Low Carb Archive - Exercise challenge 9/3-9/9

Exercise Challenge for 9/3-9/9 Lets move that fat!!!

I am making an official cahllenge for us to help us keep and make our goals for Halloween

Let us get up and go more often. Move the fat and lets make a huge effort to rid our body of the excess.

I challenge all of us to make an effert to atleast 5 times this week to get up and do some sort of exertion, enough to make a difference. moving furniture will count, walking, exercise bike, lifting soup cans, any thing that makes an effort for you what ever it is. Things that do not count is watching the exercise(bellydancing) video:lol: and watching the neighbor do the work in his yard (unless he is really cute and has a great body then it would raise the heart rate and definatly count)

Post what you do in this forum, and if you skip a day post it anyways to let us know that you are still in!!



Me today I did nothing, I cleaned house, but that did not count.

At the gym at least 3-4 days a week, walking a bit further to the store EVERY TIME, watching that little cute thing push the mower until I can OUTDO HIM? EVERY TIME !!! :lol

Sue, I'm very committed! You and so many others have truly been amotivation! I don't want more chubby Christmas pictures with me trying to hide!

Thanks for starting this! Halloween Goal....be ready cause here I come!!

OK, I'm in. I have been very busy (read: eat whatever I want and don't exercise) since kids came back, and I need this!

Also, I expect to continue to be very busy because the Jewish High Holidays start soon, and continue (there's one about every or every other week) until around Halloween.

Just ordered some new exercise videos, but I won't wait 'til they arrive.

Just to sweeten the challenge, what do you all think of posting weekly our inches lost? (you don't have to say where they came from!) Since exercise changes our shape more than the scale numbers, this seems like a good idea.

OK Nasus, I'm in.
I know I can make it atleast 3 days while I'm at work, it's the other days I have trouble with.
I see them as my "day off" days so I find other things to do.
Guess I'll have to move all the clothes off and dust the exercise bike sitting in my room!:o

I was carless and didn't make the gym, but I walked for an hour! I don't know how far, but I WALKED instead of being pouty cause ONCE AGAIN I don't have a vehicle!!!!

But I got some excercise in!!!!! Day #1 down!!!

J

I had a bad day and I am sure glad that i got to d my exercises. I did only 16 min on the oliptical but hit over 200, I would have done 400 in 30 if i had kept on going. then ozzie worked my upper body and boy did he do a good job. If he keep this up I will have my boobs up by me ears they will be so perky:lol: :lol: in my dreams, I just want them off my waist!!!:lol: :lol:

I did my challenge for today!

I did a 25 minute aerobics video this morning and plan to do an hour one after work tonight. If I have time (doubtful) & it's not raining I'll try for a walk after dinner.

bes - I like your idea of posting inches lost!

Jennifer

I'm in! The Halloween goal will be that much easier! Positive thinking!!!!
I made it to Curves everyday last week, and will be there again this week. When its closed on Sunday I'll be on my friend the treadmill, no not my life the real machine!!
I'm also swimming everyday in my new pool...
DH is getting up everyday at 5:00 to jog in the pool and do laps, so I told him I'd get up early and do his eggs!!
Soooo much better to move the fat when he is too!!

My boys start Tennis class at the Y today so I will be working out in the exercise room during the hour.

jenny :smug:

I'll do more walking AND jiggling!

I was hoping Susie would be back from Illinois by now (SHE has a car!) so we would hit the gym. But she's not coming back until this weekend so I'll just have to keep jigglin' at home until them!

You Houston girls feel some windows shaking....don't worry, it's just me doing my Latin Jiggle tape!!! :lol:

Looks like a no exercise day for me today. Had a late night last night so couldn't wake up for my morning tape, and I have a class tonight so won't be able to do a tape or go to Curves after work.

I promise not to make this a habit :D

Jennifer

So I started out to walk and had this dark cloud following me!!! It won out and I headed back home. DS has all the wires going everywhere to the surround sound system and VCR's, DVD's, etc....couldn't figure it out so I could do my Latin Jiggle, SO, I mopped my floors! My den is 25x25, kitchen/brkfast area about 25x10, plus the hall and entry! I turned on the music and MOPPED! TWICE! It may be crazy but I mopped for about 40 minutes! Okay, so the rain and no car is getting to me....but I MOPPED !!! :lol:

Did you get your excercise in? COME ON CHICKS! WE'RE ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR GOAL !!!

J

Can you picture this chubby little white chick swingin' around the house dancing to "Rockin'Robins" with that darn mop? Oy!

