WOW, and I saw that you said you had till saturday, but the exrta was posted to be finished by midnight on sunday. Not that it helps much 3000 is a lot.

So whats this I hear about a water challenge???

Ooooohhhh!! Ok gotcha

YAY everyone we made it to 20,000 pledged crunches! I knew we could do it! I am at 500 so far this week. I figure it I do 250 each day the rest of the week I am golden! I did 300 last night and was dead afterwards. Granted it was after a 45 minute run and a 10 minute circuit of the daily challenge exercises, but wow my abs are on fire.

I really really didn't want to do them last night, i was tired from the stuff before, but what kept me going and got me to do them was my team! Thank you Thank you to everyone! I am glad I did them now!!!

PS- is anyone else sore from the wood chops? OMG my entire mid section front to back and aroudn the sides is soo sore from those and all the abs! It's okay its a good sore and one that I am happy to have, but WOW!

okay todays challenges done so 700 crunches done for the team from me. I can't wait to see what the scale says wed. I know I am feeling good, so that is what counts

Bean Tostadas - So Good! (serves 2)

Mission - Homestyle Tostada Shells, 4 shells
Rosarita - No Fat Traditional Refried Beans , 1 cup
Generic - Pickled Jalapenos-Sliced, 1/4 cup
Fresh Raw - *Red Tomato, 0.5 medium tomato (diced)
Fresh Vegetable - Iceberg Lettuce (Shredded), 1 cup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Put 4 tostada shells on a cookie sheet
Spread 1/4 c refried beans on each shell
Add 1/4 of the jalapenos to each shell
Bake for 15-20 mins until beans are heated through
Top with shredded lettuce and diced tomatos
Enjoy!

As prepared above, 2 tostadas equal 277 calories - this is a super quick, easy and yummy meal for under 300 calories!

You can play with it too - try it with black beans, top it with your favorite fresh salsa, add cheese (I personally find that the cheese doesn't really add much because the beans and jalapenos have so much flavor on their own), add a little avocado or guacamole

All you guys that pledged even MOAR extra crunches to get us to 20,000 TOTALLY ROCK!!!! :flowerforyou:

All my daily challenges are done and I was under my calories all days! Only 275 more crunches and those are done too. Woo Hoo!

I didn't lose anything this week which I was really bummed about, but I did stay exactly the same. I have definitely hit a plateau - boo! I think I am training too hard in terms of at cardiovascular level instead of at fat burning levels. This last week I need to rethink some things and hopefully this week I will see better results. I had a hard time getting in all my abs this past week. I did them all but 1500 was a lot and my abs are on fire. I am going to down them this week, but that gives another person a chance to step it up!

The retire portion of the week is about looking back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!
