Week 1 ~ Team Amazing_Grace (CLOSED GROUP) August Challenge

I did my modified up-downs today (did the pushups yesterday-silly me!), drank all of my water and was under calories (by 7!) But how's this for the challenge working-a friend sent some clothes she shrank out of and they arrived last friday. I tried them on and could get them up and buttoned if I didn't breathe. Today I tried them on (just 1 week later) and they were comfortable. I could bend to tie my shoes, I could sit, I could actually wear them in public. These pants are 3 sizes smaller than what I was wearing 2 months ago!
I went today to the outlet mall and tried on jeans, the real ones that button and zip and no the elastic waist. Two months ago a size 28 cut into my belly. Two weeks ago a size 24 was snug. Now, a size 22 fits! This is so exciting!!
I hope everyone had a great day and tomorrow is wonderful too!0 -
Today I worked out, did 25 pushups, drank 19 glasses of water, and did 50 toe touches for the heck of it! I also stayed under my calorie count.0

Maureendonahue - that's such an AWESOME NSV!!!! I'm so happy for YOU!!! I KNOW that must feel GOOD!!!! :drinker:
You guys are doing an AMAZING, AWESOME, TERRIFIC job of posting your "stats" for me.... Kudos to ALL of YOU!!!!
JUST A FEW REMINDERS....
Tomorrow (Sunday) is a REST DAY.... but don't forget to weight tomorrow (Sunday) morning and post your weight on the thread so we can see how GREAT everybody is doing!! I have to report the weight and all of our other stats to Gary by Monday morning..
We've had 3 people drop from our team this week, so if any of you have any 'friends' that didn't get in on this challenge on another team, there is still time to join - but the absolute DEADLINE is Monday morning... Send me a message if you have someone - ok? It will be first come... yada yada - you know the deal.
Also, don't forget that come Monday morning, I am going to start a NEW forum thread, so don't post anything here .... I'll put the link to the NEW thread here and on my profile so that you can find it easily.....
Each team got some "gravy" points this week due to several people dropping out from alot of the teams (last I heard there were about 25 teams in this challenge)..... but starting Monday... no more "gravy" points!! We gotta DO THIS!!
I'm getting ready to post the challenges for week 2 so that you guys can take a look and view some of the YouTube videos if you want and ask questions if you need to....
Also, I'm going to issue a PERSONAL challenge to all of you on my team - so watch for that for next week too!!!!!!
I think that's it for 'news'..... now go out there and have a GREAT wekend and KEEP KICKING AUGUST'S BEHIND!!

Exercise really done! Went to an amusement park today and chased teenagers from ride to ride. No big deal if they just rode the rides in order. But they go from one end of the park to the other and back to do the rides in the order the kids want. I'm exhausted but it was a lot of fun!0 -
