TEAM GREEN- SAHMU- Go Green! (closed group)

I'M BACK!!!!!! Vacation was longer than planned. But I am here. I need to catch up with everyone and see how you've all been.
Well I weighed in this morning and I have to tell you, I'm actually happy. I had 4 days of vacation of bad eating and being lazy and I didn't gain anything. I would have loved a loss, but no gain is just as good with how this weekend went.
Here are my numbers

Starting: 288
Week 5:268.0
Week 6: 269.0
Week 7: 269.0
Total: 0

Great job maintaining whlle on vacay! you rock!

Lynda,

I am not feeling bad this time.. I was not eating very healthy though... and im confused how my scale turns... It happens every week on wednesday...

Early morning, before i take food i do the weigh in..and generally i would be on higher side (today i was 159)... then i just cant control to re confirm again... so i take my breakfast and after a while i go and weigh in again and I was 157.6.. this is the weight which remains...lol.. Even today i did the same... so when should i weigh in, i thought most ideal would be in the morning before taking any food... Confuseddddddddd :huh:

I stayed the same again:( this is why i stopped doing weight watchers. i am happy that i have stayed the same, because that means my eating is in check, but it just goes to show how much more i need to get to the working out!

Hi ladies,
My internet is back on!! Yay!! I was so lost without it! I missed you ladies, how has it been going? Today I had more of a rest day. I did unload some bricks from the car it took 3 wheelbarrel trips. So that was a little workout. I am thinking about posting a new thread for those of you who want to continue the challenge. We will change it up a bit and add some new things. I will do it sometime this week, anyway hope you all have a great evening!

Yay, Yay, and Yay!!!

We missed you too Karie..

Cardio part 2: ( 1 point)
My goal is to rebuild the strength in my ankle through walking. I plan to walk every day, but I will not over commit to a certain amount of time or calories burned as I don't want to push too hard and do further damage. I commit to walking until I feel discomfort whether that be 2 minutes or 2 hours.
Wednesday- Goal completed!
Thursday- Goal complted!
Friday- (goal in progress - went for a walk at lunch and will probably walk more this evening.)

Calistenics everyday! 50 situps, 50 Pushups, 50 leg raises/ leg and 50 reverse crunches! Will modify and add in more exercises as I am able but don't want to commit to anything that will strain the left ankle so no jumping jacks or stairs for me yet.

Emotional challenge: (1 point)
What has this challenge meant to you? How has it helped you? Anyone that stands out on your team?

This challenge has meant a lot to me. More than I can articulate without first putting significant thought into it. This is not my answer, merely my place holder until I formulate the words.

*** I hope it is okay with everyone that I am not commiting to a specific number for my calorie burn goal. I just don't want to set the bar too high and feel like I failed, or too low to the point where it is embarrassing. I'm more than a little bummed about the expected 2 week recovery time for my stupid twisted ankle, but I don't want to drop out of the last week of the challenge because then I know I'll be even more depressed. I'm tryng to focus on doing the best I can with exercise and being very careful with portions and calorie intake. ***

Today I worked out like crazy! I decided to create an awesome homemade sidewalk off our back deck. I harvested rocks from a mountain near our house. That was alot of up and down the mnt with heavy rocks, then I brought them home unloaded them and got busy digging a trench to put in some boarder bricks I had purchased. I then dug out and arranged the different rocks. I thought I would get alot further but it is about 1/4 of the way done! So I will be back at it probably Monday.

1606 calories burned today!! Oh Ya!! I am beat!

1600 cals is fantastic.... Great going... I would burn so much in 3 days time..lol
