Missed yesterday. Again. Worked until 9pm and just collapsed. We'll call it a rest day and move on lol

@dawnbgethealthy check online for shoulder range of motion exercises commonly used for rotator cuff - any of those should help with supporting shoulder muscles. I have found, over time, that the inclined push ups are helping where I carry tension in my shoulders. I, seriously, started at 5 and increased gradually. I do…

Yes you will, Dawn. You're at where I started this round. And I've bounced up against the 190's before. It takes every ounce of determination and tenacity we can muster. Especially when we run into the naysayers, the sabatogers, and the "you look great where you are" crowd. My sister in-law just told me last week, "You're…

So. Coming off some joint pain. Did 2 rest days. Felt much better last night, but opted for a 2-mile walking trail. Will start back at 40 and shoot for 50. Not sure I can, but I can try.

@dawnbgethealthy love the picture! So nice to "see" the folks we we're interacting with! I'm am totally exhausted. Last two days have been a bear. I'm actually taking tomorrow off to just chill. I'll be checking in tomorrow, but I hit a huge milestone today on Fitbit! I have finally lost more weight than I have left to go!…

Hey Dawn. I'm doing inclined push ups (against bathroom vanity), squats, lunges, arm circles and side bends using my body weight for resistance. Also doing tricep lifts using 1 lb weights. I started the push ups against kitchen counter and went to the lower vanity as I got stronger. I started the tricep lifts with 3 pound…

Missed last night, but thethere was some joint pain. I'm being mindful to listen to my body. Sore is good. Hurt, not so much. The whole purpose of this challenge, for me, is to build stamina and strength to be less susceptible to injury. Strength Training: (with accelerated reps)* 9/1-4 - 20, 25, 30, Rest ✔ * 9/5-7 - 30,…

@kmfeig87 Holding you in love and light, Trina. You got this. Keep us posted.

LMBO - "beefier" you do know that was supposed to be "before" :smiley:

@dabbers18 New granddaughter???!!!! Congrats!

I missed last night and today is a rest day. I will just consider the days swapped - looking at 4 days beefier the next rest day lol

Didn't find it offensive at all. Greatly appreciated you giving us a place to start <3

Of course it counts. The goal in these types of challenges is consistent acceleration of reps. If you miss a day, just count it as a rest day and pick up where you left off. Don't burn yourself out trying to catch up, just get back in the game!

I'm 6 for 6! Still including push ups, arm circles, side bends, and tricep lifts with the squats & lunges. 20, 25, 30 Rest day with 1 mile walk 30, 35 today See you tomorrow!
