    I'm sorry I've been MIA, ladies! Last week, family was in town (I'm still visiting my folks) and I we had my son's 7th birthday. We went to the beach and got burnt! I'm a redhead from Florida, and I know all about the sunscreen. I'm usually so diligent with the sunscreen for the kids and myself. But, this one time got us (the new spray bottle I brought didn't spray). I haven't been able to hardly move the last few days, and my 3 year old got it even worse (poor guy). We're finally starting to recover, and I'm ready to go home. However, it's raining between Tallahassee and Jacksonville, so I don't know when we can get home and I can get to my routine again! I didn't get in any exercise yesterday, due to the sunburn and running errands all day. I'll get back at it today though!!! Have a great week, everyone!!

    Don't worry about it. The team effort doesn't begin until next week and from what I have heard, Debby's is dumping a lot of rain. No more excuses next week ;)

    I hope I did the spreadsheet right. I didn't add any points for miles or burns. Hubby's coming home tomorrow!! I hope I can get something done. If not, I'll weigh in on Sunday.

    There will be NO formal challenge again this month. Jen is still in the road so I will copy and paste the workouts starting for Monday. Weill just go back to the beginning if JUNE and start over. (just go back a few pages to find it if you need it before I get to my big computer to do it for you) .

    For those who would like to continue on in July, please record your information on the same spread sheet as before. Jen will update later. There are three tabs, Daily Exercises, Weekly Weight and Measurements. Measurements is optional, but extra points can be scored. You will be responsible for posting your own scores.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AqfM2VasNXWbdEQ1X0E0MDE2YTBZUm94S3k4d0lRb1E

    The rules are the same as before.

    Here are this weeks challenges (I took them from January)....


    Weekly Challenge - SODIUM
    Our weekly challenge for week one is going to be focusing on sodium. If you stay under on your daily sodium you earn 1 point.

    MONDAY

    10 minute Total Body workout
    This workout is one that should only take 10 minutes out of your day and can be done in any place with no equipment.

    1. (1:30) Jump Rope - If you don't have a jump rope air jump rope.
    (30 sec rest)
    2. (1 minute) Plyometric Push - up - This can be do either in modified push up form or normal push up form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMqPf7TTv2s
    (30 sec rest)
    3. (1 minute) Standing Crunch To Squat - I don't have video of this as a flowing exercise BUT here is a worded instruction and a video on the Standing Crunch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vd4AoebNmg -- Stand with feet shoulder width apart, hands behind your head, elbows out to sides. Bend from the hips to the right as your bring your right knee toward your elbow (out and up like in video). Return to starting position and repeat with left knee and left elbow. Return to Stating position then do one squat. These three steps count as one rotation.
    (30 sec rest)
    REPEAT 1 time. If you are more advanced repeat twice.


    TUESDAY
    2 Sets of 15 swimmers press, 2 sets of 15 wood chops, 2 sets of 21's and 2 sets of 15 tricep kickbacks

    Thanks Libby!!

    I have a couple of friends who might be interested in doing this with us. Do you and others think they can join along with us? Will spreadsheet be a problem, Jen???

    If not, would Belinda mind if I copy the exercise and give them in some private group? I think the exercises and challenges are really good and would love to share them with my friends. Thanks!!

    Yes, I am in for the challenge :-)

    I'm in for the first two weeks of July. Then, we're moving out of our house on the 14th, and going on vacation for a week. I'm not so sure I can keep up while on vacation. Then, I should be back to normal around the 23rd-24th.

    I so agree. I like watching sodium because it makes me make better choices. I don't eat out so much any more because of it , and because of that it makes it easier to maintain. It also made it easier to loose when I was loosing as well. So this is just to make us aware old our food intake!!! So good choices....
