My goals for this week are to run more with my dog and to beat my previous 5k time this weekend at the race I'm running in.

My goal this week is to drink more water. and though to some it may not relate, another goal is to read the Bible more . I had my phone on YouTube while eating lunch with my son today and I was thinking about my dieting. I played a song I hadn't listened to for a while and it made me weep. it's about doing it all yourself and then realizing God is your strength and will help you through. there was another song too. I'm going to post them in my profile as soon as I can find the words and time ti put them on. so more water and more God time are my goals this week

Awesome goals you all.

My goal for this week is to work out 4 times for at least 30 mins. I have been slacking off real bad. No more excuses. Hopefully, I will see some movement on the scale.

I have successfully taken on drinking my 8 glasses of water, which is one healthy habit.

Have a great week. Go Orange!!!

:flowerforyou: Congrats mentalmunchie:flowerforyou:


Challenge 1: Will check back in once completed


Challenge 2: Water challenge – Half my body weight of water is 93oz. (186/2).

Love these challenges. I'm already training myself to take in 64oz of water, I just have to bump it up one of these days.

HEY TEAM! I'm excited to get started on week 2!

:happy: Firstly, congrats to our team BL this week, mentalmunchie! :happy:

THIS WEEK'S GOAL: I used to do quite a bit of walking. I still do (hey, when you don't have a car...) but usually I can't go too far from home in case my grandfather needs me. Well, for those who don't already know, my grandfather went to the hospital Sunday. He's doing a lot better, but sometime within the next few days, he'll be going to a nursing home for a short while for nutrition and physical rehab. Which means I am now looking at days ahead with nothing to do until tutoring Monday. So my goal is to get out of the house (since I spent all day inside moping) and log at least 6,000 steps per day on my pedometer, which is actually a phone app, but you get it. And maybe I'll start to see the world again, too.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - ROLL OF THE DICE: Pfil posted a really cool dice roller at random.org that I used since I have no board games, and thus no dice (what? Don't look at me like that; I'm an only child!). I "rolled" a 1, 6, 4, 3, 1, and 4 in that order, which I'm quite pleased with. It's not too hard (I love crunches) but it's just challenging enough (I can't do a push up to save my life). Since I knew I wouldn't remember the numbers, I wrote everything down in my fitness folder and just for fun, I wrote the advanced challenges too! So hopefully I'll get to do both sets this week!

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - WATER WATER EVERYWHERE: My current weight divided by two is 128.5. My current weight divided by 3 is 85.6 (repeating, of course). I really have no aversion to water - in fact I quite enjoy it - so I'm going to shoot for 128 oz. I have a cup that I use for water specifically because I know it's 24 oz. So in order to drink 128.5 oz, I have to drink 5.3 "cups" of water. So...6 cups (because really, who's going to drink a third of a cup of water?).

IN SUMMARY (aka TL;DR):
-This week's goal: 6,000 steps per day
-Physical challenge : 40 push ups, 60 crunches, 30 second wall sit, 20 altenating lunges (at least; mental high five if I can get in the advanced workout)
-Water challenge: 128.5 oz
-Orange Team Rocks (but you knew this already)

LET'S DO THIS! :bigsmile:

Go Team Orange We can do this ! ! !

Congratz to metalmunchie for BL for the week... WTG :flowerforyou:

My water intake is 202/2 = 101oz I am a waterholic so this is very easy for me. I actually drank 14 - 8oz glasses of water today (Wednesday) so this part of challenge is completed already :happy: :drinker:

I used the website to roll my dice (I could not find a die in my house for the life of me today LOL). These are the numbers I ended up with.

6. Pushups x20 reps (I do 50 wall push ups a day for an October challenge right now, but will do these as the regular on the floor push ups.)

5. Squats x 30 reps -or- 30reps with shoulder press. (again. I do 50 squats a day for my October mini challenge, so I have already did my 30 reps today, but I will try to do this challenge with the shoulder press to make it more challenging)

3. Wall sit 30 sec -or- wall sit with arms outstretched 30 sec's. (will try for the advanced routine)

5 Squats again x30 reps or with shoulder press (again. I do 50 squats a day for my October mini challenge, so will do this set today - Thursday)

2. Dips x20 reps. (not sure if I will be able to do this or not due to a shoulder injury, but will give it a try)

4. Crunches x30 reps -or- plank for 30 seconds (again, for my October mini challenge we have to do 5 - 1 minute plank a day. So I have completed this part of challenge already doing the advanced form. I will also do the regular of 30 crunches just for the fun of it too)

I just re-read the instructions on our challenge and saw we have to do these dice roll challenges extra to what we normal do, so I will do extras per numbers above from what my Weekly mini challenge's are on my October challenge group. (whew, glad I re-read the instructions or I may of messed up)

Wishing you all a "Terrific Thursday."

Go Orange:flowerforyou:
