Wall sits are very hard have to do 4 more.
Is there a spreedsheet for the workouts? or are we just loging in here?
Great job Staci0 -

oooh I forgot. One of my goals for the month is to try 4 new foods. I tried mango today...and I won't be trying it again. The main problem was texture (I have this with a lot of foods) but that said I didn't overly enjoy the taste either. :sick:0

Okay, did 2 wall sits for 60 seconds each, then rode the bike for 5.5 miles and did a circuit of weight training. Then decided to try another wall sit. As my legs shook (and the gym probably as well) I made it for 45 seconds. I tried to get up and almost couldn't. I suppose I can probably add another 25 seconds to that sit as that is about how long it took me to wiggle my *kitten* back up the wall. 2 more to go and I hope to get them in after dinner. Oh Steph, I had no idea when you posted this stuff that it was going to be this challenging. Thanks for the extra push. :sad:0

Ok, I'm a little behind on the exercises...
but I have done the crunches, and about half the arm extensions....and will do a few wall sits before bed...and i'll do the other half of the wall sits and arm extensions tomorrow...as well as the press ups aaaargh!
But I have lost 2.5lbs YAAAAAAAAAAY!0 -
Finished my wall sits. The serious DOMS i am suffering made them interesting!!
I am so proud of all of you. I know this week is pushing a lot of people out of their comfort zones and I'm happy you are all trying everything. I think that this is the most challenging of all 4 weeks. Only 2 more challenge days to go once you are done your wall sits!

Good Morning folks!
Onyl 2 more days of torturous exercises left! Today is push-ups. 150 of 'em....extra challenge for those who want to try to get to 200 :noway:
I've decided to run to the gym this morning and then do Zumba. I'm feeling a bit better since I owned up and changed my ticker to reflect my back slide. Hoping to sneak a 30DS in later as well.
Come on chicks and roosters you are doing great!0 -
Well, I have been a total slacker this week with this challenge. I did attempt the calf raises, but only got 50 in because it was so late at night when I started. I have done 150 crunches this week, though still not where we were challenged to be. I will try to get the push-ups in today. The biggest positive for the day is that my daughter has agreed to walk the lake trail with me this morning, so we will be off for that walk shortly!!
I was going to put my updates from the last challenge on the other thread, but it's disappeared from my list, so I figured I'd just add them here. Oh yeah, and I did get up to 7.5 minutes on that dreaded elliptical without stopping! I still think that thing is the devil!!!
Weight: -9.2lbs
Neck: Same
Waist: -1in
Hips: -1.25in
Biceps: -.25in
Thighs: -.5in
Chest: -.25in
Bust: -.25in
Calves: -.5in
Not as great as I had hoped for, but still in a constant downward motion.
I hope everyone is having a productive week!0 -

Ok, I have seen you post this here and on your wall, and I am feeling really dumb right now. What in the world are DOMS? I'm assuming it's plural with the S, although it might be singular...help a sistah out, please!0 -
i'm just saying- i've done cardio every day this week - and mixed it up (so that's a yes to one of my personal goals)
i've done the crunches and 30 calf raises and 2 wall sits
but when school is back in next week i will be going back, starting over and doing all the exercises (plus strength training which is one of my goals)
also that said - i had the most delicious meal last nite, butternut squash rissotto and this amazing salad with blue cheese and pear, and didnt gain weight today! AND the host bought this wheat free dairy free amazing ice cream have ye ever heard of Booja Booja? only 183 calories for 100 ml serving and it is sugar free so it wasnt cheating! i bought some today 7.40euro for the pint but worth every penny!
going to a party today, everyone had to bring a dish, i just made chocolate covered nut clusters....they arent worth cheating to me
hope y'all have a great weekend!0 -

DOMS are Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.. They are evil, wicked things!! :explode:0 -
Done 150 But I confess I did 'em girlie style (my trainer would be freaking out at this!). Hope you are all getting them....those arms are gonna be sexy (Yes, Greg and Scott you too!)

Bobbie - i too was feeling DOMs0 -
Well I did my last 2 wall sits this morning. My legs were still sore. I did the 150 pushups, but did most of them on the kitchen counter. I did 25 in girlie position and almost passed out from the blood rushing to my head. I am going to try to do 50 more before I go to bed. I did not do a lot today, water aerobics (45 min.) and took the dog for a 2 mile walk which we now do in 31 minutes. The rest of the day I was lazy. Starting watching a movie but turned it off because it was really stupid, so I read half of Grisham's latest "The Litigators" Feeling great as I lost another 2 pounds. I think the water is really helping. :drinker:0

I'm not sure what next week's challenges will be, but I am going to have to add this week's challenges back in, so I'm not a complete loser!0

