Operation: Sexy Claus Challenge Week #1 9.19.11 (Closed Grou

Krys_T, I'd really like to join this and I hope it isnt too late.

Hi everyone! Happy Monday!

I was looking at my schedule and my first day coming straight home after work will be thursday so this should make for an interesting week!

Monday: Zumba 45 min
Tuesday: HipHop Ab's DVD
Wednesday Zumba
Thursday: May try P90x or either hip hop abs?
Friday: 100 situps, 50 push ups, squats, etc (45 min)
Saturday: Will be at a 2 yr olds birthday outside, so I will get exercise playing w/ them etc.
Sunday: rest

I will weigh and put my measurements in tmr. I pulled my arm/shoulder muscle getting into my fiance's truck. Bummer it hurts pretty bad so I am going to have to put 30 Day Shred on hold a few days while I heal the arm. Literally hurts to type at work which is just WONDERFUL since I type all day lol.

Since I hit this temporary bump in the road I think I will dust off my Leslie Sansone DVD and do some walking:

Monday- (not sure if I will get to tonight since I may go to the doctor to see if I can get a muscle relaxer) I would like to do 2 miles
Tuesday- 5 mile DVD
Wed- 2 Mile DVD
Thursday (BABY NEPHEW WILL BE BORN TODAY)- Quick 1 Mile DVD so I can go meet him after work
Friday- 2 Mile DVD
Saturday- 5 Mile DVD
Sunday- Apple/pumpkin picking with the family (plenty of walking through the fields)

Hopefully next week I can get back on track with Shredding!

I'm really thrilled to be a part of this challenge, and to get to know you ladies better over the next few months. I know we can all hit are targets as long as we stay focused on our goals. Okay, so I thought I was starting at 216, but thankfully as of yesterday (had to work today and couldn't get on scale), I was 214.2. Yay me!

Since I work 13 hour days, 3 days a week, I'll only be doing my 30 Day Shred on those days. On my off days, I'll throw in another activity to keep things interesting. So here's my schedule for the week:

Mon: 30DS (Day 5 Level 1)
Tues: 30DS (D6L1)
Wed: 30DS (D7L1); Turbo Jam Fat Blaster
Thurs: 30DS (D8L1)
Fri: 30DS (D9L1); Zumba
Sat: 30DS (D10L1); Turbo Jam Fat Blaster
Sun: 30DS (D11L2); Zumba


Special shout-out to Krystle for putting this challenge together...and I am loving that google spreadsheet! So cute, and creative, and I love that it documents everything automatically...big time saver (and very smart) on your end, I'm sure.

It's on ladies, let's get this thing done!!! :bigsmile:

well this week I am traveling to visit my LDR boyfriend yeah! so my excercise schedule will be a bit off. I plan to do finning (water upper & lower body class) on Monday and hopefully can fit in yoga/weights weds. Other than that I plan a lot of walking around NYC and dancing a bunch at a wedding...those count right? at least I am going to Hope everyone has a great week!

Good morning Ladies!! Thank you Krys :0) ... will fill-in later off to my uncle's funeral

Chynadoll00... Best wishes!!

Krys... I love the layout of the measurement and weight page. It's so festive!

Q. What's on your agenda this week as it pertains to exercise? Have you thought about it? If not, let's post our schedule for this week on what we are going to do.

A. Walking... looots of walking. I still need to get more groceries, and it's a pain every time because nothing is close to me. Even to take the bus I gotta walk. I was doing the Shred, but my school schedule is really busy, so it's hard to plan that in. I want to use my stationary bike ONCE this week, at least, and also Belly Dance again.
Mon - walked!
Tue - Walk
Wed - Bike, Shred?
Thu - Belly Dance, Shred?
Fri - Bike/BD/Shred?
Sat - Walk
Sun - Walk
Something like that!

Ok, honestly, I don't have a schedule this week. I am SO overwhelmed with full time grad school and two jobs. So I am mostly concentrating on my eating this week and just trying to do a little extra walking here and there. :ohwell:

My starting weight for this challenge is 217. , which is up 3 pounds from last week. I am thinking that it has alot to do with water retention. I havent ate the greatest the past couple of weeks. So I am started fresh today. My schedule for this week on exercise is going to be 30 Day Shred. I plan on doing this for the 30 days straight so lets see how this goes. I am also planning on walking whenever the weather permits it.

Thanks Krys_T for another Challenge.

Question of the Day:

In your weight loss journey, thus far, what do you feel is the most important thing that you have learned?

I've learned that for me my weight loss has given me a lot more confidence and I realize that the support I get from my friend on MFP has help thus far. I feel that I'm letting them down if I eat bad or don't work out. I've also learned that drinking lot of water and giving up soda was very important for me. I've noticed since I only drink water, green tea and milk my stomach has gone down a great deal with lot of cardio. I've also learned that I'm not a diet this is a life long process and a life style change and that it's not always easy to undo years of bad habits. But I"m getting there.

As far as my workout goes I did 30day shred level one and Turbo jam and burned 625 calories. I hate that I can only work out at the end of the day becuz I often end up with a lot of calories left that I need to eat back. But I felt really good after my workout and was dripping in sweat...Day one over!!!
