Doctor put me out again. I actually got worse this week. I'm out of the gym until further notice, but I got the squats done. I have drank enough water all week.0

Yay squats are done! and I'm averaging 2 litres of water/herbal tea a day.
My 7 yr old now wants to complicate my squats by getting me to do them with her on my back, not sure I'll be able to do 50 in one go tho.
Hope you all have a good weekend :drinker:0 -

Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a funk right now but I do believe that I am no longer the only one in the family trying to get healthy so that helps out a lot. Just fit my mom and dad up with pedometers!
Ready for this challenge to begin! I promise to be more on top of reminders from now on

Hi Lovelies
I am so pleased with your efforts I hope you will like this week's challenges .
This is our first official week !!!! It is supposed to be still an introduction, so have fun and get healthy!
There is lbs reward for each part of this challenge
Exercise max 7 lbs
1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio or strength exercise sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best!
sessions of jogging, fast walking, cross-trainer or treadmill,Zumba, Aerobics, Dance, DVD , Gym etc.
(moderate cleaning doesn't count !!! )
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed to do 4 sessions!!!
2. Try something new or something you didn't do for a while - independent exercise of your choice for 30 min session at least!!! : mine for example will be trying to go to work on bike. - I would not mind to go home from work but to get there is 90% uphill!!!
If you lack inspiration, you can try swimming, clubbing (DANCING!!!), another class at your local gym, or that new DVD , take tennis rackets and go play tennis with kids in park ... or football ... I found out trampoline extremely hard :-)
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed
3. Best Butt Exercises For Women: Squats
Squats are one of the best butt exercises you can do to build a nice round booty and sexy legs. Make sure you keep your abs tight, back straight, weight on heels, and sit your butt back.

can you make at least 350 a week ? E.G. 50 +60+70 +day rest +50 +60 +70
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed 2 lbs for most squads
4. Don't forget to take a day rest! Your body needs it.
5. For the WEEK ONE FOOD challenge, I thought we might still keep it BASICS! Let's take this week to focus on fish and cooking fish - let other inspire you with their recipe ! I know that this is not popular choice but girls (as far as I know we don't have a man in our challenge) come on it is good for us - and for mums especially we need to introduce fish into our kids diet - and I am not talking about fish fingers .... girls all fish counts and vegetarians try Sea Vegetables. Try to eat fish 2x a week. (1 lbs advantage if you manage to eat 2 portions of fish)
Keep drinking water - even if it is not our topic!!! I hope you picked up some good tips.
cooking challenge

Happy Monday everyone,
I've been a bit awol but am back with a vengeance now! Today is a bit of a busy one for me, I have to do both school runs (which will put my fitbit close to the 10000 steps mark) plus off to the gym/pool with some friends (this is more of a social than serious fitness, but everybit helps)
I have also discovered that doing squats and lunges around my dog sends her a bit loopy so may have to lock her in another room when I decide to do the rest of todays quota.
Hope you all have a good week
