Jeanettey's Mid-week challenge

"IN THE CORE NOW"

Supermans - crunches (any sort) - planks - side planks - rotating core lunges.

Again I will let you decide how many or how long to do the exercises in order to challenge yourself.

You have until Friday to complete the challenge. Go for it!!!

Evening everyone;

Up at 5:20 AM . . . crunches, butt-er lifts, dips and dead lifts done, shower and then work. Finished work, grocery store, home, cooked supper and now it's storming outside . . . OH YEAH . . . time for a run!!

POKEY AND GUMBY MEET

POOPIN' ZUCCHINI

It's a good thing I wasn't sippin' coffee or anything else . . .



Later, after a run and a shower . . .

Sorry I missed weigh in Sunday, my trip went a little over what I thought it would. Lots of hiking, swimming, walking and... junk eating. ><
I will admit to trying taffy, we saw some people making it and it was so cool, I tried some and it was AMAZING! I tried all the flavors, and I don't feel guilty. It's not every day you get to see people make taffy and try taffy flavored as "jalapeno" or "banana coffee."
Most of my trip I would eat fruit, veggies or something healthy. At rest stops I would get a cup of fruit and tea instead of soda and chips. So, for the most part I was good, but I don't really feel bad for the days I was at a resteraunt that had weird foods, amazing looking foods, or just something freaking yummy. I was on vacation! I indulged, I savored, then I swam for a few hours. I don't know if I gained weight, I'll weight myself on Sunday and report in... I do know I got off plan. There was a day of all driving and no exercise. There was a day I know I went over 1600 calories. >.>
So, I'm dropping out of the 100 day challenge. I know I won't stick to 100 days with holidays coming up... and I know I didn't stick to it for the trip. =/
Back on target today, ate healthy and am starting over on the SHRED (again).
I'm starting the C25K once the weather isn't so evil and HOT! I also am checking out my Gym on Thursday! YAYNESS!

Good evening everyone. I hope everyone had an excellent day. I weighed in this morning at 166...soo..I think I'm down 1.8 for the week. My complete lack of appetite and anxiety is "helping" that a bit. I brought Poncho to the vet today and found out he was full of hookworms. He presented like a parvo case but tested negative (phew!). He's a super sick little boy but he's home taking in the second bag of fluids. He's got a huge heart to still be alive (thats my man).

Anyway, overall the day was good (finding out he's not a parvo puppy). No workout today but I'll make up for it tomorrow. Gonna be another allnighter.

jeez sarge..not vocal for a few weeks, and im tossed aside ~ d*mn lol

well I cant keep up with all the chatter, cuz hay working out is priority ;P lol

jeanetty...GREAT core routine! Im in and ta rub in sarges face~i'll start now hehehehe

Good luck Me1st! Luckily for Sarge, the challenge Jeanettey put out there is exactly what Sarge has been doing day and and day out to stay ahead of HARDCORE CHICK on fitocracy....buwhahahaha....

Ok, so I got lost on the way to the mess tent, tangled myself up in the rope wall so badly it took an entire Boy Scout troop to undo the knots, dropped my cell phone in the latrine and broke a tank. AAAARGH!

k3ll3y: loved the photo expose of gumby, but I still think that whole steroid thing was blown way outa proportion, don't you?

Sarge: about the tank -- do you take American Express?

DZackery: I am so glad your little Poncho is doing better. He sounds adorable!

Jeanettey: What a great set of exercises! I hereby offer a challenge to the whole platoon to beat me in minutes in that first exercise ...um, what? ... there are TWO parts to it?...it isn't just lying on the floor with your arms extended? ... platoon? never mind.

MadamButterfly: The reason you think of all those strange images is because you are standing too close to Reso's microwave! Seriously! All those ... um... little tiny wave thingies act like a TV broadcasting station and you are the perfect receiver! Now, the REAL question is what are all those crazy images doing in the microwave in the first place, hmmmm?

