Hi Everyone, Hope you're all having a lovely weekend, its lovely sunny and hot in the UK (surprisingly). Today I have played tennis, I won all 3 matches and served much better than last week (no double faults) and just done my leg exercises, wow i have a sweat, i have realised i don't have much balance. So fruit and veggie will be pretty low (sorry).
Melon and Grape = 4 (a huge pack but very refreezing)
Tomato = 1
I'm sticking to the Vodka and Diet Coke no wine tonight.:drinker:

Hi,
I'm back after my trip away, so i put on 2lbs this week, but its not a surprise with me not manage to exercise only golf and a bit of walking. Next week, I'll be on top form.
Let me know how you did with your exercises, sodium and your weight, thanks. Shelley0 -
LADIES!! I'm back! I had a pretty good time, but it was not terribly relaxing. It was my brother, my mother, and my 3 year old niece- sooo, I didn't get to sleep in at all and I was on alert watching for possible 3 year old issues all week. Still, it was the beach and warm.
I didn't do great with the daily or weekly challenge, but I did continue my C25K and managed to only gain back 0.6 lbs over the week. Not too bad!
WEIGH IN NEEDED!!!
It's Sunday, so let's weigh in and I can update the spreadsheet.
And this next week we are going to rock it out!

Hi Mallorie, welcome back!
Found this this morning.
This exercise looks better than some of them last week, more achievable for me anyway. I think i may struggle with the drinking calories because doesnt that mean i can't have milk? Need help, its my only source of calcium!:embarassed:
Muffin top Monday
Follow the specifics listed in this link. http://www.fitsugar.com/Exercises-Get-Rid-Muffin-Top-2251180
Side bends
Standing twist
Jack knife
Weekly challenge - do not drink your calories! You can earn 2 points per day for not drinking calories at all. That means each person can earn 12 points for the week for their team.0 -
Hi everyone,
I managed to up my fruits and veggies last week and completed all the exercise challenges. My current weight is 164.2. I'm working with a new trainer/dietician and that coupled with my fitbit is helping me know how much exercise or type of eating I need to do to be able to lose weight. I'm so stoked!
Next Sunday is my Tri and it's supposed to rain...so i'm not impressed with that. I hope the forecast changes between now and then.
Hugs to All...GO TEAM!

I'm confused about the not drinking your calories. I agree that I can't give up the milk (and I use fat free) because I am post-bariatric and I need the protein. I don't drink lots of it, but have it atleast once per day. Other than that, my liquids are calorie free (I don't think water has calories).
Hey Capt....any advice on this one?
Linda lu0 -
Oh i agree my milk that i drink is skimmed too. Just done the workout those jacknives are evil, managed to get to the 40 Yay, feel like I'm back on track. Also did rumba on the wii, no pain in my ankle. yay Hope you are all having a lovely day!0
-
I think for this one it's pretty straight forward: 2 points a day for not drinking anything with calories. Milk has calories, and I think that's just how it is this week. But don't worry- while yes, this whole month is a "challenge" I am looking at it as not just the team, but how I can use these daily and weekly challenges to continue my nutrition and exercise goals, and continue to lose the weight and tone up.
For me, even if our team is last, as long as we are doing it we WIN!0
