Hi all!

Can you believe it is already the last week of May?? This month really flew by!

Many have shown interest in doing a June Challenge. Please let me know if you are interested!

Start adding up your totals for the month of May (May 1-May 31)!! Towards the end of May, I will post a discussion where you can post your results and see how you did!!

Some questions for Week 4: What are your goals for this week? Do you plan on trying anything new? Do you have any advice to share?

Everyone is doing a fantastic job!!!

    Hi Ashley,

    In for June!!!

    And we technically have 1 week and 2 days left :P That will count when adding up and comparing goals to actuals.

    For week 4 I have planned 3 long runs as I've noticed that did the trick this week. I'll also go to a sprints & stairs workout in preparation for a 12 hours trek I'm going on in June. I've also challenged myself to try a new class every week so I might go for an RPM one over the weekend.

    My advice: train on stairs. I personally hate them but still do it just because they stregthen your muscles and that helps a lot in running long distances. And listen to your body: it needs rest every now and then.

    Keep rocking, ladies!

    Looking forward to a great week! Need to keep my food under control so the scale will continue to move down. It's a busy week but want to get my burns in every day, that is my goal, NO DAYS OFF!!

    My goal for the final week is 6000. I will probably go way over since that's for ten days, but I don't want to set the goal too high. I'll continue to do the same exercises I've done this month: strength training, Insanity, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, bicycling, walking and running :)

    My goal for the last week and a bit of the challenge to a minimum of 7,000 in order to make my goal of 20,000. I struggled more after the Tough Mudder than I thought I would and wasn't able to do as much this week, but I got it this week!!

    Great work so far and good luck everyone!! :drinker:

    For the last 10 days, I'm continuing to do Insanity and ChaLean Extreme, though both these programmes are entering their "tougher" stages, so should be interesting for my body.
    My original goal for the month was 14000; I need about 3400 to reach it, which should be easy enough, though I actually want to surpass that goal, maybe by 1500 calories? We'll see how I go.

    I'm trying to eat more so I can have more energy to work out more, so fingers crossed!

    I'm at 1841 for the week, hope I can keep going. Next week I am starting the third phase of Chalean Extreme; no idea how that's going to work out, but hopefully it'll be a welcome change.

    For those who live in the US, hope you enjoy the long weekend! I'm going to try to stay on track on not give in to too many treats :tongue:

    Hello Ladies,

    I've just had a look at my goal for May and I'm happy to say I've exceeded it and I still have some serious workouts planned before the 31st :D

    I'm on 3100 for this week and I still have planned a stairs workout today, a long run tomorrow and the first real NROLFW workout.

    wtwOn, are those blisters still upsetting you?

    Happy burns!

    Yeah, those blisters are still painful and I can't wear fitness/running shoes. Today I worked out barefoot :)

    I'm going to be hard-pressed to make my 16,000 goal for May. I'm currently at 13,087, which means I need to burn about 600 calories a day between now & Friday. I'll have to double up my workouts to 2 or more a day to make it.

    I was doing fine & on track until the Victoria Day long weekend at the cottage. Fixing the plumbing problems chewed up a lot of my available workout time (as did the swarms of blackflies lol). And I was squeezing too much into my days and got feeling run down, so I took 3-4 consecutive days of total rest or minimal exercise. When your daily goal is 516 calories, it doesn't take many days off before you're seriously in the hole playing catch up. And that's where I am right now.

    But, even if I don't achieve my 16,000 calories, I will know that I gave it a very strong effort and kept my focus. I mean, with a ~10 pound weight loss over the month of May, I must have done something right, no?

    wtw0n, way to go! Insanity barefoot? What can I say except "no pain, no gain" ;)

    zanne54, congrats on the results so far and the weight loss. it's amazing and you should really be proud of yourself. the weekend at the cottage was well worth it as now you're all set for a great summer :)

    I'm on 3956. A training on the track and stairs of a stadium left me energyless last night so I'll take it easy today.

    Have a great day!

    10 pounds?! That's awesome!

    @Delll2013
    I've done some Insanity workouts barefoot before because I have flatfeet and sometimes my soles hurt so bad that I just can't wear shoes :/ I don't really like working out without shoes, but sometimes it's the only option.

    Wow, you guys have done awesome! You guys are machines :tongue: I'm so happy for you!

    I have reached my original goal of 14000 today (I'm at 14463). My week 4 breakdown was:

    May 22nd - 611 (35m CLX Push 2, 120 sit-ups, Insanity Max cardio)
    May 23rd - 550 (CLX burn intervals & extreme abs, Insanity Max recovery)
    May 24th - 680 (CLX Push 3, Insanity Max Circuit Intervals)
    May 25th - 513 (Insanity Max Plyo, 100 sit-ups, 30 triceps dips)
    May 26th - 180 (15m stationary bike & yoga)
    May 27th - 665 (CLX Lean 1, Insanity Max Cardio)
    May 28th - 635 (Insanity Max Interval Circuit, CLX Recharge)

    I'm super happy to have done so, as I took 4 days completely off when going on holiday, so for me it's good to see that I was able to make it up by doing little bits more each day.

    Still 3 more days left to the month, so I'm hoping I can reach 16000 (originally wanted 15000, but why not try for 16000? :wink: )

    Great work everyone! I'm trying super hard to meet my goal and am so envious of all of you who have already done it, with days to spare!

    wtw0n - your totals are astounding! how many hours a day do you work out?

    I've been hauling *kitten* this week. Monday I went for an hour-long walk on my lunch, played a game of hockey, and then did C25K when I got home. Yesterday another walk at lunch, then swimming in the evening. Today I got up early for C25K and I have hockey again tonight. Tomorrow will be a bike ride with DH after work and then Friday morning another C25K and Friday night is an hour & a half of shinny. I have just over 1,000 calories to go to achieve my monthly goal of 16,000 - I think I'm gonna make it!

    Sprinting to the finish...

    I usually work out about two hours a day - sometimes more, sometimes less depending on what I do and how I feel. I do strength training every other day and I also mix Insanity, TurboFire, Brazil Butt Lift, walking, bicycling and yoga. Ngl, 24000 is a lot and I'm certainly not gonna try that again.

    wtw0n, I'm relieved to hear that 24,000 was too much. You were making me feel like a super underachiever! ;)

    I really hauled *kitten* the past few days. Tonight DH and I went out for an almost 2 hour bike ride. I'm now at 16,325 calories, woohoo I made it! And I still have a C25K tomorrow morning and then a long shinny tomorrow night. I think I'll make my June goal 5% higher than my daily average achieved for May. Will have to wait to see what I burn tomorrow before I can set it.

    I hope to see all of you over in the Team Turtle June challenge!
