I should have made lunges part of my day, but I got to sneak into the Y for a quick workout -- I didn't think they had child care on Sundays, but they do till noon. I didn't figure it out until after 11am... LOL! Luckily my son wanted to run there (0.4 mile)... He doesn't run more than 30 seconds at a time, but it still…

<----Chicago Girl too!! There are groups for future mommys, I assume for diabetes, and for all other things... Do a search under the topics page... Find some 'friends' that you will have a lot in common, get inspired, have tons of support and have fun with MFP!! Good Luck! And you can add me too if you like!! :-D

Lunges for this weeks Exercise Challenge From WebMD: How to do a Lunge: Take a big step forward, keeping your spine straight. Bend your front knee to approximately 90 degrees. Keep weight on your back toes and drop the back knee toward the floor -- but don't let it touch the floor.... Side Lunges: Try stepping not just…

I love my FT7... and to find out how much I was over estimating... Ugh!! Great to know, but I totally agree with the I was 'slapped' in the face too!

9/17 Stats.... Fruits...5 Mtn Climbers...0 Minutes...144 ****I have been counting a whole banana as one serving... I don't have a good sense of portions & think a banana left for a couple hours becomes gross - even if it doesn't I still feel like it does - So I am not a good judge of that stuff! Having a good food weekend…

9/16 Stats... (Let's see how many times I can post today....) Fruit... 5+ Mtn Climbers....0 ( I need to get on them... Ugh!) House Points... 124 (That is a lot but I feel like a total slacker today...Ugh!!) Two votes thus far for legs and one for arms.... Where are the rest of the Hufflepuffs? (I think I can count....Oi!!)…

Watching sodium is brilliant!!! I never watch mine... I had to turn my setting on to get ready for the challenge... lhurtubise-- Can you do any leg exercises? (Walking Lunges, body weight squats, leg lifts??) I wanna to try and make it as fair as possible for EVERYONE to get some points in....

What part of the body should we focus on for next weeks exercise Points?? I wanna hear it from the House then I will go pick something fun!! (Plus it might make the board a little more active... Yawwwnnn!! Luff Ya All!!) Vote! Vote! Vote!! :heart:

9/15 Stats.... Fruits... 5 Mtn Climbers....0 House Points...175 (Whoot Hoot! To riding my bike to work got me in 120 mins of working out and burned over 1000 cals-HRM!!)

I have lost my mind... I had 5+ servings of fruit and did NO mtn climbers... I need to draw myself a picture diagram so I can set things straight... Or maybe a remembrall... Now where did I put it....

9/14 Stats... OWLs: 5 NEWTs: 0 (Yuck!! Maybe I will work my way into them later - but I doubt it.) House Points: 72 Having a weird day... Headache is still lingering around, not as severe as it has been. Thank God!! Hope everyone is doing AMAZING!! Go Hufflepuff!! Toot-toot!!

OK... 9/13/11 Stats... OWLs: 2 ( I am sure I could go more than a minute... maybe tomorrow!!) NEWTs: 5 House Points: 65 I have had a headache for 2 days now... Yuck!! I wasn't really hungry most the day... but I still ate - Not sure if that is good or bad. Hoping for some more movement on the scale tomorrow... gotta get…

Ah for the Love of Chocolate Frogs!! I messed up then! (What a perfect example I am!!) Sunday stats - 3 serving of veggies No pushups... (Who picked those anyway?!?)

Um... Yay!! School is important too!! Good Job!!

That is what I meant... per day... Assume the same with Nicole... (But you know what assume'n does!)

I look forward to being sorted... Every 'online' test I have ever taken (yes... We all have done it because we are that cool!!) seems so "pick the answer you know will get you into the house you wanna be sorted into"... I really would like a non-biased (or Jo-baised) opinion. I will embrace whatever Pottermore gives me...…

I am so jealous of everyone who got into Pottermore! I complety forgot to do it... until the next day... Then I was kicking myself!! Can't wait till October! (Right?! October?) Hoping I am still a Hufflepuff!!

Just pre-ordered Lego Harry Potter years 5-7 on amazon... Can't wait!! Stats for Sunday & Monday: Total of 9 serving of fruits (4 & 5) A whole 2 sets (1 min) of Mt. Climbers Exercise time 115 (45 + 70) (**I forgot which was NEWTs and which is OWLs... Oi!) Getting back into the grove of things... I am ready for the…

Hmmmm.... What should we do food wise.... Fresh/raw fruit... a point for each serving, max of 5.... (There should still be affordable options out there for most - but I guess if not, frozen is next best.) My stats for the week: (minus Sunday & Monday) OWLs: 16 NEWTs: 25 House Points: 575 Weight: 170.6 Ugh!! I have been a…

Bump... Ran outta pages... Now I gotta keep track over here.... Hiya Y'all!!! You don't get my stats post yet because I have them all written done at home... So look forward to another one from me! :laugh:

YAY!! That is an awesome one!! (I am always bigger than the guys I date... maybe I should start dating guys that weight more than 150#s... Hummm... :-P ) ** I totally forgot we were counting minutes for the interhouse cup... Ugh! I will tally those up for my Weekly report... I got to play soccer with the kid yesterday -…

Um... So I ran away... LOL!! My kid is finally back.. Whoo-Hoot!! Now I have this week to figure out how to work-out & be a single mom, again. I have been spoiled (and lonely) with 6 weeks to myself... This weeks weight in... up a pound 170.4.... Grrrr!! I got all my water in for Saturday. Sunday & Monday got my 3 servings…

Forgot to log my stats for 9/2... Not that there was much. No sit-ups just 12 glasses of water.

*Bump* Ouch! I just stubbed my toe... :laugh: Hey just bumping in so I can be nosy and keep up with the other houses. Go Hufflepuff House! :heart:

I am losing my mind... Don't mind me!!

Yes... That was the whole point... and yet I forgot to mention it... Geez! :bigsmile: **Placement of arms doesn't matter (just remember saftey) - I was trying to get the point across that ALL fitness Levels can do Push-Ups. (*The idea of the extra 5 bonus points was for the one whom did the most 'normal' push-ups all week…

10 glasses of water 150 situps... Played with the new heart rate monitor all night... 2 hours in of exercise... only a few sit-ups tho.... :-)

I suck at the plank. But the more you do, the longer you go... I have been working them pretty hard for the past 2 months and I am finally feeling like I am starting to get it... I can hold for a whole 30 seconds now. :grumble: Turkist Get-Ups are the DEVIL! :devil: Hate Them, know I do them wrong every time!

I love/hate her as well! I roll my eyes and give her dirty looks while I am working out... but once it is done. I smile and think... Well, that was kinda fun, Thanks Jilly. :-)

I started on 8/15. I am 5'2" and start weight was 175(ish). BMI I am still obese. (Down 5# already) I am very active. Work out at least an hour a day (at least 5 days, but mostly 7 per week). You can modify a lot, but will that discourage you???