Josey: Love your attitude! No way are you going to stay stalled with all that energy going on! Keep kicking butt and the butts WILL leave!

Envelope: Good luck with your run --- sounds completely awesome! I can't personally imagine doing that, but you know we will all be on the sidelines screaming for you! (or in Sarge's case, possibly screaming AT you ) (By the way, what is "PITA" as in the scale is a PITA?)

Iamerican: HELLO! God, it's great to see you! I feel like a hamster at a capybara convention. And look at what you are getting up to these days --- a double workout! YOU are certainly going to make your pledge!

HotPinkHoldEm: Welcome to the mayhem. Sorry you are feeling so yucky right now -- have you been standing near Resolute's microwave? --- and I hope this really is just a 24 hour thing.

AnonymouslyYours: Awwwww! A new puppy! What a perfect workout tool --- no way you can skip a run with a dog in the house. Just ask DZackery.

SMSDreamer: Well, hi there, stranger! Good to see another familiar face. By the way, the Whoosh Fairy (who is my second cousin on my other mother's side) called to tell me that your request has been processed and you should be receiving your whoosh in the next coupla days.....

rainbowsmiles: Bringing up the rear? LOL oh, my dear --- I am so far back here that I am in danger of being lapped! And if the fat goes slow or it goes fast isn't near as important as that is just GOES. Congratulations on your husband's job --- but it sounds like some there's some chaos in your future? That plan of yours about eating and exercise just went from important to vital. Keep us posted!

pokeycactus: OUCH!!! But wait --- maybe we can use this force for good! If you strapped the cactus spines to your workout clothes and then rolled over pounds of fat.....

kittykat: sounds like you had a great ride, but I don't envy you the sunburn. And your trainer wasn't being sadistic, he/she was under orders from sarge to play havoc with your burn; SARGE is sadistic!

Resolute: You biked/walked 21 miles IN ONE DAY on a day where you also worked a normal shift?? Seriously?? I am hoping to walk 21 miles this WEEK --- lol! By the way, central command wanted me to inform you that your microwave has been partially commandeered for some black ops things. If you should hear Russian or Klingon issuing from it, back walk away slowly.

rmc: Congratulations on that 30 minute run! I am struggling with walking, so I find your athleticism very inspiring. And it's nice to know that if we run out of fat-killing ammo, we can just send you out alone to run them down, literally!

peanut: keep up with the posts??? bwah-ha-ha-ha! there's a bajillion soldiers in this platoon and half of them are in camo so you can't even see them! And I think Sarge has a twin --- you know, that lady in the white gauzy dress with her eyes rolled back in her head who floats around base about 2 feet above the ground? Scary!

chickadee: all your lemon cheesecake are belong to us..... hey, I'm serious here!

cheshirecat: loved the poster this am! In fact, one the great pleasure of reading through this thread has been the posters you provide. so, thanks!

Mefirst: The picture of that creature that bears some small resemblance to a human male? ick. But as to the unfortunate reduction to your "girls", I am more than happy to share! I can give you half of what's restrained by my over the shoulder boulder holder and you would be totally boobilicious!

Riestrella: A half marathon sounds pretty intense --- but what a cool way to motivate your training. Again, I am just so impressed by all the runners here. I can't keep up, but I am cheering your from the back of the troops!

Celrae: You don't have "funk", darlin', you have FUNKY! Time to get in touch with your diva side!

kurisitara: Sounds like you had a marvelous vacation! With all the exercise you got and the fact that you made lots of good choices for food, I bet your weigh in will be fine! So, what did you bring us?

Down .5 and technically OP for the last 2 days, but my mind seems to have run away and left no forwarding address --- I feel like I am going through the motions. I will make serious efforts to actually sleep tonight and see if that helps.

Everyone have a great Wednesday --- isn't Wednesday officially "hump" day? Hmmmm....

