I couldnt do the setups but substituted my Osteo Weight program. Had not done it for a while and was shocked how much muscle mass I had slipped. Had to go back to beginner bands. Oh well,I can't change yesterday, but I do sure have control over today and tomorrow. Exercise in for today except for going for a walk0

thats right we cant change yesterday, but today we can control,good luck sweetie!!!!0

I was pretty bad at mini challenges last week but will try and be better this week!0

Only did the mini challenges upto Friday last week due to going away but I'm back now and more determined than ever to get the weight off. There was a wedding at the hotel we stayed at and there were girls/ladies coming in with figures to die for. I will look like that one day I said to myself so I will make sure I work extra hard this week.
Thanks Andrea for setting the challenges. You do an absolutely marvellous job of keeping us motivated and on our toes. Thank you. x0 -
It seems quiet on here???? :yawn:0

Missed today's mini challenges and I now know the reason For carb cravings and no loss... TOM is here and I'm eating like a pig
going to the gym tomorrow for a good session so hopefully I'll make up for some of my binge today... Tomorrow is a new day hope your all doing good guys... Only 10 more weeks jeep going xx 0 -
DID MY EXERCISES AND LOST ANOTHER LB, FOR A TOTAL OF 4 LBS SINCE BEGINNNG OF CHALLENGE. TOMORROW WE RIDE THEBIKE0

Ok I decided to move my weigh in to Friday. I really felt defeated last week and it discouraged me from wanting to continue. I want to hold myself accountable but still not feel super restricted because that makes me get rebelious and eat bad stuff then feel terrible. I think this might help me because if I eat bad on the weekend I have all week to kick myself in the but and get that off! I want to make sure I stay motivated and I think this works best for me right now... Love you guys lets kick some butts for weigh in this week! Get those mini challenges done and think how hot you will look in that cute little Christmas dress! I want to make my goal this year. I don't have much to go becasue last year you guys really motivated me and gave me just the kick I needed. I slacked when I was away but its on now!

Morning, Anderaie asked me to set this weeks challenge, not to sure if she meant the daily ones too but i'm going to do them just in case....
Monday: Go for a 30 min walk ( at your own pace)
Tuesday: 50 push ups, 50 crunches & 50 squats (you can divide these into 2 sets if you want)
Wednesday: 2 mins of jumping jacks, 25 lunges on each leg then 2 mins of jumping jacks again
Thursday: 20 Arm raises with side lunge & 40 bicep curls
Friday: Add another 100 calorie burn to your normal daily burn
Saturday: 100 step ups (You can use the bottom step of the stairs)
Sunday: 3 sets of 2 mins planks!
If there's anything you can't do just modify it or change it for something else.0 -
