SWaT Team Challenge-Month 3

Hi,

I'm up for a challenge. I haven't been on here in quite a while so I need it! I love Leslie's DVD's so looks like it may work out for me. (No pun intended, ;0)) How do I keep up with others on this challenge? How do I record my miles? Also, what is the SWaT Team? Do I need to join a certain group? Thanks for the CHALLENGE.

Take Care,

FluffehMama :glasses:

I'm here, but gonna do less than last month
gonna start slim in 6 today-Start it Up about 25 min
and crunches did 100 :noway: (yep, was only able to do 50 last month)

:flowerforyou: welcome to all new commers:flowerforyou:
the ticker can be found at tickerfactory- free
happy walking

I"m in! Get back later with my goals. Gotta go work off the bagel I had for breakfast! :sad:

Count me in too!

Need some help with the ticker: Which Ticker Factory code do you use? I tried two of them. When I pasted the html into my signature, MFP told me I could have only 500 characters and 10 lines. I don't have a very long signature line.

:drinker: Here's to a healthy August!

Welcome to the SWaT Team Mimi! Use the code in the first box that says bbcode from the ticker factory. Remove any blank lines from your signature to give you more space.

I got my ticker updated for month 3 - I'm lowering my goal this month so I can do some other stuff too.
I did the WATP - 3 mile walk your belly flat and I completed day one of the Slim in 6 start it up! I probably won't be able to move tomorrow! I even managed the modified push-ups. I'm curious to see if I can ever work up to a real push-up. Don't know if I'll be able to with my wrists but I'm gonna try.

So, I guess I need to set a goal, right? LOL.....I'm going to shoot for 30 miles for the 30 day period. Let hope I hit the target! Thanks for the group. :0)

Trying again to see if I can get the ticker working.

Modified Push Ups -As I read your blog post, I couldn’t help but think of the Push Up Bench as the most effective way for people who struggle with push ups , to be able to do them correctly (with full range of motion). Most modified push ups make them easier but only allow one or two variations. The Push Up Bench has 11 different levels to work through on the way to a full push up.

so all day long I've been saying "oooo, ow, umph, ugh, ow"- my abs hurt!
and my legs, and my tush, and my arms...

I'll stop whining now

so only one mile today- yep gonna finish the day with start it up slim in 6!

happy walking everone!

Thanks! I'll have to look it up tonight as I'm not sure what a Push Up Bench is. But I'll check it out.

I googled it! It looks like the perfect thing for me, just not in my budget any time soon!

You an Plummy are stronger than me! I'm still whining and didn't do any exercise yesterday. Maybe this afternoon I'll give it another try to get some of this soreness out. lol Are you sure Slim in 6 isn't Slain in 6?

hi Sandy and Plum,

What is slim in 6? You've made me curious! By the way, you two really help my motivation. All my MFP friends are great! I did Leslie's 4 mile super challenge today. I didn't want to, but I thought of all the work you guys are doing and I jumped in and did it. Thanks to all my friends for support.

Patti

Hi ya'll !

well Sandy - you maybe right cuz afer 3 days of "slain" my whole body is sore!
tonight I did the start it up (Ithought she was going slow at first) but only did the reverse crunches, since I'm doing the crunch challenge and was able to eek out 11 girly push ups (one more than last night-didn't really realize you use your abs when doing pushups-owie)!:laugh:

But good greif! I actually missed not doing the walking dvds the last 2 days- so I popped one in after the "Debbie" and knocked out a mile in 12 min- felt really great! :noway: Also walked with Plummy for a mile!

Patti- you're doing really great! Last month I had quite a bit of spare time on my hands (and feet) and the walking DVDs just got very addictive for me (funny cuz I hate exercise, period) didn't realize I had gone so far! AND your right, everyone here is so supportive, and seeing how everyone else is doing just kinda pushes you allong a little further than what you thought you could do.

Kathy- so glad you get to spend time with the sweetiebaby! But the next time you take him walking with you, you'll have to get him a ticker thingy so we can keep track of his miles too:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Happy walking everyone (go legs)

I'm so glad to see more people here, welcome to all!:flowerforyou:

Another 4 miles today and it felt good!!!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hey 1QueenB! you're doing great, and set a good goal too!

Kathy hope you had fun at the BBQ! I remember Richard Simmons from years ago, so fun and entertaining!

Today I knocked out the SIS start it up, and felt better after doing it (not as sore), tomorrow I do the slim and limber.

I walked with Plummy first thing this am and this afternoon I did Leslie's the fat burning mile (love the pace) for 2 miles-
total of 3 miles today!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Got most of my chores done and did the Slim in 6 startup again. It's getting a little easier and I'm not as sore as I was, thank goodness. Now I still have to cook dinner and I'm pooped!
