I haven't received my challenge yet.

Hi FaugHorn!
My partner didn't send me a challenge either. We only have until next Monday before we get a new challenge so if you want, I'll give you a 'little' challenge and you give me one
I can't see your food diary so I will give you a workout challenge. I want you to work out your triceps this week. Do 3 sets of 8-10 reps of the following: chair dips, skull crushers and close grip push ups.
Good?0 -
Sounds good, you aimed high so I'm aiming low
1. One leg stands - 5 set of 2 to 3 reps on each leg, holding each rep for 10 to 20 seconds. Work your way up to 2 to 3 sets
2. Squats - hold for 5 seconds, and slowly raise yourself back up to a standing position. Repeat 10 times.
3. Bird dog - 10 reps (1 rep equals 5 seconds for each arm/leg pair)0 -
Faughorn! I'm going to have to google One Leg Stands (are these standing against a wall, raising 1 leg up and squatting?)
and Bird Dog.. never heard of that one! Thanks!0 -

Weekly Weigh in: Lost 2.2 lbs this week which I am quite happy with since I was off my normal routine last weekend. My challenge is complete but really was already part of my normal routine. I completed 70 minutes of strength training 3 days this week and have had at least 2 servings of fruits or veggies each day. My assigned challenge partner has been great throughout the week leaving supportive comments on various days.

I weighed in this morning at 145.5, which means I gained half a pound from last week. (I think my starting for the BL was 147, so I'm still down in weight overall).
I'm a bit annoyed, but I know that it's due to not eating healthy and eating over my calories. Booooo!
And for the challenge, I completed set 1 of my squats yesterday0 -
I'm up this week. Trying to change my calorie intake up and work out more since I'm training to run more so I sorta expected a gain until my body gets used to it...still disappointing.0
-
I'm also up...fell off the wagon a bit this week. However, I did complete my challenge of being diligent with my diary!0

Hello!!
Today is weigh-in. I guess because of the changes I have done with my food I wasn't going to see changes in me, Hopefully when I get to visit my Doc on tuesday, we can figure it out a way to boost my metabolism and change the food choices.
Weigh-in:
SW: 185lbs
Challenge Starting Weight: 178lbs
10/21/11: 176lbs
CW: 176lbs (10/28/11)
UGW: 135-140lbs
Goal Weight by January 1s: 150lb
melmccabe has been very supportive, even though the week is not done for me yet, I'll be doing some strength training tomorrow and having more non-starchy vegetables. It's hard having 2 servings per day because I cook my lunch after I get home from the gym and about to go to bed, so I'll try to compensate that by adding those 2 servings at lunch and dinner this weekend.
Hope you all get to have a wonderful weekend.0 -
i didn't get to weigh in yesterday because i didn't go to work (i use a co-worker's scale she has in her office)
i will do it first thing monday morning.
i had an ok week. although i have a cold, i worked out 3 of 5 days and i will go tomorrow. I completed my challenge from Faughorn.
i was pretty excited yesterday. i had a bit of time before leaving for work and decided to try a few pair of jeans/dress pants i had tucked in my closet and most of them fit! size 11-10, about 4 pair! i coudn't get the size 8-9 past my hips. i'm ok with that, i'm on my way! i don't recall fitting in size 8s. ever. would'nt it be great! wow! a nice xmas gift for sure!0 -
Blah. This week has been a bust... I'm just... ugh. I've been eating really badly, making terrible choices and not exercising. Today I started a 2 day water cleanse to get me back where I need to be (no need to worry... I'm not going to stave, fall into starvation mode or die from not eating for 2 days... believe me... my body is carrying more than enough jiggly fuel to carry my through) and then it's back to the pool every AM and the gym every afternoon!

Great job!
I finished my squats yesterday and have decided I'm going to try to keep doing them every other day when I remember! It's one of those easy exercises to do when I'm standing around. Sets of 15 are quick and easy to do and will hopefully make me better at them so I hate them less0 -
