MISSDEEHERE'S ONE WEEK CHALLENGE~FOR SHORT TERM GOALS

I too was off for the holiday week Back at it again today. It is suppose to be in the 90's for a couple of days so I am trying to get my exercise done in the morning. I did go for a swim to cool off tonight. I can not wait to get my kayaks out, what a great core workout that is! I am trying for 450 min of exercise and 8 glasses of water (I usually only get 6). Good luck everyone and keep up the great work You are all amazing and we can do this!

MissDee hope your trips to the hospital area sucess and he can get his pain in control. Hope you can make the best of your time while there too.

Mak your support is amazing,

Suz way to go!!!! That's AWESOME!! Keep it up.

Lisa Welcome, Way to knock out your goals.

Oma Hope things continue to settle in your life.

CrazyQuilt Kayaking sounds like fun, no where around here to do that much.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, couldn't believe the differences you can see between the two pictures, really hadn't been able to see changes in the mirror, was able feel my clothes fitting differently and have gotten down a size in pants, but the weightloss in my face and neck is very noticable.

Sounds like everyone had pretty successfully Monday. YAY for us :drinker: (in the spirit of MFP my little "drinker" is raising glasses of water to you all)

Dee - Excellent job on your goals today. Sorry to hear about the ticket I'll email u tomorrow how I did the quotes. It's easier to do on my computer (I'm on my phone now).
Suz - Congrats on the loss. And welcome back to the exercise train! There's always room for passengers.
Kris- Nice job today on your calories and water! Good luck getting your walk in tomorrow.
Renee - Good luck with the kayaking. That sounds like lots of fun!! And good luck with the water. If u find your self under by 2 glass try getting in 7 and working on that. Then work on going up to 8. U can do it!!!
Seesaa - Good luck getting to the gym!! Not sure if you've been with Miss Dee's weekly challanges but its an awesome place for support if you need some help staying focused. We are all here for each other.
Lisa - how was pilates?? I've always wanted to try a class. Tried a few DVDs but have always wondered what the classes are like.
Laura - hope you got you workout in today!!
Oma - how was ChaLean?? I've seen that on the beachbody site and it looks fun! Why are they so $$? I need to find a place to do workout DVD swaps!! Cuz I want to try them all! LOL

Goal Check in for Monday.
1. Week 5 P90X & get a couple bike rides in. Maybe 4? Got my Am P90x workout in. But no bike ride. Will try tomorrow. I get to work from home so I can start my work day a little earlier so I get to log off earlier.
2. Drink all my water - done. On a side note do you guys count plain hot tea as water? Just wondering what others opions were on this. I'm not sure
3. Don't mess up on the weekend. We will gave to wait on this one.

And now it's time for me to sign off. I'm all tuckered out
Have a winderful night and keep reaching for your mini goals!!! Together we CAN do this

Kris; The stressful part is getting better but my life will never be settled with 3 grandkids!! Not sure I'd want it to be!

Mak; Thanks so much for keeping things going with all your support! I absolutely love ChaLean! Except that she really likes pushups! I'm keeping up with everything else but my left hand is still too weak from tendon surgery on my finger a few months ago. 3 months of not using your hand at all does more damage than you'd imagine! I hope to be able to do at least a few pushups correctly by the end of 30 days!

Oma, I too am interested in chalean extreme and turbo fire, but am not sure if I can do either. My core is very weak, I can't do push ups, sit ups and crunches hurt my neck, and I'm just now getting to where I can do jumping jacks. I want to be able to do these things, but am not sure if I'm ready for the expensive video package yet.

I've only been doing it for a few days but I haven't seen any sit ups or crunches, and I do NOT do jumping jacks! You do everything with weights based on your ability and no more than 12 of anything! I was actually surprised at what I could do! Of course today is the ab burner day so I may discover those evil things! I'll let you know!

Ok today I did get 1 mile walk in today drank 9 cups of h2o, and under calories after my workout calories added.

yes i am still in Canada aye? lol

Report Day 3

Goal 1: Do scheduled exercise daily-ChaLean Xtreme, and elliptical on ChaLean off days
Did day 3 of ChaLean. Boy did I get an eye opener!
Goal 2: Get to bed on time every night! That's by 10pm Sun-Thur, by midnight Fri&Sat(ok, not so strict about the weekend!)
Woohooo! I was in bed at 9:20! And still overslept this morning, dang it!
Goal 3: Same as before- a few steps further than the day before based on pedometer!
1st day steps: 4715 Day 2: 7278 Day 3: 6921 (oops)

Dee- you were absolutely right! Trying to reach too many goals was just making me crazy and I wasn't getting any success! ChaLean is awesome! It's definitely hard work but it feels good! Maybe because for me sweating feels good. I know...EEWWWW!
