    Happy Monday morning! It is a new week!

    I have started the new thread for us this week... I think it's safe to assume MissDee has been busy!

    What are you goals this week?

    Mine are:
    1) 175 minutes of exercise
    2) Lose 2.5 pounds
    3) Stay under 1800mg sodium 4/7 days

    This is my first time doing a one week challenge. I just downloaded the C25K app for my phone and my short term goal this week to exercise 5/7 days this week with 3 of them doing the C25K. The other 2 will be some at home strength training and/or bootcamp. My cousin is getting married on the 28th of this month and I really want to see what I am capable of in a short time. Not expecting miracles but just want to try to push myself. Wish me luck...:flowerforyou:

    I'm so in. I need the motivation. Today was day one for me. Went to the gym @ 5:30 this morning, had a great 30 min workout, and I'll be back there after work.

    Thanks for posing this

    I'm in as well! Goals for this week
    - lose around a kilo
    - 2.4l water daily
    - stick to my plan for the entire week (this would be a great achievement for me... lack of willpower sucks)

    Great to see all of the new faces this week!!!!

    This is a great group of supporters.... I honestly would not be able to do this without some of these lovely women. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

    I like to check in each night and update my exercise minutes. Sometimes I write a little blurb about my day. If you want to do that, too, you are more than welcome. Don't be shy!

    MAK - Girl, you got this!!! Get back into it... commit and stay committed. If you do it every single day this week (Mon-Sat) then I will match that and do it too!!!!

    Ok so I didn't get a work out in today still feeling under the weather. Felt like I was coming down with the flu. But feeling better so I'm getting back into the workout groove tomorrow. I think my new bike is calling my name :)
    Welcome to all those joining us the first week. And welcome back to those who have been here before. We all can do this one short week at a time!!!

    Meg - I'm ahead of you, pick up the pace girly!!! We're competing now, hahahaha. But in all seriousness, I hope you feel better and can get on that bike today!

    Kris - You can do it! With your 2 miles over lunch each day, I am sure you can get back into it!

    Fraises - Great job on sticking to the plan... on to day 2!

    Tuesday night check-in: 70/175
    I've been doing these mini-challenges... one of the ladies on my friends' list posts them each day and today was squats... I did 140 squats but I have a feeling I am going to have a tough time with my muscles tomorrow! EEEeeegads, what was I thinking! I also did some abdominal exercises from On Demand. That's enough for me today! lol

    My goals are to work out at least 60 minutes a day and work on making better food choices!

    Suz - nothing like a little friendly competition :)
    Today was a good day for work out. Got in a 45 minute bike ride then about 30 minutes of gardening plus did the 250 mini squat challenge (thanks for sending the link Suz) plus a while bunch of abdominal exercises. I'd say today was a success.

    Hope everyone else is having a successful day. One day at a time everyone and we can do it!!

    wow you're all so active! It's quite inspiring, I hope to start exercising again soon as the weather is getting warmer.
    Tuesday was a 'meh' day, I did stick to my calorie limit but couldn't resist having half a pack of bread :( (was aiming for a reasonable 2 slices) Not very filling unfortunately

    Did pretty good today. Was hoping to get a bike ride in again, but it was storming pretty bad off and on most of the late afternoon and evening. So it was an inside day today. Did the 100 superman challenge (got them all in). 30 minutes of yoga.
    Have a great night everyone!

    I'm sick with a nasty head cold so my exercising is taking a back seat until my head doesn't feel like exploding. I'll get back into it after I get better.

    Hello everyone!
    Wednesday went ok for me, while Thursday was completely perfect. I've noticed that I drink A LOT of water lately, up to 6l a day, which is annoying. Could it be ketosis? I'm going to incorporate some fruit into my diet just in case.
    Good luck with the plan!

    Good morning! I am still suffering this horrible cold... but being sick has it's perks. I lost 2.2 pounds in one day. Thanks to drinking lots of water and green tea, hahaha. Anyways, I might attempt 10 minutes of the standing abs today but that's probably it.

    Haha, the only good thing about being sick. Hope it passes soon :)

    Ok, so about this weeks weight - lost .9 kilos! I'm really glad I joined this challenge, kept me accountable. I did drink the 2.4l water every day but didn't stick to my plan a 100%. Overall it went well. On to next week!

    YOU ARE THE VERY BEST!!!!!!

    AWESOME LOSS, EVEN WITH THE HEAD COLD.

    I have been ill for the last 2 weeks. Just can't seem to shake anything.

    I gaines so much weight and I am so sick of myself. I just can't seem to keep focused. It always goes back to something going on in my personal life. I think I need a doctor to help me or something.



    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I KNOW what to do& I KNOW what I do wrong, but I still do it WRONG!!!!

    I have 14 clasroom days left then I will be off for the summer. I was supposed to have had 20 pounds gone by now, but I am still the same. :-(



    OK I will TRY REAL HARD to create some golas for this week, and HOPE & PRAY for successful week!!



    I will check to see if you started a challenge, if not I will get it going. Thank you all!! Looks like many of you are doing so well!! CONGRATS TO YOU!!
