Easter Fitness Challenge Check-In Feb 16

So far, so good!! (Usually is day 1 :happy: ) I got up early and did my exercise and searched on Exercise TV until I found one I could add. So I did 5 mins of 2 different workouts, couldn't keep up yet!!, then found a strength training session I enjoyed! Yay! Went over on my cals yesterday, but todays a new day and I haven't started on them yet.

Today is spinning for an hour with my fav. teacher

And of course, studying and drinking water and taking vitamins.

Happy Saturday, all!:flowerforyou:

Where do I sign up for the Easter Challenge? I find I work better if there is some competitive goals even if it is only in my head.
Best wishes

Just sign up here. It's a fitness challenge, but you can add other things to it. Niccole also has drinking her waters as well as her cardio and I have putting my fork down between bites. Whatever you like.

Yesterday I walked on an incline for a little over an hour. I got to watch "how to look good naked" on Oprah (I don't have cable). I was impressed. Sounds like a good show. Stop hating your body!

Today I have to do weights! I will do a little cardio as well, but only after my weights!

Didn't feel too good last nite sore throat and fuzzy head so I decided not to get up early and use the elliptical but do it in the afternoon well that hasn;t happened the jobs we had to do took longer than expected decorating and putting shelves up in my utility room but I am not gonna write it off did spend 15 mins this afternoon bouncing on the trampoline with my daughter and while dinner was on the oven spent 25 mins bouncing with my son we compete who can do the most seat drops without falling over I did 65 my son did 100 I can't find trampolining on the exercise list but googled it and it does about the same as jogging as long as you are vigorous which we were.

I also so went for my usual walk this morning for 1 hr.

Gonna get up early 2morrow and use the elliptical then walk.

I also ordered 5kg aerobic weights for when I do my core strength training dvd so hopefully they should be more challenging than my 3lb homemade ones my hubby will collect them on Mon.

Have a gr8 weekend all.

OK here I sit with my helmet on and music in my ears waiting for 1 last cloud to pass. I went out the other day when it was drizzling but we had a cold front come through and cold with wet riding a bike is not what I want to do. So I am watching the radar hoping to get 1 ride in before dark. Today was my scheduled day to do the Veloway (3 mile track for bicylces and skates only) and I wanted to get 18 miles in today. :sad:

So I will go out in a few minutes for my 5 mile short run before dark. Tomorrow will be cold and clear so the Veloway here I come.

My miles goal right now is 1500 for the year but right now I will challenge myself to be on an 1800 mile goal for the year. Finding time is difficult to add too many miles especially for a fairly fair weather gal.

I want to be 10 lbs lighter by Easter!!

Some people might think you're crazy saying the low 70s is cold :laugh:

Ok im in too...
I would love to loose 10 pounds also.
Had a great day so far, it is just beautiful out , so I spent 2 hours doing yardwork. Lots of raking, and it feels great....
Good luck to everyone...:happy: :happy: :flowerforyou:

I like the challenge - 10 lbs. less by Easter. I want to break the 170 lbs. plateau.

Ok my weekend is done and I added another 22 miles of riding. This time it was fair weather 67-71 while I was out riding for 1 hour 45 minutes.

I am committed to consistency of riding my bike and watching what I eat. Now that I am coming up on my 6 weeks of consistency I am hoping to see some shedding of pounds.

Tomorrow is a holiday but I have to go into the office. I hope to be done early enough to get my 5 mile ride in before the rains come in if they don't blow the forecast again.

While riding I was thinking about the consistency of exercise and more importantly cardio work, walking is great but it is not the same. Also keeping my calories (actual calories eaten) to my goal and if I need to go over exercise needs to make up for it. I am not eating the net calories. Today I earned more than my goal calories in extras but I want a deficiet to take the pounds off. The other thing is WATER!! More than 8 you really need it to help you lose the weight.

Good luck everyone!! Have a great week!:flowerforyou:
