Rested and Ready....I think we are all LOSERS!!!!!

OK, here's my latest report:

Thursday: 50 minute walk with my stepmom, 150 calories; 100 reps; 8 minute stretch
Friday: 35 minute walk with dad and stepmom, 105 calories; 8 minute stretch
Saturday: 30 minutes with Leslie, 177 calories; 200 reps

I entered this on the chart, and I totaled Friday and Saturday in Friday's column. (I thought I remembered Sheri saying to do that so she wouldn't have to create columns for Saturday...am I right?!)

I'm looking forward to a new week after all my dietary and fitness indiscretions this past week!

I just wanna go on record as saying that I'm going crazy with the lack of activity on here!

For any of you who might no have seen Sheri's status update, here it is:

"I am SO sorry everyone...with my mom here I have had zero time to work on this weeks challenge. First off....its like 4:30 in the morning...so I am going back to sleep but I just wanted you guys to know the challenge will run Monday - Saturday this week since I haven't been able to put up the challenge - I will get it up sometime today/tonight - Because I'm running so late though...if you have a Sunday workout you can use it towards the challenge this week as well. So if Sunday is a normal day for you...it Will Count! I'm sorry to be so far behind...I just haven't had any alone time to work on this....I appreciate your patience with me!"


Hope that explains the silence a little, but I have to admit I was pleased to have the extra day of rest. REALLY need to get back into a routine tomorrow though! I am sure she is going to hit us HARD this week though after having been so kind recently

Remember not to cry when Sheri tells us some CrAzY week 9 requirements!!!

Just saw week 9 :sad: :sad: :sad: Oh I forgot!

And after my Thanksgiving slips (OK, deliberate bad choices,) I ate chocolate chip cookies today... :grumble:

I *have* to get serious! :explode:

Like I said before, I just seem to be having a harder time this challenge...staying focused or something...

Aaaaannnddd, now my husband and youngest son have the cold that my oldest son had...it will be a miracle if I don't get it!

Hey Guys!

I'm so sorry I didn't make it on here yesterday with my workouts and weigh in. I didn't weigh myself and I was only able to get a 45 minute workout in on Friday. I think I'm eliminated???? I didn't see any names listed (maybe everyone assumed I dropped?). ANYWAY, I'm going to go ahead with the challenge this week. I'm sorry if I've let you guys down this week.

Here is the summary for this killer week!

WORKOUT: :grumble: :grumble:

Part 1) 60/60/90/90 (The 90 minutes can be broken up. Must have a minimum of 20 minutes to count at all though) :noway:

Part 2) HIIT. 4 sessions of 15 minutes (Best at a different time to your other workout or on a "down" day) :huh:
Do 2.5 minutes warm up and 2. minutes cool down. Other 10 minutes to be divided into 7 lots of 60 seconds HIIT followed by 0 seconds recovery. Examples of High intensity include burpees, high knees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, fast feet, etc.

REPS: :happy: (She has gone easy on us here! )

100 NEW reps (could be a variation on old ones, but something new to you)

STRETCHING: (Our old favourite :flowerforyou: )

5 minutes x 2 on 2 days. Can break it into 2.5 minute segments.

PERSONAL: Give up a staple for this week. Choose your least favourite rep to do as a punishment if you succomb to the temptation! :explode: :mad: :grumble: :grumble:
E.g. I know I SHOULD gibe up bread (not yet decided if I am strong enough for this!!!) If I do give it up, I will do 15 push-ups as a penance!
(Now I am going to have to think about whether I take that plunge or not! Give up bread for a week :noway: )

LET'S DO THIS SHARKS!:bigsmile:

Hey there Sharks .... and Ali don't knock been in the top 10 with 0.4 loss ... you are rocking this challenge as always :flowerforyou:

Well I have just read the challenge ... a bit late too ... as I want to give up bread and already ate some yesterday and earlier today, so I guess I will have to do two lots of penance. My penance will be burpees .... I really HATE them, I can do approximately 7 at a time, so will get 2 lots done today for my bread issues yesterday and today.

On a positive note my workout from yesterday counts

So ....

Sunday.
#1 60 mins circuit training - 602 cals. (60/90/90 mins w/o's still to do.
#2 HIIT - not done ( 4 sessions of 15 minutes yet to do)
#3 REPS - zero (100 new reps to be done)
#4 STRETCHING: not today (5 minutes x 2 on 2 days yet to do)
#5 Giving up bread - will do at least 7 burpees if I fail (already doing 14 today as I did not read challenge until 10 mins ago :explode: )

That's all for now folks.
