Hundred Push Ups October
Hello everyone! For those of you just joining the challenge, we are doing the hundredpushups.com program. Please join us! We are all on different levels. Some just starting, some almost to the end and some in the middle. For me this is about week 11 or 12. I lost count. I did week 6 day 2 level 1 this morning. I'd like to…

Good morning, I stepped on the scale for my weekly weigh in and I lost another 2 pounds! I am back in the 140's!!! I can't believe what a difference clean eating makes! Some of you are probably like DUH! I didn't think I ate really bad, but I guess I did. Either that, or there are foods that are holding me back. Like wheat…

Earthquakes!?
I live in between Dallas and Fort Worth and my husband told me that we had earthquakes in the area last night! How crazy! 2.5 at 11:30 and 3.0 at 12:01! We were sound asleep:yawn: so we didn't feel anything. My friend that lives about 2-3 miles away felt the whole house shake! Wow! Anyone else live in the area that felt…

Good morning! I'm in a better mood this morning. I have lost 2.5pounds since Monday! It was probably water weight or something, but who cares? I just hope it stays off! So I am back to where I was about two weeks ago. Today grocery shopping and maybe Shred or Taebo. Depends on which one I have more time for. My in laws may…

SBF...October 27
Morning, I've had a wake up call. I stepped on the scale and realized I've been fooling myself and I've been lying to myself. I've gained back all but 5 pounds of what I've lost since late last year. I know that some of that is muscle because I'm more toned now than I was then, but my size 14's are tight and I was in a 12…

Good Morning! This will be an unusual short post from me!:smile: I need to get the house cleaned up because we have company coming tonight. I also want to try to get the dash back in my car today since it will be so nice outside! I am feeling more myself today so I am going to do the push ups test today and see how far I…

Good morning! How is everyone today? Are you sick people feeling better yet? I hope so! :flowerforyou: I don't know what's on the agenda today. Another busy day. Two therapists coming over at the same time this morning. (4 weeks left I think!) Then my family is leaving some time this afternoon. Which I am always sad about,…

Good morning! My arms are shaking right now so this will be a short post for a change. :laugh: Just did my push ups, level 2 of week 6. I missed 7 on the second set so I am going to do those in a minute to make up for it. Today we are suppose to go to the Dallas Aquarium if my mom's knee is up to it. So we will get in some…

Stronger Better Faster Oct 13th
Good morning! Did everyone get a restful night of sleep? I woke up a little stressed. It's going to be busy today and tomorrow morning and I got worried about how Alex is going to handle it all. He's liable to shut himself in his room again. This morning is cleaning and push ups. This afternoon is a party at a bounce…

SBF...October 6
Morning! I did push ups today including my test. I did 50 consecutive, which is pretty cool but I did that two weeks ago on my last test. :grumble: I was hoping for 60. Anyway, I managed to get in 170 with breaks, so I guess that's okay. Goals for new challenge: Shred 4-5x a week Walking 3x a week as weather permits…

Evening grouchies
There's probably no answer for this, but I start going downhill about 4pm or later. I get grouchy and tired. Anyone else get this way? Anyone have any suggestions? My husband says it's because he's coming home from work. :laugh: But it's happened this weekend too when he's been home the whole time. It's been happening for…

SBF...October 4
Good morning! How are you all? I'm chipper this morning surprisingly! I guess because it's the weekend. We're going to do a brake job on our pastor's jeep this morning (maybe that's why I am chipper). Could take several hours. I am not sure if I will do Shred today. Depends on the brake job. Wish I knew how many calories I…

100 Hundred Pushups Sept 1st
Hey all. I didn't see this started anywhere. If I missed the post let me know. Are you all having a good day? I did manage to get my push ups in this morning. Week 4 Level 1 Day 1, full plank. Still struggling to get down low enough I think. This week doesn't seem to be much different than week 3 so maybe by the end of the…

Happy Saturday, people! (Sunday for you barefoot!:wink: ) I'm so glad it's the weekend! I'm sure you all are too. I told my husband he HAS to help me watch what I eat today! I am going to try to get Shred in today. I may work on my car and sand on my son's bed. I have a lot of projects that I really need to be getting…

Hi there, How are you all doing today? I just did week 6 day 3 of the push ups and couldn't finish. I just didn't have it in me this morning. I really think Shred was making a difference in my core and I haven't done that in a couple of weeks. Week 6 is tough, for sure, but I think if my core muscles were stronger I would…

