It's time for a new week!
Here are the challenges I came up with. They're mostly general, but it has us doing something every day. We can change some things if you guys really don't like doing something.
WEEK 3
Day 1: 50 Jumping Jacks, 1 minute of Punches, 50 Squats, 50 Lunges, 100 Crunches
Day 2: 30 Tricep Kickbacks, 3-sets of 21’s, 30 Chest Flys, 2 minutes of the Plank (you don’t have to hold it for two minutes straight, just two minutes total), 50 pushups (modified if necessary)
Day 3: 1 minute Jump Rope (if you don’t own one, just pretend), 1 minute Punches, 50 Squats, 50 Lunges, 100 Crunches
Day 4: Today is all about strength. Get 30 minutes of strength training in. You can use some exercises from Day 2, or do some that you love.
Day 5: Do at least 30 minutes of cardio.
Day 6/7: Try and burn as many calories if you can. If you’re like me, and like having a day off, take a day off! We’ll try and figure something out for next week (if someone wants to take the reigns and design a program for next week, I'm all for it!)
WEEKLY CHALLENGE:
On your MFP food diary, every day, stay UNDER your allotted goal (i.e. in the green) for calories, fat, carbs, sodium, etc. , but try and HIT or GO OVER in fibre and protein. It’s gonna be tough, but I think it’s a good motivator. I personally have a hard time getting my fibre and staying under in carbs.
We can do it! I'm going to update the Google Doc to support this. Basically every time you do the daily exercises, you get a point. Every time you stay within your food allotments, you get another point! Yay!
Also, if anyone wants to issue a challenge for the whole team for the week, go for it! We should push each other!

sounds great however its hard me for to stay with the my alotted goal for sugar. If I eat a more than a piece of fruit im usually over. Any suggestions?0
-
To be honest, I've stopped tracked sugar because I don't think it's realistic. It doesn't differentiate between "good" sugars and "bad" sugars. That would be my only suggestion. Just be aware of it without actually tracking it.0
-
I'M READY!!! I'm working all week so this might be a bit of a challenge schedule wise. I have to pick up my kids at various places at various times this week too. But, I will do this!!! I'm not sure I can do 50 pushups in one day so, I'll probably spread those out over the week.0

Looks good!0
-
OMG!!! I got in 30 minutes on the elliptical and when I got home, my daughter's drama has totally sucked me of my energy. WHY???0
-
I totally get it. I had no energy to do anything tonight either but I did. Congrats on getting some done, despite being unmotivated! That's the hardest thing to do!0

Day 1: 50 Jumping Jacks, 1 minute of Punches, 50 Squats, 50 Lunges, 100 Crunches--completed0

yesterday was not a good day
But today I'm back on track and looking forward to the exercise challenge!0 -
I feel like I'm failing at our challenge this week. I have been to the gym running my heart out on the elliptical. I've been really pushing myself at the gym too. I'm doing a pretty good job on my calories too, it's just not showing in our challenges. I'm sorry.
I am excited to say that I have a new accountability partner here at home. She's awesome and I see her a couple times a week. We have pledged to report our workouts to each other everyday. We started last week and I lost 2 pounds! So, I think between you guys and her, I'm going to be a thinner person really soon.
You guys rock!!! I'm so glad I've got you guys! Thanks for being there on this journey with me!0 -
that's awesome! having someone to keep you accountable is so important0
-
I want to thank you all for doing this with me too! The rest of the week will be uneventful for me: I've bruised my tailbone pretty badly, so I've decided to lay off the exercising until it gets better... this isn't the first time it's happened and now it keeps getting worse.
The second I'm better I'll get back into it! I don't want to let you ladies down!0 -
Hadnt really been doing the challenge for the past few days but I did it today. Today I have burned over 1000 calories. Might do the 30DS one more time before the day is over.0
-
Ok ladies I NEED HELP!!! I feel like I'm losing and gaining the same two pounds. ERR...
I was wondering if you could help motivate me. I really would like to lose 20 pounds by my husband's cousin's wedding in February. I think it is doable but this recording everything and being meticulous is getting to me. BUT I know it's the only way I'll lose. I'm just blah.0 -
Hi ladies,
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to come up with challenge exercises this week (I know it's late in the week, but I've been at the hospital all day).
I just got out of surgery (well... a couple hours ago). Turns out my "bruised tailbone" was a cyst so I had to deal with that and I must go back to the hospital tomorrow morning for follow up.
If someone could take the lead for this week, it would be greatly appreciated!
Miss you all!

What about doing something really easy this week.
How about making sure we get 10 miles walk/run this week.0 -
Easy would probably be good... bleh.0
-
I can't promise I will contribute... but that sounds good to me!0
