YOU GUYS ROCK!! :noway:
You are all doing such an amazing job with this challenge so far !! I'm so excited for all of you. Sorry I haven't been on this thread much - I work 2 jobs (one is my own massage business in the evenings & Saturdays), I usually walk to work and home every evening unless it's pouring rain (2 miles each way), AND trying to get this challenge off the ground, AND finding time to squeeze in my own exercises challenges!! Whew!! But you guys are so much encouragement for ME and I'm sure you are for each other as well!!
Hopefully this thing will start running smoothly and we can all start concentrating on the challenges, walking our gazillion miles, and LOSING SOME POUNDS!! :happy:

Anyone else wake up with sore abs this morning?!0

If we update in googledoc's what we've done - do we still need to leave it on this thread???
(I'm kinda assuming not -as that would be redundant) :glasses:
interesting what I thought would be the 'killer' (plank) wasnt as bad as what I thought would be easy/ok (tricep thing) -
o my goodness - I really struggled with that one!! :noway:
have a WONDERful day0 -

Everyone did so good today! Congrats on such a great first day! Let's keep it going!
I NEVER drink that much water -- I am proud that I got it all in -- I usually only do 6 glasses. It does make me full to help keep under calorie goal! Now let's hope I am not up all night running to the bathroom -- hmmm, I could count that towards my walking miles lol, just kidding
How funny!!! You did great today! Everyone did!0 -
Of course I woke up sick on the 2nd day! I am determined not to let it set me back. My abs are a tiny bit sore, but the tricep exercise was the worst for me. I never work my arms and they are pretty weak.0

No - you don't HAVE to put what you've done on this thread... posting here is more for encouragement and just to let each other know how we are doing and "what" we are doing.... the place that I NEED to see the info is of course on the google doc spreadsheet - if you want your hard earned "points" for this challenge!! :laugh:0 -
Just did the day 2 exercises...those fire hydrants were tougher than I thought!! My butt is sore already!
I really pushed myself in my strength workout last night and I'm a little sore today, but was glad I could get through all the challenge exercises. Now i just have to run 4 miles after work...
Day 2 is so far successful!0 -
Thank you:)Of course I woke up sick on the 2nd day! I am determined not to let it set me back. My abs are a tiny bit sore, but the tricep exercise was the worst for me. I never work my arms and they are pretty weak.

Hahaha! I posted on the Challengers thread instead of my Enthusiests! Sorry for the confusion!!!! But good job everyone! :blushing: :happy:0

GREAT DAY 1 TEAM!!
GO CHALLENGERS!
Good luck today everyone! You can all do it!
It is helping that I have a team thing going here, because it's easy to let myself not do it, but if I'm going to bring a team down, I will make myself do it 0 -
Carrie: Feel better soon! So sorry:-(
Well, I DID drink 12 glasses of water and a lot of it was late afternoon and evening (since I was outside most of the day gardening and walking.)...:huh: Needless to say, I woke up all night long running to the bathroom. Seriously, I should have had my pedometer on! I am downing my water earlier in the day today:huh:
Good luck on day 2 Everyone!!!

That's what I do.... I try my best to drink all of my water before 7 or 8pm ..... that way I'm not up all night going to the bathroom!! I'm SOOOO proud of you for getting that much water in.... :drinker: that's awesome!!0 -

Sorry you are not feeling very well...... drink plenty of water :drinker: (hehehe - couldn't resist) . Seriously tho - you can always "catch up" on the challenges by the weekend if you get a day or two behind...... no worries!! Hope you get to feeling better SOON!!! :flowerforyou:0 -

Thank you! I will def get my water in and exercise and walking challenge. I dont know if I will hit 500 calories but I will try.0 -
Hi everyone -- Tuesdays are my busy day at work. I work from 8-6 then go straight to bowling from 6:30 -9:30 so it is just one big crazy day. I don't get home til close to 10pm. Since my schedule is crazy on Tuesdays, I always take my rest day on Tuesdays. So, I will try to either squeeze in the exercise challenges throughout my day or I will do it when I get home from bowling but I won't get any miles in today. I just thought I would let you know. I didn't want everyone to think I was slacking already lol.
Okay, back to work! I will check in later!
Everyone is doing GREAT! We are rockin' it

working on getting todays challenge exercises done...kiddos dont seem to want to give me just a few minutes to complete them so they are getting broken up but done. Hoping to hit the gym this evening for a good workout if not I will just hit my treadmill and get at least my 2 miles in.
I have been super distracted today watching all the weather footage for the tornado outbreak in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I am originally from Dallas and all my family and friends are there. Thankfully no one I know has had a direct hit so far but Im hearing rumors that my actual town growing up has sustained a very hard it...its crazy0 -

It is awesome to be a part of something so well organized!0 -
I agree...you must not sleep Teresa. I hope that you got to get your own workouts in today and that we can support you as well as you have the rest of us!
Today was a good day with food, water and exercise. I learned my lesson last night with my water intake and am now at 13 glasses and will not have a drop now until I wake up tomorrow. HOPE that I will do more sleeping and less running tonight:noway:
I am enjoying having some different exercises to do each day...I have been doing pretty much the same floor exercises each day and it's nice to shake things up a bit...and hopefully tone some areas that I have "missed"!
Have a nice evening, Everyone! On to day THREE!!! Kackie 0 -