Oh --- I forgot. There was a special delivery for Reso while the platoon was attaching those lasers to the sharks' heads --- I was still in the barracks because I thought there would be an actual foot in my foot locker and if I were taller .. oh, just never mind! Evidently, reso wasn't comfy with the stilletos, so the quartermaster ordered up some new digs for his dogs:



Is that better, reso? Cool.

MadamButterfly:We cant be far away from each other. I grew up on the MN/WI border as well. I am going to school in the Twin Cities now.

Skinny: Is your phone ok? Put it in a bowl of rice to help it dry out.

HOldEmPink: i hope you feel better!

Someone has a lot of time on their hands, Umm... not sure about the hello kitty theme, it's cute and all but, well you know i have been called metro sexual, i suppose i am a little but only because its nice to be able to dress with some decorum and not like a slob.


I prefer my black shoes with red racing laces ( bling ) myself. You caught me on a day when i'm feeling slightly better, might be the rye's and diet coke i'm currently partaking so that means i am BBQ'ing meat, Mmmmm... meat.

Took it a little easier today, walked after work my 6.2 added to my 3 on the bike gives me a measly 9.2 today, oh well need a little respite from full out today i think, might even have a bath later on and soak, currently watching "Outlander" as well, god i love this unknown movie, probably the 10th time i've watched it now.

Haven't posted a picture of me at 191 pounds yet so here's one now, and i'll throw in a picture i've posted before, still it's good to compare then and now once in a while, damn... embarrasing but still reality and accountable to keep from ever slipping into the abyss again.

Oh yeah had to put a new hole in my belt, something that boggles my mind as the belt is from my younger days, so i am actually slimmer now then i have been in my entire adult life or close to it, weird as i have a little loose skin still, although hammering away week after week seems to be slowly eating away at it, might be my imagination but i will continue to give it everything with hopes of righting past wrongs.

Skinny- HAHA thanks for the message! Hopefully it gets here soon

Reso - I cant express enough how great you are looking!! wtg on all your progress!!! and yay for loss skin tightening!

Decided to start c25k again since I didn't get to finish it last time. W1d1 complete! and for the first day this week I am not hungry after eating my 122 cals WOOT! Idk why I was soooo hungry last 2 days. Good thing My range is 1200-1500 (for those rare high days) so that I can have a bit extra and still stay on plan! Lets keep up the work troops were doing awesome!!

Awww, thanks dreamer , i simply refuse to give up, i don't know the meaning of quit any longer, BTW i've been researching cinnamon supplements, supposed to be good for PCOS, not that i know a lot about that but i've seen it mentioned as helping with weight loss, just an FYI if you didn't know already.

Reso, you look amazing!! But I think my favorite part is the SHOES! LOVE them!! haha!

Hubby surprised me with a fancy date tonight. I thought I was ordering smart... you'd think something grilled would not be swimming in BUTTER!!! But it was! Mustard-soy skirt steak (drenched), yam gratin (saturated...and guilty... but it was freaking delicious. I'm going to try to recreate it at home in a HEALTHY way!), and green and yellow beans totally swimming in butter.

I don't know... when you go to a 4-star restaurant you just expect things to be a certain way. We did split a scoop of homemade vanilla bean ice cream with fresh strawberries. Romantic and AMAZING. The "free" dessert was the best part of the overpriced meal!

Anyways, waiting till the small ones are sleeping and I'm going to take the dog for a RUN! I need to melt the butter, LITERALLY, before it gets comfortable and decides to stay around.

Can I share my mini makeover? I said I was going to dye my hair when I lost 50 pounds... well my weight loss has been CRAWLING this last 6 weeks so I decided to **** with it,I'm close enough and I needed something FUN!

Here's before:


And after:


I LOVE it! It's fun to feel fun again.

edited: If you look at my avatar pic, that was taken only "7 pounds" ago. BIG difference without much of a weight loss. That makes me happy. But I still want to see the numbers change big time again.

Looking good PacSunMama
