    My apologies ladies for not updating - I'm all over these challenges this week!

    Did my burpies in my lunch break! Going for a walk tonight straight after work and have actually started a detox today.

    Breakfast consisted of blueberries, raspberries and spinach all blended
    Lunch - sausage casserole with brown rice
    Dinner - detox soup (basically just veggies blended together :P )

    Will be easy for me to stay under sodium this week as I will be detoxing :)

    Good luck everyone!

    Tonya sent me a message letting us know that we only need to do 60 burpees each or 10 a day.

    Hi Ladies! I'm back! The moving is done, and I am back in the saddle, so to speak!

    I am doing my Burpies - 60 each, 10 a day, but I will be shooting for 20 a day, just in case we need them.

    My weight numbers are getting messed up because of the sodium I had at one meal out. Plus, my bad timing to eat it on Friday night, right before weigh in. Still, that should bode well for this week.

    So, I am not going to eat out this week! No processed foods. No junk food - the good news is that I am off sugar!

    Love ya' all! Go team!!!

    Hope you are all doing well! Tomorrow is a big calorie burn day! 3X! What a challenge:) Looking for it to help me loose a few pounds!

    I hope everyone is having a good week. I don't have trouble burning enough calories but I struggle with the sodium and I hate burpees. I will try to do a few extra just in case we need them.

    Heather, good luck on your big calorie burn tomorrow, you were almost there today. I have to break mine into 2 workouts to burn enough calories.

    I hate burpees too which is why I have gotten most of them out of the way.

    Really keeping a tab on the sodium level really makes a massive difference! I have been doing a cleanse over the past few days, just mainly fruit and veggies and no caffeine

    I am feeling quite good for it :)

    Unfortunately I couldn't get any exercise done yesterday as I had to drive my daughter up to my parents house (she stays there for the night during the week with my nan) and it's an hour drive, there and back! Plus I need to spend some time with her as well.

    Have body combat on tonight for an hour which should definitely burn some calories!

    Good luck ladies! :)

    Thanks for the encouragement! I'm off now to do my hour on the treadmill... C25K is my new friend. Love the podcast you can download. Quite Nifty, and makes it easier for me. Good luck on those burpees!

    hayes1311 Hey everyone. I am withdrawing from all competitions on here that require me to participate/log weight weekly. I will try keeping up with everything at home but being in Bali I haven't been able to weigh in or do much excercise & I've been drinking way too much I will also be having a operation soon & not sure wen that will be so best to drop out now. sorry to disappoint all my team mates

    I asked Tonya if we could find another member since Hayes dropped out, she said she was leaving it up to each team. So, if anyone knows someone that would like to join the challenge let us know.

    I'm looking forward to this week, jumping jacks and water are alot easier for me than burpees and sodium. Keep up the great work everyone.

    Tara, that would be great if your friend joined the group. What is his/her name? I will need to know what their weight was on Sat so I can let Tonya know.

    Kewwy sent me a message that she was dropping out due to health reasons, she will be in and out of the hospital. I hope everything goes well for her.

    So...if anyone know anyone that would like to join let us know. I'm good with continuing with just 4 or adding someone.

    According to the spreadsheet everyone is doing great this week, WTG!! My arms are really sore from the JJ.

    The new challenge has been posted here
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/MotivationMatters/view/s2-episode-4-my-funny-valentine-210882

    HALT Every time you "want" to eat you to ask yourself: am I hungry, angry, lonely, or tired/bored. Then drink 8oz of water ... and if after that you are still hungry... go ahead and eat.

    Pick one red light food ... and completely abstain from it for the whole week.

    Exercise Challenge ...
    It's simple...
    it's a competition ...
    Running gives you 2x the miles you run
    Walking gives you 1x the mile you walk
    Aerobic exercise (elliptical, biking, etc) gives you 1 point per 15 minutes
    Non aeorbic exercise (weight lifting) ... 1 point per 30 minutes
    Most points wins

    Attend one group fitness class this week (or if you really cannot find one than pick a DVD or rent a DVD or a video that you have NEVER done before)




    What is your red light food for the week? Mine is DP10.

    Keep up the hard work everyone.
  • heatherconcoff

    Are we shooting for 10 fitness point for the week... No problem for me:)

    However, the HALT think will take mindfulness - Good!
    And, I am giving up breads.

    So, should be interesting...

    I bet we'll all have great losses this week! That's how it goes, a nice loss, then smaller, etc.

    Anyone have an idea for a class?? Would yoga count?

    Have a great week!
    Heather

    I'll be doing group aerobic class for 60 min 3 times this week. I would normally do 4 but I have a stupid evening test thats going to cut into my bootcamp time with Tara.

    I think my red light food is going to be chocolate/sweets. I might try to do eating out period, but we didn't get to go grocery shopping today, so we shall see how the week goes.

    Good luck everyone!

    Hi Ladies,
    Sorry I didn't post any weight lost this week -- I did quite a bit of strength training and my legs and arms all feel like they have a 20 lb bowling ball strapped to them. My nutrition was not spectacular (I'll be better!) but I'm certain that strength training is to blame. Hopefully the muscle gain will catch up with me quickly and knock a pound or two off at once!

    I'll be on vacation snow skiing later this week and am hoping that 2 days on the slopes (with heart rate monitor in tow!) will make up make up for the 2 full days of driving from TX to CO. I will not have access to a scale to weigh in on Saturday so I'll probably just log the same weight for next week.

    Good luck this week!!!

    Jackie

    and I am going to give up tortillas this week! I ate enough last week for everyone on our team!

    In place of a class or a DVD I'll find a strength training workout on YouTube that I can do in the mornings before we hit the slopes. I might even do some jumping jacks, mountain climbers or run laps around each gas station while we're stopped to fill up. [only HALF kidding! :) ]

    So, I think I am going to do the "punishment" exercises with Tonya this week. Just because she didn't give them to us doesn't mean we can't all use the extra burn, me especially!!

    My red light food will be anything "eating out". I bought groceries and I need to eat them!

    Hopefully this will be a better week for all of us!

    Good luck ladies!

    So I talked to the hubby today and he said we'd give up eating out this week. :-) it is going to be really tough bc we don't feel like cooking after a long day. But we can do it!

    Good thing too bc I need some chocolate right now. :-) Lol

    No eating out for us this week! All home cooked meals! I'm excited!
