Vixen&Foxes: Valentine's Challange

jut seen this was started a couple weeks ago, is it too late to join in on the challenge, if not. my stats are above

Good morning all and happy hump day! I had a unit training this morning and I underestimated my workout and how long it was going to take to get ready and out the door so as a result I was rushing a bit. I have to get back into the groove of getting up really early, getting the workout completed, eat breakfast, shower and head out in enough time to not have to rush to work. I think we have about a week left of working from home and then it's back into the office for the next 3-5 months.

Today is a strength training day but since I wanted a better calorie burn I decided to add a little cardio. I started off with the Insanity warm up and boy did I forget how intense that can be. Once that was done I completed the Push Circuit 2 dvd from the Chalean Extreme program and I'm happy to announce that I was able to increase my weights on most of the exercises. Push Circuit is mainly shoulders and legs and for some shoulder exercises I lifted 10 lbs and for others I lifted 15 lbs and I definitely feel the burn. I could not make it to 8 reps but definitely rocked out 6 so I reached failure. On the leg exercises I was able to increase my weights from 15 lbs to 20 lbs. I'm happy with today's workout and the progress i'm making.


O_Malley: After reading everyone's post it seems you're right, a lot of people have hit a plateau. I'm not surprised by mine since I had sucha big initial drop. I just hope I can meet my goal by V-day.

Queencici: There's not an official hula hoop challenge it's just that I'm using the hula hoop during the commercial challenges and to add some fun cardio to the mix.

I fell off the chart. Maybe I posted my weight on week 2 by mistake. I disappointedly gained weight back. Currently at 139.5. :sad:

Thanks for all your work on this.

Whoops, my bad...forgot to add in my weight this week!!!

I'm down to 135.7, baby

Good afteroon all. I really don't know why I'm posting so late considering I've been up since 8 am and the workout's been completed since around noon. Anyway, today I completed Burn Intervals and instead of Ab Burner I did Fast Abs from the Kettleworx series. All the ab exercises are performed while holding a kettlebell. I was able to burn over 550 calories in 65 minutes so I'm happy w/today's effort.

I will say that my shoulders are extremely sore from yesterdays increase in shoulder weights and today's Burn intervals. It's a good sore so I'm not going to complain too much.


Fitnewlife: Great job w/controlling your weight especially since you're unable to workout. KUDOS to you b/c that's not always easy to accomplish.

I will be weighing tomorrow. I have a really good feeling about it! I have been working my butt off in the gym and eating clean!

I'd like to join! I currently weigh 153 and am going for 145 by VDay. Thanks!!!!