Mamma J...I hate to mop, I mean I HATEEEE it! Want to come on over??
Yes, I made it to Curves today. So far I've been everyday except the days they have been closed. Yesterday they started a 30 day challange and anyone that signed on got the Curves weight loss book. I read it last night, pretty interesting...
So is doing the 30 minutes at Curves enough?? I also do loads of floor excersises before I leave, so I'm usually there over an hour (sometimes I go around more then 3X) But I still feel like now that I am doing something, I should be doing more!! Don't really have time, but I'd like to.
Maybe I could mop??:smug:

All day long, moppin' and a dancin' and singing this song...
All the little chickies at 3fc are moppin' and a singin' along with thee ~~~~ Moppin' chickie
TWEET TWEET TWEET ~~~ Moppin' chickie! TWEET TWEET

Mop little chickie and shake that fat off tonite! TWEET TWEET



:lol:

HEY !!! EVERY BIT OF "MOVEMENT" COUNTS !! LET'S GET SHAKIN' CHICKS!!

McMom, Glad you're enjoying Curves so much.

I hate to mop too. As a matter of fact, the main reason I have a cleaning lady is so that I don't have to mop!

Jennifer

ROTFLMAO Oh dear you can mot my floor anytime I just get to watch OK???

I was at the gym and saw Ozzie. I tild him I needed to be harb body by the end of the mongh can I do it. he started to figutre if i spend about 90 min daily 60 in cardio and 30 in weight lifting and atw only 100 cal and had so much protein i could do it then he asked why.

I told him th eend of the month i was going to start to dance and sell my body as i was out of work. he laughed and then i tole him that i did not have much rhythm and the reply was they are not lookingfor rhythm:lol: :lol:

but i did 25 min on the oliptical and then 25 hard crunches

curves count and so does jiggling everything counta as long as you are doing it!!! :o

Sue~~Ok, you did 50 minutes and not 90~~does that mean we're still worried about having rhythm???? lol

Jennifer~~You CANNOT watch! I'm very shy (not that you can tell here!) AND I don't do windows! BUT I GOT RHYTHM !! I'd better hush, she doesn't live too far from me!

J

PS~~You shoulda seen me dancing to "Just swingin'"! I'm SURE that was a sight! But I was movin and a groovin! :o

Janice we must go dancing some time LOL

Am I in the right place???? ME? On the exercise thread?

Walked 3 miles today!!!! Now I am going to check myself into Jiff's room...Man! am I out of shape!!!

Nice to see the age old practice of the rhythm method is still being used!!!! :lol:


peach

Peach You out did me. I just played on the floor with a baby all day today and have the same thing planned for tomorow and monday!!! Whoo Hoo over 3 miles!!!

Can't believe I am on here two days in a row!

Walked another 3 miles! Is it possible to pull boob muscles while you are walking??? They are killing me!!! :o :o :o


Playing with babies on the floor is good exercise Susan!:)

peach

Peachie - wear a bra to stop stomping on them! Actually, unless your bra gives good firm support, your boobs can ache from the motion. Wanna borrow the metal one?
I am certainly not caught up with you exercise chicks but did walk a mile today with Hershey plugging along beside me.

and I'm embarressed! I've been doing so good, but I couldn't even dance with the mop today! lol

But tomorrow is a better day! I guess I'll have to do double time! Maybe I'll get brave enuff to take DH dancing! Yea right!!

I've still got a few hours before the end of the day, I'll try and get something in....cause....I'VE BEEN SO DETERMINED!!!

Well, I did dance and jiggle with my GD last night, so at least I worked up a bit of a sweat! lol

Today I have to stay home with the painters but I'm going to push mow the front and back yards. We have a huge lot, so that's got to be at least a mile if not more going in all those circles! :spin:

Feeling pretty good. A pair of shorts that was feeling a bit snug Monday was a bit looser yesterday, so, something is kicking in!

J

WHOOOO HOOOOO janice way to go. the dancing does a body great. I may be dancing for food the end of the month and a bit of fun:o only kidding. You go girl you are really riping the weight off!!!

Peach well if youswing your arms then why not use boob muscles. the walks are great, I am so glad that you are here in this forum, did you do your kegels?? that counts!!:lol:

Ruth the mile counts as there is many more than two walking!!:D

As for me I did 15 min on the oliptical on friday and 25 crunches on the ball

today i did 30 on the oliptical and hit 430 cals, the worked out with my cabana boy!!!OMG he id d get me going hard, arms stomach, legs all the above!!! One of these days!!:s:

The Cabana boy is wearing on me. I did the eliptical again and hit 430 cal in 30 min then did 60 crunches on the ball, my gut hurts!!! but i am going to be in size 12 by Halloween. I swear that i would be in 14's now but my gut so i need to really concentrate on that!!! way to go girls. tomorow I will add this to the success challenge.

Oh by the way bellydancing starts tomorow!!! WHOOO HOOO I can not wait.
