Week 8 - SSS 13 week challenge (all teams)

Thanks so much to shapestocome for setting up the new Google docs spreadsheets for me! Hopefully I'll be able to get my laptop looked at this week and try to figure out why I can't get online!

For week 8 challenges, we are going to have to repeat last week again until I can get online (other than via my cell phone!) But I promise that I've been working on some new exercises! They're just saved to my laptop right now!

Sunday.......
Under calorie goal: Yes
Water: 8 glasses
Walked 5.2 miles
Challenges: No

    You can make it a daily challenge... that's what I'm going to do. I haven't jumped rope in like 75 years, so it should be very comical to say the least.

    This has been a rough month for me. Motivation has been long gone and even though I am doing well with the eating part of my plan, the excersise part has been non existent. I am trying to change that. I have not been posting every day on this thread, but I am keeping it caught up on the spreadsheet. I hope that is ok. I am glad to see most everyone is doing so well! Congrats to you all! I hope to suck some of your motivation into myself :)

    Week 8 Wednesday Day 4
    Exercise challenge: yes
    Under Calories: Yes
    Water: 12
    Miles Walked: 3
    Calories Burned: 507
    Minutes Exercised: 107
    Cals under maintenance: 449

    I'd have to leave town to get to any sporting goods store, but thanks - for some dumb reason I didn't think of that!! I guess I'll miss this challenge, but I still want a jump rope! I'm tired of winning all the hula hoop contests, it's time to brush up on my rope jumping and start competing with the kid on that, lol.

    I've been helping a friend move this week, so have had a couple of great burns, *and* I am not behind on the exercise challenges - I'm getting back on track! I didn't technically get off, but I sure wasn't feeling it for awhile, and I was having to play catch up on the challenges a couple of times a week. I'm hoping for a LOSS this week....or I might cry lol.

    Tomorrow is my long work day - the last I checked was Monday and I had 8 seniors signed up. Hopefully by the time I get there it will be more! But 8 is good and I'll be tired at the end of the day - and I'll have grocery money lol. Friday evening I'll be at a Blues Fest/benefit for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society, but should get plenty of exercise done first.

    Have a great weekend, everyone, and Teresa, your friend with the name-we-shall-not-use is in my prayers.

    Hey Quietlywinning. I'm here. I just can't seem to get on here, but I do log into the spread sheet.

    I skipped exercising yesterday to take my Dad to put flowers on the graves of our loved ones. I know it's becoming a lost tradition, but I have grown up doing this every Memorial Day weekend. It's nice to hear stories about those who have passed on and remember the good times you had with them as well.

    Hope everyone has had a wonderful and safe weekend so far.

    Last week 202.8
    this week 200.6

    I have not been too good with logging or walking or exercise the past 4-5 days. Our house has been taken over by babies and toddlers and they won't leave until Tuesday. (We have a tropical depression settling in for the next 48 hours, so the crew driving back to FL will have to stay another night and day it seems:huh: )

    But...it's wonderful to have my 2 little granddaughters here and our son and DIL too...just spending too much time in the kitchen and too little time outside:grumble: Hope to get back on track next week!!!

  • You ladies are doing GREAT!! And yes, I got my computer back!! Yay!!! Sorry quietlywinning that you thought we had all abandoned you... hehe. Holidays and weekends (and holiday weekend!) are the worst I think!!
