    Sunday week 1
    #1 - WORKOUT
    151 minutes running/1433 calories (30/30/45 to go) (1000 calorie burn for the week achieved!)

    #2 - REPS - This is Always IN ADDITION to your workout times
    abs! But none yet! (400 reps to go)

    #3 - Focus on Flexibility -
    I want to be able to hold a bridge (wheel pose for those yoga fans out there) for 20 seconds. Right now I can only make it to about 5.

    #4 - CHOOSE a habit you would like to change
    My coworker has a big bowl of M&Ms at his desk that I munch on throughout the day. My goal is to stop munching!!!

    #5 - CHOOSE a New Good Habit or Hobby!!
    Getting to the gym 3x/wk to continue NROLFW! I was going to start back up again today but I am so sore from the run yesterday that I decided to give my body some time to rest instead. And I want to start logging my food more, that always helps me.

    Calories Burned - 632

    #2 - REPS - Upper body (arms and shoulders)

    I have a bunch of those, but by the end of the 13 weeks, I want to be completely smoke free (again)

    #5 - CHOOSE a New Good Habit or Hobby!!

    I'll have to think about this one some more.....


    Looks like we're off to a good start! I'm going to try to go for a 30 minute walk today to knock out one of the 30 minute workouts. I have to work my part-time tonight so I won't have time to do much. I will try to knock out a few more reps today before I go in.

    Oh and @kateflourishes: Great time and burn!

    Hey everybody! I'm Pam, which you can see from my completely unimaginative username!

    This is my third one of Sheri's challenges...I did really good on the first one...not so great on the second...and I am REALLY looking forward to "killing" this one (as Sheri says!)

    I am 43; the year I turned 40, I weighed my highest ever - 145 (a lot at for me at 5'1".) Last winter, I got down to 107.8 - :O...
    But now, (I'm ashamed to say) I'm back up to 124.4. So...I know what I'm capable of, and I really need to learn how to maintain! (Any advice would be welcomed!) I have never been athletic, so consistency with working out is a real issue for me and why these challenges help me so much! I also *really* like to eat...too much! :(

    I have a **wonderful** husband and four kids - my daughter is 24, married for 13 months and has already given me a grandson! And I have three boys at home, aged 21, 14, and 12. I am primarily a homemaker and homeschooler, but I also make and sell raw-milk soaps and other natural body-care products. And I teach classes on making these products at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. (This is where I met Melissa, aka 'barkingbetty' !!! <3)

    So, here's my report from yesterday:
    Sunday week 1
    #1 - WORKOUT
    109 min total (basketball 15 min, tennis 60 min, yoga 34 min)
    I'll count this as my '60 min,' but the total calorie burn is 522
    2x 30 minutes - 1x 45 minutes - 1x 60 minutes

    #2 - REPS - This is Always IN ADDITION to your workout times
    I'm choosing lower body, but none yet


    #3 - Focus on Flexibility -
    haven't decided

    OVER this week you need to.....
    #4 - CHOOSE a habit you would like to change
    haven't decided...this is HARD!

    #5 - CHOOSE a New Good Habit or Hobby!!
    haven't decided!

    Man, I'm really indecisive...gotta get busy on this stuff!

    I'm *REALLY* excited to be a SHARK again, and I sooooo want us to do GREAT!!!
    It's nice to meet you all, and I look forward to working with you toward our common goals!

    Kateflourishes and smlisley - I just entered your stats on the chart, but wasn't sure if you did the 5 minutes stretching on Sunday, or just chose your flexibility goal. We have to do 5 minutes on THREE days this week. If Sunday was one of the days you did your 5 minutes, let me know and I'll put that on the chart. For now I left that space blank.

    Thanks!

    Sorry, I just chose what I'm going to work on (I decided during Yoga yesterday) I did not do the 5 minutes of stretching on Sunday.

    Hi All! My name in Melissa and I am 28 years old. This is my 3rd challenge of Sherri's. The first one was a huge success and so was the second one until I got sick or was injured, can't remember which. Since then things have been pretty down hill for me fitness wise and I know I need to kick it into gear again.

    I am dragging myself into this challenge kicking and screaming it feels like, but I am doing it because I know that by following the "Sherri Plan" I will feel so much better and more confident in myself. I will also gain myself. Plus I love my Sharks and don't want to let them down. So I may not be very active on the boards for awhile, but by golly I will complete the challenges every week, even if there are a few temper tantrums thrown while I'm completing the challenges. I'm a bit stubborn and will complete what I say I will complete.

    Will be back to report my Monday workouts later. Unfortunately I have been in denial about this whole challenge thing all weekend so I didn't do anything about it on Sunday.

    If any of our new girls need clarification, the calories that you can count toward the challenge can only come from your workout (#1) - not from your reps or stretching, etc.
    Also, we're not doing points this week (except for the measurement points)...Sheri said that she was going to be doing things a little different and would have it in place by next week.
    I guess that's all...just a couple of things that I thought I'd mention, just in case!

    Oh, and I put my stuff in the chart...

    Gotta show everybody this week that we're the team to beat!!! (but not let them!)

    Hello my beautiful shark friends.. I've been a bit slow off the mark with this challenge! Sorry. I aim to start today (Tuesday my time).

    Two pregnant Sharks?! I hope it's not something in the water! LOL!

    I want to change the bedtime in my bad habit thingie to 9:30...nine is just too early! I will still shoot for 9pm, but I think 9:30 will prove to be challenging enough!

    Hey everyone!

    Here is my post with goals for this challenge:

    (Sunday and Monday)
    #1 - WORKOUT
    stationary bike 45 minutes 314 calories and walking 30 minutes 111 calories (425 burned, 575 to go!)

    #2 - REPS - This is Always IN ADDITION to your workout times
    I have chosen upper body reps this week.
    bicep curls with 5 lb weights - 25 per arm + 25 push ups (50 reps done, 350 to go!)

    #3 - Focus on Flexibility -
    My hips are super tight and I will stretch them at least 5 minutes per day this week. I want to get knees closer to the floor when sitting in butterfly position by the end of challenge.

    #4 - CHOOSE a habit you would like to change
    I have a bad habit of wanting a sweet treat every day after almost every meal, so I'm going to limit myself to having ONE sweet treat only ONE day a week. I will count candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, peanut butter and any other sweet baked good as a sweet treat!

    #5 - CHOOSE a New Good Habit or Hobby!!
    I would like to develop a new good habit of spending at least two hours a week making art AND/OR volunteering at the animal shelter. This means that I will need to give up watching TV, surfing the Internet and other mindless activities to make time.

    Have a nice evening!
