    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!

    Ok, I officially have no excuse for posting the challenges so late. I also have no excuse for being extremely late at posting my own weight each week. I have REALLY been slacking over the last three weeks, and I have started to gain back weight. That stops today! I promise that by the end of this week, I will have lost weight and accomplished at least three of the five challenges! You have my word!

    This week's challenges!

    1. Exercise at least 4 of 7 days this week = 1 lbs advantage
    2. Try something new this week = 1 lbs advantage
    3. Complete at least 200 squats this week = 1 lbs advantage
    4. Complete at least 7 minutes of reverse planks this week = 1 lbs advantage

    5. Plan your meals and exercise time either the night before of morning of each day this week (excluding today since this is posted so late) = 1 lbs advantage

    1. Exercise 3/7
    2. nothing new yet
    3. Squats 50/200
    4. Reverse plank 0/7 mins
    5. Plan your meals and exercise 2/7

    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!!

    I have done nothing....absolutely NOTHING! :sad:

    Monday I was sick...left work early.
    Tuesday...work til 6:00 PM, school from 6:30 PM til 9:20 PM...but the professor didn't let us out until almost 9:30, so I didn't get home until 10:00...my usual bedtime...ARGH!! :grumble:
    Wednesday...school again tonight from 6:30 til 9:20

    I bought a tv the other day to put in my bedroom so that I can start doing the 30-Day Shred in the morning. This should have been my "something new" but the tv is still in the box...I won't have time to set it up until the weekend.
    On the positive side: Tomorrow I WILL be BACK on the elliptical! and Saturday a friend has asked me to take her with me to Salem Lake, so I will get 7 miles in! HALLELUJAH!
    By the way...I normally do plan my meals and exercise...but this particular week...back to school week...well...it just isn't happening! :ohwell:

    Hope everyone is doing better than I am!

    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.

    Sorry for the delay, everyone. The holiday weekend got me off schedule. Anyway, there is only one challenge this week, the fitness test! Let's see how much we've improved in the last 9 weeks!

    1) Complete a 1-mile walk test or 1.5 miles run test
    2) Count how many push-ups, crunches, and burpees you can do in one minute
    3) Count how long you can hold a plank position

    Good luck everyone!

    Sometimes, even though we're making changes and we are moving forward, it feels as though we're standing still. But we really aren't.

    Today I looked up the sign-up page for this Biggest Loser challenge because I couldn't remember how much I weighed when we started. I discovered that, when this challenge began, I weighed 218.6 lbs. Today I weigh 187.5 lbs.That's a loss of 31.1 lbs. since I met y'all way back when.

    Some of my NSV's are these:
    1. I reached my first milestone: ONEderland!
    2. I can actually cross my legs at the knees instead of the ankles
    3. As of Monday, I no longer shop in the Plus size section
    4. Yesterday I was told I am "tiny"...and by more than one person!

    So...what have you accomplished during this challenge? I must say I am so proud of all of us who stuck it out!

    All I can say is "WOW!"
    :drinker:
