Halloween Chlg - Day 16 Oct 31 check in LAST DAY
This is it! How did everyone do??? I only had one day during the challenge where I did not get in at least 30 minutes of cardio. Not too bad! Last night I rode my bike for 45 minutes, did a 20 minute Biggest Loser Strength & Sculpt, & 15 minutes of warm up & cool down. I decided to have a cupcake with my son so had to up…

Halloween Chlg - Day 15: Oct 30 check in
Only 1 more day to go before our Halloween Challenge is complete! GREAT JOB to those that took on the challenge and did their best to fulfill it! Last night I got out the Biggest Loser Workout DVD that I checked out from the library again (I really need to just buy this one) and did the 5 minute warm-up, 25 minute…

Halloween Chlg - Day 14: Oct 29 (& weekend) check in
Hello everyone! How did you do this weekend with your cardio? Friday night (well, slightly after midnight) I went to the fitness center in my hotel and got in 30 minutes trying out the different pieces of equipment. The Precor & upright bike didn't work so well with my ankle. For some reason, even though I had to stay on…

Halloween Chlg - Day 11: Oct 26 check in
Okay. So the Rockies played a bit better last night which made my ride go much better - I got in 40 minutes last night and it wasn't as laborous as the night before. I'm going to a Scrapbook Retreat this weekend but there is an exercise room at the hotel I'm staying at so I will be sure to get in there. The exercise won't…

Halloween Chlg - Day 10: Oct 25 check in
I got in my 30 minutes on the bike during the game last night - but I'll have to say it was so much harder and seemed to go so much longer with the Rockies losing than when I've ridden and they are winning. Hmmm. Anyway, I got it done. The Rockies, however, did not. :( +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! Niccole

Halloween Chlg - Day 9: Oct 24 check in
Only 1 week left of this challenge! How's it going??? I rode my bike for 30 minutes last night while I watched The Biggest Loser and got a good workout. The sweat was pouring off of me! Didn't get a FitTV workout in as my son slept with me while my hubby is out of town (and the only tv in the house is in our room). I'll…

Halloween Chlg - Day 8: Oct 23 check in
Yesterday I got in a 25 minute Carribean Workout from FitTV. I erased it after I was done as the moves were much too complicated for me but I kept moving and felt like I got a good workout despite it not being exactly what they were doing. I've got a number of other FitTV programs on the Tivo so I'll try another one of…

Halloween Chlg - Day 7: Oct 22 check in
Wow! Day 7 of the challenge already! I haven't missed a day yet - challenges are good for me, I guess! Only 9 more days on this challenge - YOU can do it! :) Anyway, did a hard 30 minutes on my bike yesterday. My bike is in front of some glass double doors in my room so it was actually quite pretty to ride with the snow…

Updating profile?
So, when I started here I was pretty much non active, which is the information I entered in my profile when I joined 5 weeks ago. Now, I exercise every day. Do I need to go back in and update that information or do I just keep going forward with my initial settings? Thanks! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! Niccole

Halloween Chlg - Day 6: Oct 21 check in
The ONLY reason I got on my bike for 30 minutes last night was because I joined this challenge... We got home late and I was SO tired but I accepted the challenge and didn't want to not meet it. So, I guess it's a good thing we have this here! Might need to start a new challenge when this one is done to go until…

Halloween Chlg - Day 5: Oct 20 check in
Anyone out there today? I got in my 30 minutes on the bike yesterday - although it took me a few sessions as my 10 month old thought it was really fun to crawl over and unplug the bike. Gotta love 'em! :) +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! Niccole

Halloween Chlg - Day 4: Oct 19 check in
I did it! I FINALLY was able to do the Cardio Kickboxing dvd that I got from the library. I'd have to say it was fairly high impact - much more than I've been doing, that's for sure! And, with a few modifications for my ankle (I can't do jumping jacks, just did bouncing squats while moving my arms, and couldn't jump rope…

Exercise Calories
For those of you that are doing LOTS of exercise, are you eating all of the calories you earn from it? I am struggling with that as I have to work to eat the calories I earn from my 30 minute bike rides. Some nights I could fit in more exercise but I don't know how I'd eat the calories I earn without resorting to junk just…

Halloween Challenge: Cardio 30 Min/Day - Day 2 Check In
Hope I'm not stepping on any toes but since a new check in post hasn't been started for today I thought I'd go ahead and do it... I did 35 min on my stationary recumbent bike last night. I'd planned to give the cardio kickboxing dvd that I got from the library a try but wanted to watch the biggest loser and I could ride…

Discouraged today...
Okay, so I did GREAT my first 2 weeks - lost 10 lbs. I understand that some of it's water weight and such. I was VERY happy with the number though. Today, the end of week 3, I got on the scale and lost NOTHING! Not even a half a pound! I went over calories last weekend but did track everything. The rest of the week I was…

1 week down... time for an introduction!
Well, I made it a week and lost 6 1/2 lbs! WOW! I think I'll stick around this site for awhile! I'm being very deliberate about my exercise and sticking to eating the 1200 calories plus any earned for exercising - plus or minus a few. One of the areas I'm also paying attention to is sodium as I have high blood pressure -…
