I will do butterfly kicks dont know what they are but will look them up
See you all tommorow :bigsmile: 0 -
Great job Elimay!!
Happy New Week challengers!
Goals are to
Stay at calorie goal
Burn 1000 calories most days
Focus more on me/house/procrastination list
Today I ate a bit over only because I had a good workout
I burned just under 1000 calories
I am stilll working on this procrastination list but things are coming along!! Dreaded dentist appointment tomorrow but this challenge reminds me to stick to my goals-any of them!!
Here's to a relaxing Monday night!0 -
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!0 -
Good morning all
Goal check:
Water - 5 glasses a day - yes plus 1

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.0 -
Well my dentist appointment went so well I will be going back for the next 3 days! (don't ask) The good news is that I went there and that was huge!
Goals are this week are to
Stay at calorie goal
Burn 1000 calories most days
Focus more on me/house/procrastination list
1. Today I had the option of throwing away the day (not logging) as I stuffed my face with chocolate chip cookies that I made for my kids. (yeah, right) But the good news is that I hit the gym and "bought" more calories so I could eat dinner!!
2. I burned just under 1000 calories today
3. went to the dentist & folded laundry & put it away!!
Happy Tuesday night yal, I'm hitting the shower!!
Elimay!! You doing alright?0 -
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!0 -
Morning gang!
I am tired already....burning the candle at both ends right now with trying to work out and run all over the state for work. I want to win on the other challenge so I am pushing myself to cover as much of the burpees, crunches and push ups as possible for those that can't get them done. Glad it is only for one week as my body is sore right now. I will add the donkey kicks to tonight's drill when I am finally home.
Made it another day without the scale but My brain is screaming at me that I probably gained 5 pounds since I have't checked since Monday.
Lstnlondry-you have my admiration for going to the dentist....that is one of my phobias so I refuse to go.
Sammy and Penny-awesome job on the C25K work! Keep it up. I'm jealous. I saw a fun looking 5K and was wondering if I could train for that...honestly I am not sure how my knees would do (or where I would find the time to add more training into my schedule right now).
Keep up the great work everyone and have an awesome day!0 -
Hello friends,

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.0 -
Happy Friday everyone!
Just made it home from work-started the day at 6 AM and drove about 600 miles for meetings! Needless to say, my diet sucked for the day!
I did get in the push ups for the day as part of my other challenge. For the week I have done 485 push ups, 1150 crunches and 230 burpees. My legs are sore so I am skipping my evening work out and am going to relax. Hopefully tomorrow I can pick it back up.
Hope everyone survived their day in the dentist chair!
Have a great weekend!0 -
I survived whew that was stressfull. I felt sorry for my self the rest of the day and self medicated with food :grumble: Oh well so i will work hard to get all goals tommorow ,even water !!!!!!!

I've just done my Wii workout for the morning, plan to walk to the shops in a little while (about an hour there and back) and then I shall do C25K later. Among all this I have the housework to do, so busy day.
Good work everyone - keep it up!!0 -
GOOD MORNING NEVER GIVE UP CHALLENGERS!!! YAY it is the weekend. However I have to work this morning. Then I am going to the movie "Extremely loud, incredibly close" or something like that with Tom Hanks. I simply love that man!!! Will probably have to indulge in some popcorn!!!

Hey sammy good job on workout0 -
Good morning friends
Goal check:
log calories - yes
in budget - no - I was well over calories yesterday. I ususlly blame "something in the water," but must be because of global warming since many of us had problem yesterday.
aerobic exercise - yes - walk dog
strength - yes - I found a no crunch ab and arm routine that I did while watching TV last night.
housework - no -weekends off
procrastination list - no
Penny hope you are well soon. Jack knife Monday is ok.
I'm back to wearing my pedometer again and joined a step count group. I don't record any exercise in my diary for it. I consider it part of my basal metabolism, but it seems to make a difference in my results.0 -
What exercise equipment do you have at home?
I have dumbbells - 3,5,8 lb sets, ankle weights, jump rope, dvd's, and treadmill.0 -
Jack knife?? Will have to google that in a minute.
Have felt a bit crap today, my weight has gone back to what I started at. But I've tried to not let it bother me too much, I've exercised today and eaten well (mostly). Feel lethargic and bloated tonight, can't wait to go to bed and start all over again tomorrow.
Goals
exercised - yes
under cals- yes
C25K - yes - I repeated Week 5 Day 2 and found it much less of a struggle. That session was 2 lots of 8 minutes running, the next session is running for 20 minutes with no break. Dreading it!!
Clover - I have dumbbells, resistance band, ankle weights. I mainly use the Wii, I have a few fitness games - Sports Active 2, My Fitness Coach and Zumba. Sports Active is my favourite as I get a different workout every day and it really pushes me. What do you enjoy doing the most, apart from shovelling snow!!0
