We interupt your regularly scheduled thread for a much needed whine fest........
I need to change my work out routinue, I feel like I'm killing myself.
I use to get up at 5:45 and have time for my workout , a shower, do my hair, get ready for my day, but now that school has started and I have to get my daughter up at 6:45, half the time I don't have time to get a shower until after I come home from dropping her off at school, just before the daycare kids get here (gross I know!). I don't have time to do my hair, so I end up pulling it into a pony. Im trying to get up at 5:00am so I have enough time, but it's taking a toll, I feel like I'm wearing down, and not wanting to get up at all. I need to sit down today and see if I can chage something around in my day so I can make this all work....Ughh!
I think I'm gonna have to set my goal lower than most everyone else's, I don't know how I can reach 500 a day without taking a lot of time away from "family time", which is why I try to get up early which takes me back to my original problem, vicious cycle isn't it!
45 min on the treadmill at 3.5mph only burns around 168 cal for me, and I'm already working-out three times a day most days to reach the calories I've been burning for the challenges(around 460 - 477), so I need to find a goal that is actually do-able but is still a challenge.
Okay whining over, we return you to your regularly scheduled thread......0 -

This challenge has meant a lot to me since it has helped me be more accountable with exercising! I think that answered both those questions! teehee!
Anyone that stands out on your team?
Well ... I have been on a few teams now! I think Circusmom has been there with me on each team! Yay! There are also a few ladies from other teams that share encouragement on my posts. I think having folks that cheer you on and encourage you are great! And always helpful!0 -

My goal is set low for a very similar reason!! I want to make sure I set reasonable goals for the long run. So, I'm just trying to bun 250 a day! That's extra stuff though ... like workouts or strength training stuff. Oh and any extra home improvement projects my hubby tosses my way! LOL! I'd love to burn 500 a day, but I weigh 164 and that ain't happening unless I sacrifice other things which can't be sacrificed, you know? You set your goals for what you can do with YOUR schedule and that makes YOU happy! It's not a competition on who is burning the most cals a day ... It's a competition on how to push yourself a touch more than you would with out the motivation to do so. It's about completing what YOU can complete! Don't feel bad because your totals are lower! You are doing what works for YOU! Also, you know the lower your weight ... the lower the cal burn. So that totally sucks! LOL!
ETA~ (((Hugs))) to you! Things will work out!0 -

What has this challenge meant to you? How has it helped you? Anyone that stands out on your team?
This group has meant so much to me. It has given me the drive to workout each week, and it has helped me want to eat right! This challenge has helped me realize that there are many other mother's out there taking a little time out of their day for themselves, and that doesn't make us selfish, that above all has been the best thing for me. Also the constant support that Karie, Becky and Louie have given me over the last 7 weeks has been priceless and much needed. A HUGE thank you to everyone in the SAHMU challenge!!!0 -
Okay gonna be brainstorming my goals as I type them lol... Here goes nothin'
Cardio:
STRETCH before and after each workout. I know the lack of that has been causing me issues.
Ride my bike 3 times this week (at least). I love it and need to do it more!
Strength:
Circuit Training at least 3 times this week.
Crunches/Ab work at least 3 times this week.
What has this challenge meant to you? How has it helped you?
This challenge has meant so much to me to be able to share this experience with all you wonderful ladies in the same stage of life as me..therefore understanding the ups and downs of making it all work, the stress, TOM showing his ugly head to all of us lol! This has helped me to push myself farther having something to look forward to. It's important for the workout routine to not become monotonous. Doing different things has helped keep this fun!0 -
Hi Ladies,
My internet is back!! Yay!
**I need everyone to post there weigh ins and points for last week! What is up with that! Lets finish this challenge strong, if you can't follow through with this than how will you follow through with this weight loss journey, this was only 60 days! I also need calorie goals posted for this week.
You all have done a great job! I am so glad that those of you who are here and strong have really dedicated yourselfes to becoming the best you can be. I truly believe that one of our biggest problems with losing this weight is follow through. It is important that we finish this challenge strong so when we move on or for those of you who decide to stay we keep working hard and we don't get lazy or slowly slip back into bad habbits.
Have a great night,

You hit on a very important point for long term success: that you have to be able to not only maintain the intensity of your routine but be really "in to" it; I'm not always enthusiastic about my routine (tough to get to the gym somedays) but I love the classes I'm taking, truly enjoy them, so I keep going!0 -