Good Morning!!!
Hopped on the scale this morning and it is moving again, in the right way. I think the running might be a good thing
Todays challenge is:
5 x plank
There are lots of different ways to do this depending on ability. When I started doing it, I was on the exercise ball. Hold yourself in the up position of a push up for as long as possible. Make sure your hips and shoulders are in alignment. You can do it on the floor or the ball. If your core is strong, come down onto your elbows and forearms and hold there.
I am aiming for 2 minuntes on at least 1 of my planks and no less than 1min 30 on the other 4 (I've been practicing this move for a long time!)0 -
RIght...
So migraine somewhat scuppered my exercise challenge plans...and I've had to be much less cardio active the past few days, but I figure sometimes you just have to listen to your body...
So far today I have done 2/5 wall sits and 2/5 planks...1 min each....and 50 lady press ups....I will get the rest of these done today aswell.
I am going to work on the triceps over the next few days...as I can't do more than about 10-20 at a time (I'm a bit of a weakling apparently)...and the same with the pressups...I fail after about 10...so I don't know whether I'll be able to get all of these done today.
calf raises 200/200 done
crunches 200/200 done
triceps 50/200 done
wall sits 2/5
press ups 50/150 done
plank 2/5 done
going to stick a bunch of winter veg in the slow cooker and make a yummy veg casserole, and make a chicken curry for dinner, as I'm feeling all wintery and don't want to eat everything in sight!0 -
Steph: I tried a plank this morning with the Wii Fit and couldn't hold that thing more than 5 seconds. I'll try again later on the balance ball, but damn! I think since most of this week's exercises are 200 reps, I'm going to split them up Mon-Fri @ 40 each to make sure I've gotten them done, along with doing whatever this week's challenge happens to be...better late than never, right???
Tonight I'm making that butternut squash soup for dinner with some pan fried chicken breasts. My one daughter really likes cream soups, so I told her I'd make it while she was here so she could try it. We'll see what the verdict is ;-)0 -
I kind of fell apart the end of this week. I was sick on Thursday, and this weekend has been kind of a mini-vacation (except we didn't go anywhere, just didn't go to work!). Got the calf raises and crunches done, but only about 50 arm extensions, no push ups, and no wall sits. I like Bobbie's idea of adding them to next week!
I posted this in the 100+ thread, but wanted to share it here, too...When I first started on MFP, I made my goal to reach 200 pounds by my 30th birthday, which at the time seemed absolutely impossible but sounded good. I have one year to go (well, 364 days), and I realized I just have to average about 5 pounds a month - and that's my goal for this month, even with taking the birthday and holidays into consideration! I can totally do this :bigsmile:0 -
Okay, I did my 5 planks and the longest I held one of them was 15 seconds. I will have to work in this. I had no idea they would be that hard when I looked at google to see how to do them.0
-
okay, I got 4 out 5 planks done. 2 x 2 min, 1 x 1.5 min and 1 x 1min. I would do the last one but the two minute ones at the gym have left me with serious floor burns on my elbows. I can't do them on the matts cause I just slide every where.
Tomorrow is an off day! If you feel like a challenge though, I challenge you to 200 squats. I am gonna try and get these in...but we are spending a fair bit of time on a bus tomorrow so the toilet stalls might be the only place I have time to do any!
So next week's challenge:
IT'S PERSONAL BEST WEEK!!!
This is the week to try and break your own records and share your successes! You have all week to break as many records as you can Maybe let us know what they are in order to push yourself so here goes:
Setting goals for this is a bit difficult for me as I am away Monday to Friday but here goes:
1) Run the 3km route at my house without stopping.
2) Run at 13.0km/hr for a whole minute0 -
I have set some goals for myself for the week:
1. Swim for 1 mile at one session
2. Walk 5K (not a competition, just for me)
3. Do all the exercises from last week again and try to increase time and reps.
4. Do 2 zumba classes (Wed, Sun.)
That is it for now. If I reach them, I may try to add more. This is great!!

Hey all I am back from the cabin. I did take my Insanity and wrote what the challenges were over the weekend so I could keep up. I did my push ups all 150. I did 40 regular, 40 girlie, 40 on a bench, 10 with my feet up on the bench and the last 10 at the kitchen counter. With all of the ones in my Insanity for Saturday it is going to be a challenge to get those planks done respectably today but I will give it my best.
My personal best goals for next week are:
1. To run a 10 minute mile
2. To hold the plank for 2 minutes by next Sunday
Okay planks done
1) 1 min 5 sec
2) 58 sec
3) 50 sec
4) 38 sec
5) 28 sec0 -
I've gotten in my normal workouts/walks this weekend, but I've fallen behind and haven't gotten my pushups/planks in. I'll get back at it tomorrow, and also repeat the others. Hopefully I'll get to tryout some of the new food this week as well.0

Hi All!
Personal Best week starts tomorrow! Today is a rest day but as previously posted if you want a challenge, 200 squats!!
I'm leaving very shortly for a 5 day geography field trip so I won't be around too much on the boards. Hope you all have a great week!0
