    Sorry they are on the 30 Day shred. Lie flat on your front and then slowly (at the same time) lift your legs and arms up (it tones your abs, thighs and butt xxx

    im glad your finding the no eating after 7 difficult it means your more awear of what your putting into your bodies...

    Just ran 3 miles and did the challenge. :sick: At this rate, my legs are gonna be awesome by December :)
    Speaking of, since we all want awesome legs and butt by Christmas, has anyone tried Killer Buns and Thighs? It's Jillian's new video and it's supposed to be amazing! So that could be something we could incorporate into our workouts if everyone's up for it.... I'm gonna try to add it to my workout 3x a week and see how it goes...

    Just checking in...I am doing good with the not eating after 7:00 part of the challenge...as far as the mini challenges, that is another story. I find it challenging to fit in ANY exercise in my day since I leave for work around 6:15 a.m. and arrive home around 6:15 p.m. I have definitely been keeping up with what I normally do - zumba at the gym some days, walking or using my exercise bike every other day. I have been TRYING to do the daily challenges, and I really want to push myself with this Christmas challenge, but I'll be honest - I am not gung ho with the exercise. Last night, I did the jumping jacks and lunges, then rode my exercise bike. I was planning on doing the superwomans after that, but it was getting late and I just wanted to relax for awhie before bed.

    I know, I know - I am whining. :sad: I will try my best to do today's mini challenge, but again, it is going to be difficult. My son and his girlfriend are coming over for dinner, and by the time we visit for awhile and they leave, I'll be in the same boat again when I will squeeze in some exercise, but probably not my "usual" PLUS all the things listed in the challenge. I don't think it is unreasonable to want to relax and read the paper or watch a little TV.

    Sorry guys - I don't want to be a slacker, but I just wanted to share where I am at with this. Congrats to all of you who are still so very enthusiastic. :flowerforyou: Although, has anyone else noticed that there seem to be quite a few members of our challenge who aren't around on the forum?

    Have a great day everyone!!

    I love this board...I think we have a great group. I have made alot of modifications to my routine and eating habits this week. I am both apprehensive and excited to get on the scales Friday. I will be so sad if I do not drop anything this wee (like last week). But excited to think of the possibilities. So, I hope everyone does great tomorrow and here's to possibilities and potential! :)
