Hi Guys,
(yes I totally stole the "Slimpossible" title, but I really like it ;)

This is a continuation of a challenge I posted last week, but don't hesitate to jump in if you are new to our group. The more the merrier!

After a fantastic week last week we are continuing the mini challenge by adding a mile and a twist.

Like last week the object is just to keep moving, walk/run/hike/roll/hopscotch/crawl/bike/shimmy through 16 miles this week.

For a bonus: Add something new to the mix. Work out with a friend you have never worked out with before. Try something new at the gym, find a new route/park/area to exercise. Buy a new pair of shoes, or get a new DVD. Find at least one way this week to shake up your exercise routine.

Log your progress as you go!

I'm looking forward to hearing what new things you guys come up with!

Thanks for keeping me motivated and making this such a fun thing to do.

    HI

    ARE YOU DOING THE CHALLENGE ON MFP? I DON'T SEE YOUR SLIMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE ANYWHERE? AND DON'T YOU HAVE A WEBSITE?

    HI sexy,

    I stole the name not realizing it was part of something larger. I won't use Slim possible in the challenge title next week. Sorry for the confusion.

    I already set up to work out for the first time with a good friend of mine and we are going to try some classes, which I also have never done.

    Count me in again...I'm loving the mini challenges! I didn't get to walk yesterday....my foot gave me a fit because I had already been on my feet all day. By the time we could walk I was in too much pain (I have micro tearing in the ligaments in my foot that I'm trying to work through. I got over 15 miles anyway though, so I'm good :-)

    As miserable as the weather is here right now (it's been raining all day and downpours at times), I forced myself to get on the treadmill. I'm on week 2 of Bridge to 10k and I did 5.3 miles today.

    I did about 7-8 miles yesterday brisk walking and about 4 miles biking. It was a "free day" for me, spent the whole day outside and thought that outside and moving was better than outside and being still. I just needed to move yesterday. It allowed me to not just burn calories, but I feel I also burned off last week's work stress and came back to the office today feeling fresh and energized. Exercise clears your head as well as helps your body.
    I won't be able to accompish that much per day through the week but I'm determined to accomplish the challenge you've issued!!!!

    I also jogged 3 miles this evening and walked 3. I won't be doing this everyday, just on the days I have the energy to do so:)

    Keep it moving everyone!

    and yeah, i've challenge my self to at least 50crunches everynight (done also!) but i ate too much last night (my little sis b-day):sad: . have to burn all the extra calories tonight so hopefully another 4miles..:bigsmile:

    Hi ya,
    I got 3 more miles in the bag, a grand total of 7 miles. I am hopping to get a 4 or 5 miler done tomorrow to help me get closer to my goal. Keep on moving.

    Great job! I agree - having the accountability definitely gives me a push to go farther. Plus you added crunches - Way to go!

    I chalked up another 2 yesterday for a total of 12 this week. I'm hoping to get the last 4 done tonight so that the rest of the week I am beating the goal!
