Hi all,
I was just plain lazy yesterday and didn't do the challenge. No excuse just lazy. Tonight I did both the Monday and Tuesday challenge.
For my Tabata routine I did:
.Jumping Jacks
Standing Side Crunches
Fast Feet
Burpees
I absolutely hate burpees but I had the bright idea to push myself out of my comfort zone
Mission accomplished!0 -
Hello!
Monday was a wash...still recovering from the damping trip!
Tuesday - we had the g'baby, so workout time was limited. I chose to run instead of my tabata. I will make it up before the end of the week! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi!
My name is Jackie. I've always had weight issues. I even resorted to anorexia when I was in high school.
I managed to stay around 135 for a long time. But I had my son almost 4 years ago and have been packing on pounds ever since. I've gone on diets, lost a bunch of weight, then as soon as I was off, I put it all back on. I leveled out around 163 for a long time. Then about a month and a half ago I realized I was up to 172. It was my wake up call. I've been doing well with food for the last few weeks, and have gotten back down to the original 163. Now I just need to tweak my eating habits a little more, (I've been making small less drastic changes), and find the motivation to exercise again. My goal is to get down to 125 by May of next year. Hopefully I can make changes that stick. 0 -

Hi Jackie! I know all about yoyo dieting. I have been doing it since my early teens. MFP is an excellent place to be to lose weight. Good luck.
I did my cardio today but not the planned workout. I will be getting it later this week.0 -
Just a few more days in July - whoo hoo! (Although it has gone by FAST!)
I'm still biking, but I also signed up for a 5K and (gasp!) a 10K in early October. So, starting this Sunday, I'll begin the 10K running program. Wish me luck!
July 2011 Goals
SW: 211
GW: 205
CW: 204 (actually down a little more, but I'm still not going to log it on MFP until I can stay there for at least a week or two.)
BIKE: 300+ of 250 miles done (I've been biking regularly, including an extra 20+ mile ride last night. So, I'm well over.)
Now, I need to start thinking about August goals, both for weight and for exercise. Not sure how I'll balance the running with the biking (not to mention all the rest of that crap called job, home, life, school, etc.!), but I'm hopeful I can keep going and not burn out or crash this time. I'm hoping that I might be able to finally get and STAY below 200 by the time school starts at the end of August.0 -
Hello!
I did the exercises yesterday and today. I did something yesterday that pulled something in my left shoulder...could it have been the push ups? LOL! So, today I modified a couple of the exercises.
I did not get my run in today, but I did take a nice long walk with the kiddies to the library and back!
Jackie, good to hear from you! You can do this!
Noelle, you are doing a great job!! I am signed up for a 10k in mid-September...so I have to step up the running!! What plan are you following?
One week left in July!! I can't believe it went by so fast!0 -

Hal Higdon's 10K program. It just maps out a plan for you, and I like that (although I can't speak for the program since I haven't actually started yet!).0 -
Hello,
I did both Wednesday's and Thursday's workout yesterday but haven't managed to get anything in today. It was after 9 tonight when I got home and I am just too pooped. I have shortened my workouts all week in an effort to try and get caught up at work and I fully expect the scales to reflect that tomorrow morning.
On a happier note, I amgoing to see the new Ice Age movie tomorrow with some of the family including my 4 year old grandson. I love the Ice Age movie. Guess I'm just a big kid at heart.
Noelle, I am totally impressed with the 5K and the 10K is just plain awesome. Yay to your dedication and determination!0 -

Hi Jackie,
I would say that I have done 80% of your workouts though not always on the days they were posted for You have done an excellent job of putting it all together and I appreciate your effort.:flowerforyou: 0 -
Well, I know the end of the week is gonna be crazy, so I wanted to get a fphead start!
I walked on the treadmill for 5 miles today! So easy when you're caught yup in a movie! :laugh:0 -
I haven't been able to check in every day, but have been using about 3/4 of the workouts (those that are strength based) on my non-biking and non-running days. I really liked having them all laid out early, and then I just plopped them into my week, as needed.
Thanks for all you did for us this month, Jackie! And, way to get some good walking in while watching a movie!0 -
