Today, my challenge was to run 4 miles in 45 minutes instead of 50 minutes. I TRIED so hard, I thought I was going to pass out! I did it in 48 minutes...boo!!!!0
-
I did it. 10 minutes on the elliptical. I am so out of shape that I had to stop over and over...it actually took me close to 20 minutes to do 10 minutes on the machine but i did it! I also had a salad for dinner instead of a burger and fries. trying to make one step at a time, one decision at a time.0

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Cricket reporting results of her hard work. Walked/jogged the tracks 400 meters X 10 or 2.5 miles. very very brisk pace. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
I feel so good last Sunday I walked 2 miles. I will maintain this pace Sunday - Tuesdays and Thursdays for 1 more week until I can jog the entire time.0 -
Mine is a small step, I have turned into a couch tater. I have set a goal to get off of it, and for the past 5 days I have gotten something around the house fixed/repaired every day. 2 things accomplished, becoming less of a couch tater lost thus lost a couple pounds, and getting some of the items in the house that need addressed, fixed. Gotta start some somewhere folks, right?0

I bombed the first challenge.
I did the full 30 minutes of my Mommy Fit type workout. However, I didn't do the full 45 minutes of Zumba. However, I did suffer through my first day of 30 day Shred, so that might count for something.0 -
today my goal was to walk 1 mile. I walked 1.2 miles. woohoo0
-
My goal lately has been focusing on my swimming times. This week my aim was to do 20 lengths in 25 minutes. I achieved this both Monday and today, Mondays time was 23 minutes, but I was a bit more tired today and did it dead on 25 minutes, but I was focusing on my breathing a bit more today rather than speed.
My next goal for swimming is to try and cut the breaks between lengths

I did not make my goal yesterday
My challenge was to do an Insanity Workout. I got a tetanus shot on Wednesday and my arm was throbbing as well as my head, so I ended up icing it, taking an advil, and resting. Still sore and huge but hopefully it goes down today! 0 -
Well....I did not resist the tiny bit of ice cream that SOMEONE left in the freezer......Actually, it was low fat frozen yogurt, but you know - sweets are sweets!!!
However, I did run 30 minutes this morning and did an upper body workout, so I feel good!!! Looking forward to our 20/75 challenge!!! Hope ya'll have a great day!!! Good luck to everyone for our big start on Sunday......I know I'll be checking in for motivation and will be happy to motivate anyone who needs it!0 -
I did my challenge yesterday; even though the whole way home I was telling myself "Its late, you have to get up early... it is ok to skip it" I ignored that voice, parked my car and hopped out ona big hill. Power walked up that B!tch and back down the other side - 15 minute pre-bed walk, COMPLETE!
...are we doing personal challenges again today? I am already trying to think of what to do LOL0 -

My challenge was to do 45 mins Billy Blanks Insane Abs workout and I did it but I added 15 mins extra for strength training:happy: 0
-
I did my challenge yesterday by getting a short walk in before picking up the kids - 15 minutes. And I cooked a healthy dinner (instead of ordering in) and stopped when I was 'comfortable' as opposed to eating that extra drumstick because it tasted so good! I also ignored the leftover easter chocolate...which the ultimate challenge for me!0
-
I did my challenge yesterday! Yep--2 large beers and some loaded nachos for our date night. I knew that challenge would be easy:) LOL
Up early this morning, 20 minutes running on my treadmill at 8 minute miles, then 30DS before work. I don't feel soooo bad about the nachos now, OK maybe a little!!0 -

What I would give for 2 very large beers.... For me they are off limits. However, great job with running! I cannot do a mile in 8 minutes!!!!! Way to do with the 30DS!!! Keep it up! Today is new day, new chance to eat well! 0 -
I challenged myself not to eat back my workout calories post work out.... I ate back only 54 of them... not too shabby, but not perfect!0

Temptations are the worst! With kids and a career, it is so easy to eat out. Trust, me we did that a lot prior to this past Sunday when I changed things. Its hard, convenience is a diet killer. And awesome with skipping the chocolate, trust me I know how that goes!!!! Lastly, my friend and I were just talking about our "indicator". Ensuring to stop eating when that signal goes off...instead of stuffing ourselves to oblivion! You made some excellent choices yesterday, keep it up!0 -

I did my hour of walking and a session of 30 Day Shred as planned.0

Yesterday 04/18/2013- I did get 20 minutes of zumba in... was shooting for zumba & pilates, but didn't get the pilates in. Instead did jumping jacks.0
-
I bombed as well my challenge was to Zumba last night no matter how tired I was after cutting lawn and I didn't. I did however meet the other half of my challenge by doing the stairs 3x's for 10 minutes each during the day. I got on the couch started watching the news and boom before you knew it 11:00.0

That ROCKS! Congratulations!0

I didn't set an exercise challenge for yesterday but ate healthy. I have met my challenge for today - purposely set out on a 30 minute walk.0
-
I have been dieting/exercising the past two months but kinda fell off the wagon the past 2 weeks (skipping workouts, not making the best food choices). I'm back to my pre-splurging week weight and yesterday did a 30 minute interval workout AND played volleyball for about an hour! Yay! My challenge was to simply get back into feeling slim & strong and I am on my way to doing that. Now for today (Friday, April 19) I'm not sure yet what my challenge is.0

I was aiming for under 35...
Feeling excited and inspired AND supported.
Thank You!!!
