Black Team Challenge week 6

Ok so here it is. I want everyone who competes in our challenges to find their heart rate on the chart. We all have been working out at a good clip so this shouldn't be so hard. The challenge is to stay between 50-85% with our heart rate for at least 30 minutes straight 5 days this week. Plus 100 jumping jacks!

I also believe what jillian says on 30 day shred. She has 400 pound men doing jumping jacks anyone can do them.

I believe in every single one of us. We have done so great at this challenge and we all have become very close.

I don't think that this challenge is so difficult but it's the challenge to make yourself work when you don't want to.

Hope everyone doesn't hate me at the end of this.

EDIT:

Well thank you very much missy!! This is exactly what I need this week!
I am still
eating 5 fruits and veggies a week
drinking 64 oz of water
and have not looked at the scale all week until this morning
So the challenges are really good for me!

I will see you next week and hopefully I will have lost a freakin pound of unwanted fat!!:flowerforyou:

Whoa-- hold it right there, young lady-- what about the ab work? Hmmm????

I'm feeling suddenly very slighted.

Just found this, and while I am not making any promises (this looks intimidating!) I am going to do my best!

Laura-- you are doing so incredibly-- that ticker is just moving on along-- I'm so impressed!!!

Gotta check and see if you have any new pictures on your profile. I love how you've been documenting your progress with photos--

Have a good night, young lady!!

I am having a small problem.

Lately I feel REALLY HUNGRY all the time. I'm adjusting my calories to a 1lb a week loss and am trying to eat smaller meals every two-three hours to try and fight off the hunger but it's just not going away. No matter how much I drink or eat, I just have this growly, angry stomach.

And no, it's not diabetes. I was just tested and everything is fine. I'm perfectly healthy... well... mostly.

So people, WHAT THE HECK? Could it be the new strength training program I started two weeks ago? Or stress? OR WHAT? Okay, that's not actually what I'm asking. What I am wondering is this: Anyone else having troubles with being hungry all the time? What do you do about it if you do?

And if you don't have this problem, PITY ME. And my hungry tummy.

:yawn:

Night people. OH and sorry I haven't been participating too muc.h It's crazy busy lately.

Nicky-YES,the strength training will make you hungry...try drinking a glasss of water before each meal! The only thing that helps me feel fuller is eating clean meals/food and making sure that im eating my veggies anf fruits(no matter how boring they are:laugh: )

I have some great news guys...my DH FINALLY got a call back yesterday and started a new job last night:bigsmile: its 3rd shift but it will do for now:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: we both broke out into a happy dance after the phone call:laugh:

i forgot to add that my workout yesterday kicked my bootie:sick: and my average heartrate was at its target for 45mins:bigsmile: the jumping jacks kept it up too!

ok,bbl

Thanks For the hugs Amanda! Im waiting for him to get now. Im eager to see how his first day went:bigsmile:

Hey nikki,

if the water doesn't work, and you aren't already, try switching to more whole grain (no really - not just products that are labeled that way) foods. It takes longer to digest and can make you feel full longer.

Amelia, great news for your DH - very happy for you both..

Amanda - I just bought a HRM last night as well - time to get serious..

All, hope your day is going well. Will be going down to fitness center at 11 am to do 60 minutes on the cardio machines before lunch..

janie

Does this fur make me look fat?

only this time of year - LOL :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

is that yours..

That's my baby. He's on that scale every other day. Heh. Funny part is he didn't learn it from me because I don't use that particular scale. It's too complicated. ): HAHAHA.

Hey folks-- have my meals planned for the day. Crockpot chili for dinner tonight, slimfasting it for breakfast and dinner.

Had a lovely, frigid run last night-- windchill of 3 degrees. It was cold, but sooo lovely. After the first lap (nearly a mile) I didn't feel so cold anymore, and my brain stopped feeling like it was going to freeze to the inside of my forehead. It was total Marla versus herself, which I really enjoy. Nobody there egging me on, no Billy Blanks encouraging me, no Turbo Charlene-- just me, myself and I-- and when I accomplish those little feats, I feel so, so, so good--

So, I'm feeling great today, guys-- drinking my water, doing my exercise, counting my calories, drinking the SlimFast-- this weight's gotta budge eventually, right?

Have a great day, all--

WTG Marla, its those small battles that you win with yourself that mean so much.
