    1082 cals previously, + 325 cycling and strength training Friday + 300 today Zumba...only 1707! Definitely not burning 1800 cals tomorrow lol. This was a hard challenge esp since I had already planned my workouts (short ones) for the week before I started the challenge. Will do better next week!

    aww you gotta be kidding me! I'm at 3458 calories burned right now. Tomorrow is supposed to be my rest day and I am just way to beat to do anymore tonight. Oh well...guess I will suck it up and do it tomorrow!! Good luck everyone!
    By way too beat I mean I may have to be rolled into my room and onto my bed tonight. lmao!
  • Week 1 Challenge: Burn 3,500 calories

    Challenge met - Burned 4,275 calories with exercise today (I have spin at 2 and 30 day shred later this evening)

    I only lost one pound, and I'm kind of frustrated about that.

    Ok, so I fell short of the 3500 cal burn challenge. According to the record, I burned 2536 cals.

    BUT...

    I lost 4.6 lbs since last Sunday.

    Not too shabby.

    Week 1 is over!:drinker: So, how did everyone do? I have to say that I am pretty darn proud of myself. I worked out every day this week and ended the week with a total calorie burn of...3,799! That is according to my HRM watch. I weighed in this morning and lost 1.4 pounds! :happy: I did horrible this week with eating and going over my count. I can't help but wonder what the scale would have said if I had did better with my food choices.:grumble:

    I need to get my measurements still but for now here's my final stats:
    Weekly goal: Burn 3,500 calories Check:wink:
    Lose 1 pound Check:wink:

    Ultimate goal: Single digit pant size and look awesome in a bikini!


    Beach Ready Body!


    Will post the weekly challenge in a little bit. Throw any suggestions out there!
  • Monday through Thursday I did awesome....then I drank my *kitten* off all weekend and totally feel off the wagon. Fun weekend but didn't do what I was supposed to. At least I didn't gain anything back though.

    Lost 1.5 lbs this week!!! Starting weight 132.5. This is my second week logging with MFP. Current weight 130. Goals: to get into the 120's by next weigh in. I am hoping for a pound a week. Ultimate goal: to weigh 123 by May and then to maintain under 125's forever. I would like to be bathing suit ready by June and look toned. I don't think I met the challenge workout goal...I estimate I burned around 2000 calories but not sure as I am doing p90x and do not have a heart rate monitor. I don't think with 6 days of p90x a week and a little extra cardio here and there I could burn over 3000 calories. I like P90x but wish there was more time for cardio. The workouts are so long that there isn't much time left to add in. My workout goal for next week is to do the 6 days of P90x and try to add in extra cardio 3 days. Hope you are all doing well.

    Alright ladies (and men if any),:tongue:

    It's time for week 2 to begin tomorrow. I think we all did a great job during week 1. I know personally, burning 3,500 for the week was a challenge for me. My workout routine is usually 30 minutes of elliptical and then about 10 on the ab coaster. I normally workout Monday-Friday only so I never hit the 3,500 mark. Now, as far as the challenges go, I'm trying to think of what most people have a hard time doing. This means with everything from workouts, eating, water and so on. If anyone has an ideas or something you struggle with...let me know.

    Week 2 challenge:

    Drink 64oz of water every day and say goodbye to all sodas! :drinker:

    Continue to burn 3,500 calories per week :huh:

    See where I'm going with this? :happy:

    We are making a lifestyle changed. Every week it will be something new, something we know we should do, something that will make our health and life better.:heart:

    80/20 rule: Do the right thing (eat the right thing) 80% of the time. The other 20% will be our "oops" moments.

    Beach Ready!



    PS.
    Take pics along the way so you can see the change.
  • I'm ready for a challenge!

    Tomorrow I already signed up for Spin and have my trx training all set! That's a guaranteed two hours in the gym already! Woohoo!
  • Burned 3,510 calories this week. woo hoo!

    My weigh in was today and I lost three pounds this week. Hoping for three more next week! :happy:

    Worried about completing the water challenge. That is way more than I drink now!!! :noway:

    No change, but changed for the good in inches! I am laying out my workout schedule for the week so I will find a way to burn 3500 cals! I will definitely drink 64 oz of water for the week but I cannot give up my diet coke. I know it is bad, but it's THE only thing that keeps me going. I am in college (18 hours this semester!), work 30 hours a week, and have my family to take care of....I gotta have my caffeine!

  • Okay, I fell a bit short last week, but I will make it this week. Drinking the water shouldn't be problem, cutting all soda out will be a minor challenge. I usually have a Dr. Pepper with luch. Time to pull out the crystal light again. Good luck everyone.

    Grabbed my lunch today from Wendy's and without even thinking said "Diet Coke please." :noway:

    Seriously???!!!! :grumble:

    So I didn't even think about it until after I drank half of it:drinker: :sad:

    If I double my water and just pee out the soda....:laugh:

    Major Fail already. Oh these darn bad habits are hard to break.

    I didn't do my long run this weekend so I was probably only at 1500 cals burned. I'm not sweating it. Looking forward to lots of water and no soda this week!
  • Just gulped down the last of my 64 oz. of water for today. I feel like I have been in the bathroom ALL day. :frown:
