    It is SUNDAY dolphins & I am off to church! I will once again pray for my DOLPHINS!
    I am getting better. Don't hurt quite so bad & moving much better. If you ever had a very large baby with tearing & an episiotomy. That is what it feels like only worse! After going through that TWICE I did not think I'd ever have that & Hope this is the VERY last time!
    HAVE AN AWESOME DAY DOLPHINS!!!!

    Hope everyone has a sensational sunday. Here trying to figure out how to counter attack the effects of both my husband being home, and the weather on me.

    Have a great one everyone.

    @Verda...how are you doing? You sound like you are mustering up enough strength to get through some seriously brutal pain!! I am so sorry you are going through that right now!!! (or ever!) And I'm sorry.....worse than childbirth....ummmm I'd want to die!!! sooooo I'm truly amazed you are hanging in there!!

    Just an fyi...for those that may not have seen my challenge post or my profile post - I did drop the 90 minute workout to a 60 minute - just thought I'd cut you all a tinny tiny break :bigsmile: When I was totaling the chart I realize how tough the weeks workouts were...and while I would NEVER normally shy away from that....Christmas week I thought I'd give a bit of a break there!!

    DOLPHINS did you have a MOVE IT MONDAY??
    I must say I never. Got in the 20 but today was the worst day for weakness! I will do what I can though!
    I gave up chocolate for this week except for Christmas day. That day I am taking a desert that has chocolate in it and I want some! Chocolate is EXTREMELY hard to resist so I have told myself I will have to quit the team if I eat any besides Christmas.

    Sheri - THANK YOU!!! Cutting one workout from 90 to 60 has made a HUGE difference to how I
    feel about this week (all mental!) - it's taken me from 'how on earth am I going to get this done?' To OMG that is a lot of squats!! I'd already done a 60 min walk, and can schedule a 2 hour walk with dog but I am heading to Spain on Thursday morning. I'm off to stay with a couple of very close friends out there. Luckily for me they are pretty active!
    I need to do a loads of burpees today :(. I've been up at my parents for a couple of days and yesterday mum put out nuts, chocolate, biscuits and tablet. For those of you that don't know what tablet is.. It is an extremely sweet Scottish fudge like candy, that is seriously morish - especially when you have a sweet tooth!

    Well - my week so far:
    Sunday: 65 mins walking, 254 calories
    Monday: 30 mins walking, 126 calories
    Squats, crunches and sit-ups done.

    Have a fantastic week everyone.

    With all the ice around here and all the chopping of ice and shoveling of ice, and cleaning the barn twice a day because the horses have been in because it is too ICY, I have been a slacker so far this week. Soooo, I got up early this morning to get some sort of workout in. I was up until midnight because my brother in law came with his sander to sand the drive way, and I had to get up at 5 to get it done.... :yawn: Good thing I only have to work until noon today!

    Sunday - chopping ice
    Monday - chopping ice and stretching
    Tuesday - 30 minutes yoga - 77 calories
    did day 11 and 12 of the squat/crunch challenge
    I hope to get a run in also after work, but there are still a lot of errands to do this afternoon.

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    Edited to add: after doing 95 full sit ups this morning, my abs are TIRED. :laugh: :laugh:

    Good job Jenn but why don't you use the minutes from ALL the laborous work? They burn MORE calories than running! Watch your step with ALL that ice!!!!


    Have a TERRIFIC Tuesday DOLPHINS!!!!

    I hope that you've all had a great day.
    I don't know how much I will be able to report in over the next few days - sorry that I haven't been any help in doing the chart this week.
    Well, I have done 60mins, 120mins, 20mins and 30 mins so fine on that front.
    I'm not sure that I am going to be able to complete the abs challenge though. Squats - check. Crunches - check. Sit-ups - I'm a few behind. They're not really something that you can do in public!
