My 2010 challenge : 52 times 7/7

Chocolickkyss

7/7 for me today, did a Firm video total body workout, Vol6 with 40min additional elliptical, the kids home today threw me off schedule, heck it's been that way all week, can't blame it on just the kids!!!:laugh: :laugh:

Choco, I agree with Verda, P90x, will tone you! I dropped 8% when I did the first round, I didn't lose a whole lot of weight though, first I don't think I was eating enough and second, I just need to do more cardio! I would say that plyo is the toughest of the 12 dvds, only three of them are cardio. I'm sure you can handle them, just use a lighter weight on some...my favorite is arms and shoulders, but they are all good, be ready to Bring It! and you'll feel fantastic when your done, you'll do things that you didn't think you could...I'm over weight 50 pounds or so and I love the challenge. Decide, Commit, Succeed!!:bigsmile:

Makeitsue, Thank for the feedback. I'm beginning to think P90X is the way to go especially b/c I don't need to lose the weight anymore but still need to drop body fat. I hope to finish looking at the dvd over the weekend and then perhaps I can begin next week.

Good afternoon All - Sorry I have been MIA...

Haven't been around a computer and the crazy weather knocked the power out last night and today...
But - worked out Wednesday and today...two quick half hour sessions on the elliptical...I wanted to do more but just ran out of time...gonna make up for it on the weekend though! I have a 20 mile mountain bike ride planned if it stops raining!!!

Good job everyone - keep it up!

HI everybody,

choco- I have p90x but I still haven't looked at all the dvds. I love having it though and knowing that it is possible to work out at home, by just having the right weights. I've done plyo and that is like really a workout. Kinda like what athletes would do. I love ab ripper x and do it like 5x a week and I'm already seeing results. I will be doing p90x in the future, but because righ tnow I need to lose weight I am just running in the treadmill and doing lots of cardio.

I got my 7/7 today and did Jillian Michaels banish fat boost metabolism and ab ripper x for a total of 65 minutes. Again, I was sweating!!!!

Thank you guys for keeping me motivated to exercise. I am extremely competitive, so if it wasn't for you guys I would not have worked out this week. Some weeks it is easier than others. But the important thing is to keep moving.

Have a great day all!

I am 7/7. I do my P90X yoga on Sundays now as a rest day so I hopped on the elliptical for a Fat Burner workout and will do it again later because I have my three yr old grandson and he will play by me for a half an hour tops! Busy Busy! Good job crew!

You are taking the words right out of my mouth I was so tired this week, I just did not feel like working out at all. Having to come here and to keep the table up to date was really helpful and I too am competitive... I wanted my weekly point

Today was a good day even if Lily woke me up at 2 am :noway: I took a nap this morning and was in good shape this afternoon. I was in my stairs for 1000 steps and I did it faster than I usally do. I will have to increase the number of reps. I then went on the AKP and did 25 reps of all of the 7 movements except for the first for which I did 50 reps. I then spent 30 minutes on the rowing machine at the level 4 out of 8. Finally, I was 30 minutes on the bicycle at the level 5. I am back!! :laugh: :laugh:

I am missing Cc_cambell81's data for today than I'll post our results of the week. You are still 6 in the running for a perfect year, only 343 days left :laugh: :laugh: Actually, it is 344 days since there are 365 days in the year and 364 in 52 weeks. We'll save the 1 day for a bonus!!!

We are looking really good and we are going to win our battle.

Chocolickkiss, I hope you are going to stick with us when you will have reached all of your goals. It is important to keep on moving when the weight is off. It is how we keep the beautifull body we have worked so hard to obtain. :happy: We just don't need to work as much anymore

Lily seems to be a little calmer today, I hope the medicine is really working.

See ya!!

7/7 I did walking today because I am too tired and sore to do anything else plus my daughter is sick and was throwing up. Good week everyone.

I hope your daughter feels better soon.

Take care :flowerforyou:

Good Morning Everyone!

For this week I did 7/7 cardio and 2/7 weights,
My weight this week went down from 178
to 174!

I went out and bought new running shoes! (I have only been walking at this point, but when I hit the 150 mark I'll start running again!... I had bilateral surgeries on my feet last year so I need to be at a lower weight before I start really pounding the pavement again...

Hope all is well for you guys! I'll check back in next week!
: )

Chocolickkyss

Another 0.5 lb loss this week and officially 1 lb away from my goal weight. If I don't hit it next week I'm seriously considering have 126 lbs be my goal weight.

My day has not gotten off to a great start but i'm hopeful it will get better. I did not sleep well and my lower back is killing me. I did however make it to the gym and completed 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. I burned a total of 475 calories.

I actually had to come into the office today so I won't be able to check in as regularly but I hope everyone has a great day!

Chocolickkyss: 1/7

Starting the week with 1/7 doing yoga with weights and 30 minutes on the elliptical.
This week was all turned around and the kids home from school, the grandkids here for the weekend...but I did manage to get exercise in and that makes me happy. My weight stayed the same, but I'm also on my period and I usually gain, so I'm happy.

Great job everyone!!!! Have a great Friday!

Missouwechanged

I've got 1/7 too. Couldn't do as much because of my back so Hubby better do a real good job tonight or less... Well... Since I know he'll do a great job, the "or else" doesn't mean a thing :glasses:

I spent a great night with no meows... Finally. To top it of, I was awakend around 6 am when Lily was playing with my feet though the covers. First time I see her play :happy: :happy: There is hope for her :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I hope the back gets better! I too am having pain this week, but with all the sad things this week I missed my chiropractor appointment but I will be there Monday for sure!
I had to smile at Lily's coming around, they know who loves them and they will come to trust and be playfull! have fun!!

