I agree...I'm going to have to take the week off of work next week!!! ack!! :laugh:

I won't take anything personal if you won't!! :bigsmile:

What are our workouts like now? I also work out 6 days a week...heck, might as well say 7, because I can't seem to take a blasted rest day anymore!! I have to do SOMEthing even if it's just a walk around the neighborhood! I have a pretty set schedule because I tend toward taking classes...that way, I can't QUIT or have to…

Well, I'm typically NOT a facial hair fan, but you look good in it! AND, with your Colorado lifestyle and all the things you like to do here, it's definitely more practical (Broomfield here!)

Ok, I guess I'll take my turn here! I'm Jill, 48 yrs old, wife and mom from Colorado! My kids are teens and older now...17, 18, 20, and 21, so it was time to take a bit better care of myself. I would say I'm a textbook "yo-yo'er" dying to find the secret to take it off and keep it off!! So, instead of doing any of the fad…

Ok, to update my post for today...I WAS way under cals...that was the only thing that was left open...it's official that it was well below!! ;)

EVERY school does it, without exception....OSU is just very visible and they made an example of the Bucks!!

Born-and-raised Buckeye....and a Vol by alumni status!!! My blood runs 4 colors......scarlet/grey, orange/white....it's VERY colorful!! ;) Can't WAIT for football!!!

Love your tenacity!! I agree with Jules....no quitting!! You're too important! Hope you're daughter is doing ok....that's scary when they have to be in the hospital!!

You must be thrilled he's home!!!

Day 3: 200 Jump Jacks - check! 100 Mountain Climbers - begrudgingly done...I HATE these! :tongue: 20 Lunges - did travelling lunges while walking my extra mile on the track (I knoooow...an extra mile was not needed, but was done!) Water - I'm already there...still have the second have of my day to go! Under cals - I can…

STRONG day today....I feel great!! Day 2 - After Turbo Kick class, I: 50 Military Presses w 10 lb dumbells....check! 1 Extra Mile run - did an extra 1.5 mile! 3 sets of 21’s - used 10 lb dumbells again! Under cals - very much so! Water - Way over...my back teeth are floating! 120 crunches done towards challenge (210 so far)

On the Walk Away the Pounds site, they have an estimate for how many calories are burned per mile...I just do a little math to get a good estimate of what I burned depending on how hard I perceived that I worked..... It also gives two ranges, one for no impact,...the other for the "boosted" walk.

Okeedoke...better late than never! Under Cals....check! Over water....check! Squat/kicks....yup! Woodchops (or whatever they're called!)....check...intesting exercise.... Extra Crunches......90 today.....30 center crunches and 30 each side oblique crunches

Today.....under cals...over water..... and I did NOTHING exercise-wise...absolutely NOTHING!!! I needed that so much!! I'll be ready to "hit it" again tomorrow!! I'm SO utterly proud of our team for such a wonderful performance on the extra mileage...incredible!!

Holy Majoly, Jules, Judy, and Cecy...did you do anything else but gain mileage?? FanTASTic job...thanks SO much for your massive miles!!!

I've forgotten till now to enter a recipe!! Love this recipe!! You can do whatever you want to "lighten" it up, but I cook it just like this because I don't think that, per serving, it's all that bad!! It's SO easy and tastes so decadent, too, if you like shrimp! SHRIMP SCAMPI 1.5 - 2 pounds shrimp (peeled) 10 ounces of…

Water: Alread over, more to come!! Exercise: Soooo...here's what I did.... I did the Leslie Sansome 4 Fast Miles DVD WITH the "boosted walking".... I did the…

Yes, Jules...yes, you are....hahahaha!! NOT...I'm READY (almost!)!! hahah

All I can say is, "holy crap" to next weeks challenges. I have a full week of testing next week too, so it's going to be moving boxes all week, my normal workout, and massive extras....OOFDAH!!!!

I request that, if globe jumps makes another challenge exercise, that we hunt Gary down and make him do ALL of ours!! haha!! Seems everyone hates them! I'm not a whiner about what exercises do to me, but, MAN, did those leave my knees hurting! I could HEAR them grind during them!! yikes!! Soooooo....those will have some…

By the way, aninamika....I LOVE your new profile pic!!! ;) Very powerful!!

Coming out from my cocoon today..... Under Cals: well, I'm not done quite yet, but you can BET that I'll be under!! Still have 800 cals left, I think a small frozen yogurt won't be ther much!!! Water: My back teeth are floating!! Challenge exercises....done with a vengeance! Mileage: Did one extra mile today bringing me to…

Challenge stuff done!! Calories: Under Water: Lots!! Workout: small (20 minutes, but did that much) Jumping Jacks: Done 21's: Love these...I love weights! Nothing extra tonight toward the extra miles.... that's all.... believe it or not...I'm kinda speechless tonight!! Hope y'all have a wonderful night and "see" ya in the…

Fantastic story....I LOVE recounts (I shouldn't have called it a "story"...it was TRUE!!) that people overcome ALL odds! Thanks for sharing that, Lori, truly inspirational!! I thank goodness that *I* can "complain" about feeling so utterly tired after a workout, because I was ABLE to do that workout. So much to be thankful…

I'm psyched too!! I love every level of football...from bitty to the pros!! This is my son's senior year in high school....which is REALLY cool, but totally bums me out that he won't be playing anymore...there's something about watching your own son play!! Go OSU Buckeyes and UT Vols!!! Gooooo Broncos!! (even though we've…

That's GREAT Sherri!! Way to push yourself...it all pays off in the end!!!
