    SOOO...

    September Challenge : WEEK 1 : DAY 1 : COMPLETE

    64 ounces of water : CHECK

    Under Calorie goal : CHECK

    Complete Food diary : CHECK

    100 Jumping Jacks : CHECK

    75 Squat Kicks : CHECK

    (Sorry ladies I didnt do the bushmaster today...but I did do some other exercises like some sit ups, leg scissors and push ups...I am trying NOT to kill my body because I am starting a new fitness program next week..and I dont want my body dying when I start it so that I cannot give 110%...not that I am not giving my all to the team, I hope that none of you think that....I am still kicking butt, and probably by the end of the month I will be doing the bushmaster :smile: But for now I am trying to test my body out...if that makes any sense at all to you ladies, LOL :laugh:) Ok..enough rambling....

    So yeah..today is a GREAT go! I even ate pretty healthy today, which I am SUPER psyched about! WHOO HOO! :bigsmile:

    Ok that makes sense, I was just checking to make sure, LOL :laugh:

    Yeah I am the same way...I am SOOO tired by the end of the day, I really have no energy to do anything, but I am really gonna try and find a better time, though I AM NOT a morning person and I am afraid that if I wake up earlier that I will be SUPER tired throughout the rest of the day.....:sad: :ohwell:

    I will keep your mom in my prayers...my mom is messed up too..she is on MFP but rarely logs...she had a heart attack a few years ago at 37 years old...she is considered "obese" and she smokes, has high blood pressure and many other problems..so yeah I know how hard that can be to deal with.. :frown:

    Yes we are still going to have mini challenges...i figured give everyone these first few days to get into the challenge and on monday (or sunday night) start posting mini challenges....i need to figure a better time to get my workouts in...im barley getting them in now since i started back teaching.....im not a big morning person but thats probably when i will have to get them in


    on a side note...please keep my mom in ur thoughts...she got her blood work back and her sugar levels were WAY high (blood sugar 300)...ive told her about MFP and a couple other sites that I use to use....she just needs to use something to help her keep track...

    Ok LOVE the signature, and I finally got it to work, HAHA! :laugh:

    I am really trying to figure out which section of the challenge I am going to do, I am thinking about starting a new fitness program, and I dont know how hard it will be...so I may just do the easier version (not to wimp out) just not to overdo my body to much....if ya'll know what I mean...

    Oh and my starting weight is 150.7 and I am 5'2 1/2 (or 5'3 whatever you want to say, LOL, I prefer 5'3 but TECHNICALLY I am only 5'2 haha) :tongue: :laugh:

    Oh and are we going to have mini challenges each day too ? Just wondering cause I havent seen anything posted today about that...

    September Day 1 - Challenges complete

    No bushmaster for me either. I was feeling awful yesterday. TOM was kicking my booty! I also had my freshman son's football game and then off to the grocery store at 9:00 p.m. to get everything we need to go camping this weekend. Four kids, two dogs, a husband and a tent for three days. Sounds horrible, I know :smile: , but I'm actually looking forward to it. We will be swimming and canoeing and I will be doing my challenges.

    Oh and the best part? I hit 169.4!!! I've said goodbye to the 170's forever!!

    Good morning everyone!

    First of all - Monique, I'm SO HAPPY you are cleared for exercise now. Not just because you can work out along with us, but because it means your health is back and that is a blessing! I am amazed at your positive attitude even when you were facing such a struggle - that is a true captain, so THANK YOU!

    Secondly, I was pretty frustrated at work this week with a situation, but I think it might end up being a positive for me. The head of our office said support personnel (I work at a law enforcement agency) could attach our lunch break to the beginning or end of our work day so we can work out longer and still be at work the required hours. I got into a great routine of working out before work and arriving at 8AM and working until5PM, with no lunch, but now I have to be here at 7AM and work until 5PM. I've been trying for a few days to come up with a positive here - I think what I'm going to do is use the lunch break to do our team exercises and get in a short walk, in addition to my morning workouts. That means I won't have to squeeze them in at night when I get home.

    I'm planning on doing the Bushman series workouts all month - the only reason I would do basic would be if my knee is bothering me too much for the advanced exercises. I'm writing this in my post because it will hold me accountable to my teammates!

    My starting weight is 215.9 on 9/1 and my goal is to lose 6lbs in September to be at 209.9. I cut back to 6 lbs from 8 as my goal because I will be out of town from 24 September - 2 October on a missions trip rebuilding homes damaged during Hurricane Katrina. I'll have no control over my food (gracious volunteers have been cooking for teams since the storm - WHAT AMAZING DEDICATION!!) but will be working extremely hard in the heat, so I'm not sure what that will mean for my weight. I will do my best!

    One more thing - I made my 50,000 yards swimming goal for August (thanks for noticing Monique!!!) and will try really hard to step it up and get in the 50,000 this month despite being away from a pool for 9 days :)

    I know this post is REALLY long, but I had alot to say this morning! As for yesterday, here is my progress:

    Food diary - stayed under calories and drank all my water
    Team challenge - yesterday was my rest day, so I'll start today on challenge 1 and do 2 tomorrow and 3 on Sunday

    Will log all food and be under calories

    If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.

    Went off the grid today, bet your glad I'm not an official member today...cause I had me some good food today!!!

    Hubby made his famous jalapeño bread, and cinnamon rolls...then I made our families chicken enchiladas omg I am one happy girl but I may have to workout a week to cover all those calories...lol

    I have learned we all need a day once in awhile to just relax, eat some good food w/out logging/obsessing and enjoy life...that's what I did today!!!

    So exercise challenges for today...done
    Water done
    Did not log all my food
    And definitely went over calories
