    You lot are hardcore, i dont have the time nevermind energy to fit in all this! Between full time work and full time study i try and fit my workouts in before work in the morning! Maybe i was kidding myself into thinking i could do this when i first joined the group! 8-|

    I didnt even get near the amount targeted...... and feel a little ashamed to be considered in the same group of all of you!

    Clairabell!!!! You can do it!!! Don't get discouraged! Every little bit that you do helps!!

    I did half of the exercise on my lunch break today. I'll have to finish it tonight. I'm sorry if that is cheating... I was pressed for time today. Just to be clear, Is it 80 total of each that we should do? Thanks!

    I did my challenge yesterday. I held a plank for 1 minute. Is that a good time?? Has anyone else tried it? If so, would you mind sharing your time? It was really difficult for me to stay for that long. I want to improve my time this week.

    Yes I've done it! I try to do at least a minute then hold it till I fall and not time the rest. I want to get up to at least 2 minutes. I've done it before but thats was when I was doing planks more often! You can try side planks as well I find those harder to stay balance but you can definatly feel them! :happy:

    I have been a bad girl this week! :( I only did the challenge Tuesday and Thursday. I also did some late night snacking the past two days! I'm going camping with a group of friends this weekend, and I don't know how I'll be able to work the challenge in, and I don't know how I'm going to be good with food. I'll try, but it's going to be hard!! Hope everyone else is having a better week! :P

    Great job everyone! You guys are rockin'! :) Well, I stayed the same this week. I was stressed early this week because my hubby had an interview 3 hours from here and did get the job and now we need to move. The hardest is to start and uproot all of the kids and us. We live 2 seconds from my parents and are very close to them. So, the stress played apart in my weigh in today.

    Week 1...200
    Week 2...196
    Week 3...195
    Week 4....195 :(

    So, to alleviate some stress this morning, I'm hitting a Zumba class! :)

    Good luck everyone on your weigh ins!!

    Alright! On to the next challenge!

    This week is all about distance. All you have to do is walk, run, spin, bike, jog, fly anything.... Just keep track of your miles traveled! I don't know about you guys but this week is going to be busy with all the Turkey festivities not to mention my gym will be closed a couple of days. So I thought a mile challenge would be easy to fit in! Good look and Happy holidays!

    No change in measurements for me this week. I didn't get on the scale this morning, and I honestly don't want to for the rest of the week. It's my TOM and I'm sure I'm up. I didn't do as bad as I normally do for thanksgiving! I didn't run as many miles as I'd hoped, but I still got a good bit done considering all of the traveling I had to do. So, here are my results:

    Mon 11/21- 6.2 miles running at 5.2mph
    Tue 11/22- 5.82 miles running at 5 mph; 10 miles stationary bike at 20 mph
    Wed 11/23- 0 miles
    Thurs 11/24- 3.1 miles running at 6mph
    Fri 11/25- 0 miles
    Sat 11/26 4.2 miles running at 5mph; 1.55 miles walking
    Sun 11/27 2.11 miles running at 5mph

    Total 32.98 miles
