Friday 6th July.
Steps: 5,562
Week 1 total:59,218 \ 70,000
Miles 2.43
Week 1 total: 26.24 / 35
Had a rest day yesterday. I felt so tired and unmotivated. It paid off though because i have hit it hard today. Will update tomorrow on figures at the end of today.
I started resistance training at the gym. There is a circuit of 8 machines, they dont have weights on but the resistance builds the faster you go and i could really feel it working. I've got a little routine going now...
Walk the mile there.
Bike 5k.
Vibration plate to do my physio exercises i got given last week. Surely doing them on there can only be beneficial.
1.5 miles walk/jog on treadmill
1.5k on hand bike.
20 mins on cross trainer / elliptical.
20 mins on stair master.
1000m on rowing machine...
Walk the mile home.
Some times i will add a swim. I am aiming for 1000 calories plus per session on none work days, and it worked! Feel great afterwards and enjoying the full body workout. One things for sure makes getting my water in easier! Loving the gym! Hope your all having a great workout! x
Great to hear you so full of life hun. Sounds like a great workout. x0 -

35 miles- that's fantastic! Well done.
You're going to have another fab week. I know it! x0 -
Well, my week has been ok foodwise. Didn't quite fit in the exercise I planned due to an emergency trip this weekend to collect some poorly bunnies and get them into rescue spaces. Having an ear infection hasn't helped much either.
Logged 6 days out of 7 though.
Hope everyone has a great week ahead. xx0 -
Hi everyone, I'll join in.
Goal to get off the 4 lbs that I had gained back by the end of the month.
Burn 500 exercise calories per day.
Convert to doing pushups on my toes instead of my knees.
Avoid white foods, such as, white breads, white rice, white potatoes, etc......0 -

my calorie burn goal is 500 per day. Missed it on Monday since I burned 400, but yesterday I burned 600 so I guess I evened it out.0

Wow! You're really storming this challenge. Amazing babe. x0 -
Ok, so this hasn't been my best week. The ear infection really knocked me, then had several nights of night terrors and sleep paralysis due to some stressful stuff to deal with at work and in my personal life. Have physically only just managed to haul myself into work due to fibro pain and anxiety.
Anyhoo, that's enough of the depressing stuff. The good news this week is that I have been discharged by my psychiatrist! It feels a bit more as if I have my life back again.
Today I actually had a day to myself. I didn't wake up til 10.45am. Felt so awful that I went back to bed at 12.30pm and slept til 5pm!! I feel a lot better tonight.
I've logged most days this week and been drinking more water. It's a start

Hi sweetie, I am having similar problems at night and am finding it very hard to keep going. The exercise is keeping me sane though, so i am just rolling with it. It is making it very difficult though! Fybro is bad as a result to and anxiety with having no sleep. Totally understand where your at. Well done on logging and getting food logged. Hope this week is a better one for you..
Love you lots xxx0 -

Today is Friday. Had my PT session and got a new weights regime to go along side my cardio. Was challenging and i enjoyed it... Looking forward to watching my progress with this,,, x0 -
Aargghh.... I just can't fit everything into my days.
Super busy at work all week. Trying to do the housework in the evenings.
Was stewarding for the Torch relay today.
Doing a transport run for the rescue tomorrow- a parakeet, a pigeon and 6 guinea pigs.
6 mile sponsored walk on Sunday for another rescue (which may just kill me because I'm so unprepared).
Eating is erratic but not awful. Not getting to log til late, late late... then am too tired (actually tonight I am too drunk... hic).
Going to bed now.
Love you all lots. Especially you Zara. You are owning this challenge. xx0 -
Well, we did our sponsored walk yesterday. Six miles through beautiful but muddy woodland to raise money for a local wildlife hospital. I did it with my friend (11) and her friend (also 11). It took us about 3 and a half hours which wasn't bad considering the conditions and that the girls wanted to stop more frequently than I was hoping. I'm super proud of them though and we raised £160 between us.
Hope you're all rocking it. xx0 -
