    So i was wondering if moving counts as working out? I know that might sound crazy but im packing up a two story house by myself plus moving the furniture and boxes from one house to the other and its' about 96 out and im sweating none stop and feel worn out so since my heart rate is up and im sweating to death could i count all this as working out????

    Oh for sure :drinker: log your moving for working out girl!! Just checked, there is an option under exercise for moving, just go under the cardio section, and acorrding to the site, even if its just an hour, looks like your burning some major calories :drinker: :drinker:

    MOVING is HARD WORK... and cardio... too bad you arent wearing a HRM...


    today I ate within my calories.... drank my water..... and did 60 minute spin class...wasnt that into though today so i only burned 450 cal. I hope to see the payoff on the scale. but i'm not going to hold my breathe! Great thursday for everyone---last day work out before friday :wink:

    I've been thinking of buying a HRM but never know what brand and do they really work... I'm going to start logging in my move into the cardio area since i will be moving from now until july 2nd... we have alot of crap to move and organize !!! but at least it's burning calories :happy:

    Tammietifanie: heck yes moving counts... OMG i did that 2 weekend ago and WHEW, i was seriously worn out from the lifting, moving, carrying packing and unpacking... trust me, you are like working out all day.

    I cant believe we are starting the end of the May challenge tomorrow...

    Who wants to continue on with a june challenge? I will start it up mid next week if anyone is interested... What are some ideas to help keep people motivated? I feel we lost A LOT of people...

    Tomorrow is weigh in! I will post the new thread in a bit...

    Yeah i've been starting to pack up and since my boyfriend is a marine he is never home so im left doing most of it plus taking care of three kids im running around like a chicken with it's head cut off :laugh: i started tracking how many hours im putting in each day towards the move... i didn't even realize how many calories i was burning... wow!!!!

    I would love to do a june challenge here are a few ideas i was thinking off

    * Healthy eating every one logs in what they have had for the day/week
    * Any Dvd's that we can maybe all do together and log in our thoughts and progress with the dvd...
    * To add to the crunches maybe log in how many Reps we are doing for arm work outs, leg lifts, squats so on...


    Just a few ideas

    Looking forward to week 4 - the final leg.

    Keep crunchin.

    I can't believe I forgot to weight myself begfore I came to work!!! Ugh!!!! I don't know that I want to see it anyway. I've had to go to lunch almost every day this week. We moved into a new office and the refridgerator and microwave are not here yet. PB&J just would not cut it all week! I will weight in when I get home and try to post tonight. I hate weighing in at night. Great job to everyone this week!!!

    I will be adding my info later tonight after work. But I worry. Last night, I ate lots and lots because my day was so busy I didn't eat the meals I had prepared. Argh.

    My tummy is very sore, though, from all the crunches.

    SW 5/1: 167
    CW 5/22: 166.8 (hehehe.... down .2 so I had to put it!)
    GW 5/31: 163

    I have been relatively good with food and water, but still not sticking to the exercise. I actually don't have to work today (but have an interview in a half hour), so I'm planning on getting in some exercise today. I'm also going to a wedding tonight and will be on the dance floor! :wink:

    yesterday i weighed myself (i couldn't wait) and i was down to 154 (another pound!) but this morning i was back to 155 :grumble: I guess i overindulged last night when we went out to dinner at our favorite Mexican place....

    I agree that we also need a June Challenge! I need to keep my butt on track! I like the idea of everyone doing the same workout video. A friend burned me a copy of the 30 Day Shred and I haven't taken the plunge and tried it out yet.

    I hope i can get on track for the final week and meet my goal!

    My body does not want to lose weight! GRRRR i am dangling around 117 every week! BOOOOOO

    so, that means I up my calories a bit with healthy things and really work on the cardio, sometimes your body gets used to the same routine! Maybe I will focus on that this week too.... GEEZ!

    I am definately aiming for my July goal because that is the target for me to hit my wedding weight!
