    I am over on water (9+), under in calories, I did my extra mile and for some reason did pushups and lunges. I was at work so couldn't check what I was supposed to do, so I just did some stuff!

    I hope everyone had a great day!

    Exercises: 3-21's from Tuesday; 50 Butterfly presses (instead of military presses, due to rotator cuff issues) also from Tuesday; 100 mountain climbers; 20 lunges; 100 of the 200 jumping jacks (I'll do the rest tomorrow -- I developed a foot cramp tonight)
    I also walked 2-1/2 miles.

    I was under my calories today by 4?! But then I did some thinking and raised my calorie limit due to the longer runs that I will be doing as I train for my half marathon. It is only an increase of 60, but we will see what happens in a couple weeks :wink:

    Everyone is doing great! Keep up the great work :drinker:

    Okay, went for a 19 minute run to work off the extra calories, so I am officially under now, and I'm done with my 8th glass of water.

    So, I'm good for today. :)

    Time for some TV with my daughter.

    Did a walk this morning (6AM mind you, and I don't do mornings) before heading off to work. Drank my water and somehow managed to stay under calorie goal, although my choices weren't always the best. Also did the 50 crunches for the competition, but that was as far as I got before needing to get into the office.

    QUESTION ABOUT THE BURPEES/UP & DOWNS:

    Does every jump count for 1
    OR
    You have to jump 4 times in a square shape to count for one?

    Thanks guys!

    @Cath - those jumping in a square thing are really called Globe Jumps. He posted the wrong video with that day's challenge. You can do either one (the globe jumps or the burpees aka ups and downs) for today's challenge. The way I understand it, 4 times in a square = 1 globe jump.

    Hope this helps!!

    Also, as of this posting, we have done 2925 ab crunches / sit ups toward the weekly challenge!!!

    YOU LADIES ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Yesterday I was under my calorie goal, drank my water but only got the lunges in :cry:

    Tonight I have a hot date that I am wearing SKINNY JEANS AND HEELS for.... so I won't be working out. I will throw the jumping jumping jacks onto Sat and Sun (200 each day) and do the mountian climbers tomorrow with the ab crunches and toe touches (bad knee).

    I will be doing the 21's and woodchops at work :wink: Yes I look funny but I get 'em done!!!

    Friday: Letting everyone down today, sorry!!

    For the first time in over 3 months, I'm over on calories -- but honestly, it's the first Friday of the school year, and I really, really deserved the margarita AND the chocolate!! :drinker:

    I got in my water (11 cups), but the exercising is beyond me tonight. I'll be traveling most of tomorrow, so it'l be Sunday before I'm able to get caught up!!
