What about exercise challenge? Are we just repeating the previous race? Or coming up with our own thing?

Vicki, if you want to come up with an exercise challenge you can, I'm game for one! Than we can have on of each so everyone can choose to pick which one OR both,

For the nutrition, I'm choosing late night snacking,

Maalea

I am giving up pastries and ice cream for the week!

Rigibann

I'm not eating after 7.30pm - so no evening snacking or biscuits with a cuppa!

Okay! The exercise challenge I am suggesting(and will do as well) is this popsugar fitness YouTube video:

Burn 500 calories in 45 minutes:

I love this video, because it has mods for everything, makes me sweat, and is loads of fun!

The challenge for myself is to do it three times this week! Would love it if anyone else wanted to try it at least once this week with me!

I'll try this twice this week BUT ONLY 30 mins each session! Probably Tues and Thursday,

I'm going to give up late night snacking. I'm going to try to get the video in at least once this week.

I gave up diet coke... and today was day 5!!

How do you post a picture???

I'm happily married for 40 years and love my husband so don't take this the wrong way... but I decided that Justin Hartley from Smallville is just too good looking for his own good! My goodness, what a guy...

Bought a goal dress today for my birthday! It actually fits, just a little tight in a few places to feel comfortable wearing it out. So excited to try and fit into this by our Disney trip, which is about 6 months away! It is Beauty and the Beast!

Alright Team 6 Six pack! I have our unofficial spreadsheet ready to go. You can either Ctrl Click on it or copy paste in browser. It is still in Google Docs, so should be able to get to it pretty easy.

I sent you a message,

love the spreadsheet,

I just did the video but ONLY for 20 mins plus I had to modify it! My right calf it's getting better but Sunday, I stepped off a step leading to my kitchen. It was felt like I pulled a muscle so I spent a hour or so in the hot tub and pool, Sunday. It's a lot better but no jumping for me,

.

So my plan is to do the second half Thursday

Alright, I added the days going without your special treat. If you use the link you should be able to edit the sheet, if you don't want to use the like, you can send me a request to let you edit it. Not sure how, but someone else did.

I did lousy again yesterday. Went over calories. For some reason all this crap is calling to me, and I can't tell it no. Doesn't help that the BF is eating everything, and shares with me. We were also supposed to go to the gym last night, but he was exhausted, and I couldn't get him to go .

I can go without him, but I think it would lead to a fight. I did manage to get steps and water in. I think today, I am going whether he goes with or not.

March Measurements:
Waist: 36
L thigh: 21.5
R thigh: 22
Chest: 38.5
L arm: 12
R arm: 12

Thanks for the video! What a great workout, I'm tired!

My first goal...... is to continue my "no diet soda" thing, as of yesterday, I'm on day 7. And unlike some times when I tried to stop my loved diet soda, this time, I'VE REALLY stopped. No cheating at all! I'd say that's a pretty good NSV, so yeehaw to me! I'd like to quit because I'm way to addicted to caffeine and it's time to stop the madness!

Second goal..... Not weight related at all... but I want to finally finish all of the Harry Potter books! I have them all on my Nook so it's easy enough to do. Lately I've been hooked on watching Smallville on Netflix, but out of 10 seasons, I have 5 more episodes left to watch (it's the very exciting climatic ending!!) so when this is over, I'm not going to start watching anything new, and will continue my goal of finally finishing the HP books!

Goals
1. The first one is Fri - Sun, focus on heathy food choices and remember portion control. If I can do this I might be able to get closer to my goal weight !

2. Healthy options or portion control on Easter and spring fair! I WILL be at my goal weight at the end of this 6 week. My daughter and I are going to a Tim McGraw & Faith Hill concert in May,

Rigibann

Goals

1. In six weeks I want to be 4.5 pounds lighter. I know that doesn't seem a lot but I have yo-yoed the last 7 pounds for a year now and I want to make a proper dent the that excess weight.

2. To make a definite effort to choose the healthier option when eating out with friends and family. I usually end up saying 'what the heck' and choosing anything, which is normally a bad healthy choice and as we tend to eat out a lot if I can manage this most of the time it will be a bonus.

Good morning lovely ladies. I am sure having a hard time getting in any exercise. Once again I thought we were going to go to the gym and exercise so I didn't do anything before hand. Hah I should know better. We went to the kick off party for the competition they are having, but the BF didn't want to stay. Then we had a banana split. It was yummy, and put me way over on my calories. Last night I did my weigh in for the competition, but found out it isn't based on weight, but body fat percentage lost. So even those who are bulking can participate. Will be interesting.

I am going to give up gummy snacks starting today. The goal is to go 6 weeks without a gummy.
Do the best I can for this competition. (Not sure what a reasonable body fat percentage is for 6 weeks. Lose 12 pounds. Yes this is aggressive, but I think I can do it.

Walk my first 7k in May.

Remember to do my measurements.

I wasn't able to get the second half of the video done but hopefully tomorrow!

Y'all are so awesome for doing this! Especially putting together a spreadsheet @jdelaroy! I haven't been doing super awesome this week at all, but I can't change the past. Looking on to tomorrow and making better choices. I'm going to take measurements tomorrow morning after I weigh in for the week. Friday mornings are my weigh ins now.

1. Do 4 days or more of at least 20 minutes of cardio. (10 Points) 3/4 days complete

2. Take stalk of where you are at, write this down whether you share with us or not is up to you. Take your weight, write down size shirt, pants, and bra size, Take measurements of your neck, chest, waist, hips, thighs, and arms. (5 Points) To do tomorrow...

3. Write down at least 2 goals for the next 6 weeks, and why you want to reach these goals.
Please Share! Goals for this 6 weeks are 1) to get back into logging everything; Food, drinks, exercise, everything! I haven't been logging lately and I just need to get back to it, pronto!

2) To exercise for at least 30 mins a day 3) Drink at least 64 oz of water daily 4) Take my vitamins daily, when they come in the mail 5) But first and foremost, clean out my exercise area! With traveling every weekend, clutter has invaded my exercise space! Ahhhh! There's more, but if I can start with these basics and get those down on the regular, then I can add harder stuff later.

4. Exercise video I haven't done this yet!

I will still try to get this in 3 times this week, but at this point if I can do it once, I will be happy.

I need this. Thank you for this. So so so so so much!

@TrkyVic0327 I understand, I completely need this too. I also have been having a bad week. I think I have blown my calories every single day this week, and have done hardly any exercise at all.

Thursday nights are usually roller skating nights, and we were planning on going. We were also planning on playing hooky today. Well the BF ended up working for 10 hours and didn't get home until after skating started and he hadn't had dinner yet. So no skating. Plus his work schedule for the week got crazy, and the weather has been crazy so no hooky. I think this bummed me out so much so that I haven't really cared. I did manage to go to the gym yesterday after work. I did a fast paced walk on the treadmill for 40 minutes. According to my Fitbit, I was on the high end of cardio or Peak with my heart beat for the majority of the work out. I wanted to do an hour, but my socks were a little too big, and started causing blisters. Stopped before it was too bad.

I am hoping to get the video in today after work, if I remember. Either way I will get some kind of exercise in it. I need to really focus on my heating. I also need to get measurements in.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
