No More Excuses - Week Two

Tigermom79, great job on the shoveling snow, that burns a lot of calories! And great job on the willpower to stay away from the cookies. I was going to bake some for my kids and never got around to it today.

Dh and I had a wonderful dinner, very nice and I spurge on calories but we don't go out to eat often and so I decided to get what I wanted, eat only about 1/3 of it and only drink water. It was deliicious, high in calories and fat, knew that going into the meal.

I think it is great if you join, I feel the more the bigger support system. Unless somebody else objects I will add you to the chart.

drj414ny, it seems to me if I remember correctly you want to lose about 50 pounds. If that is correct I would focus mostly on cardio but add some weight stuff in slowly 2 or 3 times per week and work your way up to to. I think you should hit the cardio. That is what I am doing and then about three times per week doing some things with my 10 lb weight. Good luck and enjoy the gym!

In about two seconds the chart will once again be updated and then I won't add anybody else until next week. If people still want to join great but the chart will stay as it is unless I have made a mistake on it. Welcome to all the new people, please remember to message me your weight next Sunday.

Have a wonderful week and be strong! :flowerforyou:

STEP AWAY FROM THE CRACKERS KIM! :laugh:
I am sorry you don't feel well, I hope you feel better tomorrow!

Christy, great job on your push-ups! Don't foget the challenge everybdoy! I was hoping I didn't upset you starting the new thread since you said you were going to do it tomorrow.

Whitney, it nice to "meet" you! Glad you are here!

I forgot my great news. My shoes were shot but so is my budget. My dh got me new shoes for our anniversary. Now that might sound dumb to some of you, but we had decided not to get each other anything and I got new shoes and new insoles and he also got new shoes. The saleslady was awesome, talk to me about all the shoes, helped me figure out that the insoles were what I need. I liked the cheaper shoe but it didn't have enough support so I got these athletic insoles. I am so happy! Best gift he could have gave me because it is a gift toward my health!

Susan, we have one of the same challenges about not drinking Coke. Today is day #3 for me! Let's do this together!

Okay team, did you all see that adorable baby boy under Sonshinemom's name. That is my ADORABLE nephew. He gets his blue eyes from me. I am glad you are here, Kelly. It will be great doing this together!!

11Kimberly11, I will get you on the chart today because I need to make a change to it. Glad you are here.

Willow12, our challenge this week is 20 push-ups each day. Either regular, wall or knee kinds. That way everybody can do. Or you can mix them up. I can only do 2 regular before I hit my knees. I also do 20 wall ones in the shower, weird but it is peaceful there. :laugh: We will have a new challenge next week.

Ann, waiting on tests is extremely hard. We have waited on many tests concerning our youngest daughter. The first blood test to determine her diagnosis, blood tests to check med levels and lots of other things. I have learned whether you think you can or not you can deal with the results. It is not easy sometimes it is next to impossible, but it is doable. I will pray for your family today, I hope that is okay. I am not sure what tests are being done but your family is in my prayers.:flowerforyou:

Have a fanastic day team, I am home with a sick little girl, so I am hoping to get some exercise in. It is so hard when they are sick and non-verbal with no hand function for sign. I really have no idea what hurts and because of seizure meds and other meds it is really not advisable to give her too much over the counter stuff! :grumble:
