Hey guys how is everyone? You all seem to be doing well.. Thank you to the people who post an update each and every day, to the ones who don't, if you could try to get an update in each day that would be awesome. If not we understand.. lifes busy sometimes :)

Anyway week two is upon us... weigh in is upon us.. I'd like everyone to weigh in tomorrow please (monday) and then post you're weight and loss on here.

Also our weekly challenges will be different as of tomorrow

Nic1976 has decided them this week and they will be:

50 jumping jacks
50 lunges
50 squats

any questions about these exercises should be directed to her :)

So everyone enjoy your hourly walk. If something is preventing you from walking (pouring rains/lightening storms/floods/hurricanes etc) please feel free to substitute it with an hour of some other kid of exercise of equal or higher intensity. I had to do it myself a couple of times this week.

Keep up the good work!! :)

    Today can bite me, worst day at work ever - BUT I have a week holiday next week, and I have done my excersise already today so means tonight can be spent doing housework!
    Didnt get to stop for lunch, and as I didnt have anything here (Had planned to buy a subway salad) I was scabbing in the cupboards for whatever I could find and will replace tomorrow.

    hey guys i might be a little slack in the next few days... just started my new job and doing those lunges and squats last night really screwed me since all day today i had to squat and kneel on the floor for 7 hours while grinding metal in the ground.. im in serious pain right now and dont want to push it in case i have to do the same thing tomorrow.. i did 25 mins walk today and will do some sit ups in place of mini challenges.. Hopefully within a week or so i should be used to it a little more and can do the mini challenges.. i still will get the walk in since i'll be walking to and from work.. i just gotta take it a bit easy on the leg work for a bit lol A couple of times today i was kneeling and trying to push at the ground with the grinder at the same time.. the way i was hunched over was putting enormous pressure on my leg muscle and both my legs began to quiver so much i had to stop because i was embarassed others could see hahahaha.. i'll get there though.

    sounds interesting! my dad worked at the shipbuilders for about 25 years. i got to go and nose round one of their submarines once, was very cool.

    no walk yesterday, i was scared off by the horrendous weather. after lunch we're going out with the small people as it's sunny today and the boy is poxy and can't go to school. not sure how far i can drag him but will try for an hour!

    Lol any wonder you are aching!! If you have a bath I find that a long soak helps ease the muscle aches :)

    As for me - relatively on track. Dreading next week, having surgery on my toe Tuesday and going to be on crutches - imagine the calories I will burn lugging my heffalump self around on those LOL!!!
    I am loving daylight savings, it is so much easier to go for a walk once we finally get home as it is still light. Ned-dog loves his time with mum too and it's wearing him out so he isnt as jumpy which is good.

    Just finished another small walk and this time I carried weights, so I was doing various arm lifts as I went - luckily we live on a farm so I did this walk around the paddock otherwise I think I would have looked majorly stupid!

    Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on here much this week...work has been so busy with lots of long hours :(

    I've still managed to get in my hour walking each day but that's about it...not many mini challenges. Don't think this has been a very good week for me!

    How is everyone else doing?
