AWESOME JOB!0 -
How about a fitness challenge for next week...such as 50 jumping jacks a day, sit ups, or 30 min exercises daily?? Anyone up for it?? Any suggestions??0
-
Lost 2 lbs, this is my first week. I was secretly hoping it might be 3 or 4lbs but still good news. Actually, I'm kinda glad it was 2 lbs as I've got out there and burnt 350 this morning on my cross trainer, so definitely haven't lost motivation!!0

This sounds okay, but let's keep it really easy and not required... because it's stuff like this that has discouraged me in past challenges I have joined. I'm way too easily discouraged though. :frown:
I like the idea of "30 minutes of exercise daily", but that's probably because I already do that! :laugh:0 -

Congrats on the losses, Leah and misslouisee!!
Yesterday was a total veg on the couch day. Honestly... I barely moved all day.... I was in Jersey Friday night and Saturday. Friday night, I hung out with my sister and a few friends (read as late night). Then Saturday morning, I went shopping with my mom and sister. Saturday afternoon, I went to a Craft/ Arts Fair and lunch with my sister and 2 cousins. Drove an hour home and went to a BBQ at a friend's house. Basically a late night and shopping sandwhich. I had a great time, but I was exhausted yesterday. As with anytime that I overdo it, I had a headache and wasn't feeling well. I was tempted to workout but.... well excuses, excuses.... Anyway on to the QOTD....

Congrats on the weight loss!! I weighed in on Saturday and was (by my count), down nearly 4 lbs. But, I guess, because I went up some weight since I joined MFP, it is only recording "1 lb. lost". Still, it was a "loss", and will leave me well on track to be down where I want to be for October.
QOTD #8: What's your workout plan this week? List it!
I normally do quite the exercise, but last night, my BACK/SHOULDER went into spasm!! PAIN!! While I was ASLEEP. Turns out I have "torticollis" (wry neck syndrome), which means I'm limited to walking for the next while. I am in tremendous pain, and cannot lie down, but I can walk, lol!! Good news: I don't need meds (ice will be fine), if I can control the pain with ibuprofen. And, with daily chiro treatments, I should be pain-free in a week and likely totally better in 2 weeks.
I'm gonna get down 2 lbs. this week. I SWEAR IT!!0