Good morning people! Well, I took the test. Not pregnant. I have no idea what's going on with my body. It's all messed up right now. A little disappointed but I can focus on working out for another four weeks until next time! On the bright side...I think...it's that time of the month and the scale hasn't moved up so maybe,…

Easy breakfast ideas?
I need some variety. I have decided to get off of wheat for awhile to see if I feel better. I can't stand oatmeal (wish I could!) and I am tired of eggs (did South Beach last year and it worked but I am so burned out on eggs!). I do not mind cereal but it doesn't seem to fill me up that well and most of it contains wheat.…

Good morning! How are you all this morning/today? I'm doing all right. My knot on my head is pretty much gone although it's still bruised. Still getting over this nasty cold but getting better every day! Mary I was wondering if your stomach pains could be IBS? My sister had IBS for awhile. After she changed her eating she…

I'm a knot-head!!!
I was working on my car this afternoon, taking out the dashboard to put a new one in. I got out to get a tool and when I got back in I whacked my forehead on the roof of the car! :explode: (t-tops are off because it's stripped down to bare metal) I just sat down and couldn't say a word. Trust me, I thought of a few! It…

Another blessing
Some of you know that back in July someone anonymously donated money to us so we could take our autistic son Alex to a neurologist.He's a Christian doctor. The appointments cost over $350! We don't have that kind of money laying around. So it was a huge blessing for us to get to take our son there. We had another…

Good morning, I'm so glad you all are here. Just feeling mushy again. Probably cause I still don't feel good. I haven't been logging my food the last two days. I have been wanting comfort foods. I haven't gained back my pound so I guess that's good! Doctor's appointment went great yesterday. Did you all read my other post?…

Good morning! How are you all doing? I'm sick. My sore throat turned into a nasty cold last night before I went to bed. :sick: Oh well, I'm still going to work out, I just feel like poopie. Today: push ups a walk if I can get it in between rain showers shred if I can't get the walk in. I don't think I feel up to doing…

Walking/pushing stroller
I know we have a lot of people on this site who walk and push strollers. The calories burned for just walking would not be the same as walking and pushing a stroller, and we are curious as to how many we really burn. I found this site where they did a study of just that. It doesn't say exactly how much we burn but it is…

SBF...9/8
Good morning! At least it's starting out that way. I got started early this morning with my push ups. My arms are still shaking! Week 5 of the program...126 push ups from plank! Not consecutive, four breaks in between sets. I woke up with a sore throat. I am hoping it's sinuses or dehydration. Drinking lots and lots of…

SBF...Sept 3
Good morning. I am trying my best to get back on a schedule today. I've done horrible the last few days. You know what? It started when I upped my calories. I don't know why but it did. I'm tempted to take it back down to 1200 and not fret it if I eat 100-200 cals over (pretty much what I am eat now). I do better when it's…

100 Push Up Challenge Week 6
Are you guys on week 6 or almost there? I have decided to do week 3 again. I am sure I could do week 4 but I really don't think I am getting down as far as I should. So I am doing week 3 day one again today and I am going to push myself to get down further. It will take me at least 9 weeks to accomplish the hundred, but…

Good morning! Did your Saturday start out good? I wanted to sleep some more but we have to get up and go work on the pastor's van this morning. We have a busy weekend, lots of socializing. I hope Alex handles it all okay! I stepped on the scale this morning. I don't know why I did it. I lost a pound though! Trying not to…

Good morning ladies! I didn't do well at all yesterday, but today is starting a new week...I hope. I have been off wheat the last two days (unless it was hidden in something I ate. I am more picky about keeping my son off any wheat than I am for myself), so at least I have managed that! Today I have a lot on my plate that…

S.B.F Challenge...Aug 20
Good morning ladies! I am going to try to push myself today. If it wasn't raining I'd got for a walk because it's a lot cooler...due to the rain. But I will have to stick to my indoor activities. My Husband is coming home from Russia tomorrow evening! He's been gone since the 11th and I do miss him a lot! Okay on to…

Prayers for my hubby please!
Hey everyone, My husband is leaving in the morning on a ten day Russian mission trip. You probably know that war as broken out over there, so that has caused concern in some of the family members. I am not too concerned because the Lord has really opened some doors for him to go and I know it's His will for him to go. He…
