    Alright push ups! I say that sarcastically, I hate them. Good luck everyone!

    Does anyone else have sore abs? I am not sure if it was the situps or the burpees -- or maybe I did something really wrong. :D

    I am doing my pushups in sets because of it - being in plank is making my belly really scream!

    I have sore abs too--for me I'm pretty sure it was the sit-ups!! I thought today was the squat lunges....I'm glad I checked before doing them. I've done the Jillian Michaels DVDs and I'm doing Chalean Extreme now, so I am VERY, VERY familiar with push-ups--doesn't mean I love them....

    Sorry--don't remember who wrote this--but our team member who attended her sister's restaurant opening--I think you showed incredible restraint! The fact that you were able to have some of what you wanted but to keep the bigger picture in mind was inspirational. You chose happy AND healthy!!

    The drive-in is a blast!!! We go a couple of times each summer. It's not the best way to watch a movie if you're a purist 'cause there are distractions but to go see something like "Cowboys and Aliens", it's wonderful. Go. go. go!!!!

    I wanted to say thank you to everyone--I haven't been and stayed this motivated for this long (and yes, I know we only started on Mon, so you can imagine my success had stalled out) for quite a few months. I'm choosing differently knowing that other people are counting on me. Hopefully, I'll eventually be able to make those better choices just for myself, but in the meantime, it's working!!!

    Have a great day!!!!

    My week just gets worse day by day. Today I'm really not feeling well and ready to give up on the whole thing. I didn't go to the gym like I usually do but I did my push ups at work. Haha. I don't think I will have weight loss this week and that is sorta frustrating! I hope everything will go back to normal next week.

    ALSO!!! Don't weigh in until Sunday!!!

    Alright ladies! It's the last day of week 1!!! Today's challenge: 25 squat lunges. I'm not EXACTLY sure what they are, but here's a video showing what we're going to do!! http://www.ehow.com/video_2351882_squat-lunge-combo-exercise.html If you have a kettlebell, you can use that for a little extra UMPH!


    Now remember, tomorrow is a day of REST, but you still have work to do. I will need you to weigh in and send me a MESSAGE with the following information:

    BEGINNING WEIGH IN: XXX
    MONDAY: COMPLETED/NOT COMPLETED
    TUESDAY: COMPLETED/NOT COMPLETED

    Remember to BE HONEST! No one is going to see this but me. We all have our share of slips and we shouldn't be embarrassed. I'm looking forward to seeing who our big "LOSER" for the week is!!!

    Felt like I've overdone the 1,200 calories today but I've not worked out yet though so I guess I'm doing good! Happy week 2 everyone

    I think all of us combined are supposed to do 100 miles! It's a team effort!
