I was going to say if you want to start today go ahead but Im not counting today was too busy and had soda0 -
Do we post every day with our progress to count in the winners?0

Its up to you. You can post on this thread every day if you want or keep track in a note book or word document and then at the end of the week post it. Whatever works for you best0

Suggestion: Might be best to track the end of week progression. Otherwise you will have to go through everything post by post to keep tracks of how everyone is doing (might be too much and lose count that way).
On that note, is it from Sunday to Saturday and post on Sunday totals (with while reading new challenges) or is it Sunday to Saturday and post on Saturday?0 -
I understand that, and its Sunday to Saturday its just I posted the challenges last night so it was up so everyone knew what to expect if they want to take part this week.....0

All is going well here! I am keeping motivated and on track...that is a big thing for me!!! I seem to have plateaued after a year of losing weight but I think with the help of these groups and challenges, I may have just gotten past that plateau. I will know for sure on Monday, when I go weigh myself on a set of accurate scales.
As for your challenges, I love surprises...no limitations for me...so bring it on!!! LOL!!!0 -

Walking, 3.0 mph, mod. pace, walking dog = 31 minutes
Health Challenges 10 c. water
Ultimate Challenge -10 points. My husband cooked today. He made an Itallian inspired dish with lots of veggies in it. My mother and husband ate it also. My children are grown and don't live with me any more, so it's just me and my husband. My mother eats my food also. She lives next door, so I took her some, too.

1/15/14
Physical Challenges
Cleaning, light, moderate effort = 10 minutes
Mild stretching = 10 minutes
Trampolining = 60 minutes. I tumble on my trampoline believe it or not. Would tuck jumps, straddle jumps, back handsprings, front handsprings, roundoffs, and cartwheels count as calisthenics? It's gymnastics.
Cooking or food preparation = 180 minutes.
Health Challenges 9 c. water
Ultimate Challenge -10 points. I cooked Shrimp Creole, which is very healthy. My mother and husband ate it also. My children are grown and don't live with me any more, so it's just me and my husband. My mother eats my food also. She lives next door, so I took her some, too.

Walking, 2.0 mph, slow pace = 90 minutes, Session II
Health Challenges 7 c. water
Ultimate Challenge -0 points.
MY LIMITATIONS: 2 knee surgeries on left knee, so I can't really run or jump on the ground for long. Scoliosis with other issues because of it prevents me from bending/hunching forward, like to do crunches type exercises. However, I can bend backwards (I'm weird that way. haha) I'm 60 years old, but I don't let that stop me most of the time. lol Y'all won't understand 'til you get older. Don't worry about accommodating me. If I'm not able to do a particular challenge, I'll just sit it out or modify it a bit.0 -
