10. Name 3 things you like. Be creative! time with my girls. Can't beat a good girly chat and laughs, the Lake District - quite possibly my favourite place in the world and reading (i'm a bit addicted. I once read 12 books on a 14 day holiday...)0 -

Wednesday : drinking challenge good and workout completed. Good thing this isn't sodium challenge week cos I went way over on that today. This means I am drinking lots of water to try and compensate. I hear that will offset the sodium some and I sure hope that is right.0

Hello everyone!
My Hubby is out of town, so I've been running around with the kiddies - school, football and soccer practices, homework, etc!
Tomorrow will be crazy too, so I don't know if I will be on here as much. My son has his first home game, the twins have soccer prac, and its Back to School nite at the elementary! Dinner, baths and homework will be squeezed in there somewhere! Lol!
Tuesday check in - beverage challenge complete. Exercises done also. I really liked that leg routine -feeling it still! I did the exercises at the field where the girls practice. Mellie says 'you're working out HERE?'. Too funny!
We'd check in - exercise and beverage challenges done!
Have a wonderful Thursday! I'm looking forward to seeing all the videos!0 -
wednesday check in completed exercise and didn't drink any calories!0

Thursday:
Drank no calories today.
I found my workout on youtube: beginner kettlebell. I have been doing the kettlebells off & on for a couple of years and it is a very good workout. I have to stay very mindful of my back and core and also careful not to flop it into my leg. Talk about a bruise...:sad:
I thought by looking at the beginner, maybe I could get some pointers on form and I did. The location is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pDMOIlPLFE
It is a warm-up, 3 sets, cool down. I only had time to do the warm up and set 1, which took me 18 minutes (my computer stops every couple of minutes to catch up :huh: ) I am saving this to my favorites for future use.0 -

Hello again!
Here's my video link -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpoDlaDubUI&feature=related
I liked this one because it does not require any equipment - just you!!
:flowerforyou: Ladies, I hate to have to keep bugging you, here or by private message, but I REALLY need you to check in daily. If you cannot check in daily (which happens, we all do have lives outside of MFP), please retroactively check in. Just a recap if possible - for example:
Monday - exercise challenge and beverage challenge done
Tuesday - exercise and beverage challenges done/not done.
That's all I need. This is a TEAM challenge, so when you do not check in, or report your progress, the team loses points.
:bigsmile: We are coming up on the end of the week, and the end of the month is right after that! Lets finish this strong!:bigsmile:0 -
this is the exercise I did for yesterday.....really easy but effective and quick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzC9Eovj2xE&feature=related
I didnt drink any calories either and did my exercise bike for 40 mins and did a 60 min walk it was a good day....lets just hope the scale cooperates.....
I got a walk in already this morning will try to get in the exercises later....have a healthy active day0 -
Friday: Did not drink any calories. Also did not get to the ab workout tonight. We went to see our granddaughter and didn't get home until after 10 tonight. I will do them tomorrow.0

Hubby is home! So now I can get my cardio going again...and sleep thru the night! Lol! When he's gone I don't like to leave the girls aloneto go on the treadmill. And I feel like I don't sleep well cuz I'm always worried I won't hear my babies! So, now my world is as it should be! :laugh:

GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Ahhhhh...the end of another month is here! And it is at the same time as our weekly questions! So, I think they are all gonna be team/exercise questions -
What was the most positive thing you got from this team? I love when everyone one talks about their experience with the challenges - makes it easier for me to complete them when I know everyone is doing the same things as I am
What was lacking? Or what did you need that you didn't get? I really wish there was more participation
What did you think of the level of exercises? Too hard, just right, too easy? I like them this month, there were a few days that were harder, but overall I liked them
What would you like to see more of from our team? More daily check ins, more sharing
What could you easily skip? (Don't feel bad if you say these questions! ) the 100 oz challenge!! :drinker:
Is there anything I can do more/less of that would help you on your journey?
And-
How did YOU do on your personal goals this week? I didn't meet my goals for cardio, but hubby was out of town, so I knew it was gonna be hard.
Did you make your month goal? no, but I didn't gain! So that's always good!:bigsmile:
Any NSVs this week? I ran a little over a mile straight! Which I thought was wonderful since I haven't run in about a month!0 -
