    If you get a minute, share with us the biggest obstacle you will have in succeeding with this challenge....... Mine is that I never finish what I start. I have & bad day & QUIT! The "I'll start AGAIN next Monday" mindset. Meanwhile it's only Monday afternoon!! LOL So, knowing that you are ALL depending on ME to see this challenge to the end will force me to NOT QUIT!!! I'm the type of person that would NEVER let someone else down but I quit on MYSELF ALL THE TIME!!!

    I'm also a motivational quote junkie so I hope you don't mind when I share them.......

    As far as my biggest challenge to complete this challenge, mine is the fact that I am headed down a binge eater road these past few weeks and that is the main reason behind my giant increase in weight. I am going to really focus on eating well and not binging during this challenge and beyond. I can't really figure out why I do it cause there is really nothing stressing me out or making me mad so I just need to stop making excuses and get my butt in gear.

    I had a great 1st day. Even though I had a very busy day, I made time for myself to go for a run. I hope everyone else had a great first day. If you didn't......forgive yourself.....it's not the end of the world...move one, and have a great day tomorrow!

    Right now my biggest obstacle is that I can't seem to get back into exercising or eating right this last month. I do good for a week then I take a week off. So disgusted with this mindset. I fully plan on exercising when I get home tonight. I am starting a Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire hybrid. I had great results with it over the summer. I think if I can stick with it this time I will reach my goal weight. My last round I lost 24 pounds and 25" doing it. Hope my results are that good this time. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

    Is it too late to join? I said I wasn't going to join a December challenge but if I don't I won't work out.
    Starting weight is 179.6 on 12/11 and I would really like to lose some face fat for the Christmas pictures.

    My biggest challenge is all the holiday food around right now. Candy and cookies delivered to the office, no telling what my mother will send us. She send a Juniors cheesecake last year, can you imagine?

    Echo - If you don't mind could you post a link for me. I have not completely decided on what to do. All I know is that I was planning on doing CX 3 days and get in 5 cardio workouts a week. Right now I was thinking something like this:

    Monday - CX, HIIT 15
    Tuesday - TF
    Wednesday - CX
    Thursday - TF
    Friday - CX, HIIT 20
    Saturday - TF

    Let me know what you think!

    Am I allowed to post outside links here? It was on the beachbody message boards. I can look up the girls name who posted it and the name of the post so you can find it.
    The thread is called: "CE/TurboFire Hybrid Spreadsheet attached - this is what i came up with" by damaranicole. It mixes up the HIIT and the cardio over the weeks so you still have different months of each. You aren't supposed to do the hiits for too long cause then you get used to them. But her sister Jenelle also posted a turbo/clx hybrid that she follows and it seems like she does a hiit at least once a week. I had that bookmarked but the girl made her blog private I guess so I can't give you the link for that one. I googled around for it before and found it though.

    Whenever you weigh yourself in & have a loss to report-POST IT- whenever & however often you'd like!!! I don't know about you but seeing others succeed will only add fuel to my fire! :P

    I did not have the best day today.... ate fine but felt VERY tired & run down & just DID NOT want to workout! I got groceries & cleaned house so I certainly had some "activity" but was not feeling up to a strong workout. I did finally hit the weights & logged my grocery getting as slow pace walking. (I'm set as sedentary so I feel I can get away with this-LOL) So much of this battle takes place in the mind! Yesterdays WALK should not have tired me out so much. To me it's just another sign of how out of shape I have become in about 1 years time. You see, a year ago I weighed 150 lbs & could run 5 miles 2-3 times a week! Weight train or elliptical on my days off from running. I'm SOOOOOO disappointed in myself that I let myself get out of shape!!!!! Long story but job related stress with hubby that involved us potentially having to move.... Anyways today's motivational quote/image sure hits home with me!!

    I would love to be a part of this and wouldn't feel left behind at all!

    My starting weight is: 191lbs

    -as well as: your side profile picture reminds me alot of Princess Diana. Very elegant.

    I had a good day today. We went for an early morning run, which I hadn't done for a long time. We've been trying to do some cross training, and I think it is definately helping because I was able to run a lot further than I thought I'd be able to do.

    My biggest fear is to give in to all the junk food. I know that once I start, I find it hard to stop. So far, I'm doing really well with my food, and I just want it to continue!!

    I think the biggest road blocks this month will be the weather and knitting. It is so hard to get outside when it is so cold out, 14 this morning. I plan to over come that by praying for snow so that I can cross country ski. I still have Christmas presents to knit and I don't think I can knit on the treadmill. Maybe I could on the bike though .......

    So my day 2 wasn't the best. I started great....went for a run in the morning. But there was SO much Christmas goodies and junk food in the staff room today, I couldn't resist. I ate some, then more and more, then figured I blew my whole day, so I ate a bit more.
    Not the best at all....but at least I went for a run. New day tomorrow.

    Last night was Fire 30 for me and the food end of things even went well. Tonight will be Burn Circuit 1 and HIIT 15 before my older kid's chorus concert. Will be a crazy hectic evening but it will all be worth it. Have a great day. Seems like everyone is already burning it up.

    On an up note I was down to 156.2 this morning. (probably water retention from the food over the weekend :blushing: )

    Last couple of days have not been very good lately, but I was 190.8 this morning. I will take that. Thank-you Skatterdragon for the inspiration and challenge.
