Never going to give up !!!!! challenge

Happy Tuesday!

Haven't checked in much which I apologize for.

I stepped up my biking last week for another challenge and ended up riding/walking 143 miles. I have been better about getting in some strength building each day. This week, I have to do burpees, push ups and crunches for my other challenge so plenty of work there! I also did the butterfly kicks yesterday. So what's our next mini challnge?

On the nutrtion front, I tried cooking a few things-kind of flopped but what's new. I have been trying to have some fruit or veggie with each meal as well. Staying in the green on calories and been drinking more water (part of the team challenge so extra incentive).

My big change (and granted it has only been a day) is that I put the scale in the utility room. It was a bizarre this morning when I was getting ready to shower and there was no scale to grab. I felt at a loss. I figure I need to break this habit since the numbers have not been moving which just was ticking me off each day. Guess we'll see what happens tomorrow!

Hope everyone had a great day and gook luck with all of your goals! Hope February is a great month!

Hello ladies

I'm in for donkey kicks tomorrow, thanks Clover. You are having a lot of snow aren't you, we had some on Saturday but its all melted and gone again now.

Wow Hawkeyegal, you do so much exercise, I don't know how you have the time or the energy!

Lstnlondry, hope the dentist goes well.

Todays goals - finished under cals unless I go crazy this evening. Workout done this morning and a little walking done too. C25K continues tomorrow.

Lstnlondry- hope you get all your teeth good and strong! 4 days ouch! I will be thinking of you for sure!

Hawkeye- that is intense workouts missy! Great job! I couldn't live without my scale but I do understand your situation! You will tone up and before you know it lose the weight you want! Those last couple are surely the hardest and most stubborn!

Clover- Donkey kicks it is for Wednesday! You're welcome and thank you!

ELIMAY WHERE ARE YOU?????? MISS YOU VERY MUCH!

Sammy- I did week5 day 1 worried about Fridays workout though :0/

As for me....I have been super busy and my oldest daughter 7 is sick :0( so I have not had time to really write but I have been steady working out and sticking to diet! Reached my Valentine's day goal early! Can't believe the scale these days just keeps moving down. It gives me such motivation to keep pushing hard! Doing well with C25K but extremely worried about this Fridays workout ....we shall see what happens! Also, I started Zumba its freaking awesome and I love it! It gets me all fired up and pumped for the day! On a personal note my baby girl started rice and is now using her jumper so stinking cute! Life's gift is being a mother to three beautiful girls and having such an amazing Husband who is truly my best friend!

Goodnight All and yo All a goodnight!

Hello friends,

Goals: log calories and budget -yes, exercise no, strength no, housework yes, procrastination list no.

So much dental activity going on. I took my daughter to the dentist this morning to have two teeth extracted as part of her orthodontic treatment. I sat by the chair and held her hands the whole time.

Time for me to go exercise, so I don't mess another day. Oh, and Penny, I love seeing all the pictures of your little babe.

DeeBear, where are you?

Good morning
Glad to see you back Elimay.
Goal: log and budget - yes, aerobic exercise - yes, strength - yes, housework - yes, procrastination list - no.
Donkey kicks yes.

Mini Challenge for friday: 50 push-ups. Don't be scared, these can be any style like standing wall push-ups, table, modified, full body. Chose a style that matches your strength and ability.

Have a wonderful Thursday.

I'm back you beautiful people. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Have had a few days where I don't feel like talking. (I know that is a hard one to believe). Occasionally I get that way. I have been following all of you though. WOWWY, ZOWY you all are rocking the house. Dang I am so proud of all of you. You all have helped me get through this slump. You make me smile.
Anywho Penny what can I say WOW girl you are amazing. Keep up the GREAT work. And that baby is so precious. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Sammy YOU GO GIRL! I really would love to sit and visit with you some day. You are doing so well.
Hawkeye girl do you ever have any ME time. You are such a caring giving person. Love you.
Clover5 looks like you have as much snow as we have and more on the way. I don't shovel much anymore. You are AMAZING!!! I remember the days of orthodonture so well. UGH what our poor children have to go through to be beautiful.
lstnlondry I HATE DENTISTS. I have not been for 2 years. They make we sweaty! I have so much admiration for you.
Elimay Miss you girl. Hope all is well with your sister.
Anywho I have been drinking my water.
I have been staying under calories.
I have been exercising 30 minutes every day.
And I have missed all of you terribly.
I am signing off for tonight but will talk to you all tomorrow.
HEY where is kerryannk? I have really missed her also. Has anyone heard from her? Hope all is well with her.
Love all of you guys.

Good morning

Goal check: log and budget - yes, aerobic exercise - yes, strength - no, housework - yes , procrastination list - yes - emptied and cleaned the refrigerator. I always do this in the winter when I can just put everything in laundry baskets and put it outside in the back yard. DeeBear, you are doing great. Glad you are feeling better. Elimay and Istnlondry good luck at the dentist. Hate having dental work done. Makes me feel lousy about myself when I need major work.
