I hope everyone is having a great first day. I feel really good about mine. I am under calories for the day and drank 12 glasses of water. I swam, walked to pick my daughter up from school, did aerobic pilates, and finished the challenge for the day. I am feeling really motivated now, and I wasn't at all a few days ago.0

sara I'm a teacher too! that's awesome you squeezed in exercise. I need every second of spare time at work to get things done off the never-ending list but I have been trying to walk laps on the track around our field at recess time! It helps to keep tabs on the kids better too, walking all around where they are playing.
I hear ya! Usually, I have just enough time to make some copies, check in with a student who's falling behind, and prep materials for my next class before my precious 39 minutes are up. But today I decided to do my copies first thing in the morning, so I used about 8 minutes to do the exercises.
Enjoy your break!0 -

YOU GUYS ROCK!! :noway:
You are all doing such an amazing job with this challenge so far !! I'm so excited for all of you. Sorry I haven't been on this thread much - I work 2 jobs (one is my own massage business in the evenings & Saturdays), I usually walk to work and home every evening unless it's pouring rain (2 miles each way), AND trying to get this challenge off the ground, AND finding time to squeeze in my own exercises challenges!! Whew!! But you guys are so much encouragement for ME and I'm sure you are for each other as well!!
Hopefully this thing will start running smoothly and we can all start concentrating on the challenges, walking our gazillion miles, and LOSING SOME POUNDS!! :happy:
Have a GREAT Tuesday everybody!!0 -
Anyone else wake up with sore abs this morning?!0

If we update in googledoc's what we've done - do we still need to leave it on this thread???
(I'm kinda assuming not -as that would be redundant) :glasses:
interesting what I thought would be the 'killer' (plank) wasnt as bad as what I thought would be easy/ok (tricep thing) -
o my goodness - I really struggled with that one!! :noway:
have a WONDERful day0 -

How funny!!! You did great today! Everyone did!0 -
Of course I woke up sick on the 2nd day! I am determined not to let it set me back. My abs are a tiny bit sore, but the tricep exercise was the worst for me. I never work my arms and they are pretty weak.0

No - you don't HAVE to put what you've done on this thread... posting here is more for encouragement and just to let each other know how we are doing and "what" we are doing.... the place that I NEED to see the info is of course on the google doc spreadsheet - if you want your hard earned "points" for this challenge!! :laugh:0
