Over 200 Club Week 4 (open group)

abagwill

New Challenge: The walking challenge

Yes, its cardio again BUT it is something we do ALL the time! It's the walking challenge and I want you to track how many minutes you walk (that gets your heart rate up, not leasurely) and post it in this week 4 board. Any way of walking works, in place, up a hill, around a track, on a treadmill, on the stairmaster etc as long as you are walking it counts (as long as you are walking at a brisk pace!)

REMEMBER: This week we look at our goals and see where we are and where we want to be in another 4 weeks! SO, work really hard and keep up the good work! You are all doing super awesome and great!

Remember weigh in is on Friday so work hard to hit those goals!!!

Questions or Concerns, contact me!

So, if it's physically impossible for me to be under 200, does that exclude me from the over 200 club or make me a life-long member? :ohwell:

Hopefully I will be able to get some good walking in while in Phoenix. I am so glad that my HRM came in the mail before my trip. That will make it so much easier to track everything on the trip.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Just weighing in for yesterday. I lost about .6 lbs for week 3, so my current weight is now 200.4. Considering last weekend, I'm happy with that.

As for walking, today I did 30 minutes with Leslie Sansone's 2 mile Walk & Tone.

jcpm98

I only did 30 minutes for yesterday 2/21 and hopefully I will get more in today, renovating my house and it is taking up most of my time!!:grumble:

For anyone who likes to snack at the movie theater . . .

My kids and I are headed to the movies this afternoon, and since I can never say "no" to popcorn, I've eaten pretty light today and did some research online in hopes of justifying this tasty treat. Here's what I found out about calorie counts for favorite movie theater snacks. I've inserted a few comments in [ ]. Maybe I'll forgo the pop corn this time! :sad:

[I almost got one of these at the ice rink last night! Whew, glad I didn't!]
Cotton Candy (2.5 oz): 300 calories, 0g fat, 74g carbs
Junior Mints (3 oz): 320 calories, 5g fat, 68g carbs
