    Got a little sunburned in Amsterdam yesterday (not complaining, sun is GOOD!) but stuck to my healthy snacks and lunch I brought and only had one iced Mocha. I got up at 6:00 to get my C25K run in before heading out for the day, but didn't make it to the gym in the evening... I was dead after walking around all day and watching the hotties play basketball in the park :-D.

    I was a little confused about the challenge... are we suppose to pick individule challenges and post them for the week or is there going to be one challenge for us all?

    Hope you all are having a good weekend.

    Serious work Allie, thank you so much from all of you:flowerforyou:
    I'm sure you all now realize how important your consistent weigh ins will be, look at how much work is involved for Allie. We want to make her job as easy as possible.
    I HAVE to move us under another header or else we'll blow up this thread there's been soooo much response. I think we have a great group to get going.

    So last week I said I wanted to start the "Daisy Chain Challenge'...I nominate one of you to throw out goals for the gang for the week and then that person nominates the following week....so on, so on.
    I would love that the challenge include a workout regiment of some sort but it can also be paired with others like....
    No eating past 7:30
    Drinking 2 liters of water a day
    Having a meat free day during the week
    Whatever you heart's desire. This is YOUR challenge.

    My nominee for this coming week is.....DRUMROLL..... meokk :smile: :smile:
    Let's see what you come up with....I can't wait.
    Heather, I'm heading out for my 4th workout since Wed. So, check me off for completeing your challenge and thank you for it.
    Have a lovely Sunday kids, talk to you all tomorrow

    Hello all,
    Is the mini challenge over today and are we starting a new one for monday. I plan to exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes. I have not exercised for 5 years due to a back injury so I am starting slow. I just came home from the store with my meals for the week and my gym bag is pack for the gym before work tomorrow. I hope this is all ok. good luck everyone.

    Ok, I'll admit, Heather, I did not complete my four workouts. No excuses. Goal this week is 6 days of exercise. To keep my work schedule from interfering with my work out, I finally shelled out the cash for the P90x and a heart rate monitor. Starting day 1 of the P90x tomorrow and now I will have no excuse not to work out even when I come home super late.

    Interestingly, I tried out the HRM tonight by running up and down my stairs 50 times (I know, crazy), and, it looks like MFP has been significantly over-estimating my fitness calories :( Per HRM 50 times up and down the stairs burned 126 cal, by MFP that time of running stairs should have burned 170. Looks like I have been overeating my exercise calories.

    Anyway, better things this week!

    Hi Everyone,
    I was nominated for the challenge this week........ thanks Shredder!

    First of all, happy to report that I completed Heather's challenge from last week
    Thursday: 20 mins walking, 20 mins gardening
    Friday: 50 mins walking, 210 sit ups
    Saturday: 2.5 hours gardening
    Sunday: 4 hours gardening

    Your challenges for this week are...........
    CHALLENGE 1. Start the 200 sit ups challenge http://www.twohundredsitups.com/
    You start by doing as many crunches as you can in a row without breaks to determine your baseline capability. The program then tells you what week and column to start on and prescribes sets of crunches designed to get you stronger. By the time you finish you should be able to do 200 sit ups in a row without breaks. I just managed 210 in a row this week but I'm going to keep going.
    If you would like to keep going after this week there is already a tread devoted just to this program, started by my friend Cris. The tread is fizzling a bit so we'd love to have any of you for some extra support: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/83050-200-sit-up-challenge-2010?page=6#posts-1268682
    CHALLENGE 2. Find 15 minutes for YOU. The challenge is to meditate for 15 mins. Whatever method you choose but you should be alone, have peace & quiet, breathe deeply and contemplate for 15 minutes one day this week.

    Hope you all have a great week
    :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Well, I would like to thank all you wonderful ladies for such a great job so far this week. So many have finished Heather's mini challenge of 4 workouts in 5 days. I am happy to report that I too have finished this challenge... although I think next week I need to step it up a notch. I don't feel I put in my full potential for the week.

    Wednesday: a day from EA Active 30 day challenge + mini extra workout from EA Active + 15min Elliptical
    Thursday: a day from EA Active 30 day challenge + 15min Elliptical
    Friday: Went shopping and spent 1hr wondering + 20min outside on the bikes with my hubby + 10min Elliptical
    Saturday: Grocery Shopping with the hubby for 2 hrs... we doddle. + a day from EA Active 30 day challenge

    As for my personal goal of doing the Elliptical for 15min every day, that didn't happen. But today I went 25min as punishment :tongue:

    I am up for the new challenge from Meokk. I did my initial test tonight so that I can get started tomorrow. And then I'm going to continue aiming for a min of 15min per day on my trusty Elliptical. I also have a couple days left on my 30day challenge on the Wii. And then to try and amp up my progress I'm going to keep my eye open at work for some workout dvds (I work at a used goods store for the next two weeks before I start my old job new again...)

    Only 12 more days for Shredder's 5lbs... which I have piggy backed on. I dropped .7lbs today.. but that doesn't mean much I go up and down like a yo-yo.

    Here's to a great week ladies!

    Cool challenge, Meokk. I took the sit up challenge and I am ready to start the program! I love the 15 minutes of meditation, too! Might try to do that daily!

    I will accept challenge two for sure... I definitely need my 15 minutes for me. My thing with Challenge 1 is that I already have strong abs, and I don't want to do that much work on them because all it is going to do is build the muscle under the fat layer and make my stomach look bigger. I need to loose the fat off my stomach first (which of course is exactly where it goes first and comes off last!). Personal challenge this week is to get up at 6:00 for my C25K runs before work so I have time in the evening for a 1 hour Eliptical workout. Happy Monday everyone!
