Please remember to stretch before and after all exercises.

I am by no means a professional in the area of fitness and suggest that everyone exercised at their own personal level to avoid any kind of injury.

Have a great week.

^^THIS, thank you for organizing it again. I don't have to lose a lot but I need a challenge like that for accountability. I'm trying to work towards maintenance and can already notice how easy it is to slip once I've upped my calories a bit.
Good luck and great achievements to everyone:flowerforyou:

Easiest part of this challenge for me is the water. I drink that and more a day and always have! Less sure about doing 100 lunges etc. Think I manage about 20 a day, guess i will be doing them in small groups initially!

Good morning, pals!

I'm not sure how many squats and lunges I did yesterday with The Firm Lower Body Sculpt DVD, but it was good enough for me! I'm still feeling it this morning! lol. Hope you all have a healthy, blessed day!!

Wed done bar the takeaway food bit. Got stuck late in work and only thing I could get was a subway. However I went for low fat healthier option with no cheese so I am improving.

I was doing good until thos lunges, but it was great to push myself to do exercise that I do not like. I'm enjoying this challenge so far.

Peachy_T

Happy GOOD Friday! I have 50 more lunges from yesterday to do in addition to today's pushups, but I will get them done! Can't believe I actually look forward to meeting these challenges! lol

I did the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 Level 4 this morning....talk about paaaaaiiiiin! But her video really helps w/ my sciatic nerve pain, & that's what keeps me coming back....still need to fit in a little walking today, but I'm home w/ the fam this weekend so that shouldn't be a problem. One thing I need to focus on more is journaling & posting on MFP. After we got back from mexico I kind of hit a wall.....me no likey! So I will be setting a goal to journal twice a week & sign into MFP twice a week.

I have no problems staying under my caloric intake & I'm on the Body by Vi shakes so I am getting protein as well. I absolutely love walking so again no problem there, just need to find a work out dvd that I will stick with!
