    Hello Olympians! How are we all doing?

    Sorry I've been a little quiet, this isn't usually my style, but I've got a pretty sick baby, and have been correspondingly distracted! I let stress eating (and two long john donuts) get the best of me today, lucky for a good long run to keep me under my calorie goal!

    Exercises Done!
    Water-12 glasses and counting :)
    Under Calories, a guilty and undeserving YES! ;)
    Running Challenge, 8 miles closer to done!

    On the walking challenges you get credit for every single mile.... So YES, those 2 "extra miles" count too. You would put 4 miles on the spreadsheet!

    Tessannharris, I am so inspired by your runs!
    3 days in and I am doing great--did exercises for days 3 and 4 today. I am definitely worried about the weekends though. Those are much harder for me to stay under my calories and eat properly since I usually either go out with friends or visit my parents for the weekend. Anyone else have trouble with weekends/advice for me?

    Ok... the leg lift and hold thing for 60 secs today was tough for me. I know we are supposed to only lift our legs up a few inches and hold... I couldn't even do that 15 seconds. But if I raised my legs up - not quite to 90 degrees but probably 75 degrees, I could hold that for 60 seconds. But no more than that. I need more core strength obviously!! lol

    Also... the pistols? Yea... I couldn't do 1... hahaha

    Everything else I did great though!

    Hi all,
    I can't do a weigh in today because I'm at my parent's house--no scale--so I'll be weighing in on Monday.
    Amazing grace- can I message you my weight Monday? If not you can just give me no points for this week and hopefully a bunch next week!!
    PS great job to everyone who weighed in so far!
