Under in calories, 13 glasses of water, 50 ab crunches, 50 toe touches, 50 push ups and 3 sets of 21's. I'm going to have to add some weight to the 21's soon as they are becoming much easier. (Still hard for the last set, but getting there!) Also climbed quite a few stairs (about 100) helping my boss do some stuff. A fairly good day all around.0

Ok, I got a little behind this week, so now I'm playing "catch up".
Friday
200 jumping jacks
100 mountain climbers
20 lunges
90 sit ups (for the team challenge)
Today (so far)
3 sets of 21's
36 woodchops
50 Globe jumps (opted for these instead of killing my inner thighs again... lol)
50 sit ups (toward Friday's challenge, not the team)
So I still owe
200 more jumping jacks (ugh!)
and 3 extra miles (going out to do these later today)
and the remaining 50 sit ups for Friday's challenge)
Sheesh!! I don't know how you girls do alllllll those ab crunches. Kudos to YOU!! Wow. My abdomen must realllly have no muscle tone whatsoever - haha.
**AS OF THIS POSTING, WE HAVE DONE 3815 AB CRUNCHES/SIT UPS TOWARDS OUR WEEKLY TEAM CHALLENGE!!0 -
Just did the 100 crunches and 50 burpees for yesterday. I will put in some more crunches later for the team challenge.
So, does that hundred count towards my goal of 1000? Or is it separate because it was for yesterday's daily challenge? And do I have to actually complete 1250 to make that extra 1000, since I already committed to 250 for the team challenge? Or did that pledge to attempt 1000 count as my contribution to the 4000 challenge and wipe out the 250 I initially agreed to? I might be able to make the 1000, but I'm not so confident if I have to make it to 1250!
And I just realized that I forgot to add in my walking from yesterday! I totally came in under my calorie goal!!! Yay!

@SarahRuth - 1000 is 1000! So don't worry about the 250... if you go over 1000 for the week, that's good enough!0 -
200 more crunches done. That puts me at 800 for the week (not including yesterdays 100). Only 200 left for tomorrow. Will definitely reach the 1000. I have to say, though... these are getting harder and harder and my abs are so sore.0

YOU ROCK my friend!!0 -
I took it fairly easy today, did my 50 crunches and the two mile walk, drank 8 glasses of water and was under calories for the day. Let's hope all this hard work pays off tomorrow!0

water goal: done

Well I lost 2lbs. I'm at 163lbs. It's still very frustrating, but I did loose an inch in my waist, so that was a little encouraging, especially since it's Aunt Flo time and so I was a little surprised to have lost an inch NOW LOL
Have a wonderful day Team AG!0 -
@SarahRuth - You are an AB MACHINE!! You and Cath killed those things this week!!! All I can way is WOWSA!! :noway:
The week #4 challenges are not yet posted, and I haven't had a chance to catch up this thread from where I left off yesterday, but I can tell we have already gone over our 4000 crunches for the week and EVERYBODY IS DOING AWESOME!!
I'm off to church, and will catch everything up this afternoon.
Don't forget to POST YOUR WEIGHT ON THIS THREAD TODAY!! We get points for the pounds lost too!!
(Oh, as for ME, I didn't lose, but I didn't gain either...)
Also, there will be another thread starting tomorrow morning (you know the routine), so I will let you know where to go!!
Have a GREAT SUNDAY everybody!!
You guys ROCK!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Was under calories yesterday, just barely got in the 8 glasses of water, but got them in. I ran 1.5 miles, since my bike ride was cancelled due to rain. So I have another half mile to go, but I have a bike ride planned for tonight so it shouldn't be a problem. If there is rain again, I can run another mile or so later.
Just did another 100 crunches. These are really hard at this point, but I am determined to earn those extra points. I'm spreading them out throughout the day to make it a little easier. Only 100 more to go til I hit 1000.
I usually weigh-in on Saturdays, and as of yesterday I was down 1.4 lbs. The scale wasn't quite as nice to me this morning... so use yesterday's please... LOL0 -
YIPPEE!! Down 3 lbs for a total of 30!! My goal when I started in late May/early June was to lose 30 lbs before my cruise, and we don't leave for another 2 weeks!! I am so excited! I really think this challenge has helped me and held me accountable. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement!0

@maureendonahue - I'm SOOO excited for YOU!! That's terrific!! You have worked so hard and I'm glad that you hit your goal weight loss 2 weeks BEFORE your cruise!!! You're AWESOME!!
@SarahRuth and @cath1717 - I know I said it before, but you Ladies ROCK!! You must surely have abs of steel!! Haha. Thanks so much for alllllll your hard work on those ab crunches. And thanks for earning our team an additional 20 points for doing over 1000 ab crunches each!! I wanna be just like you guys when I grow up!! (hehe).
@Xtine - you can do globe jumps or squat kicks in place of the burpees (ups and downs) if you need to modify that one....
As of this posting, we officially have 4515 ab crunches / sit ups for the team challenge!!!! YOU LADIES ROCK!!
As soon as I have the new challenges for next week, I will post the new thread... I don't have them yet.

Week 3 weight: 183.6 (-0.8) boo!!! Had lost more early in the week, but the weekend got to me....
Saturday:
water -- 10+
calories -- under
exercise -- no, as I spent ten hours in a car driving my stepson to college and getting him settled in his dorm. Didn't get home until 11:00 pm.
Sunday:
water -- yep (12 and counting, and it's only 4:30)
calories -- will be way under today
exercise: 200 jumping jacks (for Friday); burpees for Friday; ab-crunches for Friday; 100 more ab-cruches for team challenge; and i will NEVER do that many ab-crunches at one time again!! I can barely walk!!
I will try get my walk in for Saturday before bed tonight -- I'll post it if I do, and I'll send our Amazing Leader a PM, too!0 -
So I dd my weighin and I am at 171.4... I will take that since after my vacation last week I was at 173.something!?
This morning I ran 7.6 miles to train for my half marathon in October... It was really good I took 1 hour 45 minutes to do it. That is at a 4.3 mph and I was aiming for 4.5. I am happy that I RAN it all and didn't give up! Last year at this time I was "running" at a 15 minute mile (4.0) with about half walking
@amazing_grace: I had a great date! We have been dating for about 2 months now but had never actually gone out to a "nice" sitdown resturant. SO we went to Carabas and to a Shadowbox show (rock & roll plus sketch comedy show). We have never dressed up to go out... we do our running together and so we see each other at our stinkiest!? :laugh:
Sadly yesterday I did not get in the jumping jacks or crunches because I sent the day with "my guy" up with his parents and then volunteered at shadowbox that evening. I will try to throw in the crunches tonight and I will count my two miles for day 6 in my run, thought I was only going to do 4. As of right now I am doing my calories for Fridays resturant food to see if I made that goal. I was under yesterday and plan on being under today. Friday through today I got my water in.
Edit: didn't do the burpees either, but I will work on getting 50 squat kicks in!0 -
Just did my last 100 crunches. That puts me at 1000 extra + the 100 from the other day, so a total of 1100 crunches this week. I'm sore, but I actually feel stronger doing them now. LOL0
