tigerzeye- You are kicking *kitten* in the gym! Great Job!!!
Believe me I'm trying, it is hard... to get to the gym lol but once I'm there it feels great. I always think too when I want to give up in the middle of my workout "What would I be doing right now if I wasn't here?" If its not a better answer than what I am currently doing I keep going ^_^ and most of my time the answer is "sitting on my butt" and that's not acceptable for me lol.
And as far as *kitten* kicking is concerned I think I'm doing it wrong, I seem to be kicking my own *kitten* XD lol0 -

How is everyone getting their exercise in today??
Saw that you did yoga - do you take a class? I took a class once and loved it.0 -
I did some weights on the porch while I was waiting for my son to get off the bus and tonight is Zumba night! I stepped on the scale this morning and I think everyone is going to be very happy with me on Sunday. Shaping up to be at least a 2 pound week!0

@arwensb great! job on the walking, going through hills are a great way to shape up and add a challenge, and it's always a reward to go down them Maybe try walking/jogging faster up them and it'll increase your heart rate to burn more calories:) good luck on the TX2 workout and hopefully you can get a good walk in after dinner! I always try to workout after my dinner to burn the carbs I just ate and eat an apple or almonds after:)
Vinyasa yoga was awesome! I sweat buckets, and its a lot cardio and strength than other yoga classes.Today another one of my friends joined in, and she's going to start doing it with us throughout the summer! It's always a good motivation to get friends involved Especially when we pay for unlimited, so we always try to get our money's worth! Which class did you take??
@lcoulter23 Awesome with cardio and strength! Ive never tried Zumba but I only hear the best! I'm always afraid to try b/c im terrible at getting down the proper steps. Im glad to hear your losing the pounds! 2 weeks is a tough goal, but totally do-able:)
GO SLYTHERINS! WE CAN DO THIS!

Hi, everyone! I just found the posts again and saw I was sorted into Slytherin! :]
I'll try to catch up with everything tonight and I can't wait to participate in my very first challenge! Woohoo!0 -
Water wise I am doing great, I drink water like a fish! Exercise wise I am way off, I have had a lot of stress going on this week, I know exercising would actually help, I just have to pull myself out of this funk first. I won't let you guys down though!0

Curves circuit followed by hula hoop followed by dance clad for me today. And I did my weigh in and lost and I drank my water. Feeling quite proud! Day off tomorrow though so will need to try extra hard0

Oh, I failed in my image post though, what did I do wrong?0

I tried to add the crest & it didn't work. :frown:0

@dawnkitchen great to have you on board! the starting challanges is at least 30 minutes of exercise a day (im sure all of us and at least double this:), at least 8glasses of water a day and for every 30minutes of exercise, 1-2 more glasses!
@stressed1mom @pixieofdoom make sure there are NO SPACES in the url and it should work
@stressed1mom when I really dont feel like exercising I go on here and look at all the success stories, drink some coffee and im out the door! I ALWAYS feel great after I exercise, so I just think about that feeling:) and what i'll like like!
@pixieofdoom sounds like an active day! you should be proud, awesome work! Weigh in in a couple days, LETS DO THIS!

For the challenge, I think I'm doing okay! I didn't know what it was until today, unfortunately.
I worked out Monday (elliptical), Tuesday (elliptical/treadmill), and Wednesday (kickboxing) this week. I am going to work out later tonight, too, on the elliptical. Tomorrow I have personal training (usually do on Monday, too, but I had another appointment so I had to cancel). Saturday I have a core/high intensity cardio class. It is killer!
Water: Sunday - 8, Monday - 12, Tuesday - 10, Wednesday - 9, today I should have at least 9 and at least 9 Friday and Saturday.
PS: Is there a way we can post the challenge on our house page? The main thread gets so FULL and I lose posts in it. :flowerforyou:0 -
@dawnkitchen
youre doing great!
Here's the initial challenge for the first week:) Posted by Uno
Hey everyone! Every Sunday you post here with you current weight (this time your start and goal weight).
Ok, the first challenges are pretty simple just to get everyone started. Sorry if these look familiar! I promise they wont all be the same..
Food challenge: drink 8 glasses of water per day and add 1-2 glasses for every 30 mins of exercise you get.(if you want to drink more that's fine, just make sure the minimum is 8)
Exercise challenge: do some sort of exercise for at least 30 minutes per day (can be anything-walking, running, swimming, biking, horseback riding, moderate house cleaning, weight lifting etc)
If anyone has any healthy recipes to share please share it! This is a place for motivation and to support each other in reaching our goals.
I will post the HP info/quote of the day later and I will post everyone's weights tomorrow afternoon! Good luck everyone! Here's to us!0 -
Thanks for posting the challenge on here!
Yesterday, I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party & walked for 15 minutes. And, drank 8 glasses of water! (The water thing is big for me...).
My exercise workouts are normally Turbo Jam and I am also doing the "Conservative Couch to 5k". I am on Phase 2, Week 2 of "Conservative Couch to 5k".0 -
I'm doing pretty well this week. Water hasn't been an issue, exercise has been ok. I've been walking for at lease 20minutes everyday, not counting the extra little walks I add in. Like today I went out for lunch, and after we ate we walked from the restaurant to the store, then back again, instead of driving over.
I don't log my little extra walks, but I do log my 20 minute / 5.5 laps @ a brisk pace from the house to the barn everyday. I live in the country so I make do with what I have LOL. I do have an elliptical, punching bag, weights, Wii fit and various workout videos for rainy days though so I have absolutely no excuse not to get a workout in.
We seem to have a great group of people here in Slytherin, we're going to rock this challenge!0 -
Uhg >.< work is trying to make my week long goal as hard as possible... I am what they call a part time fill in... what that mean is when the full time people call off they call me and have me fill in... that being said I had to be to work this morning at 8am... got off at 3 (about to go into gym and forgo sleep) because they scheduled me for 9pm tonight to 7 am... >:( gr.0
