1. I am going to give up potato chips and fries- wish me luck- I think I have never gone 7 days doing this 2. Am going to shoot for 45 minute gym/cardio sessions this week My bonus is going to be to drink 8 glasses of water a day, and to do an extra 40 push ups 4 times this week. Just completed one set

Carmarie.... Is your middle name Marie? Because if so, mine is too. Crazy:-) I try to run at least once a week but I am slow like a turtle. I am definitely cutting WAY back on carbs and trying to eat less processed foods because I would like to lose 10 lbs in 20-30 days. However, this week- I am just shooting for now fast…

Day Two... 30 push ups (6 reps, 5 times, girl style because I have no upper body strength). 75 sit ups and I completed the Cardio Fix video of the 21 Day Fix. Ouch.

Ok... Day one complete... No fast food, 60 sit ups and 30 push ups down!!!!! B)

1. Carmen 2. I would like to lose 20 pounds (this includes the 10 I gained back and the last 10 I never lost). I did this the first time by logging everything I ate into MFP and spent much more time exercising than I ever had in the past. 3. I am also trying to get leaner and stronger- so am going to incorporate the 21 Day…

1. Drink 8 Glasses of Water a Day- One Point For the week if you do this 2. Work out every day for 30 minutes (1 point for each day you do this) For every day you work out for over 60 minutes- give yourself 2 points a day! 3. If you stick to your diet for 5 out of 7 days, give yourself 1 point. If you make it for all 7…

Nice job, alf 1163!

This week was a bad one for me... I have realized that when I record my MFP, I actually do much better- I did not do it this week, and basically fell apart.. Monday is a new day! 1. Record your food in MFP every day- 1 point NO 2. Drink 8 cups of water every day- 1 point YES 3. Give up one food for the entire week- post it…

I usually post 1-2 times a week in the weekly thread, but the bulk of what I post is in my MFP daily summary...... I will absolutely record my results here at the end of the week.. and the 360 minutes of training is any way you can do it... Today I worked out for 47 minutes, yesterday was an hour.... etc.... Good work so…

All right.... Because we are at the Hump Day, I am posting my totals so far... 1.

Any type of sit up- crunches, or full will work:)

Any type of weights- whether it is the machines at work or free weights I count as weight training- and I am a wuss..... I only do machines- lol

All right, here is my final score for this week.... I did finally break through to the low 150's- finally!!!!! So I did have a weight loss, albeit a small one.... My three guilty pleasure foods (although I have so many) include 1. Champagne 2. Any type of carb (pizza, french fries, pasta) dipped in truffle oil 3. Potato…

All right..... My final reporting is as follows for this week (Note to self, do not attempt to add a new class if you are out of town for part of the week- haha) 1. Any type of cardio for 180 minutes- completed over 250 for the week (because that is the only stuff I did- haha) 2. I only did 240 Jumping Jacks, 300 situps…

All right, in keeping with my promise to keep up with my personal tracking, here are my final points for this week.... Monday- 60 minute walk Tuesday- 60 minute walk/rum Wednesday- 200 sit ups, 200 jumping jacks Thursday- 60 minutes on the elliptical Friday- 56 minute walk/run Saturday 75 minute walk/run

So glad to see some of these responses- Val, my favorite workout is soccer too- maybe we should look into joining the rec teams; it was a blast last time.... I also think I would like Zumba if I learned the moves (only been once) and love Pilates! My workouts this week has been... Monday- 1hour walk Tuesday- 1 hour run…

I am so excited that we are going to start this year out right! And for me, my long awaited 2013 resolutions are going to begin as of January 3, 2013..... I am going to only add my personal/health goals here, my work goals are equally long (gulp)..... Here goes.... 1. I want to eat fast food no more than one time a month.…

I am almost there... I have 100 minutes of cardio done! Now today I plan on doing another 30-60, along with the sit ups and the jumping jacks- wish me luck!

All righty.... 55 minutes of cardio later:) Hooray!!! Now I am celebrating with a Grey Goose and soda-lol More to come!

You all are doing well! If you want to replace yoga with 60 minutes of some other type of stretching or more relaxing exercise (swimming, pilates, etc).. Just something geared more toward flexibility, please feel free to replace it. I just think it is important to make sure you do some flexibility training as well as the…

Hello everyone, I am back online. :happy: Unfortunately I ended up coming down with pneumonia on Saturday- went to the doctor on Monday... and finally felt good enough to work out today... So, I will probably NOT be completing week one by tomorrow... as I have only done 55 minutes of cardio as of today... Next week, I am…

12/9/2012-: 155.6lbs. 12/16/2012: 12/23/2012: 12/30/2012 My goal of pounds lost in December: 15 Running Total of actual pounds lost in December:

One more thing- that is the total for the week- that way you can break it up as much as you would like:) I normally do 60 minutes of cardio at a time, and 50-100 sit-ups (but I am sick right now, so I am just hoping I can start up by tomorrow)....

For those who have asked, definitely change up the cardio if you would like- do some walking, some swimming, etc.... If you have trouble with the jumping jacks, just swap them out for something else- lunges, fencing, or another 30 minutes of cardio is fine:)

December 9-15 Challenge.... 1. 180 minutes of any type of cardio (running, biking, swimming, rowing, elliptical, you get my drift) 2. 200 Jumping Jacks (for those of you that have trouble with Jumping Jacks, you can replace this with 30 minutes of Yoga) 3. 100 Sit Ups As I said before, I am going to try and slowly get us…

I definitely hear you with the water- I think I may give myself a challenge to drink 10 cups a day next week... If I was really smart I would cut out alchohol... but I am not there yet-haha!
