    oops :

    -i forgot exercise minutes this past week. = 714. i really stepped that up this week.

    - individual goal for this week: 500 calories minimum per day/6 days during the week. & a grand total of at least 3500 calories.
    (that approximates what i did this week- i just do not burn many calories per minute.

  • Alright we all have been working so hard towards our goal of healthly living. Today while working out I stopped & had to remind myself why I started this journey. It pushed me to the end of my workout. So, I think that it will be inspirational to eveyone if we know why we all are here. Please post your inspiration.

    I am on this healthy journey because I want to be a role model for my two children.
  • I am here to become healthier and to encourage others on their journey.

    I see I am a team captain. Can all my players pm me? Anything I can do to help you out this week, please let me know! I encourage you to try and take just one step more than you normally do....you'll feel so good in what you accomplish!:flowerforyou: We'll take it one day at a time.

    Healthier, happier days ahead:happy:

    Way to go! I had the same kind of day!!! The first 15 minutes had me wondering whether I wanted to work out or lay on the couch. I finished the work out and felt so good for pushing myself to finish. I then did the challenge workouts from another challenge. I like the idea of posting the inspirations too!
  • Good afternoon,

    I hope that everyone is having a great holiday. Here is another fit challenge for you. Tuesday Challenge is for you to complete 25 Burpee's. If everyone in your team completes the Burpee's the team will receive an extra point. Here is a link on how you should complete the 25 burpees. There is a modified burpee for the beginners. Good luck & let's push it up a notch.

    Love the pic! It is alot harder than you would think. I hate doing 5 mins. It literally kills me. Good luck & glad that you gave it a try. Think about those muscles that you challenged with the bear walk.
  • The big day is soon here. Is everyone ready for tomorrows check in. The bigger question is are you ready for next week. I have a big week in stored for everyone. I will be challenging everyone to the core. Let's go big. We aren't weak and there isn't a challenge that we can't conquer.

    I have some extra time today, so i thought i would catchup/check-in a bit early.............(except weight):smile:

    weight: will post in am
    measurements: no change this week
    goal: to be healthy. i got medically kicked around in late 2010/early 2011 and am grateful it looks like i get a 2nd chance.

    team challenges:

    calories - missed on one day - 9/4 - and by just a bit:sad:
    water - no
    bearwalk - yes.
    burpees - no.
    new workout - yes, i think so (?). I was thinking about hitting some of the weight machines i haven't tried yet but the gym lost power today and suddenly the weight machines became too popular. So instead I ventured to the gyms 3rd floor to try out the indoor jogging track. I have not done that before as it generally seems to be an area for the super fit to marathon, warm-up or cool down. i ended up doing 2 miles of jog/walk intervals and it wasn't as bad as i thought. :happy:

    sorry i couldn't help more team triumph!


    fitness: i blew this out of the water. best for me by far in a a long long time......
    exercise minutes: 1,024.
    individual challenge exceeded: calories burned was over 500 every single day. Total 5457 (range 527-1128/day).

    i plan on continuing this rate as long as i can still walk:bigsmile:

    workout minutes: I am hoping to go for a walk this weekend, even a run by Sunday...still a little scared but need to jump back in the saddle if I'm doing the half marathon next month!!

    Height: 5'5
    Weight: 168
    Waist: same
    Hips: same
    wrist: same
    arm:same
    Team Challenge-stay under target calories & drank 64 oz or more each day COMPLETE
    Mini Challenge 3 Minute Bear Walk NOT COMPLETE
    Tuesday Challenge 25 (modified) Burpee's NOT COMPLETE
    Thursday Challenge NOT COMPLETE

    I am struggling with whether or not to re commit to the half marathon I was planning on running. My surgeon has given me the ok, but my conditioning has clearly taken a hit with o exercise for nearly three weeks. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
