I just wanted to check in and say hello to everyone. I'm thrilled to be apart of this challenge and looking forward to working together as a team. YEAH!!! Currently we are moving and at my new home our Internet is not hooked up yet so if I'm not posting often that is why!

Good evening all.
Thanks for the comments about me going back to college. I suppose I didn't think of it as something huge, but I suppose it is since it can be life changing. Anyway, I just came back from a walk after not working out all day. It feels so good just to do something easy and relaxing like walking. Quote:

1. What would you like us to call you?
Ann 2. What eating plan are you using? Eating mostly whole foods and semi-counting calories. I'm trying to achieve 90% clean eating, 10% indulgences. I'm also playing around with eating non-fruit and veg carbs only after I work out. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep that up. 3. What do you do for exercise? Right now I'm doing a bodyweight workout (it is killing me, I just lie there on the floor between sets it is so hard for me) followed by some intervals 3x a week. Then I try to do walk or bike on the other days. 4. What is one area you struggle with? Food and hydration. 5. Tell us something about yourself that you are most proud of...and it cant be kids or family. I am proud that I've gotten my resting heart rate down from 90-something to the low 60s. 6. Where are you from? *optional* Born in NY, lived lots of places, northern Cali now. 7. What is your FS4 challenge goal? Get to my ticker goal, 126. |

I look into the window of my mind Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind I step out of the ordinary I can feel my soul ascending I am on my way Can't stop me now And you can do the same What have you done today to make you feel proud? It's never too late to try What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people If you make that break for freedom What have you done today to make you feel proud? Still so many answers I don't know Realise that to question is how we grow So I step out of the ordinary I can feel my soul ascending I am on my way Can't stop me now And you can do the same What have you done today to make you feel proud? It's never too late to try What have you done today to make you feel proud? You could be so many people If you make that break for freedom What have you done today to make you feel proud? We need a change Do it today I can feel my spirit rising We need a change So do it today 'Cause I can see a clear horizon What have you done today to make you feel proud? So what have you done today to make you feel proud? 'Cause you could be so many people If you make that break for freedom So what have you done today to make you feel proud? What have you done today to make you feel proud? What have you done today You could be so many people? Just make that break for freedom So what have you done today to make you feel proud? |

Hi girls (are we all girls?)
I had a GREAT weigh in week so, it's going to be a good start for us! Woot! Off to go walk to the Post Office! -Muse |
Yup, I'm pretty sure we're all girls! :D At least I hope so cause some of the TMI stories that come out here would not be fun for a guy! LOL
A GREAT weigh in, huh? Awesome! I can't wait to see what we all do this week!! Fun! Fun! Hope your walk was a good one! Way to hot here to walk on purpose outside! :cool: ♥danielle |
Alright Red Team...what did you do today for yourself and your team's success?! Thought I was gonna say something else didnt you? LOL! Seriously, when you work for your team you are the ultimate winner!
What did I do today? I rode my bike to class instead of driving. It was rough! Took me 45 minutes but I did it!! There you go RED team...my present to you for today! |
Just get it done...you got it!! ;) Pretty motivating words actually, another song I really like is K T Tungstall, Suddenly I see. I dont know why but that song always gets me motivated to make good choices.
Muse...WAY TO GO!!!!! Excellent weighins make me happy! LOL!! Way to go on that walk to the post office too!! You've got success written all over you! Danielle....LOL...TMI stories, oh if this keyboard could talk huh? LOL! Hope everyone is having a fantastic day!! Still have a number of our team members who have not posted with us!!! guess I'll have to PM them huh? LOL!! ~melissa |
Just get it done--You sound like me. I get going fast and burn myself out so I will definitely be keeping an eye on that during this challenge.
I have got to get some exercise in at some point today. I'm thinking stability ball with weights. |
I can't believe it's Monday already. The days seem to go by fast, yet the scale tends to remain the same weight. I don't feel like working out today. I walked around a few stores with my sister looking for a cheap washer and dryer, that should account for something. Maybe I'll just have a rest day and then rev it up tomorrow.

So...anyone have any ideas about a group challenge?

We are gonna do Red Wins for Week 2, then I'm sure we'll probably do one with the blue team after that. No confirmations on that though, we can certainly get ideas to do one of our own.

Thanks for the gift Melissa! :D
Hhhmm, what have I done for the team??........*thinking*......... well, I've eaten clean all day, drank about 80 oz of water, and am going to do a BL workout (or attempt it, anways..I'm outta shape! lol), after dinner. Does that work? :smug: I rather liked the RED WINS challenge last time, good choice. No ideas what to do after that, tho. Perhaps someone will come up with something brilliant! Pretty please? :^: |

Angela- Top of your class WITH two little ones. That is amazing. Today, for my team, I ran two miles. And by ran, I mean I shuffled and wheezed my way through two miles. The heat and humidity of August made it easy to exchange running for air conditioning but NO MORE. I'm turning old on Wednesday (24) and my parents are taking me out to a fondue restaurant tomorrow night. So I'm going to wake up early, do a little yoga, eat especially clean all day, and enjoy every sinful calorie tomorrow night:) Then straight back on the wagon Wednesday (well, on the wagon with a little bit of birthday cake!) Hope my red team had a marvelous Monday! |

Hey everyone, I have no idea what the Red Wins challenge is, but I know I am challenging myself to get in 10 to 12 miles of walking a week.
I'm afraid I didn't do much of anything positve today except rid myself of some very negative people from my life. It's been a very stressful past 5 to 7 days, I slept all of 4 hours last night and it caught up with me today. I did good to be able to walk to the bathroom. That's how tired I am. Mentally & Physically. :( Fixing to head off to bed after Fat March, if I make it that long. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day... |
