Fall's Foxy Femmes - CLOSED GROUP - Week 1

rjnandjosh

Hi I am excited about the challenges. I started on MFP at 205 pounds I am now 171. My husband and I adopted four children and I want to live long enough to see them become adults. I am a diabetic and have high blood pressure. Since starting MFP I have taken less insulin and my blood pressure is under control. I have a long way to go to get to my goal weight. My goal weight is 130 pounds. I completed all exercises today and can't wait until tomorrow.

1 mile walk/run. Any suggestions of what to do when it is pouring outside and can't get to the gym for a treadmill? I do have about a 1/4 walk each way to my parking lot at work (so I guess I can count that).. I am working on the 5 day Turbo Inferno plan this week. I have Turbo EZ55 in and plan to do HIIT 20 tonight

Today's exercises done. Used tins of soup so they weren't my usual Body Pump weights but I'm struggling to fit it in properly on a Wednesday. I doubt I'll be able to log miles running/cycling/walking tomorrow because I teach two Zumba classes on a Thursday. Sorry.

The last daily challenge for this week will be on THURSDAY! It is a miles challenge based on how many miles you walk/run. If they are biked then divide by 4 === bike 100 miles will equal 25 miles. Any other questions?

Next week we will have a week long challenge again. It will be 1 point for each day you stay UNDER or smack on your calorie goal. Each person can earn a max of 6 points for the team....30 extra points all together. This means you have to track ALL of your food intake.

Good luck everyone!
