Hey LADIES!!!!! How was week three? I absolutely loved it! (mostly because I actually LOST weight) I’m so excited about this challenge!!! We’re ALMOST TO THE FINISH LINE!!! I appreciate those of you who have stuck to it!!! I appreciate it!!!!!

A couple of things to remember:

This is not your regular workout, this is a CHALLENGE. Everything I challenge you to is EXTRA.

We’re gonna try something different. Keep up with your weight loss for the month and at the end I’ll have everyone message me the final numbers.

DRINK YOUR WATER. You are supposed to have 64oz EVERY DAY! Water retention is gonna kill your numbers on the scale.

STAY UNDER your calorie goal!!! This is one month straight of doing it the RIGHT way with no cheat days. YOU CAN DO THIS.

If for any reason you are unable to do the challenges because of health or physical reasons (NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE LAZY) then you can modify. Just remember you’re stronger than you think so make the challenge GOOD!

The team challenge this week is to reach 500 ab crunches PER person. The ones included in the challenge WILL count towards your 500!

I have posted the links to fitnessmagazine.com to get you familiar with the challenges for this week!

Here’s to week four pretty ladies!!!!

    Update: Got my 2 miles in today ;) The perks of being able to go to the gym and workout when my clients are on the cardio machines. I am a case worker for adults with developmental disabilities, and a few of my clients have the goal of working out so I get to help them with that.

    Hi all, feeling under the weather and so I am not going to push myself as hard as I normally would. I am going to focus on the calorie intake and just keeping active and getting better. Yesterday (Monday) I slept from 7pm until this morning, so didn't get oo much accomplished. Today I did level 1 30DS and half of the challenges. I stayed under my calories and drank all my water though! Good luck this week ladies :)

    9. Tiffany ~ I commit to keeping under my calorie goal, drinking all my water, exercising every day and trying to do all of the challenges. I feel really sick this week so far and don't want to make a promise I cannot keep!

    Awesome Job Buddy!!!! I am so sorry I was not here for you 'virtually for the past two days', but hopefully after today everything will start to slow down!!! But I hope everyone is hanging in there!! I am actually doing great.. beside my challenge I think I overdid it with my squats yesterday and am having a hard time walking up the stairs.. (It really looks like someone stuck something up 'there' LOL) But other than that I am fine!!! How is everyone else doing?!!!

    I've had a couple of crazy weeks (death in the family, business growing faster than I know how to keep up with, and preparing for a move next week). I've stayed under my calorie goals every day. I haven't been keeping up with the challenges though. I'll be honest, sometimes after teaching 6 or 7 hours of dance, I just don't feel like working out. I've still been losing weight, but I really want to do a better job of getting these workouts in.

    Sorry for the death in your family Shelley. I'll be praying for you and your family.

    I've completed some of the challenges for this week but not all. My scale says it needs a new battery so I'll have to take care of that soon to see where I'm at. Next week will be a better week. I hope you all have a great Friday!

    Hello ladies!

    So this week has been quite trying to say the very least! I started off bad because Saturday and Sunday I went to visit a friend out of town and got roped into delicious things like splitting a giant cupcake and eating street food. And while I did this in moderation, I still feel like I failed and I know I had to be over in calories. I did however go hiking last Saturday!

    I felt sick almost all week. I broke out in rashy hives on my calves last Friday night. I actually think it is exercise related :/ It is either a bad reaction to sweat or I was looking up some stuff and it might be the actual increase in activity after living a sedentary lifestyle so long! Apparently your body can have issues with blood circulation or what not... No matter what the cause, my legs itch and are still disgusting. Has anyone had issues with this or itching in the thighs from walking? At first I thought it was chaffing but it's also in areas with no clothes/contact.

    So now that I have shared TMI... I also fell off the wagon on a day when I was particularly homesick and wiped out half a (small) jar of Nutella by itself... I really need to pull it together!! Does anyone else seem to self sabotage after a couple of weeks? I know I do this and so I hope that being in this group will help me get past this hurdle that has made me stumble so many times before.

    I hope everyone else has been having a better go at it :)

    ~Tiffany

    Hey all! I hope you're having a good start to your weekend. I was up at 6AM doing my workout and now I have to hit the books and get my homework done! Then I have a wedding to go to later. It never ends.

    Don't beat yourselves up for things that are out of your control. Make the best of the situation and find healthy ways to relieve stress. Have a great weekend!

    Thanks Tiffany. Yeah we just got home... She is eating soup right now. I am just glad she is eating.. Working in the hospital ER I see parents all the time come in with their children and they don't leave with them.. :( I am just glad that she is home now and that we got her there before her body seized or anything... So I didn't go to church today (my parents are pastors and my husband and I are musicians). I am home monitoring her.. Luckily her temperature dropped and she is even asking me to color.... Still a little tired but that is to be expected after the day we had yesterday.. Thanks everyone for your support. Side Bar: I am not going to weigh myself this Monday. i am going to wait until next Monday... its that TOM and I don't want to get on the scale and get discouraged... Cause although I have been under my calories they haven't been the best type of calories.. :( (i.e. 100 calorie striped fudge cookies, Skinny cow chocolate ice cream, hershey kisses ... sigh... So Tiff I understand about the every couple of weeks self sabbotage thing! I think they call it a PERIOD!!! LOL
