Hi there!
So we have all kind challenges around here and I really like them b/c they keep me motivated and on going! But I dont belong to any of them bc I do a variaty of stuff.
Then I though we could have a workout challenge whre we post our workout schedule and keep each other accountable and motivated!!!
Lets do it!!!!! I could use some support, motivationa and some fun!!

This is my schedule for this week:
Monday: I did 1 hr with personal trainner (weight loss challenge program at the YMCA)
Tuesday: Nothing... : (
Wednesday: Shred
Thursday: Swim 40 min
Friday: Shred and Turbo Jam (20 min each)
Saturday: Shred and Turbo Jam (20 min each)
Sunday: Shred or 40 min turbo jam

I still trying to finish my 30 day shred, have 9 days left...

Good Luck to us! And let the fun begin!

    Awesome Job!

    I did my zumba class as planned and I rocked it...effort wise not rhythm wise. I may do an aqua class in stead of my normal sculpt tomorrow. I haven't been to a class with my friend Beth in awhile.

    So today instead of swimming I did some stuff at the gym. I did 10 minutes of Elliptical and created my own version of circuit trainning. I did a total of 35 minutes. During the circuit trainning I did few min of weight trainning and then 1 or 2 laps. My HRM says I burned 667 for 35 min!
    Hope you guys are doing ok!

    Woah! I had a very successful day today :)
    We were kinda running late for school this morning and i'm just too stubborn to drive if it's just a 10-minute walk so i ran (sometimes with my 5-yr old daughter in my hands) to school for 5 minutes and then walked fast back, then skipped 20-minute morning workout as had ppl waiting for me in the office 1 hour earlier than usual... buuuut...

    the whole day sums up to:
    total brisk walk time - 35 min + 30 minute normal evening walk
    evening workout - whole Denise Austin 3-week bootcamp DVD (48 minutes)

    Can anyone help me find a topic on eating or not eating carbs after i'd say... 7 pm? I don't eat cookies or anything like that but sometimes feel like if i won't eat that apple or orange - i'll eat someone instead. I usually go to bed at 1am.

    The weather was amazing in VA yesterday so I did a 40 minute round trip walk toe teh grocery store with hubby to pick up some parm chesse for our baked eggplant parm. ( only 302 cals per serving)

    Today I hope to get 20 minutes on the treadmil before yoga class.
    Minovido... Sorry i don't know anything about carbs after 7pm. I eat dinner late so I definalty get carbs later in the eveing but I am still losing. over all I tend to have a higher protein and lower card diet.

    Hi guys! You guys had a great day working out!!! Congrats to us!
    Today is my weight in and I lost 1.1lbs and I am in my period so I am pretty happy with my loss!

    Minovido - Well I don't know why you could not eat carbs after 7pm, especially being good carbas from fruits and you going to bed later. I will try to find a tread about it too!

    Decided to take advantage of the good weather again. Did 30 day shred and then took a 25 minute walk outside with hubby.

    I hope everyone has a good, relaxing yet productive weekend. I hope to get at least 1 shred and a walk in.

    no exercise over the weekend unless you count all the stairs I climbed looking at houses.

    No exercise on Monday we were singing the house offer after work and i felt like junk.

    Today i did 10 minutes of laps in the pool and the aqua aerobics class. Planning 45 min zumba class tomorrow.

    I hope everyone had a good weekend and is having luck completing their exercise this week :)
