    Ok, did the fitness test. Phew! It was hard.

    Run 1 mile - 12:30 (need to re-do for 1.5 miles but I might just keep it at 1 mile)
    Pushups in 1 min - 25
    crunches in 1 min - 49
    burpees in 1 min - 10 (these are hard!)
    plank hold time - 64 seconds

    Interesting to see the results in 9 weeks :)

    Rest of week has been good exercise wise (3 spin classes so far). Water has been good.

    Well, I finally got the fitness test done today!

    1.5 Mile Run - 14:59!!! I have never run under a 10 minute mile! I know it's only 1 second under, but still!
    Pushups - 33
    Crunches - 70
    Burpees - 15
    Plank Hold - 1:32

    Doing all of that back-to-back was pretty difficult... Hopefully, in 9 weeks I'm even better :)

    Hey everyone! So I mentioned earlier that I'm headed out on vacation this weekend, and I'll be gone for 10 days. I'm hoping to at least get on MFP each day (to keep my "days logged" going), but I probably won't be writing much if at all. That also means that I won't be able to easily message people that haven't weighed in yet. On a similar note, I won't be able to easily put people's weights into the spreadsheet. If you all could do that on your own this week, I would greatly appreciate it! Finally, though I won't be able to post results on Wednesday like usual, I promise to post results for this week and next week once I return! Please don't give up on me or this challenge, just because I disappear on vacation for a bit! Oh, and I promise to still post a new challenge on Sunday, so don't think you can take it easy for a week ;)

    Hello Ladies-- Allison, I hope you have a great vacation! I spent most of today exercising and I actually loved it. First I did my Les Mills Pump & Burn and then a bit of yoga-- pushed my hubby into biking-- did that for over an hour-park lots of trees and breeze was plentiful-- NICE day-- :)

    I'm back! Overall my vacation was very nice! ...except for the fact that it rained the entire time we were camping... However, my boyfriend and I made it work and we still had a very nice time :) We both even lost weight while on vacation! I did not do well on the challenges however. Rain made it very difficult to do any squats, crunches, push-ups, or my exercise challenge. We were almost always stuck in the tent or the car :\

    4/4 days of exercise (hikes we went on)
    0 squats
    0 push-ups
    0 crunches
    0/7 days with 15 minutes dedicated to exercise (exercise challenge)
    5/7 days with no snacking (food challenge)

    Current Weight: 188.2 pounds :)
    I'm in the 180s, and I've lost more than 20 pounds!!!

    Hello again ladies! I am back from vacation and ready for a new week! I hope you all are too!

    Exercise Challenges
    1. Exercise 4 out of 7 days this week for at least 30 minutes. The exercise can be either cardio or strength training. It can be at a gym, at home, outside, or anywhere else you'd like. Squeeze it in during your lunch break at work or while your kids are at their extracurricular activities. Whenever it is and whatever it is, make sure it happens at least 4 times this week :)

    1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeeds


    2. Week 2 of the month long challenge! Do as many squats, crunches, and push-ups as you can each week. Make sure to keep track of how many you accomplish! At the end of the week, the person with the most in each category will get an advantage pound. At the end of the month, the people who've gone the farthest in each category will get an extra advantage pound.

    1 lbs advantage for the best performer in each category


    3. It's been a while since we have tried something new, so this week let's get back to trying to incorporate a new activity into our exercise program. It can also be something you haven't done in a long time.

    1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeeds


    Food Challenge
    4. This week we are going to have a breakfast challenge! I know we've done this before, but it has been a while. Since I'm posting this so late, let's make the goal to eat breakfast at least 5 out of 7 days this week. Also, be sure to post a picture of at least one breakfast you have this week. You can post pictures here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1039211-week-12-breakfast-challenge-pictures-recipes

    1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeeds
    1 lbs advantage for everyone who posts a picture



    In Summary:
    1. 4/7 days of exercise = 1 lbs advantage
    2. Person that does the most squats, push-ups, crunches = 1 lbs advantage
    3. Try something new = 1 lbs advantage
    4. 5/7 days with breakfast = 1 lbs advantage for success, 1 lbs advantage for photo


    Thanks to everyone who suggested the challenges for this week! Please keep coming up with awesome ideas, and post them to http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/996673-challenge-ideas

    This week was not a good week at all. Gave my mother a surprise 70th birthday party Saturday, so I spent the entire week getting prepared for that. The party went well and my mother really had a ball, but thank God it's over, now I can get back on track.

    0/4 days of exercise
    0 squats
    0 push-ups
    0 crunches
    0/7 days with 15 minutes dedicated to exercise (exercise challenge)
    0/7 days with no snacking (food challenge)

    Current Weight: 166.4 pounds, down 0.8lbs, I'll take it

    Not a good week for me with the fourth in there.

    3/4 days of exercise
    0 squats
    0 push-ups
    0 crunches
    3/7 days with 15 minutes dedicated to exercise (exercise challenge)
    0/7 days with no diet soda(food challenge)

    down to 204 down from 204.4 from last week. I guess at least I didn't gain.
    I also got compliments from family members I had not seen in a while, that felt good.

    Back on track this week!!
