(3.) Brush after lunch at work - Ok, gross goal, I know. But, I brought a toothbrush to work, and it sits in my drawer more days than I like to admit! Plus, I've found that a "clean mouth" feeling somehow makes me less interested in snacking! |

Hi all! Hope everyone had a great weekend with some exercise
thrown in. For me it was an unbelievable achievement:
I lifted 20 pound dumbbells! Sure it was on a few reps for
one armed bent row and double bent row (back exer.) but
I was still lifting them. I never even thought of going this
high but for this challenge.
When you exercise regularly and consistentl you want to
increase intensity to get the workout effect.
I also did a whooping 1 hour and 45 min. workout on Saturday.
Not all at once though.
Anyway, here are my results and goals for next week...
REQUIREMENTS:
Cardio: 4 @ 5 points each - 20 points
Strength: 2 @ 5 points each = 10 points
Water: 4/7 days @ 2 points each = 8 points
Goals: Met 3/3 goals @ 5 points each = 15 points
TOTAL REQUIRMENT POINTS: 53 points
BONUSES:
Additional cardio: 2 @ 3 points each - 6 points
Additional strength: 2 @ 4 points each = 8 points
Trying a different exercise: 1 @ 2 points each = 2 points
15 minutes+ stretch: 3 @ 2 points each = 6 points
TOTAL BONUS POINTS: 22 POINTS
TOTAL POINTS: 75 points
Week 3 goals:
1. Make a big vegetable stew at least once this week.
2. Start to pay attention to how many condiments and how
much I am eating.
3. Pull in stomach 100 times a day for 5/7 days.
Well gotta go start making that gigantic veggie stew!
Have a great exercising day TLCers! |

RT - many thanks for starting up this week's thread - I got back in last night from DC and was totally wiped out, not able to do much of anything for the challenge, like start new threads... but anyways, so glad to see all the teams taking initiative. :)
My exercise week wasn't too hot/bonus-y, because I was busy and, um, preoccupied:
REQUIREMENTS:
Cardio: _4_workouts @ 5 points each = _20_points
Strength:_2_ workouts @ 5 points each = _10_ points
Water: _5_/7 days @ 2 points each = _10_ points
Goals: Met _3_/3 goals @ 5 points each = _15_ points
TOTAL REQUIREMENT POINTS: _55_ POINTS
BONUSES:
Additional cardio: _2_ @ 3 points each = _6_ points
Additional strength: __ @ 4 points each = __ points
Trying a different exercise: __ @ 2 points each = __ points
Workouts over 90 minutes: _1_ @ 5 points each = _5_ points
15-minute+ stretch: __ @ 2 points each = __ points
TOTAL BONUS POINTS: _11_ POINTS
TOTAL POINTS: _66__points
WEEK 3 goals:
1. Eat completely beachy at least 4 days this week.
2. Do another strength class at the gym, in addition to Tuesday night yoga.
(3.) Relax.
My third goal is really referring to the fact that I feel like I've been thrown into such a tizzy lately, largely because of this new dude but also because of the situation with my dad, which has been causing me some amount of stress. Thing is, this tizzy effect *always* happens to me when I start dating someone new - all of a sudden I have such little restraint. Ya dig? It's fun but it also makes me nuts. I'm so good and rationale and diligent in most other areas of my life - this is the one area where I just can't be.
And so I feel like I'm being kind of reckless and rebellious at home, with my single parent who really would do anything for me but is ultra-protective --well reckless is not what I want to be, when I actually really want to show respect. Also throwing me off me are the goings on with my grandmother and seeing my ex again this weekend after 2+ months of being away...
Okay, enough of that drama!! Who's ready for another slammin' week of the challenge. :) I promise to rack up more points this week - should be easier since I've got more nights free for the gym. I DID, however, make it to the gym this morning - 40 mins of bike and x-c ski machine. A lovely, sweaty experience all around. Don't think I'll be able to walk today at lunch - kinda misty/rainy here in Philly today.
I look forward to hearing from all of you today! :) |

kj--I totally get what you are talking about. I am like that when I meet a new guy. Swept away. I am in a new/old relationship. (Ex-boyfriend from a decade ago!) Exciting, but also consuming. |

Smurlene I am on a mission!
Someone in my exercise class today told me they could tell I've trimmed up since I joined. I've been going a little over a month. I also noticed my underwear won't stay put! Hate that feeling, but if it means my butt is shrinking - YEA!!!!! Either that or the elastic gave out and I need new ones! :?
Think our team did really well this week. Glad I'm on Team Less Cheeky! |

Hey TLC!!
Rosetrail, thanks for starting this thread! I should have done it yesterday :) . Sorry for being so late in getting to it guys - I started, and then went out for a long walk with a friend of mine.
So glad to see that everyone had such a kick a** week! I'm pretty happy with myself - if only I had made all of my goals! Well, things are definitely changing though - let's just say I have a LOT of shopping to do! And yes, I need new underwear - desperately!
Rosetrail - Brushing my teeth totally keeps me away from food! I think that's a really creative goal, and one that can help keep the afternoon munchies at bay. Keep up the good work! You did really great last week.
PP - It's so great when other people start to notice, isn't it? Congratulations! I find that my mind hasn't caught up to the fact that I have lost quite a bit of weight, and so when I hear it from others now, I almost don't even believe them sometimes! Positive reinforcement is a wonderful thing :wink: .
Smurlene - Way to go on the extra cardio, and those 90+ minute workouts again! What kind of yoga do you practice? Sounds like things are going well with your new/old boyfriend. Glad to hear it :D
Kathi - You really worked your butt off this week! I admire you for getting in the extra strength workouts. I really need to work on getting that up to 3 times per week, consistently. Keep it up!
KJ - You did really well, especially considering that you were away this weekend, and also that you're dealing with a lot family wise. Be proud of yourself! Of all the machines at the gym, I haven't tried the x-country machines - actually, there aren't too many of them around, from what I've seen. I can imagine it would be a really tough workout!
Val - I know what you mean about lifting heavier weights! One thing about working out with this trainer is that he's forced me to go to heavier weights - I didn't realize that I wasn't challenging myself anywhere near enough! It feels great to see that progression. Great job!
Nims - Hope your week went well! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Go team! Let's make this a great week! |

Great work with the weights VAL! Awesome!
I am repeating a couple of my goals this week cause I didn't do them last week! I am finding that fitting in stretching is super easy to do while I watch TV at night. I'm also trying to squeeze in a few extra pushups/squats/crunches durning ads too! So at least my veg time is not a complete waste.
GO TLC! Great work! |

cheeky--I do an eclectic mixture of yoga. I have several tapes that really work for me. In fact, my first step as a regular exerciser was yoga. I have taken a couple of classes but I find that I have trouble totally relaxing in that environment.
Today is going to be particularly challenging in terms of getting my workout in because it is raining, but I am going to pop in a yoga tape and get to it.
It is great checking in with all of you! This challenge is going so quickly! |

Hi everyone!
Last night did a video haven't done for a while again and it was easier but definitely using different muscles than just running alone (which is what I usually do) - I am sore!
Cheeky - I totally need to go shopping too! I am on the last notch of my belt (yay!), and my pants are too big. Its a great feeling cause even pants that were way too tight are now almost too big! But when do you buy clothes when you're losing weight?? I don't want to spend a bunch of $$ only to have to buy a bunch more 6 months from now! (But hey, this is a great great feeling!!!!) |
