Thanks Jen. Weekend was amazing. Now I need few days off to recover from it :-) but back to work for me also.0 -
5/28 - exercises done, 7 push-ups (regular push-ups are still so hard!), no miles (Thanks to our wonderful weather here in Jacksonville, FL, I haven't been able to get out and run)
5/29 - burned 550 calories, Tabata(s) below, 115 squats (I love squats, but I don't like the sounds my knees make.)
5/30 - miles
5/31 - burned
Since I can't run outside, I've been doing more exercises inside. I couldn't decide on my Tabata, so I did 4 of them (upper body, lower body, abs and cardio)...
Upper Body: 20 sec modified push-ups: 10 sec rest
20 sec tricep dips: 10 sec rest
20 sec dumbell bicep curl: 10 sec rest
20 sec dumbell shoulder press: 10 sec rest
(Loved this, but the dips got really hard!)
Lower Body: 20 sec squats: 10 sec rest
20 sec straight leg deadlifts: 10 sec rest
20 sec bridges: 10 sec rest
20 sec hamstring curl: 10 sec rest
(The glutes really felt this!)
Abs: 20 sec crunches: 10 sec rest
20 sec reverse crunches: 10 sec rest
20 sec bicycles: 10 sec rest
20 sec torso twists: 10 sec rest
20 sec plank: 10 sec rest
(Added a 5th exercise in this one. The abs were on fire!)
Cardio: 20 sec jumping jacks: 10 sec rest
20 sec burpees: 10 sec rest
20 sec high knees: 10 sec rest
20 sec mountain climbers: 10 sec rest
(I hated this one, mostly because I hate jumping jacks and burpees. But, I pushed through all 4 sets, as ugly as they may have been!)
I hope I can get outside and get some miles in tomorrow!!
BetterWithAge - Thanks! This one is a short one, he'll be back by the weekend, just missing our daughter's 2nd birthday on Thursday. June will be a longer one (3 weeks), then he's leaving for 6 months this summer. Our time is counting down too quickly! Great job with 12 push-ups!0 -

I am sorry to have been MIA this week. I have been working a lot trying to reach "end of the month" sales goals. I am SOOOO happy it's Friday and kinda bummed that we are not doing anything for June.
GREAT JOB this month ladies... Keep moving and keep in touch0 -
Weigh in 126.
I too will miss June. But my new grand baby will be joing us any day now!!!! Belinda is finishing getting her house ready.
We must keep on track this month.0 -
I was up in lbs. this morning. Have really been snacking tooooo much this week.
Would you guys like to just check inherent everyday in June so we have an accountability of what we do. It could be just tell us what exercise we did for the day. Keep the thread open????
Let me know if your read this....0 -
I knew that she was getting close. You must all be so excited.
I was thinking the same thing today... We should challenge each other maybe, like have or own June challenge. Instead of a 'team' challenge... We challenge each other. Let me know who is in and I will come up with something by Monday.I was up in lbs. this morning. Have really been snacking tooooo much this week.

I am in Jen..... 2 days in a row now that I haven't exercised. I think all we have to do is use the exercises we have been doing. The thread Belinda used to get the exercises to us is still there. I sure would appreciate it for sure. It just keeps me accountable. I wonder if the other girls will even check in here now that we aren't doing a challenge in June, Let me know.0
