Sexy in Six Challenge - Team Blue (Closed Group)

alright just finished 50 min. of cardio. i just saw your other post, bethany about the cardio and crunches and stuff.

ok, i can do
30 min of cardio at least a day.
20 push ups
and the 8 glasses of water

the crunches are suuuuuper scary lol. haha but i'll try for 200 crunches a day, and we'll see if that is realistic for me lol. work it girl!!!

Whew!!!

Just finished today's work out. 1 hour on the gazelle (i do the gazelle instead of walking so I dont have to get my kiddos out in the heat). 200 crunches. 2 sets of 20 Windshield Wipers, 3 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 10 Swimmer’s Press and 40 pushups

On target with my food and already have 6 glasses of water down.

Feeling good )

Whoa, overachiever! I’m definitely feeling those 200 crunches from yesterday. Today, liek you I got super stressed out and I really wanted to go out and buy some Pringles eat the whoooollllllleeee thing.

Well, I decided I couldn’t let my team down and I didn’t get them!

Hi everyone,

So far so good. I have been staying on my plan and not giving in to any temptation. I rode my stationary bike 50 minutes and will walk for a half an hour later and maybe do some other cardio,
Tomorrow I go back to work and it is an "In service" day which means everyone goes out to lunch. I'm hoping they pick Applebees because I know they have some things on the menu I can have. If not, I will opt not to go.

Great Job! Usually when I know I’m going out to eat I try to look at the menu online and find a low-cal meal. You can look at some usual places they tend to go. OR you can plan around it, like you can have a light breakfast and then super lite dinner. As well as bumping up a little more working out. It sucks to miss out social outings!

Let us know how it goes!

Finished my cardio, stayed under my calories, drank 8 glasses so far and now off to do some push ups and crunches! I am just getting started adding exercise back in. I usually over-do and burn myself out because I get frustrated about not being able to do what I used to, so slow and steady for me! This challenge is really helping to keep me motivated!! Great job today everyone!

Goood Morning Blue Team!!! Its a great day to KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! - If you get tired of the crunches try youtube - 10 minute target toning by Cindy Whitmarsh - you get a great ab work out in only 10 minutes -

Happy Tuesday!!!!

They made us take our lunch at 10:30 today. The only place open was a local diner. I ended up getting a mushroom omelet made from egg beaters. It came with hash browns but I didn't touch them. :-)

wtg!! so awesome!!! you are stronger than i probably would have been!!

ahhh today has been crazy. ok,

- ate under my calories
- did 15 minutes cardio (took the boys I nanny for a walk) and then I cleaned the house, ran after them all day, made them food... etc... so I would think I easily made the extra 15 minutes of cardio up, but I didn't log it because I don't know how much I burned.
- chugging down the last bottle and a half of water as I type. I WILL have that done before I go to bed.
- did the 20 pushups.
- answered my Sin6 tuesday question

I soooo felt those 20 push ups from yesterday. I felt them all across my chest and in my upper arms today. i could barely manage the other 20 today... so that felt GREAT to know I'm working those muscles that I have been wanting to work!!!!

I am not doing the crunches, but I will try to do them again tomorrow. It really is just about me spliitting them up, like you guys said. Thanks for the inspiration! For the last week I've been kind of not really doing MFP although I am signing in and aware of what I am putting into me and kind of exercising, but since this started and I had "team blue" for support (today and yesterday haha) i've done great!!! We got this!

WTG ERICA!!!!!

So I did pretty well today on my challenges.
- Answered the Sin6 question
- 20 push ups
- drank all the water
- stayed under calories
- exercised for 30 min (aerobics; actually did 50)

no crunches but aahhh tomorrow i try again! i am so wore out. Went straight from work to home where my friend came over for dinner and i made dinner and then we worked out. now i'm winding down and don't see the 200 crunches happening.

another bummer is today in desperate need of energy while working i ate an apple and organic 140 calorie granola. well that stupid apple was like 22 sugar and my limit is 26 day!!! and then that granola (which was pretty good) was 12!! boo on that! didn't know about that apple until I looked it up later. so that bummed out my little diary and its in the red

When I was making dinner for my friend though I made salmon (which I got the wrong higher-calorie salmon ... agh!) and I make this really high in sugar and sodium (honey/soy-sauce) coated salmon from a martha stewart receipe. it is not really high in calories at all, but pretty high in the other. anyway, i said no to that and just had the salmon with a squirt of ketchup which wasn't grand but a way better choice! so go me!!

thanks for keeping me motivated guys. i'm going to do better tomorrow, but thankfully this Sin6 thing is not counting sugars (hate them but they are oh-so good!) and is only worried about calories this week! 2 points again today for team blue!!!

Today is going to be a bit stressful. We have CPR and the person teaching it is always extra hard on me because they know I Have ms.
Good vibes appreciated.

u, erica!!!

i didn't get my exercise (30 min) or push-ups in yesterday!

Also didn't get the push-ups in today!

Will start it back up tomorrow!

I only lost 0.6 lbs this week! I promise I stuck to it, watched my calories (didn't go over), and worked out more consistently this week (everyday) then ever before. BUT I bet I lose big time this next week!!! Go team blue!!!