Missouwechanged

I sure will have fun with little Lily. Slowly but surely, my 2 other cats, Potato and Tequilla, are beginning to accept her. She is now allowed to sleep on my bed while they are taking a nap. They are so cute together.

I hope your back feels better really soon Verda, take care!!

MayLan

Hi everybody,

I'm glad everyone is doing okay and working out.

missou- I'm happy that Lily is getting more used to her new home and is happy.

I have to be careful with my knee because my leg and knee are bothering me a bit, I guess from all the running in the treadmill this month.

I'm reporting in for my 1/7 and today I did Jillian Michael's banish fat boost metabolism and ab ripper x for a total of 65 minutes.

Have a great weekend all!!!

Casi23

Happy Friday everyone!!! I got an hour spinning class in today. MFP says I burned over 700 calories...so that made my lunch so much more satisfying...

Missou - "Potato and Tequila"?!?!?! LOVE your kitty names...hilarious...

vhuber

I am 1/7 for this week too. I did a fast warm-up on the elliptical then my P90X Legs & Back plus ARX!
I have been reading where some are doing ab work every day. We are to treat our abdominal muscles like any other muscle and work them every OTHER day!
Also do NOT feel safe with the machine you are using for the calorie count nor what MFP says! I wear a HRM and get the REAL total. I use my commercial grade elliptical that is found in health clubs and I get almost 90 calorie higher difference on it than my HRM and my HRM NEVER is the same as MFP. MFP is always higher too!! I truly bust my you know what when I workout and my HRM is a Polar F11.
Just a few words of caution but keep on workin it!!!

1/7 Yesterdsy (Friday) I did 60 min of low impact aerobics.

makeitallsue

:laugh: :laugh: Very HIGH Energy here today!!!!:laugh: :laugh:

2/7 done with the grandkids, I popped in KenpoX AND WE HAD A BLAST!
I'm sure if any of the neighbors happened to be walking by, they would of thought I was killing the kids, we were screaming and jumping and kicking.....fun!
The weather is finally starting to warm up some, we are going to have some lunch and head outside..probably a muddy mess, but we're putting on pur boots and going for it.

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I'll check in later. ( I'll try to anyways..)

pinbotchick

2/7 today after doing 30 min step aerobics, 25 min of light weights/theraband ex and 5 min stretches. I plan to do week 8 day 3 of C25K training (hopefully outside) and at least 30 min of low impact aerobics later today. I love weekends - it gives me more time to exercise.

Chocolickkyss

Good afternoon ladies, once again i'm late logging in b/c I had such a busy morning. My day started w/a trip to the gym. I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes and completed a 45 minute kickboxing class.

Chocolickkyss: 2/7

My back felt pretty good this morning but I think I over did it b/c it's beginning to ache now. After the gym I head to various locations trying to complete all of the days errands so that once I returned home I could relax. All the errands have been completed so now I can either watch a movie or begin reading my new book......decisions......decisions......decisions.

BTW, even though weigh in days are on Fridays I decided to step on the scale this morning out of curiosity and to my surprised I had dropped another pound which puts me at my goal weight....WOOHOO....WOOHOO....WOOHOO. I won't record the weight until this week's weigh-in but it feels great knowing that with some hard work and dedication I have reached my goal. Let the maintenance phase begin.........

Anyhow, I hope everyone's day is progressing well.

vhuber

Great job everybody for workin it and to those that are losin it! :happy:
2/7 for me. 20 minutes hard on elliptical then 1 hour of P90X Kenpo using hand weights!

aprildh

I am interested in this challenge. I am proud of myself just for exercising 4 times a week so far this year. But this will motivate me to try for even more.

ivykivy

2/7 4 miles with Leslie and 1 mile on the treadmill

Missouwechanged

Great job everyone. Today, I was not into it. My eldest came to see us this morning, she and her boyfriend are no longer together... She is really sad... As for me, I really didn't feel like working out today. I didn't even feel like going on the treadmill, but I finally did it for 20 minutes at a good pace. I am proud to have done it. All I needed was a little kick in the you know where,

You are absolutly welcome aprildh!! I am sure we can help you out.

Great job everyone. Keep it up. I will go over the posts tomorrow.

Take care :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

hi all,

Got in my exercise for today and did kenpo x with weights, and cardio x, for a total of about 100 minutes. I was going to do less exercise today, but my hubby was having Red barons pizza and it looked so tempting, so I had a piece which was not planned on my daily calories. So, I figured I would work out to burn it off.

I had never tried kenpo before, but reading how you ladies have done it, inspired me to do it.

I have lost like 2.6 pounds this week and am super excited. Again, thank you all!!!

missou- Glad you were able to work out. Yeah, relationships are hard!!! Hope your daughter gets some much need TLC and that she can pamper herself to forget about her pain.

cc_campbell81- I hope your daughter is doing better. My 17 month came down with a fever and I've been homebound all weekend. If she continues like this, I'll call her doctor to have her see her on monday.

Have a great day all!!!!!!

Missouwechanged

Good morning all

Today, I feel better. I don't know what kind of exercises I'll be able to do, but I sure will try to do more than yesterday.

Hope you all have a beautifull Sunday
