Just want to be a lot more healthier...THAT IS MY TRUE GOAL!

Week 1 challenge: "Challenged to do something you have NEVER TRIED BEFORE!
It has to be something GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH!
SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR GROUP!!"

Any excercise was always a challenge for me because of being born with lung issues. I'm already a miracle!

*****This week for the first time since high school my husband will assist me in doing "PUSHUPS".
I will keep you posted ....OH LORD!

I'd be so happy to drop the minimum of 5lb. ive been at a brick wall for the last 2 weeks. No weight loose, no drop in body fat nothing - i actually gained a pound! so ive upped my calories so that i net at least 1200 after working out. (sigh) i hope this doesnt screw me up for the next few weeks

Auntzip

Good Morning Rubies!

Everyone feeling good on day two? I've had a few sips of coffee, so things are great here! Apparently my car was on auto-pilot this morning... I made it to work sans coffee...
I'd like to give our team on more little challenge for today. Let's make sure we drink (and log) at least 8 cups of water.

Everyone in??

savedchild8

Good Morning!! How is everyone doing! Just say GREAT, and then make it happen! Well I did something that should go in the record books for me: I started modified "PUSHUPS" .... 5 wall pushups, and 5 knee pushups...... after my stationary bike riding. My work keeps me more sedentary because the bulk of my day is sitting at a desk mentoring. (mainly single parents) Lifestyle Changes: I am starting my day even earlier (5am), adding excercise as a part of my devotional time, PLAN MY MEALS AHEAD OF TIME (as much as a week, so they don't plan me)...LOL..will not be working into the late, late hours (as often), will not be eating at my desk, and I actually will start taking a 1 hour lunch break, and two 15 min. breaks. I set my own hours, my office is where I live, so I can be flexible. I LOVE encouraging others, but it is time I add quality "ME" time to my schedule. WILL YOU JOIN ME? Lots of love .... ((hugs)) SMILE NOW!! MAKE IT A BRIGHTER DAY!!!..... WE CAN DO THIS! *********************************** The more you weigh, the more energy you will use to push yourself up. That is why, according to Fatburn.com, a 200-lb. person will burn 13 calories in a minute of pushups. It might not sound like a lot, but a three-calorie increase (over the calorie total for a 150-pound person) is actually a lot for a minute of activity. A 200-lb. person will burn 64 calories in 5 minutes of pushups. Similarly, a lighter person will burn fewer calories doing pushups. A 130-lb. person will burn only eight calories during a minute of pushups, and 41 calories during 5 minutes.

Auntzip

Congrats! That is fabulous!!! :-)

I'm in! I'm sorry I haven't been home to get my SW but I'll log it tonight.

My challenge for the week: I'm going to do a 5-mile race. I've never done a race before!

Looking forward to our results! I'll be upping my water today (-:

JeanetteButler
