Hello Everyone!

How did you all do with last week's water challenge? I hope well. I managed to get in all my water everyday :smile:

Week 8 Challenge: Do 3 sessions of cardio and 3 sessions of strength training. It does not matter how long you do it, or if you do 2 in one day (ie. a session of cardio & strength training in one day)

Good luck everyone!:drinker:

    Sounds like a good challenge.
    I did well with the water. I don't really have a problem with water. I have 2 1 Liter bottles that I fill up for the work day then I drink at least one bottle of water in the evening during my workouts.
    Good luck to everyone on this week's challenge. :bigsmile:

    Good Morning!

    I didn't get either exercise or strength training in last night. I went to my parents for supper and by the time I got home I was too tired to do anything (I went to bed at 9! :yawn: ) Anyways, today is a new day, so I plan on doing my run and some strength training tonight :smile:

    Ice it and take Ibuprofen. Maybe even elevate it for the time you are icing it. I hope it gets better soon. :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Okay, I started this lifestyle change the beginning of this year with a workout program that my fiance' set up for me and I just started eating better foods. Then in June I decided to do P90X. I am feeling awesome and like I can take on the world. I still have a lot of work to do, but I am much better than I was 9 months ago. I thought that I would share my before and after pics. You will need to copy and paste into a new window in order to view them.

    Thanx Smay, I appreciate it. I still am not happy with how I look, but I am still working on that. Plus that outfit is not very flattering anyway. I am still working out pretty much every day and doing my best to eat clean. I am slowly lossing about a pound a week and that is progress. :bigsmile:

    Good Morning!

    How's everyone doing with their challenges? I have gotten in my 3 sessions of cardio (c25k), now I must do my strength training. I find that I am not as good at getting that in. Tonight I have a yoga class (my first one), so I am excited for that. I have done yoga before at home with a dvd, or tv shows, but I have never gone to a class. Here's to hoping I can still move tomorrow :laugh:

    I am excited for you. If you have done it at home that will give you a good basis. Please let us know how you liked it. :bigsmile:

    Hello all!

    Sorry, it has taken me so long to post again. I thought that maybe this week I would keep the same thread going, as there is not a whole lot of posting going on :grumble: But, I know, my fault too. I don't know where all of our members went..... maybe we will get some more :bigsmile:

    So, how did you do with last week's challenge? I did great with the cardio, but only got in 2 sessions of strength training. I was hoping that I would get all 3 in, but, didn't. Oh well, there is always room for improvement!!!

    How was everyone's weekend? Mine was great! Went to my older brother's wedding on Saturday evening, and had a ball! I know I prob drank more than I should have (but there are times for exceptions.. like this...:laugh: ) But I danced so much I wouldn't be surprised if I burned all the bad cals off :laugh:

    Have a great day :flowerforyou:

    oh....

    Week 9 Challenge: Log all the food that you eat and try to stay very close to mfp recommendations (I know that it is easy to stray away or not log everything) AND drink all your water!

    Good Luck :drinker:
