    Hey Black Team !! Congrats to Squishy :drinker: My progress for this week:
    Mon: Step Class 1hr cardio
    Tues: Elliptical Machine C25K on Treadmill 1hr cardio
    Wed : Step Class 1hr cardio
    Thu: I did my something new well something Different instead of strength training at the gym I did a strength training video at home with dumbbell's Tamilee Webb's I Want Those Arms and Quick Fix Arm and Leg Combo and Leg Blaster 1h 20 min
    that was actually a good workout I just may do that once a week
    Now them crunches I did manage to do 45 so far I got down on the floor did the crunches and just layed there for 1/2 hour. My daughter came home from school and was like "What you doing on the floor!!" She just started cracking up laughing. I hate getting on the floor. On the other hand I really need to clean the junk from under my bed!! Anyhow I will try to get the rest of the crunches done ...
    As for breakfast I have no problem eating breakfast every morning
    I do squats all the time sometimes just randomly between commercial breaks while watching tv but I haven't really been keeping count this week.
    That's all I got for now

    Let's see if I can remember everything I need to list out

    1. I've eaten breakfast every day except Tuesday. Tuesday I had to fast for a doctor's appointment. I didn't get out of there until 10:45 which is almost my lunch time, so I just ate lunch.

    2. Something different is that I have been only able to ride the stationary bike and do squats for about a month, per doctors orders. I actually went to my evening gym class Monday and did the mid-term assessment. I was able to do a couple more crunches and 7 additional push ups.

    3. So far I have completed 45 bicycle crunches and 260 squats this week. I've also done 157 push ups.

    4. I've road the stationary bike at the morning gym this week but I can't remember whether it was 3 days or 4 days so far.

    Hope that's everything I need to list.

    Just heard back from Marcelka77. I am to count Tuesday as though I did have breakfast since I was unable to avoid not eating due to the doctor.

    Just heard back from Marcelka77. I am to count Tuesday as though I did have breakfast since I was unable to avoid not eating due to the doctor.

    All together for the week I've:

    Completed 6 days of workouts
    Went back to kickboxing after missing for a month (my something different)
    Did 160 bicycle crunches (lost track of how many I completed prior so did more tonight than I needed)
    Tomorrow is Sunday and it is my rest day
    Since Marcelka77 said to count Tuesday since lack of breakfast was doctor imposed, I will have eaten breakfast every day
    I posted my favorite breakfast recipe but no pic

    Hi lovelies,

    Wow what a commitment from all of you !!! I am so pleased with your efforts I hope you will like this week's challenges .

    This is our third week challenge !!!! Have fun and get healthy!

    There is lbs reward for each part of this challenge

    max 8 lbs

    Exercise
    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 at least 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!!! I know its getting harder to come up with something new :-)) ... so don't worry too much it can be anything interesting unusual - special you would like to share :-))

    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 in 0 challenge :-) and since I went to work last week I repeated it 2x and love it :-))

    1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed

    3.
    so this week we will concentrate on abs and booty and upper body strength !!! And main challenge Crunch and squats

    At least 135 squats and 135 crunches spreaded in 3 days and as new exercise try 135 push ups again spreaded in at least 3 days


    1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed 2 lbs for most BUT DON'T OVER DO


    4. Don't forget to take a day rest! Your body needs it.


    5. For the WEEK 2 FOOD challenge, I thought we might still keep it BASIC ( I think we will always keep it basic ) ! Let's take this week to focus on 5 A DAY and cooking and preparing dish with veg and/or fruit - let other inspire you with their choices and recipes ! I know from looking into diaries - there is so many of you skipping it , but girls (as far as I know we don't have a man in our challenge) come on this is not good for us.

    there is NO excuse girls and having 7x your 5 a DAY is the only way to get 1 lbs advantage (sorry there is only medical excuse not to have a fruit /veg - please let me know if you need exception)


    Keep drinking water - even if it is not our topic!!! I hope you picked up some good tips. I hope you got inspired with fish recipes and will keep eating 2x a week fish or other meals that include omega-3 fatty acids as a highlight. And I hope breakfast is your meal for ever .

    cooking challenge
    Also, I will be doing Cooking Challenge for week 3. It will run from today may6th - may 13th . I need the pictures and ingredients of 1 dish you were having this week for yourself. It has to have at least 2 portion of 5 a day . I will be judging on healthiness, calorie amount and presentation .

    You must send picture + recipe here
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/980731-cooking-preparing-food-challenge-5-a-day

    Best recipe will get 2 lbs advantage for week 3 weigh in and everyone who post picture will get 1lbs



    To sum it
    4/7 sessions of exercise 1lbs advantage
    1 session of something special - let us know what - 1lbs advantage
    135 Crunches 135 squats 135 push ups - spread in 3 days - 1 lbs for the everyone who manage to do all + extra 1 lbs for person with most of all
    7x your 5 a day foods - 1 lbs advantage
    recipe - 1 lbs for everyone who post recipe extra 1 lbs for best recipe

    1 last lb is for person who motivates you the most in your team . This person is going to be voted by other members of team.

    Jamie, drink lots of water, more than normal. Most of the time it is water weight caused by retention and the extra will help flush it.
