*closed group* Flab to Fab 3 Month Challenge!

Hey ladies!!

Just wanted to check in- I'm going out of town for a course but will be doing my challenges on Friday!

Have an awesome week!

x

grrr....the scale has not budged at all in the last 10 days! (maybe it's broken? lol). time to step it up!

plan for the week:

Monday: 60 minutes with personal trainer
Tuesday: 50 minutes of spinning in the morning, 60 minutes of Zumba in the evening
Wednesday: 60 minutes with personal trainer
Thursday: 60 minutes of Zumba in the morning, 60 minutes of BodyJam in the evening
Friday: 60 minutes with personal trainer
Saturday: 60 minutes of either BodyPump or BodyStep class
Sunday: 60 minutes of either BodyAttack or BodyCombat class

I`m also going to start taking my kids for walks in the afternoons now that the weather is above the freezing point and the snow is starting to melt...my kids got a wagon for Christmas and my 2 year old has been dying to use it!

nutrition goal this week is no days over 1800 calories, and under my sodium every day!

oh-other big news! my husband told me yesterday that he is going to try to quit smoking TODAY! I`m so excited-he`s smoked for like 16 years, so I`m sure it won`t be easy-I hope he can stick with it. I HATE smoking, so I would be thrilled if he actually quits for good!

Wow, you guys really kick butt!

I'm starting out doing what I can, baby steps...drinking more water, really watching the calories, trying to cut back or cut out alcohol. I try to do chair marches at work. I ride a stationary bike a few nights a week, but can still only go a few minutes. I'll try to jump in with your challenges, but I need to do what I can without having a coronary, ya know? lol.

I'll be on my bike tonight after we get home from shopping. I can't walk a brisk mile yet, but I'll try to start 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, etc. as time permits so I can go a mile without sounding like an obscene phone caller.

I'm still with you, just going it at a slower pace. I'm 38 and close to 300 lbs. I've done every diet there is. I have to change my life to succeed. I need to be realistic and I fear that if I try to go all out again, I'll give up. Starting out small with life changes is the way for me to do it this time.

Sounds good I will do these tonight! Also I will try to plan my week too. Hard to do with an inconsistent baby but I will try!

Yea there is no way I could plan my week right now! Lukas is fairly scheduled (he takes after me in that way) but his naps are still really inconsistent. I do what I can when he naps. I also found some strength/tummy exercises to do with your baby that I'm trying out. Lukas laughs at me during one of them when I have to try and squat while lifting him up in the air haha. I'm trying to convince myself to get up a little earlier than him and my husband to do a real good workout, buuttt that hasn't happened yet

WELL...I was going to do the timed mile tonight but mother nature thinks otherwise seeing as we have a tornado watch and severe storms headed this way and I get out of class right in the middle of it. Looks like I'll be doing the 4 minute challenge and 30DS tonight instead. I'll do the timed mile later this week, hopefully tomorrow. My goals for this week:

1) Exercise 350 minutes
2) Drink AT LEAST 72 oz of water everyday
3) Complete 4 minute challenge
4) Complete timed mile
5) Log EVERYTHING

4 minute challenge...I agree with Dani, MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS = DEATH!!!!

Ok here are my numbers:

Jumping jacks 65
Mountain Climbers 66
Push ups 28
Sit ups 43

And for my timed run, I ran one mile in 8min 47sec :happy:

Not a bad day for me today. Although its 8.30pm and Im still well under most of my categories in my food diary due to my workout today. Think I may need to start eating back some exercise calories but its hard to do...

Completed all my goals today I think...

1117 cals burned doing 35min run + 30min circuit training + 50min brisk walk
4 minute challenge DONE
Timed 1 mile run DONE
100+oz water drank
Under on everything in food diary (possibly not a good thing...)

Hope everyone is having a good Monday, the start of the week is always the worst for me! And well done to everyone who has completed this weeks mini challenges already. They were great, thanks Kerri! Im gonna try and do them a few more times during the week :noway:



Great job!! Speedy!!!!

Looks like I'll be doing the 4 minute challenge and 30DS tonight instead.

Im dying to try out this 30 Day Shred that everyone is talking about on here!! I never heard of it before MFP. Might do some DVD purchasing soon!! :happy:

Here's my number from the 4 min challenge:
Jumping jacks - 69
Mountain climbers - 112
Push-ups - 30
Sit-ups - 27 (need some major work in this area, ab strength has always been my weak point)

Its pretty good, I haven't actually stuck to the 30 day plan like you're supposed to but I use it as a quick workout sessions on nights that I have classes because it's only 30 minutes. I actually ended up doing Cardio Max tonight instead.

Hi-eeeeeeeeee!

Ok, doing Kerri's challenge tomorrow, and probably all week. Will NOT be loggin anything OR working out on Friday due to Opening Day, this will be MY cheat day.... LoL. By cheat I mean LOTS and LOTS of beers ;-) So, until then I NEED to kick *kitten*!!!!!!

My numbers:

Mountain Climber= 79 (even with my dog trying to figure out what I was doing)

sit ups= 56

jumping jacks= 62

push ups= 31

I'm surprised my wrists let me get 31 pushups in. I had to stop a couple of times.

I had a loving baby climbing on me during my sit ups. LOL.

I ran my mile in 11:35. Slow, but steady. I'm going to try to get the next 4 challenges done tomorrow before my workout. I think I may try to do this challenge weekly so I can improve. Practice makes perfect! lol

Have a good night friends!

I have the 30 Day Shred but haven't done it for 30 days straight. I use it to fill in on days when I need to get a quick work out in due to fussy child or when Wii Boxing just doesn't sound like fun. It is a pretty decent work out and you can control your own intensity so you can get what kind of burn you want out of it. I am usually pretty sore for a day or two after (especially my arms and abs).
