I can't believe Labor Day is so close! I remember when I fist started this challenge I really thought I was just setting myself up for failure. I never thought I'd be this close to 200!!!! It feels so good to be inching towards 'ONEderland'. Here's my stats:
May 3: 240
May 11: 237.6
May 17: 236.6
May 24: 235.2
May 31: 232.8---started Labor Day challenge on 6/1/10
June 7: 231.8 (was 230.8, went up a pound this past weekend)
June 14: ----277.4
>mini goal of 228 for a date with my brothers
June 21: 225.6 (was up to 228.2 on the 18th, but it was due to lots of sodium)
June 28: 223.6
July 1: 222.6
July 5: 221.4

TGIF everyone! Since I didn't have to work today due to the furlough I was able to sleep in a little longer and I am so happy I did b/c my body really needed the extra rest. I'm still dragging but not nearly as bad as I had been earlier in the week. Today is week 2 day 5 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a strength training day. I completed the Burn Circuit 3 workout and I think this might be my least favorite workout due to all the shoulder work that's being done. I'm not sure why but I hate push ups and any type of shoulder exercise. Nonetheless, I pushed through and gave it my all and when it was all over I was glad that I had pushed through the temptation to skip it and do something easier.0

Happy Saturday everyone! I must admit I procrastinated and procrastinated with today's workout but I finally pulled myself out of the bed and got it done. It's extremely helpful that the CLX workouts are pretty quick. I kept telling myself, "you can do 30 minutes" and before I knew I had pressed play and once getting my sweat on.
Today is week 2 day 6 of the CLX program which means it's a cardio day. I completed the Burn It Off dvd. Now that the workout is behind me I'm going to rest for the remainder of the day b/c my girlfriends and I have dinner reservations for 6:30 pm and then are going to the Peachtree Village International Film Festival to see the screening of a friend's first movie. She's an awesome author and I'm looking forward to seeing how you brings her vision to the big screen.0 -

Finished my 2 mile road race this morning 4th in my division! WOW! :noway: Wasn't even trying to do THAT good! I just wanted to be done in under 30 minutes & I did it in 25 minutes! Yay Me!:bigsmile: It was a fun family outing - 8 of us in my family did it! 6 of them all placed & got trophys in their divisions! It was AWESOME! Next year hopefully I'll be bringing home a trophy too! The trophys were pretty cool - since it is the RODEO RUN - the trophys are COW BELLS! :laugh: It was a fun time!0 -
Today is week 2 day 7 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a designated rest day. Once again I decided to complete the Recharge workout in order to get ready for the week ahead. Tomorrow I start week 3 of the program.....WooHoo!
Kintegra: Congrats on placing 4th, job well done!0 -

Good morning and happy Monday all! I hope everyone had a fun and safe weekend. Today is week 3 day 1 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a strength training day. I completed Burn Circuit 1. I can't believe that I'm already 3 weeks into this program. I love that the workouts are so short but I'm really struggling w/getting my eating under control on the weekend. I don't know what has happened b/c I use to have such great control over eating sweets and things of that nature but lately it's been getting out of hand.0

I have started back to school. The students start on Wednesday. My baby girl is starting kindergarten, and my baby boy starts pre-school next week. They are thrilled to get started back up, but I am WAY behind because of the construction in our building.0 -
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Today is week 3 day 2 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a cardio day. I decided to change it up a little, so instead of completing the Fatbuster dvd like I had been doing I threw in Jillian Michael's Blast Fat/Boost Metabolism. Boy did I forget how this workout makes you sweat. I feel great and am about to enjoy a protein shake.0
-
Good morning everyone! Today is week 3 day 3 of the Chalean Extreme program and I completed the Burn Circuit 2 workout. My arms are on fire today from the tricep kickbacks, overhead tricep extensions and 3 level push ups. I must admit I always feel good after a workout no matter how much I despised it in the beginning.0
-
Good morning and happy Thursday! I thought this morning's workout was going to be cancelled because there was a horrible thunderstorm in my area when I woke up and I was fearful the electricity would go out. Despite the roaring skies and pouring rain my electricity stayed intact and I was able to rock out my workout. Today is week 3 day 4 of the Chalean Extreme program and I completed the Burn Intervals dvd.0

Wow - where is everyone? I know I've been too busy to catch up on the boards this week. Sorry Choco - its like you are all alone here! :ohwell:
Only 11 days left of our Labor Day Challenge. I'm hoping everyone meets or exceeds their goals, or at least comes close! I've been trying to change up my routine again & it seems to be working. I'm back @ my water aerobics class twice a week and Zumba on Tuesdays. Plus this week I'm running stairs, and I have about 23 miles of biking to get done by the end of the month! Oh & I have lots of yard work to do this weekend, as I'm having a get together on Sunday at my house for all of us that are going on the cruise in October. I still have that pile of dirt to move & I'm closing the pool down this week as well, otherwise I probably won't have time next month.

Happy Friday, Happy Friday, Happy Friday :happy: :happy:
Today is week 3 day 5 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a strength training day. Today I completed Burn Circuit 3 and I must admit this is the workout I hate the most. While I love to see the shoulder definition I absolutely hate to do shoulder work.0 -
Well, we have just days away til the end of the challenge, wow, where has the time gone?! I've past my original goal by 4lbs so far, lets see what we can do this last week! Final stretch, let's go go go!!! Have a happy and safe weekend all!

Good afternoon everyone! Today is week 3 day 6 of the Chalean Extreme program which means its a cardio day. I completed the Burn It Off dvd. In addition to really giving it my all with the Burn It Off dvd I gave my house a thorough cleaning. I always give the house a deep cleaning right before a trip b/c I love the smell of a fresh and clean house when I return. I head to NYC next Friday in order to spend the Labor Day holiday w/my cousin and her family. This is my last trip of the summer and probably the year.0
-
Happy Sunday all! Today is week 3 day 7 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a rest day. I completed 2 miles of the Leslie Sansone Fat Burning dvd while holding 3 lb weights in each hand. I was able to get a nice little burn. Now that the clothes are ironed for the week and the grocery shopping has been done I'm going to chill out the rest of the day. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.0

September 6: Goal- 160
Well, looks like 165 and I are becoming fast friends. That's ok, for now. It was my second goal. First goal was 175, then I bumped it down to 165, then bumped again to 160. I've played with my numbers a bit over the past couple weeks, and I think I've found something I can live with. I'm being more active, I'm eating better (again!), and I'm happy. So HOPEFULLY that will all add up to some weightloss over the next couple of months!
We have one week left until our challenge ends. Is anyone interested in starting a new challenge? If so, any ideas on what type of challenge and for how long? I'm more than happy to start a new one up next Monday! Maybe a Halloween challenge? or go longer term and go to New Years? Let me know your thoughts!
Well, I suppose I should head to bed. Tomorrow is my baby boy's first day of pre-school! Where has my baby gone?! I look forward to seeing the final results for our challenge! Keep up the good work!0 -

I think the End of the Year or New Year's challenge sounds great! It'll keep us all in line during all that christmas cookie time! I started here the beginning of May & can't believe that I've almost made it thru this whole challenge! Its great having something to strive towards & have all of you on board to cheer and/or encourage each & every one of us along. So I say yes....bring on the End of the Year/New Year's Challenge! :bigsmile:0 -
Good morning and happy Tuesday! Quick post b/c the work duties are calling. Today is week 4 day 2 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a cardio day. I completed the Turbo Jam - Fatbuster.
I'm definitely open to a new challenge. Although I've been in the maintenance phase for some months I can easily backslide so I need something to keep me focused.0 -

Apparently my 1 pound weight gain was due to TOM, not vacation. I was shocked to step on the scale this week and see a 2.6 pound loss. I'm not trying to lose anymore, so need to up my calories to maintenance level.0 -
I"d love to do a New Years Challenge!! I'm currently in a Halloween challenge, short term is ok, but I love the long term goal best
ya's, see ya Friday for my final weigh in for the challenge

Im definitely in for another challenge as well. Like Chocolickkyss, I am also approaching maintenance and need to keep focused and not creep back up.0

Good morning and happy Wednesday. I have only a few more days before I head to NYC for Labor Day weekend. I'm really hoping Hurricane Earl doesn't put a damper on my trip. This should be my last trip of the summer and 2010 so I really want to have a good time.
Today is week 4 day 3 of the Chalean Extreme program and it was suppose to be a strength training day but I just did not feel like lifting weights today so I threw in the Burn It Off dvd instead plus the warm up from Turbo Jam - Fatblaster.
I'm so proud of everyone in this thread who has stayed dedicated and met their goal. Keep up the good work.0 -
Good morning everyone! Today is my Friday since my job will be observing our furlough day tomorrow. It will be another quick post b/c my supervisor announced yesterday that my unit is under a TIGHT deadline. We have exactly 1 month to read over 110 records. I work in Social Services and review state records regarding children who are in the child protective custody. As a result of this deadline I'll be working late and probably coming in a little early.
Today is week 4 day 4 of the Chalean Extreme program which means it's a cardio day. I decided to complete Billy Blanks Cardio Boot Camp instead of Burn Intervals and got an excellent burn.0 -
