Skinny Mini Challenge WEEK FOUR (Closed Group)

Ok. we need another team challenge where we must post something daily! I miss you guys, I had a great Thursday. Jogged for 3.1 miles, ran in the rain for 8 minutes at an incredibly fast speed and walked the dog... now it's time for 30 DS and some challenge workouts... hope to "hear" from you ladies soon...

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.

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

Hi everyone, Just got home with my daughter.. She had a fever of 103.6. Her body was so hot. I was so emotional over it which I hate (That TOM) My hubby and I rushed her to the emergency room! Excercises out the window! Just being honest! I will be working out tomorrow... and get back on track!

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

Completed all of the challenges for this week. Did 500 crunches/situps this week, but I'll probably do more today. I'll post if I do

I'm looking forward to week 5! The last couple weeks have been kinda down for me with various family things going on and with school work. Plus, I will be getting my period this week and the week before is always tough for me with feeling blah and I get lots of cravings. I haven't lost any weight recently but I have positive feelings about this week. I will be making more time in the mornings to get the challenges done, plus I have Wednesday off of work and plan to do a huge workout that day. Even if I don't reach my goal weight by the end of the month, I am getting closer to my final goal (which I plan on reaching by the end of December). I wish all you ladies the best with this last week of the Skinny Mini Challenge!
