    Go @mandyloose123. Great work.
    Me, I am back training on eliptical trainer, walking the dog and trying to explain to her that under my body, mid plank or during push ups is, in fact not a hug station. I think she is trying to convince me otherwise! BtW she is a saluki/labrador cross and can push me off my hands if she sits up under me.

    So funny! I have to lock the door in our den when I do these. I have a bloodhound and yes she can open Amost any door. Her solution is paw mom and kiss her to death.

    haha I feel the pain! I have a husky, a beagle and 4 cats! They are getting better about letting me workout uninterrupted but if I want a really good workout I go to the gym! No pets sniffing and licking my face that way lol

    I don't have any indoor pets ( outside have chickens and sheep) but I do have a 18 month old who somehow thinks everytime I get down to do a push up that its an invitation for a pony ride.

    I'm old and completely out of shape but I want to join in on the Spring Break Challenges anyway. I originally throught that the challenges were for number of miles walked or run in a week and knew that would be extremely difficult for me to accomplish. Then I looked closely over the Winter Blast 2016 challenge and saw that it was converting miles into hours of activity ... and that I can do. The extra challenges (Detours and Roadblocks) looked like fun also ... so I posted that I want to participate in the challenges! Looking forward to getting started.

    Today was a good day. Did 75min cardio and watched what I ate. I've prepped tomorrow's meals, and I'm planning on going to the gym for some strength training.

    I tried to do both yoga and Barre at home and my 13lb yorkie tried to join in constantly! Glad I'm not the only one who's pets don't want to be "left out"

    I have a 9 month old golden retriever who thinks that whenever I work out on the floor that means its time to give me kisses- believe it or not the cat is worse and tries to get pets all the time.

    Excited to start on March 1st. Am coming off of a partial tendon tear, but have been cleared by my doctor and physical therapist to go back to normal workouts. I gained so much being in my boot and being depressed by not being allowed to move or walk a lot. I am ready to get active and drop these pounds!

    Hello all :) I'm still getting the hang of checking in. Everyone sounds good and motivated. I made it to the gym today and started T25 on Monday... Long story short is I barely made it through but pushed to finish. Every little step will eventually take you a mile! Keep up the great work

    I want to get in shape so bad for roller derby! And yet that alone is just not enough.

    I'm not a team but my thinking is once I'm on a team then I'll work towards it even harder.

    I'm weighing myself on some weekly basis and I lost 6 lbs but then gained 3lbs. Arghhh.

    Here's to continuing the struggle!

    T25 is a beach body video series by Shaun T. Gives you 25 minutes of intense exercise. It's a very hard workout.

    @ilovelucy1930 I use to skate derby before I moved interstate two years ago....I pulled out my skates yesterday dusted them off and swapped out my indoor wheels for my outdoor wheels. I'm hoping to get in a skate once a week. Joining a league is a great way to get fit!!

    We Officially start tommorow. Everyone get your name on the spreadsheet if you haven't already. Contact me if you are having trouble. If anyone else wants to lead a team contact me. We have a lot more members for the race this round and I need a couple more leaders. The job is basically motivate and communicate to your team. We have a lot of members so should be lots of fun.

    Today the scale truly hated me- up over 3 pounds in 2 days. Sure I started squats n weight training and I know it is technically impossible for that to be fat but still feels bad when fluid retention n TOM roller coasters my weigh ins. Be interesting which weight I am for official weigh in tomorrow.

    @KrazedBemused

    Wow!! Yes get on those skates joining a league is so much fun and there is a set time and day when your able to skate.

    It'd be lots of fun just skating with someone near me or a group of people just skating and practicing outside.

    Everyone sounds super motivated with this challenge! I am so excited to get started. I go on a week long trip next week, and I am really stressing it. I know I will be able to keep running, but I am going back home!! Everyone wants to feed me and my being preggers is not going to help matters. How do you guys avoid temptations on long road trips?
