January 20-26- Let's Finish January With A Bang!

Carmennorth

All right, I am liking the points system... And for those of us who are more active, we will start a contest next month that will run throughout February. We are all on the honor system, and everyone is expected to keep up with their own points. The challenge will run starting next week through the end of February. The winner at the end will win both bragging rights, and will choose the exercises we are doing for the first two weeks in March!!!!!! If any of you have other ideas on what we can bring to the winner, please let me know.....

There will be 10 components to this week's challenge.....
1. Post your points for last week's challenge on either this week's discussion or last week's (mine are already up- 6/7)
2. Drink 9 glasses of water
3. Record your food in the MFP food diary every day (let's see if I can actually achieve this one for once-lol)
4. Check your weight next Saturday- give yourself a point if you have LOST weight
5. Do one exercise class/online class that you do not normally do and post it here- also rate it for us, we may try it out too...
6. Do 180 minutes of cardio
7. Do 60 minutes of weight training
8. Do 400 Sit ups and 200 push ups (any variation of them is fine)
9. Do 300 Lunges
10. Do 500 Jumping Jacks/Jumping Rope/Climb 500 Actual Stairs.........

This is an intense week- Let's GET IT DONE!!!!

Hey , hope you are all doing well. Dropped the ball on the exercising this week (so far I am at about 60 mins) - I really needed to rest but I kept up with my diet and logging my food and wouldn't you know it - my weight down. As of this morning I am out of the 180s - logging in at 179.8. My weight hasn't moved in weeks, so I am very happy about that. I will try and get as much exercise as I can today and tomorrow and hopefully knock one or two items off the list. Come on everyone, let's end January with a BANG:explode:
