    Ended up doing a total of 24 airplanes in Zumba class! :laugh: I went to one that I had never been to, and the instructor had two sets of 12 in one of her songs. I'm not logging them separately tonight, since I did them in the class.

    Tomorrow I'll be walking since its an off day for my running. I wish I had a working bike to do some of the miles on!

    Well.... had a good weigh in today, but calorie-wise it was terrible. Went to the Little League World Series with my son and brought an apple and some granola, but ended up going over my calories anyway. Kettle corn, I have a love-hate relationship with you.

    Anyway, as far as I can figure from google maps, the stadium to our car was about .5 miles. I wish I brought a pedometer, but that would necessitate me buying one. So I'm going to stick with 1 mile for today, total.

    I haven't used my exercise bike in forever, but I think I'll be dusting it off to do some of these miles! Tomorrow is also a C25k day, woo! I always feel good after a "run" day. .... i need to work the kettle corn off.

    5.64 miles done on treadmill and bike.

    Also, I have a bad back so I do a lot of water aerobics, does this count? I did 1 hour today.

    I want to make sure I understand the challenge for the week:
    25 miles walking, jogging or biking.
    40 Airplane poses

    Odd question for people who use ellipticals. Mine only does distance in revolutions/rotations, not miles. I searched online and found a conversion (1138 revolutions = 1 mile) but it seems really high. Does that seem right?? On the treadmill I'm consistently running 10-12 minute miles and it seems to take me almost 30 minutes to do 1138 revolutions on the elliptical!!! How do you all convert yours??
    hay i dono if mine is right but mine says 30 mins 5.5 miles i think =) hope that helps

    Wow-yours says 30 minutes is 5.5 miles! Holy crap! Did it say that in the manual or did the display just read 5.5 miles when you worked out for 1/2 an hour?

    Sorry I haven't checked in yet. I worked a crazy amount of hours yesterday. (16hrs!!! :noway: ) and I finally feel awake.
    Here are my stats:
    Hight: 5'7
    Wt: 140
    Age: 26
    My goals:
    1. Keep up with 1 lb/wk wt loss
    2. Get 100% on all weekly challenges.
    3. Drink atleast 8 glasses of water 5 days/wk (my water intake is pathetic)
    4. Start jogging more. The 'cardio push' is going to help, I walk alot already.
    5. It's not really workout/food related But I want to get at least a 'B' in each of my classes this semester. :bigsmile:

    Just looked at the route I just biked after work on walkjogrun.net. My route was 6.7 miles on my bike. Combined with the 4 miles walking I can post 10.7 miles for the first day. I'll need to do some yoga to catch up tomorrow ;)

    3.5 miles for me yesterday too, plus all 40 airplane poses.

    Keep up the good work team!

    Thanks, it was just such a nice night for a bike ride. walkjogrun,net is a good free website to figure out how long trails are since it just links up with Google Earth. I was honestly surprised that the route I went on was that long.

    Good work to everyone else :)

    I did 3.6miles this morning; as fast as i could walk (between 3.5mph and 4.0mph) with occasional bursts of jogging. I have a hip disability so doing this amount is HUGE for me (6months ago walking a block was too much for me & my hip); im having alot of soreness, but not as bad as i thought. Im going to try to do as much as I can this week, even if i cant walk and need mass pain pills, because its my final week for my biggest loser challenge.. but im only doing it until friday because i have a big bbq on saturday and need to stop walking by then because it takes me 3-4days to lose water weight from mass excercise and my final weigh in is on tuesday.
    I havent done any airplanes yet, but i will catch up tonight. (i didnt see the challenge until yesterday afternoon and had a busy night, so didnt have time to attempt airplanes, let alone any walking).

    My goal this week is to drink a minimum of half my body weight in ounces of water a day (16cups), plus an extra 4-8cups; eat as well as i can; do a couple clean eating days, dont let myself eat something bad just cuz i have calories for it (like the hamburger helper i had last night), and do some type of cleanse on sunday. Also try not to eat out, and if i do, eat at a place that i know is 100% healthy and doesnt contain mass sodium. Its hard when i have all these extra excercise calories to not want to indulge on extras when im left with a thousand extra calories, but i just need to use those calories on healthy/natural items, not "extras".

    1pm, 16cups of water down; today wont be any problem to reach my 24cup goal.. will prob go over even.

    Tues -
    4.5 miles
    10 airplane poses. Would have done more but I angered my lower back. Must have poor form, will try to do better/right tomorrow.

    Week total thus far:
    9 miles
    10 airplanes.
  • babybluz33

    Progress so far:

    Monday: 3.51 miles (with cardio push), 40 airplanes
    Tuesday: 5 miles (with cardio push), (will do another 40 airplanes)

    So a total of 8.51 miles so far, and tomorrow I need a break from running. I'm already super sore. I don't know that I'll be able to get the full 25 miles by the end of the week but I'll certainly try. I just need at least 2 days off of running this week or I'll be too sore for my 5k on Saturday.

    Also did 10 airplane poses.

    So, totals:

    6.3 miles
    10 airplane poses

    Got about 4.5 miles jogged today, had a slower running partner and trying to keep his pace was harder than just running. No airplanes yet today but maybe after dinner. Keep up the great work team!

    4 miles in 73 minutes today. Up to 14.6 miles so far. Don't know if I'll have the juice to go for the same bike ride later today or if I'll get to airplanes tonight either. :/

    My Goals for this Challenge:
    1. To loose weight (no specific goal - just get it off!)
    2. get working out to become a habit rather than forced
    3. get above a 90 on my PT test in October
    3. To get support and to give support!

    sorry its a bit late, had a crazy few days. i did 20 miles today thanks to 18.5 in my spin class.

    Mon: 2.25 miles (with cardio push) / 24 airplanes
    Tues: 2 miles (with cardio push) / 20 airplanes

    Totals:
    4.25 miles
    44 airplanes


    I know I'm not going to finish all 25 miles - I'm just not up to that level walking/running and I don't have a bike or elliptical to do extras on. So I'm gonna try an do a lot of extra airplanes to somewhat make up for it. :smile: I'm going to do as many miles as I can without over training tho!

    I had a FANTASTIC cardio push today! I usually average 10 miles on the stationary bike in an hour. Today, I did 12.5 miles in an hour! I'm pumped! Team, just so you know...I usually workout 4 days per week. However, since I want to "push more" for this challenge, on my "lazy days" I will try to walk a mile. Every little bit counts!

I did 3 cardio pushes on my jog each time I ran harder than the last. I am really going to try and get to 25 miles but it is going to be tough!!!!

    Mon: 2.25 miles treadmill (with cardio push) / 24 airplanes
    Tues: 2 milestreadmill (with cardio push) / 20 airplanes
    Wed: 2 miles treadmill / airplanes

    Totals:
    6.25 miles
    44 airplanes


    Did another 2 miles today. Up to 6.25 so far this week which is a good feeling. On the down side, it was supposed to be week 5 day 2 of the C25K program and I just couldn't finish the last run. I think its a combination of two things - the first is that I didn't drink as much water this morning as I normally do before I run, and I did a 2 mile walk yesterday on my 'off' day from c25k. I prob could have finished it but my brain just wasn't in it today. So I'll push it back till Friday.

    But at least I finished out the 2 miles, even if the last .6 or so was walking instead of jogging! I'll be doing airplanes this evening most likely. We're going bowling, so after that I'll just do a couple sets of 10 before bed.
