DAY 4: Post your 4th day activities here

His starting weight was 700 lbs and lost 150 lbs in 20 weeks to compete at Spartan Race and he did it with pure determination and hard work! After watching this, I absolutely have no excuse to get my 30 minutes of workout in today. I hope this will kickstart your morning :-) thanks to my baby bro for sharing this video with me. He encouraged me to do the Spartan Race in November! Aroo!

Happy Thursday and let's conquer day 4!!!

    I saw this on The Today Show this morning and this is how I feel about you guys. To me, you're not just a bunch of names but you are my teammates and that we're all working on achieving the same goal - living a healthier life. Take time to watch and be inspired!

  • Miles 2.00
    Calories 253
    time 30.30

    The warm up on the treadmill was killer then I kinda zoned into the music and pushed myself to finish fast :) I'm even tempted to do weights this afternoon any thoughts on giving it a day of rest? also with alternating days of 2 miles and weights do I really need my leg exercises?
  • was that the 12 who each lost 100+? I thought of one of the girls tag lines next to her photo while on my morning treadmill run:

    I run for cookies :)

    I thought I may just change mine to say I run for potatoe chips and whip cream :D after I'm at goal of course

    It's so funny you mention that Dragonfly. When I'm craving something super bad, I try to remind myself, that once I get to my goal, then my exercise calories can be used towards that special treat. I just don't want to use them now as I like the deficit!

    Not had a chance to get my 30 in today, but I will. If it wasn't for the group I would probably not be doing it today. But I committed to it, so I will! :)

    I've been making it my mission to get a jump on spring cleaning the crap out of my house. Yup, I work up a sweat when I do it. It counts for me, AND I'm being productive. :-)
