    Wooo hooo all!!! Let's get 'er done!!! So what types of exercise are in your plans tomorrow?

    I'm gonna shred it up with 30 day shred and a morning walk, I plan on some jumping jacks, push ups and planks too. And I just might shake it a little with 'Just Dance' for the Wii.

    I'm in! Went WAY over on my calories today (bf & little one wanted cookies, so I baked... and ate).

    Changing my AM run to 5 miles, instead of 5k (not quite double); jumping jacks, (girly) push ups and planks; and I just might start 30 Day Shred... it's been sitting on the shelf for SO long, I think Jillian is getting bored!

    I am soooooooooo in!!! Let's kick Wednesday to the curb!!!!!

    No eating without a cup of water first, no other liquids either without the water first.
    Elliptical, for sure. We will see what else, took a tumble off the step ladder (grace) while finishing the painting in the living room.
    Good news is I did not fall over the railing to the sunken entry, or through a window. Am a little sore and stiff here and there but not as bad as I expected. I bet I'll be ready to rumble by tomorrow!

    Onward and upward!!

    LOVE THIS!!!!

    Last week I started doing a sculpt class and a spin class right afterwards on Wednesdays--one of my friends affectionately named it DoubleDown Wednesday...because we both felt like we were going to fall down about half way through--I like SKINNY Wednesday better! I have meetings during those classes tomorrow so I'm going to get it done in the morning (:huh:?!?!) for 90 minutes!

    Let's get it girls and guys!!!

    Good morning everyone!

    I've had 4 1/2 cups of water = 36 oz so far this morning. I think my exercise is going to be running to the ladies room all day.

    Have a good one!

    Good morning everyone!! Happy Skinny Wednesday!

    I'm up and not-so-at-em. But I'm sticking with my commitment.

    My plan is to double my lunch time walk from about 1 mile to just about 2 miles.

    Cheers!

    My 5 mile run didn't *quite* happen this morning, at about 4 miles it started pouring. So I took a short cut home and did 100 jumping jacks in my garage. 64 oz of water so far :drinker:
    Lots of day left, maybe some wind sprints with my little one after school??

    Good luck all, I'll check back in later!

    wohooo I got it in! 28 min run on the treadmill, with a 5 min walk to warm up and 5 min to cool down, 30 on the eliptical, 10 on the stairmaster, 25 on the wave machine and 21 min on the bike for a whopping total of 124 mins :)

    Felt sooo great!!! I am already at 56 oz of water and still half the day to go! I will get in another 30-40oz at least!

    Great Job Everyone who has completed it so far! We are kicking butt this wednesday

    I doubled my walking distance at lunch. And I plan on doubling my workout today by talking another walk to the park with my son after work.

    It's mid afternoon/early evening....what all have you done today?

    I spent much of my morning/afternoon at the hospital so I haven't been able to do a whole lot. I did complete L1D9 of 30day shred. I also got in some push ups, planks, and jumping jacks this morning. I plan on getting an evening in after dinner, hopefully... water wise, I've drank 44oz and I just filled my 28 oz bottle again :D

    Keep it up all!!

    I've been in all day just didn't find the thread!! No wonder, Bru! I was looking for Fab! :bigsmile:

    So far I did C25K this morning - ran 25 min straight! And I have 2 walks done (30 min total) during my breaks here @ work. Tonight I'm headed to water aerobics at the gym, then I have my BMK challenge to get done once I get home. Who knows....maybe I'll add something else after that?!?!? :bigsmile:

    Also - I've got 14 (8oz) waters down the hatch already! :drinker:

    I did a ton of exercising today...45 min on treadmill...jumping jacks, crunches...those damn planks...so I definitely doubled. Drank a lot of fluid today also. Stayed under calorie...didn't eat exercise ones....and...finally....did NOT go over in my sodium. So Wed was a success for me!

    Congrats to everyone that took up the challenge.

    I didn't make it to the gym at lunch but did manage a 20 minute walk and an hour of belly dancing last night.

    As for the water I drank 12 cups = 96 oz

    I was a little discouraged with myself but realized you can only fail if you don't make an attempt.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Karen
