    You can count me in but I can't hula hoop. My daughter has one so I'll just keep picking it up and keep going

    I can NOT hula hoop either. My 9 year old son gets the biggest chuckle out of watching me try. But I figured if I keep trying surely one day I will get the hang of it, right?

    I'm in. Off to do some push ups now! :o)

    Has nothing to do with our challenge but I started today as well that every 1/2 hour I get up and walk 200 steps. This way I keep moving daily! My son (Wren) and I just walked to our post office and it was 1200 steps there and back. Probably a little more but lost count when he would ask me questions. LOL - need to do that daily!
    Haven't done my push ups yet. Anyone?

    OK I realized I wasn't getting many steps in by only doing 200 so I decided I need to do 550 steps every half hour in order to hit 9,900 steps. I know I get way over 100 just going to the ladies room and walking up front to wait on customers. So from 8-5 I will definitely get my 10,000 steps in and then after 5:00 will be EXTRA! Heading home to do my pushups!

    I did my push ups last night. I didn't think I could do 30 push ups!! I was quite proud of myself! :laugh:

    I did my yoga this evening after I finished work. Very relaxing way to start the weekend :happy: How is everyone else doing???

    9th floor - AWESOME JOB!! Don't forget everyone to do your challenges. Today is 15-20 min stretching/yoga. Sat. is Hula Hoop for 3 minutes and Sun is 30 crunches/situps. Good Luck to you all and keep up the great job. Motivation and Support are a very big deal right now for us all so please help motivate and support us all. I did get over 10,000 steps in today and it's not even 5:00 yet. This getting up and moving every 30 minutes is an exercise all on its own! Have a safe and happy 4th but don't forget to EXERCISE!

    We had weigh in tonight and I lost another 3 pounds. Slowly but surely! Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!

    Well done on your loss! :smile:

    I have really enjoyed all of the challenges so far. As I am typing this, I am bouncing on my exercise ball :laugh: Very difficult to do both at the same time! :laugh:

    I will try to think of some challenges for next week.

    Glad to hear you are enjoying them as well! My boys got the biggest kick out of me trying to hula hoop but I finally succeeded~!

    I'm still here, but I am rubbish at thinking up different challenges. I was thinking about jumping jacks, squats/lunges, something with arms (?) but then got stuck. Can't think of any more so have just been doing last week's again! Lol!!

    Keep up the good work ladies. Hula hooping has definitely gotten easier!
