Good morning! I'm feeling much better this morning. For those of you who didn't see my status update, yesterday I "treated" myself to a fried fish sandwich that turned out to be a disaster. My stomach ended up hurting for the remainder of the day. I could barely eat anything else. But I did get 50 minutes on my stationary bike and 40 squats in and I stayed under my calorie count.
Bravo Spambo16 for staying under your calorie count for so long and for exercising when you didn't think you had it in you.
Today, I'm going to take sarahmccallu's advice and increase my squats. Instead of doing 2 sets of 20, I'm going to do 2 sets of 25. I'll try to stay under my calorie count and get 30 minutes of cardio in there somewhere. I challenge you to do more squats than you did yesterday. You can do it! If you didn't do any yesterday this challenge should be easy, right? :laugh:
I hope you all have a wonderful day and remember..."sweat is just fat crying."

I don't normally do squats, (mostly because I hate them) but I'll aim for fifty throughout the day.0

Hope you are all having a great day! Just checking in for today, my diary is looking good, got in 40 minutes of biking, 10 on the evil elliptical, 30 Day Shred, and a wonderful 20 minute walk to the ocean and back home
Hope your all enjoying those squats I suffered with them last month will start that challenge up again in another week or so.0 -
Hi Everyone! Day going good. Power walking after work with my husband and my little dog. I had a HUGE craving for chips, so I bought a bag of popchips with three servings, ate the whole thing, and adjusted the rest of my lunch. I know it isn't the healthiest thing to do, but I just wanted chips!! So weird... I can walk by chocolate all day long and have no interest whatsoever, but once in awhile the salty things just scream at me. Will do my 50 squats tonight too! Have a great day everyone!!0

When I added my squats to my diary, it didn't tell me how many calories were burned. Does it only give a number for cardio or did I make a mistake inputting?0

Today went pretty well for me, after my run and dinner I had another 400 calories left. So I walked to the frozen yogurt place half a mile down the road. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I kept my serving small and only added fresh berries. Also did my first set of 25 squats and just have one more before bed.phew. The 40 yesterday seemed like plenty a it was lol0

My big victory? I did not finish the maple/savory mashed sweet potatoes (which are orgasmically phenomenal at my hotel) so that I could stay under my calorie goal today. Took every iota of willpower I had to let the server take the plate.
No squats today - I didn't have any problem doing them yesterday, but this morning, when I got up, one knee was making a new and disturbing grinding sound. :noway: I thought I had pretty decent form, so I may pass on this challenge. I don't want to put my overall exercise effort at risk for squats, when I know my Power Yoga is hitting those same major muscle groups. I'll sub in a crunch challenge instead.
Was running horribly late this morning but did my morning workout anyway. 40 mins of interleaving HIIT on the elliptical with my upper body strength training.0 -

It only includes calories for cardio, but there is an estimate for general strength training under cardio. So, count your reps under strength, then do a cardio entry for the time spent.0 -
Ok, I just did 20 squats....and dang, they were hard...
Kudo's to ya'll doing this challenge
I only went over my food intake by 57 calories....which I know is still over...but I have it set at 1200 calories.
The squats didn't show any calories burned, probably because I only did a few....oh well,
Didn't exercise again today :sad:
I feel like I had a very unproductive day :yawn:
Hoping things get better
Here's to a better tomorrow :drinker:0 -
I usually do about 50 squats a day but my butt is getting sore so I had to take a break for a day or two0
