Vixen&Foxes: Valentine's Challange

Hope everyone is having a good week! I feel as though I am, finally meeting my calorie goal rather than being under.

Yay! I am glad to see everyone getting on board with the pushup/crunch challenge! I have even challenged 2 of my co-workers to the same thing, since we are all dieting right now at work! I will post at the end of the day as well. Next week I am cooking up a cardio challenge...so wait for it...wait for it...LOL

Madiann, I know what you mean about boredom eating. I'm rooting for you!

Margie, date night sounds fun! Dancing sounds even more fun!

Choco, how funny, I had oatmeal and a banana today too. Hope you had a great B-day.

txchic, I love the push ups and crunches challenge. I can always use extra help in arms and abs.
I'll post my number probably tomorrow.

Vic, how did the first day of Insanity go?

dmvalley, welcome!

Thank you so much for the birthday shout out.....I really appreciate it. I'm feeling really good in mind, body and spirit so I can't ask for much more.

I love oatmeal but usually eat it w/strawberries but have been finding the banana keeps me full a lot longer.

I am in for the crunch and push up challenge!!!

50 pushups & 50 crunches...Done!

50 pushups and crucnches - Done for Day 1

Good afternoon everyone and happy Thursday! I really truly don't know how this day got away from me. I woke up at the same time and turned on my agency computer just like normal and then the next thing I knew it was 11:00 am and I hadn't eaten or done a workout and I was sitting there scratching my head trying to figure out how that happened. I threw on my workout clothes and pushed play on the dvd and did my best to Rock Out the Burn Intervals and Ab Burner dvds from the Chalean Extreme program. My shoulders are extra sore from all the shoveling I did Tuesday and Push Circuit 2 from yesterday.

Thank you all for the birthday shout outs. Yesterday was pretty uneventful due to the weather. I have not left my driveway since Saturday because the streets are just too crazy. Today looks a little better but by tomorrow it should be looking really good. I will probably venture out the house tomorrow since today is my Friday. Tomorrow my job has another furlough day so no work for me which means an extra long weekend....YIPPEE....YIPPEE!

My girlfriends and I are goiong to celebrate my birthday by going to this venue called Sips n Strokes. This is a painting gallery where an instructor helps the class paint a picture. The schedule of which pictures will be painted when goes out about a month in advance that way people have an opportunity to choose which painting they want. While being instructed on how to paint your picture you're able to sip on your beverage of choice. My friends and I will be bringing a couple bottles of wine, cheese and crackers and spinach dip/chips in order to get our creative juices flowing. At the conclusion of class each student gets to sign their painting and take it home with them. This should be an interesting experience because I have absolutely no artistic ability.


O_Malley: Better luck on the challenge today. I'm not participating in it b/c w/the Chalean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid and the shoveling I've done over the last two days my shoulders are done.

Xmaxine: CONGRATULATIONS on that 2 lb loss....that's awesome, keep up the great work! What's your workout routine?

I'm at 9 glasses of water so far, probably will make it 12 by the end of the night. Did my first zumba and set aerobics class tonight, when I can't move tomorrow I'll know why! I burned so many calories, I have no idea how I'm supposed to eat another 900 when I've already eaten 1200!

Thank you TeamLeela!

I keep forgetting to try the 50 pushups! I'm going to go to the gym in a bit and I'll try it out. Well done to everyone who's managing it! And txchick - well done for your loss!!

I have lost 2 pounds this week, for a total of 3 pounds during this challenge. I now weigh 149 pounds.

I am down 2 pounds this week, and I weigh 130 pounds!

So I managed a measly 15 pushups today (but managed the situps - woop) - I think I'm going to have to adjust the challenge to manage 50 by the end of the week let's see how it goes!
