    I did the ab challenge for today, and I have had to modify every day and boy are my abs sore, squats now seam easy compared to these.:laugh:
    I'm still working on my vision board, I'm going to put it on my fridge, as a reminder to me.
    I'm also logging my food and staying under my calories . I'm trying not to eat back exercise calories.

    Fantastic Carrie! I know it must be hard for you to work your abs at all after that bad fall you had. Please be careful! You are doing so wonderful! Friendships make all of this work a whole lot more fun! :flowerforyou:

    I did my abs challenges... I think my abs might explode in the near future. :sad: At dinner I kept telling my son "Don't make me laugh... it hurts".

    I think I will probably have my board done tomorrow.

    I was right on track with my calories and then a evening visit to the Urgent Care for my 9-year-old changed our dinner plans. I am too tired to finish logging but I think I may be over by just a little. I will push it harder in the gym tomorrow morning to make up for it just in case.

    Team Bob gets an A+ for participation!!! I am really proud of you all and the teamwork we have here! :heart: you all!!

    Here is something interesting I wanted to share with the team. :happy:


    Here’s a fun way to turn your driving time (e.g. sitting at a stop light) into a mini-workout and one that can do good things for your chest, shoulders and arms.

    You’ll be using a principle called static contractions.

    To work your chest, while keeping your arms straight out in front of you, place the inside of your wrists against the outside of the steering wheel in the 10 and 2 or 9 and 3 positions. Don’t grip the wheel. Now try squeezing the steering wheel and hold that squeeze for 6-10 seconds. Release and repeat two more times.

    For shoulders, simply do the opposite; place the outside of the wrists on the inside of the steering wheel and push out (opposite of squeezing) and hold for 6-10 seconds. Release and repeat two more times.

    For arms, place both palms of your hands under the steering wheel and tense the biceps. Hold this position for 6-10 seconds. Release and repeat two more times.

    I try to make the right choices. Challenges like this one really help to keep me on track and focused. If I fill up on good stuff there's no room left for that other stuff I want. I don't know if it helps others but I love it.

    That's fabulous yspen42!:happy:

    I'm going to put my vision board up in the kitchen too. I'll try to take a picture of it and post it later to share with the team. I also have a YMCA membership like you. I did have a Planet Fitness membership. It was only $10 a month so it met my needs. However, we recently changed to the Y so the whole family could be more active. It is more expensive but so worth it! My son is swimming, playing racquetball and can use a special gym for ages 9 - 13. I am taking classes and trying new things to challenge my body. It has been fun. Keep up your good work!
