i didnt get the exercise in yesterday but did do my stationary bike 12.5 miles and did some strength training.
I already did my bike and strength training this morning 773 cals burned....good workout. I will try to get in the arm exercise later.....have a great healthy active day everyone0 -
Thursday:
Burned 668 calories today. I did the elliptical at the gym and today and yesterday's assigned workout. I can now do 15 full push-ups but the are not the best form.
My dad was one of six children. His sister, Millie, was the last one still living. She passed away on Tuesday. Her visitation and funeral are going to be tomorrow afternoon/evening. I am going to have to go into work early and work thru lunch in order leave early to get there. It is going to be late when I get home tomorrow night so I doubt I will be able to get any miles in. I will do the best I can but it doesn't look very promising.
I will post my weight and measurements in the morning. Good night all.0 -
Thursday check in: Arm workout done. I did 15 non-modified push ups. Calories burned today was only 398.
I can't believe it's the end of August already! The year will be over before we know it!
Cheryl- I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt. May she rest in peace. I'm sending my thoughts & prayers to you & your family.0 -
August results :
My weight this morning was 162.0, up a pound from last Saturday. :sad: :huh:
Now my measurements, on the other hand, are more positive.
Hips - 39.5 (first time my hips have been below 40" in probably 20 years :bigsmile:)
Bust - 36.5
Waist - 31
R. Thigh - 23.5, L. Thigh - 23.75
R. Arm - 11.5, L. Arm - 11.5. I have the least measurement change in my arms but I am seeing muscle definition and it looks good.:flowerforyou:0 -
Friday Free Day!
You earn one point for your team today if you are active for 45 minutes. GOOD LUCK!! Today is the final day of the challenge. I will not be having a September challenge as my life has gotten too busy to keep up with this. I might be back in October though.0 -
Friday check in & weigh in: I'm at 132 lbs...did not lose or gain weight from last weeks weigh in. I was active for 50 minutes, walked a total of 4.5 miles. Measurements...the only change was in my waist down from 33.5 inches to 33 inches.
Good luck to everyone in September & thank you, Jackie for being our Captain this month! I know how demanding this is for you. So, enjoy the kids & their sports next month.
Take care everyone!0
