    Sorry I have been absent for the past couple of days. Had an outpatient surgery for my wrist. So far so good, no complications, but I am not super hopefully for this weeks weigh-in as I'm dealing with pain yay! *sarcasm

    Everyone's progress looks great so far!! If you guys need anything, don't hesitate to bug me. :) I'll be on and off for the next few hours.

    @Triciasaunders5 don't forget to post your weight this week. :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I was called into work earlier today and had to return home due to not feeling well. I just got home and I'm going to go have a sleep in hopes it does me well.

    In the event I don't get the weekly stats posted later this evening I will do it tomorrow morning. In the meantime, if you go into the spreadsheet you will at least see the winning teams.

    Sorry :neutral:

    2 days and a wake up till my last weigh in for the challenge!! I'll also be doing my measurements and posting both the starting and ending (I think that is going well :) ). I got a crazy bug and started the 5x5 strongly lift program this week so hoping I won't be retaining too much water. Work hard for your "good luck" y'all, and have a great weekend ;)

    Just a heads up to the team that I will be reporting my weigh-in a day late for week 4. Instead of Tuesday, I'll be posting on Wednesday. I'm traveling and I'll be back then. Thanks all and hope you all had a great weekend and a great rest of the week.

    Still feeling pretty yucky myself, Will try and be a good girl and get a bit of exercise the next couple days but at the moment I want to curl up somewhere and hibernate. This was already going to be a busy week anyway but tis annoy when my body is being grumpy on top of everything. Tis exciting for it to be the last week of the challenge though :)

    Last weigh in for the challenge (drum roll please…):

    181.5

    So for me a total of 12.2 lbs

    And my measurements:

    Beginning Now Change
    Neck: 13.75 / 13.5 / -0.25
    Arm: 13 / 12.75 / -0.25
    UB: 38.5 / 37.25 / -1.25
    Waist: 38 / 36.25 / -1.75
    BB: 43.5 / 41.5 / -2.00
    Pooch:44.75 / 43.25 / -1.50
    Thigh: 23.25 / 22.25 / -1.00
    -8.00 inches

    **sorry it's hard to read...It doesn't like MS Word formatting...**

    My Goal was originally to Jog for 5 minutes. I underestimated myself and the first time out managed 10. So I changed my Goal to 15. I accomplished that on the treadmill and on street! (Yeah!!) Even better, I pushed myself to 20 min last night! (my left hip is hurting though…and I have been stretching my calves and hip flexors- if it persists I may see my DR.)

    I am going to cut back on cardio and work on Stronglifts 5x5. I will probably increase my calories (decrease my deficit) with the hopes that a smaller deficit will allow me to build some muscle without putting too much scale weight on. 

    If you are staying with the challenge thru May I wish you…..Determination! :)
