    Day 5

    Mall Walking 30 minutes

    200? calories

    We walked a lot more than 30 minutes but we dedicated to walking before we did any shopping. I dont think I like walking in the mall of america so much because there are sooo many people and they all walk ridiculously annoying.. stopping and spreading out and all over the place. Oh well.. Least I did something!

    DAY #4 - Saturday

    saturday seems so long ago, but i did shoulders and walked on the treadmill. wasn't the greatest workout, but i was out all day and went late saturday night


    Day #5 - Sunday
    sunday was a great workout. squatted 335 lbs which was a new high for me. i think i could have gone higher, but i didn't want to push it. legs are going to be sore over the next two days but it's always a good sore
    i burned 1350 calories in 2 hours.

    DAY 6 (Mon 5/30)

    Exercise: Walking 2.5 mph
    Time: 30 mins
    Cals: 196
    Felt: FANTASTIC!!! I wasn't that enthusiastic to go, but I knew I felt TERRIBLE yesterday for hardly getting any exercise in. I let down myself, this group, and everyone who believes in me. I wasn't going to let that happen again - so I grabbed my stuff & went. My Inner Critic tried to say "Oh yer too sore... you shouldn't go." But slapper her muzzle on and cranked up my MP3 player and strutted my stuff! Now I gotta get my food under control - for some reason I over-eat when my niece is here. Not sure why - not her fault.

    Day 7 (Monday)....wooohoooo 1/3 of the way done and it has been a whole week and I can't believe I didn't miss a day!!!! Awesome!!!!!
    1. What: 55 minutes of walk/ jog with 5 minute jog intervals 5 mph
    2. Duration: 55 minutes
    3. Calories:320 or so
    4. How I felt: Really great. Sweat was pouring, heart was beating along nicely, and instead of gasping for air I felt strong. Today I felt like a runner again and very proud of myself.

    So the activity so far at 1 week check in: work days seem harder for me, days off are easier to get moving, but either way I am so happy to see all of the different activities everybody is doing. I hope this thread keeps going as it is a great motivator. What a fabulous idea! See you tomorrow with a hike and possibly p 90x ( I am chicken so this may wait another week).

    Lol think I could push your baby around in a stroller? Nice burn with some quality family time! Awesome! Your day 6 sounds impossible, but quite fun! I have not been kayaking in years, but remember that when I was done my arms were so shaky that is all I did for the day.

    hehe - thanks! Day six was a bit much. Kayaking - if done right - is 80% ab work ;) It's went from 50 to 90 overnight where I live...hoping to get another long walk in with baby today.
    You are motivating! yes - we are 1/3 of the way there! keep up the good work everyone!

    Day #6 (5/30)

    2 hours of weights (chest/triceps) and abs at the gym
    1290 calories burned

    went right after work which is peak time at the gym. i remember why i never go at this time. i managed to find a spot to lift, but the place was crazy
    incline dumbbell press, incline close grip dumbbell press, cable crossover, pec deck machine, triceps cable pressdown, overhead extensions and then i did about a half hour of abs and stretching.
    it was a good workout overall. ran out of time for cardio so tonight i'll concentrate on that

    WOOOHOOOO!! 1 week down! 1/3 of the way to our goal! So I have a question.... if you weren't a daily exerciser b4 this, are you starting to feel the urge to exercise now? Like me are you waking up thinking "When will I exercise today?" Not "augh... I gotta exercise today..." I'm starting to look forward to it! In fact I'm upping mine from 30 mins to 45 this week and hoping I can do an hour for the last week of the challenge. My friend says the next step is actually MISSING it when you don't exercise. I want that!! I want a body that CRAVES getting up & moving! That's antsy to be in motion! Sick of this body that's been happy to have my *kitten* stuck in a chair... LET'S MOVE! :bigsmile:

    YES! Historically (in high school, college and after college for a while on and off) I am an athlete by nature. I have NOT worked out since I got pregnant with my first son who is about to be 6 so call it almost 7 years!! About 4 weeks ago I started working out in earnest doing a bootcamp class. About 2 weeks ago I decided to try to do double sessions. As of last week I started to plan my day around working out and eating. It is sort of insane but it is working. I find if I can workout 2x a day (even if one is just a walk or yoga) it does wonders for me and for weight loss and being able to eat a little more.

    Anyway since you asked :)

    i do feel the urge to exercise but i also like to procrastinate which sux cuz i wait till the end of the day to get in my workout.. I love this challenge though it motivates me to exercise everyday. i love the exercising because it helps to keep my depression under control and relieve stress! I hope that i can get to the point where i jus get up exercise and not wait till the last minute.
