High Heels & Fishnets!!!!!

I can do about about 5 half pushups (on my knees). I hate, hate, hate pushups and have no idea how to get where I can actually do a few.

the challenge for situps also has challenges for squats, pushups, etc. Here's a link. You can also log how many you do, etc

I really hate pushups too

mykidsmom

Try doing the push-ups with your hands on the side of a yoga ball pushing out from a wall.....major burn!!!!!

Found you.

Woo hoo! Was I supposed to weigh in on Friday the 16th? I was 192 - the same I am now.:grumble: I missed Heather's challenge for the 4xwk workout - I only did 2x last week only because it has been a hectic weekend. Normally though I make it my mission to go workout 4Xwk.

The sit up challenge - is to do 200 at one time? No stopping? If so I am going to try that this week for the new goal. Meditation - I fell asleep trying it :laugh: - guess i was more tired than I thought. But will try again! :huh:

This week I am back on track when you have multiple events going it's hard to get online and stay on point. To another week :drinker:

Hello All,

Today has been a crazy day for me. I used to get stressed out and stuff something bad in my mouth but today I didn't and I was proud of myself because I was starving. I packed a lunch but wasn't able to eat it. I missed the challenges for this week. But I am in the 200 sit up challenge. ?? are they full sit ups or just crunches. I'm going to attempt full situps tonight. I'm pretty sure I won't be at 200 but I will do them until cry lol I am also going to do the meditation challenge(I need that0

My ankle is twisted and it hurts so no aerobic exercise tonight but I will do the sit ups and push ups and light house cleaning.

I hope you ladies have a beautiful day.

Hi everyone,
There seems to be a bit of confusion about the challenges for this week .......
1. 200 sit ups challenge
2. meditate for 15+ minutes

The sit ups challenge is not to try and do 200 right away but congrats if you can. The challenge is to start the 200 sit ups training program found at http://www.twohundredsitups.com/index.html After doing a initial test, the program takes you through regimes that you do 3-4 times per week culminating with the ability to do 200 in a row. This might take you 3 weeks, it might take you 3 months but all the time you will be getting stronger.

Cris (seen above) got me into doing this about 2 months ago and we both just managed to do the 200 in a row this week.

Hey tjones,
It's crunches, they show you the correct form on the website http://www.twohundredsitups.com/index.html
May the ab gods be with you:flowerforyou:

Hey everyone! Hope everyone's week is going good.
Did W1D1 of 200 sit up program last night and walked 3 miles today. Going to do w1d2 of the 200 sit ups tomorrow night.

Have been pretty good about staying in my calorie range but ate over my calories today. Was craving Zaxbys and I had been doing so good so I decided to get some... but when I ate it, it wasn't as good as I had remembered it being. And it definitely wasn't worth the dang 900 calories that I looked up and found out it was. OMG!!!

So tomorrow I'm definitely going to have to either do walk away the pounds dvd or biggest loser bootcamp plus walking/jogging 3 miles and doing the sit up challenge.

Hope everyone is having a good night and the challenges are going well for you all!

I would love to join the group if it isn't to late. Just let me know what I have to do to get started. Thanks!

I can relate. I always remember those things as tasting sooo good and feeling a little deprived. But then when I eat it, it isn't half as satisfying as I had planned and then have major guilt and failure feelings! I wish I could capture that feeling so that the next time I get a craving I can just go... loooook! See how it made you feel last time, it isn't worth it!!

AlynnP1005

Argh, its only 930 am here and I am really struggling. Its one of those days, and all I want is to eat, eat, eat!!!

HeatherMN

Alynn: I call days like you're having today "hungry days." When my boyfriend and I mention having a "hungry day" we both know we need to start thinking of a healthy dinner to have together to keep us from going way overboard. Good luck to you because I know how hard those days are!

Kristy: That's great that you fell asleep meditating. I haven't done it yet this week, but I'll probably have the same problem. I thought about doing it last night, then went to bed instead.

Meokk: Last night I meant to start the situp challenge, but forgot while I was doing laundry and reading the new Womens Health and Self magazines that came in the mail. I'll get started on it soon, I promise. Super busy week...

Tonight is the first night of our therapeutic riding season, so I'm excited. I love seeing the riders after being away from them for six months and visiting with fellow volunteers. Good times! I'll spend about 3-4 hours walking around the arena, so it's good exercise without trying. Yay!

nolachick

this week's challenge has not been very successful. I haven't given myself ME time but think I will do it today.
as for the situps challenge I was about to do 50 in a row so that's not too bad. i will try to pick up on the challenge again today

bennettv

Found!

Bee28

I hope everyone's having a great week! So far, I haven't found the time to meditate...actually I have had time but I always feel like there's something I could and should be doing but I am going to try for the rest of the week to find 15 mins every day to forget about everything and relax. I did 43 sit-ups for the intial test..woo hoo! I'll be doing them again tonight too! For the past 2 weeks I have had this up, down, up , down on the scale. Last friday i was at 158 then saturday 156.5 then monday 160. The same thing happened last week.. what the heck!? I changed my routine a little this week so hopefully by Friday I will be down again.

