Kettlebell Challenge - 30 Days

Hi there! I have actually done one so far.. I plan on doing one in morning tomorrow and another on Sunday or maybe Monday morning before I go to work. I do AE Active as well, so it ends up being about a 1/2 hour of AE and 1/2 of Kbells. I wasn't on last night but, I am hoping you did your kbells! If you didn't no worries, but I am curious how you like them if you did... :happy:

Kettlebells did twice. However, I may do them once more tonight. I did do my AE Active 5x this week.

Yeah, I ate a lot of calories this weekend as well. Went to a Pig Roast - lot of drinking and we are now facing a heat wave that just makes me feel like I have gained weight with the humidity. I weigh in at WW on Wednesday so, we will see how that goes compared to last week.

I think this week will be better. It just seems like lately I have so many eating/drinking events planned. I think once August is done, it will be better but, I am still not going to use this as an excuse.

How did you like the Kettleworx? I have checked it out online and am considering getting this program. I am so used to the one I have now, but this guy has tons of different work outs and only 20 minutes 3x a week. That's nice. Good luck with this week - Maybe we can both hit at least 3... I think we can!

It's great that your bf and yourself can go to this class together. My husband doesn't really work out. He is in great shape, but is naturally this way (lucky). Anyway, I do the AE Active and the Kettlebells but, really am considering buying the Kettleworx program. The Kettlebell program I have there is only one dvd that is 30 mins and the rest are long and I am kind of sick of them. The Kettleworx looks like it would keep you entertained - seems like there are many different workouts. I like to change my routine up here and there.

It is very nice to talk to someone. I haven't met anyone either. Well a couple of people but, haven't had lengthy conversations. It's a great site, though. It really keeps me motivated and I was thinking of doing my workouts all week - which I did - but it keeps me pretty true to myself - I like that!

Good luck to you also! Have fun at the class on Friday :happy:

Week 2
CW 165/SW 169.4/GW 135/ Pounds lost 2 (only 10 pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight!)

My current weight may not be accurate either. I usually weigh in on Wed. afternoons so, I usually don't put my check in weight on my ticker until Wed. At least we both know we are headed in the right direction, though! I was really bad with my activity this week. I did a lot of gardening which made me sore. I did one session of my AE Active and really didn't do my Kbells. I am going to do them tonight, though, so I guess you could say one time. I am really upset with myself that I didn't manage to get in more workouts this week. I am usually pretty faithful with at least four times a week. This week I will promise to get in 3x with those kbells. I think I need to change my workout times for the fall. I think I need to do this first thing in the morning to get it out of the way. I am getting too tired doing it at night.

I would love to swim, but can't stand to see myself in any kind of bathing suit yet around people. Do you have a swimming pool? Good luck with this week...

Week 3
CW 166/SW 169.4/GW 135/ Pounds (gained 1lb this week) total loss = 3.4)

I am in the same boat I guess! It's pretty bad because I binged hard yesterday but, I also worked out so hopefully, by Wednesday, I will show a loss. I did do 3 days of KB and 4 days of AE Active (which is tough). Anyhow, yeah, I gained! Yet, last week I lost and didn't work out as much - kills me how this weight loss thing works sometimes. My sodium was up more than it should have been on one day. It's alright, it's just part of the process I guess. I always gain during that time...

You are very fortunate to have a pool right near you. I would love that.

This is just a minor setback for the both of us and we will continue on... there will always be bumps in the road. I do feel so much better than I ever have and people compliment me daily. It's very motivating. Soon I will fit into a size 12 - which is a small goal for now. Maybe in a few weeks.
Good luck!

Hi there! I was wondering how you were doing. Work has been nuts with me too and the baby has been sick so, it's been tough for me. I am hoping to see a difference when I weigh in tonight. I feel a difference but I haven't lost either - pretty much stayed the same. I have been doing a 30 day challenge -daily shred. It's with Jillian Michaels - extremely tough for me anyways... I can join along with this one as well, though. I will try and do 3 days a week!.
