My week is going good too! I was thinking it would be nice to come up with some mini-challenges or goals to work towards in the short term. Just so as to have some excitement aside from the final result after 10 weeks. Anyone else interested or have ideas?

I have been working out in the morning too, I'm on week 3 of 12 doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution, and on her cardio days I've been subbing in other workouts. My toddlers are doing some of the workouts with me - so cute!

Hope you are all feeling those endorphins Go team!

Hey ladies!
Happy hump day!

Jumping rope is a killer exercise, you'll feel those calves right away. I remember when I first started, thinking it was going to be as easy as it was in my childhood. After 30 seconds, I quickly realized otherwise. Didn't even last a minute :embarassed: . I gave up after 2 weeks, and moved on to something else. I heard somewhere it burns around 10cals a minute!
As for this week, just getting to the gym and doing my workout is my challenge (4X)
Looking forward to hearing from you other ladies.

I admire people who manage to get their workouts in during the early hours of the day, because I simply cannot get out of bed in the morning! Well done and Im loving your motivation

It is funny how you should say that. I used to get up shortly after 5 to workout, but I found out that I was passing out after 9 pm sometimes earlier and I didn't think I was getting a rested sleep. So now I workout after work and my children are apart of it. I cant wait till spring so when they are biking I am running.

This week is not bad, I seemed to re-group and eliminating the garbage snacking I was doing. I managed to shake the 2 lbs that I put back on.

However, I found that I a super hungry and yesterday I even ate 1700 calories. A few weeks ago, I was eating less and not as hungry. I know my metabolism has kicked in but why can't I feel satisfied.

Hey ladies!

I too admire people who works out in the morning ! I start to work at 7:30 AM so i couldnt imagine having to get up at 5h to get my workout done ! I prefere to go to the gym after work, around 6:30 PM usually, even after a 10 hours shift. Somehow, i find the energy to go

I was stuck in a plateau for about 2 weeks even tho i was doin everything right... 53.4 kg every single day even after a really good day, eating and exercising wise. Thursday i finally broke my plateau and shed a good amout of weight ! I was sooo happy, i was starting to think i would never reach my gw of 50 kg. Now i see hope !

So yes everything is finally goin well for me, i cant weight to see the 1 week loss at the weigh in on monday ! For my routine, i go to the gym 4 times a week, i start with 30 minutes of cardio and then 30 minutes of weight lifting (1 day i'll do leg, the other i'll do upper body). Me too i tried the jumping rope and thats a really great exercise ! I should think of adding it to my cardio routine...

We go girl

Early mornings are my standard, even on my rest days. That is mostly because it is hard to sleep when a Labrador is using you as a trampoline and a Siamese is using you as a scratch block. I love my fur kids, but on occasion I wish they would sleep in.

My fencing club sessions always happen in the evening, but I prefer morning workouts on the whole. My new double program will include both morning and evening workouts, which mean 5AM starts on Monday-Friday.
