just in front of the bench. Bend the elbows and lower down until elbows are about 90 degrees. Squeeze the triceps to push back up and repeat 60-90 seconds.
Pushups/Side Planks
In pushup position (on knees or toes), perform one pushup. As you come up, shift weight to left arm, twist to the side while bringing the right arm up towards the ceiling in a side plank. Lower the arm back to the floor for another pushup and then twist to the other side. Repeat for 60-90 seconds.
AND Week Three Weekly Team Challenge -
Same water and calories challenge plus 500 crunches/sit ups for the entire week! No groaning you can do this! Make sure you perform abdominal stretches after the crunches. They are key to a quick painless recovery. You can do the crunches anyway you want 100 a day, 50 in the a.m. 50 at night or all 500 in one day. Its up to you!
AND walk, run, jog 5 miles this week all at once. No break , No stopping!
COME ON!! WE HAVE COME TOO FAR TO LET THE WIND GO OUR OUR SAILS! (and no Jill that is not an invitration for you to start cooking flipping beans again!!)

Acts of kindness- Signed up for an 5k Alzheimers walk on sunday. Spent time with a friend worried about her chances of getting alzheimers , telling her preventive measures and will sit up tonight to read more about what can be done.0 -
Today was nice! Good on cals and water, and did Plan B challenge. Will have to make up some more crunches tomorrow, and maybe some on Sunday. We'll see how my abs feel tomorrow....
Mini challenge for dance was too easy for me since SO and I had our very first dance lesson together tonight - ha! It was lots of fun, and we have another tomorrow, too. We learned and danced to salsa and swing.
For the AOK, I had to stop at the grocery store after work, and saw an older woman in a motorized cart, so I asked her if she wanted me to go around with her and help with her shopping. It was a really nice experience, and it was an eye-opening evening for me because of it. (She was/is single and, in my opinion, that's tough because she doesn't have children or an SO to help her out now that she is older. That must be a tough thing. But she has lots of friends and some nieces and nephews nearby.) Thanks for the wonderful suggestion, Jules. What a wonderful challenge. :-D0 -
W3D5
What a wonderful evening I just had!! I've been asking to go to 5 Guys (the BEST burger joint I have ever been to) for the last 2 weeks. Tonight Hubby took me! and then he took me to DAIRY QUEEN!!
Needless to say, my calories are WAAAAY over, so I'm taking today as my rest day. I am over on my water tho!
Last night my daughter and I rocked out to my favorite 80s tunes :glasses: ...dancing and singing all over the kitchen! We had a blast! Does that count as my mini challenge?
I will be out and about all day tomorrow, so AOK will not be a problem. Buying apples and going to make apple dumplings...wish you all were closer to me! :ohwell:
Everyone is doing so well! I'm so glad I joined you wonder group of ladies. The support has been amazing and i know that without all of you, i would not be so far in my quest for a healthy lifestyle! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Good night luvies! :yawn:
