September Challenge - Team Amazing Grace (CLOSED GROUP)

Okay, so, here's how my day went:

Waaayyy under calorie goal...may indulge in a libation after the children go to bed. Don't worry...I'll log it. ;-)
8 cups of water

1 minute Bear Crawl: I'll admit, this was tough. It did NOT feel right at all and I had trouble with my hips and knees. :-(
100 jumping jacks
50 crunches: I hope it doesn't matter what type of crunches. I did a conbination of different ones.
25 split squats: 25 on each side
1.75 mile walk with my dog

This is all in addition to the 2.25 miles I ran earlier today. :-D

Sorry guys haven't had much time to post, but I've been doing the work and have continued to meet my goals!!! My wt as of Sunday was still 161 lbs.

My daughter created a couple options for us for banners. They're pretty simplistic... but it's something. She didn't know what to do with "Amazing Grace". lol

So, let me know if you like either of these.

AUGUST SEPTEMBER 5TH

Hi guys! I did not leave the group, was in vacation for the long week-end!

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 6th

Ok, no challenges exercices done yet... I'll catch up, don't worry BUT I did 5Km of biking!!!

Water = check
Under calories = check
TEAM CHALLENGE = 5 Km of biking!

Too bad it's only one that count per day, cause I did 15Km

See ya!

Completed all except the bear walk, 20 split squats, and the 20 windshield wipers. Will make those up tomorrow.
Also rode 20.5 miles on my bike, and 2 miles of walking at work. I'm not sure if biking counts for the 5K point, but if it does, that's one more.

Already downed about 12 glasses of water.
I'm certain I will be under calories. I just burned over 1200.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 7th

Questions for @Amazing_grace. you're often talking about C25K, what that's mean? (remember, I speak frence hihihi :laugh: )

I can answer this one! The C25K is a program that takes you from being a couch potato to running a 5K (3.1 miles). It is Couch to 5K with it's full name. You do three workouts a week for 9 weeks. The first week is simply warmup 5 minutes, run 60 sec and walk 90 seconds for 20 minutes total, then cooldown for 5 minutes. The final work out is that you run for 30 minutes after the warm up and then cool down. you can goole C25K... here is one of the links: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

I did the program. I did a quarter marathon (6.55 miles) last weekend and am now training for a half marathon (13.1 miles)!!! This program takes people who hate to run and shows them the joy and great benefits... I highly recommend it

**Edit: I was one that hated running!?