Oh, and I keep meaning to upload pictures b/c it seems so impersonal with the blank face for my profile so my goal is to have a pic up by Friday!

Have a great day everyone!!:happy:

tjones7

Good Morning everyone,



???? I keep seeing some of you guys talking about the Brazil Butt lift what is that?

I have failed at the challenges so far but I'm going to try again today.

Have a good day.

allie5199

Sorry about all the comments...I would just really hate to miss someone!

Hope everyones having a wonderful week! Dont forget weigh-in is Friday!

HeatherMN

Allie, thanks for the reminders. I'll have to message you with my info tomorrow since I have Friday off of work and won't have access to MFP.

I'm bummed because I know I'm not going to hit my birthday goal. I'm hovering between 192-194 and am getting sick of it. I've been at this plateau for a month and can't seem to get past it. I'm not giving up, just trying to rethink things. Grr.

Anyway, hope you're all having a great day!
Heather

angelwings2000

Did not post, but I did complete at least four workouts in a row last week.
I actually got in a workout every day, with one day including a six mile walk!
Still haven't started on the situps challenge. Too little time, too little time.............

You and me both. On friday I was down to 170, and on Monday I was up to 174 (had my yearly check up). I don't understand because I didn't throw the rules out the window on the weekend!!! Soo, just keep tryin, it'll come eventually!!!

Found and saved in my favorites! Worked out yesterday and will do again before church tonight. The situp thing said I could take the night off... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Took students to SPecial Olympics today and brought food to eat instead of the burgers and nachos there. I am praying that I can lose five pounds before the end of the month. 9 days- about a half a pound a day. I'll try to kick this exercise thing up a notch! k:ohwell:

Great job on bringing your own food. It's awesome you're involved in Special Olympics! I've been volunteering with a team for a few years and have been involved in bowling, basketball and equestrian. It's so inspiring and fun, I just love it!

kbhobbs

Thanks, Heather. Actually I work with young adults with significant diasabilities. Part of the reason I put on weight. Most of my students cannot walk, so I push wheelchairs. Most of our activities are of the non-ambulatory type. So it is very easy to sit and eat and eat and sit! But I am going to get into shape and lose some of this weight!

I too love Special Olympics. i wish we had the equestrian thing here. I love horses- don't ride, but love the animal itself. i do not think that there are many animals as beautiful as the horse. So I am envious...

Keep up the good work and see you on the board!!! k

pmortlip

everyone is working so hard keep upi the work ladies it will pay off!. I have been sticking to the meal plan designed 1200-1500 per day with 30-45 minutes of exercise. I hope to see a bigger lose this week but if only one again it will be in the right direction. have a great rest of the hump day.

debbieluck

I found you! I'm having a great week......extremely busy which is a great thing.....so looking forward to stepping on the scale Friday. I will send my last week's weight and this week's weight for the addition on the spreadsheet.
Have an awesome Thursday!!!!!!!!
Debbie :bigsmile:

shredder

Good Lord!!! There are a ton of you that are so extreme and dedicated, I'm finding myself being the person that has to catch up.
I love reading all the posts and more importantly reading between the lines in all you have to say and offer. You really lay it on the line and are totally vunerable to this group. Applause from me.:drinker:
Doesn't our board just rock!!!!
I sucked so bad eating yesterday. Actually, did ok throughout the day and then, BAM, the witching hour hit and I ate an entire bag of veggie sticks. I swear those things are my nemisis. Having said that, the scale was kind to me today so I'm not gonna ***** too much.
Meokk, your challenge is on fire and I see alot of you want to take it to the next level. Cool.
I'm gonna go light the fire and all of my 800 candles, and settle in for the night. Here in San Diego another storm has moved in and of course we all treat it like Noah's flood.:huh:
S
ps- Mike can we please get spell check on here

Crawline

Shredder, our board totally rocks!!! I am off to bed to catch some zzzz's!!!!! Have a great night everyone :drinker:

I was so proud of myself last night; reisisted the Pasta and Mac & Cheese dinner I was invited to (went for a run instead while they ate) for "my" (I am a nanny so not really mine) now 2 year old's birthday and just went up for a small (I swear it was small) piece of cake which I had already planned into my calories for the day. I then had to run to the market.... and was bad. I bought a package of chocolate chip cookies... and ate way too many of them. Evil. I need to stay away from the market in the evenings! Evil, evil, evil. I have been good most of the week and will push extra at the gym this evening to make up for it. Looking forward to tomorrows weigh-in just the same. I have stayed off the scale all week, something that is really hard for me, I want to weigh in every day, so I am hoping to see a better number. I am still having trouble getting the numbers to change. We'll see. Have a great day everyone!
