    Great job hitting your water goal and exercise goals so far! You are all doing an awesome job. If you aren't making them do your best - don't hurt yourself!!!

    Don't forget that this is labor day weekend and all those BBQs you are going to can be tricky. Moderation is definitely the key to survival for the weekend! Enjoy!!!

    (reposting form my "wall") I was poking around the red teams thread and I foudn out that they are taking sept before and after pics... it might be interesting to see the difference a tthe end of the month... This also gave me another idea... measurements... if you aren't taking measurements I highly suggest you do! They are great motivators for those times when the scale stalls!


    Let me know what you all think :D

    2. Do something new or different (exercise wise) this week
    3. Keep drinking that water (8 ozs per day)
    4. Watch that Sodium - Keep it under everyday this week

    1. Weight 9/9/2011:144( I was expecting to lose a little more but Im happy the scale has finally moved under 145.) And I will try my best to not weigh myself again until next friday!

    2. I did get in at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, most day i went over (up to 63 minutes.)

    3. I didn't reach my water intake (8 cups) any day this first week. This is something I have always struggled with. I will work a little hard towards this, this week.

    Great Job!

    You have been working out like a demon! I bet if you increase your water intake it will help your body flush itself out and the weight will drop drop drop!!

    yay now the page is perfect lol....

    Today i didn't feel like working out because my legs are a little sore from 30 day shred but I couldn't take a nap before work so i decided to do the 20 minute rush zumba dvd. Might add some arm reps at work, but i don't count those into my exercise stuff since i wouldn't know how to count the burned calories.

    Rocki21 - that's a tough one... unless you have a heart rate monitor i wouldn't know how to judge arm reps either but there is the strength training portion of the exercise counting part you shoul dat least count it even if it doesn't count to your ccalories for the day~

    Sorry I haven't been on to update. Our internet has been out for the last week. :frown:

    I weighed myself on Friday. Unfortunately, I'm only down to 145.3lbs. (It's that time of month, so I'm bloated. :embarassed: )
    Anyway, I worked out a total of 245 minutes last week. And I only drank my full water intake 4 days out of the week. I definitely need to work on that. I have to catch up now for this week, since I'm just now seeing the challenges.

    soccermum75,
    How do you work out that much lol i am amazed! If you don't me asking what do you do while exercising all that time?

    I am training for a half marathon. I run 2 short runs about 40-60 minutes and a long run 2 hours and more. I also did p90x but will have to postpone it until my half marathon in 2 weeks. I try to walk instead of taking the car. I push my 50 lbs 4 year old in the stroller to the daycare. I work part time so i do have a little bit more time than most to workout.

    well keep up the good work when i get down closer to my goal I think I'm going to try insanity and p90x I have a couple of the p90x dvds now but in some of them i don't like the yoga or whatever they do lol. I also hope you do well on your half marathon let us know how you do!

    Hi guys, sorry if I went MIA last couple of days. My half marathon is finally over. You can read about it here if you like: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/soccermum75

    I am back with a vengeance and ready to kick butts

    Rocki21 I am glad you are feeling better.

    wow i am so proud of you for finishing that race even though you ran more then you were supposed to to even get to the starting line. They should put up signs that says how far away you are from the water station this would be a huge motivator for me to get to that water station. You did awesome for the crazy day you had. Keep it up. Was this your first run ever or did you do smaller runs before this half marathon?

    I am also glad i am feeling better... only bad thing now is I gave it to my boyfriend. So now I'm taking care of him like he did for me.

    Nope, this was my first ever race. I originally signed up to do the full marathon but then I signed up the kids for their race so i switched to half marathon to be able to run with them. Boy! was I glad i only did the half. I was watching the face of the marathoners and they looked in pain. The thing is, running a race is like giving birth, you forget the pain the day after. I am already planning to run a full marathon in May.:laugh:
