Well the week is coming to an end and I've almost completed all the challenges for the first time. By the end of the day I will. I decided to wear my hr monitor for most of the day yesterday and from 9am-8:30pm it said I burned 3132 cals, I'm not sure how accurate this is, I know this included part of my time at the gym, but this seems like alot for 12hrs. I have it on again today, I put it on before I left for work this time, so in 3hrs 24mins so far 716cals, but we'll see how the day progress.

1. 5/7 of exercise
2. 11.2/7miles
3. 40/70 burpees
4. 4/7 min planks
5. 4/5 post

With vacation and all, I didn't complete any of this week's challenges... :sad:
HOWEVER, I was really surprised because I still managed to lose a pound!
Current weight: 196.7

School starts next week so I need to get all of the exercise I can in this week. School nights for this semester fall on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I will only be able to work out at the Y on Monday and Thursday, and possibly Saturday morning (on nice days I prefer to walk the 7 miles around Salem Lake instead.) So, to prepare for this I need to purchase a small television set to put in my bedroom so that I can do the 30 Day Shred in the mornings. (I don't need my adult sons walking in on me trying to do this stuff in the living room! How EMBARRASSING would that be! LOL!)

So...tonight's plan is to take my favorite Zumba class, followed by Les Mills Body Pump, which I really dislike doing, but it works! I really need to stay focused if I am going to reach my goal before we go to the Virgin Islands next July...

Have a great Monday everyone!

correction

1. 6/7 of exercise
2. 3/7miles
3. 20/70 burpees
4. 7/7 min planks
5. 5/5 post

Does this count as another post. lol well I couted it.

You're doing a great job, Alison! I don't know where we would be without you! Life IS crazy! LOL!

My stats so far this week:
1. 1/4 days of exercise
2. 30/200 crunches (Body Pump)
3. 24/200 push-ups (Body Pump)
4. 1/7 days drinking 8 glasses of water
5. 0/5 5-a-day fruits/veggies (I double checked...I only had 4 on Monday...what was I thinking?)

My exercise plans have been thwarted slightly because there is no Zumba or Body Pump class on Wednesday as they are re-doing the gym floor at the Y, SO...I have to find something else to do. I may be hitting the elliptical 3 days this week...

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

Well didn't quite finish those burpees & planks, but not a bad week overall.

1. 5/7 of exercise
2. 11.2/7miles
3. 40/70 burpees
4. 4/7 min planks
5. 5/5 post

weigh-in this week 161.6lbs, down 0.4lbs...so close, but yet so far away from those 150s. It is time to step up my game!

You'll get there! I promise!!

HOORAY...Its FRIDAY! Here is my status for the week:

1. 4/4 days of exercise
2. 60/200 crunches
3. 40/200 push-ups
4. 4/7 days drinking 8 glasses of water
5. 3/5 5-a-day fruits/veggies

As I've said previously, push-ups are difficult (and painful) for me because of my shoulder, and my doctor advised me that I don't need to do them. But I'm trying! :ohwell:

Have a good one!

I woke up early and started watching an infomercial for the brazilian butt lift. It reminded me to do my squats, so as I was watching their commercial I was doing my squats plus mirroring some of the moves that are on this video.

I will not buy the video but I am glad I did my squats!!

Current weight: 191.1 - Hoping to hit the 180's soon! :happy:

cgphelps24: Don't be discouraged by your plateau! They are really just "periods of adjustment." Just keep doing what you know you need to do and you'll get through it! I PROMISE! :flowerforyou:

Hello everyone, no changes for me last week, I am still at 162lbs and another week that I don't think I completed any of the challenges. I am working hard this week to try to reach the 150's before the end of the challenge, it won't be what my goal was for this challenge, but it will still be a great victory. Looking forward to this week.

When is the final weigh in?

1. Exercise 5/7
2. Try something new this week - spin cycle
3. 200 hip lifts this week 200/200
4. 200 side-lying leg lifts on each leg this week 125/200
5. Be at or under your calorie goal at least 5 days this week 7/5

This week's weight: 187.5. :drinker:

Challenges...well...the only one I completed was:
5. Be at or under your calorie goal at least 5 days this week: 6/7
