    well, met all my goals for yesterday and even got a head start as I did the burpees last night. (I thought I was gonna die! I split them up into 20, 20 and 10) Also I added 200 crunches to our crunch challenge.

    Burpees and ab crunches done for challenge. I did an extra 50 ab crunches for the team. I also did a 5K on my treadmill. I wanted to see if I could jog it the entire way. I did. i am so excited. Next week, I will do it at a faster pace.

    @spngebobmyhero - thanks for the recipe. I added it to the collection from last week.

    Hey y'all! I think somehow with all the additions of crunches that a few were missed, so I've added them all in.

    I completed my 400 and that brings us up to 3000!! Woohoo! Almost there everyone! Yesterday, when I did my challenges I decided to see how many jumping jacks I could do without stopping and did all 200!! And that was right after a butt kicking step class! Woohoo!

    well, we went to a baseball game last night and me, with my infinite wisdom (lol), trying to "eat right" got a turkey and swiss cheese wrap. on the surface that sounds healthy, but i had no idea how many calories one tortilla would cost me! if id have put it into my calorie counter before i ate it i wouldnt have had that AND the chips they gave me....i would have picked one or the other...

    lately ive been working out pretty late at night - starting between 8 & 10 and not getting done till between 930 &12. i have also been soooo tired lately, and it occured to me last night (when i got home from the baseball game around 10) that it might not be the healthiest for me to be working out as hard as i am and not getting more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night. that being said, i didnt workout last night :( and as a result was over on my calories for the first time in three weeks :( i did get more than my needed water in though.

    i tried to get up before work this morning and workout, but didnt manage to get the workout i wanted in....i did, however, manage to get in one of my extra miles. today is a new day! and ill be getting in more exercise and knocking out some more of the challenges this evening.

    hope everyone has a great day!

    You are so right. Working our right before bed has always been detrimental to my sleep. I did find that if I did a small workout about two hours before before bed (staring at 7 if I went to sleep at 11), I slept soundly. Good luck and we can't fault you one day. You have been doing an awesome job. At least you were honest also. My ballgame meal was more liquid than solid last week.

    i went to a game last friday or saturday and had a similar meal to yours, mostly liquid, lol :) i worked out so i could, lol :)

    Going to be eating on the go this afternoon and evening so threw a couple of Luna Bars in my purse to help. I have no idea where we will eat dinner tonight. If traffic ends up being too heavy it may end up being fast food. I'm not going to beat myself up too much as I think this is the first day all month (maybe the second) I may be over on calories. Luckily the wine at the show we are going to is not very good so it should be easy not to be tempted. If I am going to add a glass of wine to my calorie count I want it to be a good one!

    Good morning everyone here is today's challenge!

    Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 100 AB Crunches + 50 Burpees (Oh yes they are back) Up/Downs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKKKNR5USXc )

    Did the crunches (all in one set) and substituted the 50 Burpees for 50 squats and 50 lunges (also did each in one set). Legs are aburnin'!

    Thanks! I shocked myself with the lunges and squats. My legs have gotten stronger than I thought :)

    Day is done! I am going to finish sipping my wine and maybe have another glass. Don't worry, I'll still be under the calorie total. Daily exercises and water goals met.

    An aside: Son #1 went for a job interview today. There were others interviewing also. Let's hope something becomes of this. I love my children, but...

    Found a sushi place for dinner so was able to stay under my calorie goal, yay! Good thing I ordered a mixed drink aftwards that I didn't like (so didn't drink) instead of ordering wine. That would have really pushed me over the edge. The Luna Bars are so great to carry with you. I usually end up going to the 24 hr Jack in the Box on the way home when we are out late, but had the Luna Bar to eat on the way home instead :)

    Day 6 Exercise Challenge – Walk, run, swim, jog, bike 2 miles today. That’s it you’ve kicked your own butt this week!


    I would love to try sushi but I am a wimp! Can you recommend something for a beginner to try?

    Well I have another 200 crunches to add to the list but I will weight, the day is young and I will be crunching some more!

    I have hit the top of my goal weight range! I am shooting for 125-135 and I am 135 as of this morning! I didn't think that this would be possible for this month.WOOT!!!!!!
    You are all doing fabulous, 1 week left.

    PLEASE GET YOUR STATS TO ME BY MIDNIGHT TOMORROW, INCLUDE CURRENT WEIGHT AND THE CHALLENGES YOU MET FOR THE EXERCISES.

    Drink a boat load of water today, that pound will more than likely be gone by tomorrow. Keep your chin up!

    Sass thanks for the advice, but if I drink a "boatload of wwater" won't my boat sink. I prefer the floating kind, especially with a handsome skipper. (Sarcasm) We need a shorter way to type this word.

    sass30- I didn't like sushi when I first tried it. I remember spitting into my napkin it was so gross. I later realized it was the seaweed that was used to wrap the roll I didn't like. What got me starting to like it was eating sashimi, which is just the raw fish by itself. It has to be really fresh though. Salmon is probably the easiest to start with. Dunk it in soy sauce mixed with wasabi. Ahi (tuna) was the second I ever tried and is still my favorite to this day. I will sometimes splurge and get some sashimi grade and have it at home. Also try a roll that does not have seaweed around the outside of it.

    mkkaluzny- Instead of using (sarcasm) you can just use a winking smiley. ;)

    Been having a good week with the weight. Catching up from my slow beginning. Lost 2 lbs :) I usually don't update my weight numbers until Monday morning, but think I will cheat a bit and enter them today. Another 1/2 inch off the waist and abs too.

    I will donate a bunch more crunches. I also need to do something to make up for the woodchops I missed. I've never used the "thighmaster" type machine at the gym. Maybe I will try that.
