Day 8 - done
did some weights and a 30 min. walk. Leigh won't take a nap, so we are off to walk before I have to meet James at his bus stop. Weather appears to be clearing up I'm glad I got my walk in when I did yesteday. We had lightning and thunder in the late afternoon - very impressive.
Good luck with your challenges today, Marti and Susan -
Did some walking, some faster walking, even some almost running! Walked at the school to avoid the rain...I was running late so I was practically in a run and running in clunky boots don't particarly go well for me!
Then James and I went to the mall (pretty much before anything opened since I got out of class early) and walked and walked and walked!!
Barely - huff huff. Leigh wouldn't nap, so there went my opportunity to do a video. We just managed to squeeze in a 30 minute walk before heading to the bus stop. Whew!
another rainy day - hope baby sleeps today

Hello Everyone, My name is Deb and MNJ told me about your boards. I am 49, single and want to lose weight~ My SW was 263, CW 261.5, GW 140. I just started my exercising and dieting Monday June 7. My 21 Day Challenge will be to do my 8 Minutes in the Morning exercises and walk 1.5 miles (2 laps) at our park, every day. I hope to learn more about each of you soon. MNJ and I have emailed each other a couple of times. I need all the support I can get. Thanks and good luck to all
Welcome, Deb! My challenge is to exercise everyday. Today is proving to be a tough one, but you reminded me about 8 minutes in the morning, so I'm going to do that. I'l try to go for a walk after dinner tonight for some more.
I hope this challenge helps keep the motivation going. I know it works for me, although I think I need to really up the routine to more exercise. Or more time spent on exercising. Not sure.
And don't feel that you only have to do an "exercise" challenge. You can choose whatever you feel you need to work on, such as :less sweets, more water, more veggies, eating breakfast....anything.
I hope you can join us on the chitchat thread too. There are more girls yappin there who haven't joined the challenge thread and they would love to get to know you more too!
hello ladies
Im also here bc Marti told me about this challenge. I am a 26 yr old woman who is desperatly trying to lose a total of 25lbs by sept 11(5ye anniversary) bc I am going on vacation on sept 13th.
My 21 day challenge is to walk or exercise.Iguess that means if it rains I can do a workout tape at home right. I plan to walk at least 2 miles a day
good luck to all and keep up the good work ladies. Keep your fingers crossed for me
I feel like a recruiter!! I sure hope I haven't sounded like one!
PRG...Glad to see you join our challenge!! I think the more the merrier! Plus, I believe it helps us all keep motivated and get our bodies going and doing the right thing!!
My day went ok. I sat around, laid around, moped around .....then snapped out of it and did some squats! And I ache!!
So....
Day 3 completed!!
Once again....welcome to both Deb and PRG<-- (not sure if you want to use your name or not)
DAY 4 OF CHALLENGE (Even though I just joined you all yesterday I am counting my days since my start date of June 7!) Today I completed my exercises and walk. Feeling good!!!!
Day 9 done!
Managed to get some weight work done while watching Reagan being transferred to the rotunda. Now the challenge begins for me. My son finished school yesterday and DH has a few day to go (he's a teacher) so the schedules are shifting and this is whe I usually mess up whatever plan I'm trying to follow. Today I'll either do a video during DD's nap, walk, and make DS come ( not a great option), or walk after dinner when DH is home. So.....here goes
Have a great day and I'll check back tomorrow!
Deb - good job- like the weight toss
PRG - welcome - that is one cute baby!
MArti - hi and good job. Yesterday was upper body and crunches for me, today is my turn to do those squats - ugh....
RosieKate
today is my first day of the challenge and i can't walk after work bc it looks like it is going to pour hard so looks like I am going to have to workout at home. I have WATA tape and also have slim in 6.
Thank you ladies for accepting me in your group
Marti it is ok to say my name, ain't no shame in my weight..lol. For all of you my real name is Jennie
RosieKate- thank you(about the baby) she is an angel, she is my god daughter she is my little butterball..lol
Did some crunches and some other leg workout. Want to trim up a bit. Wonder when it will actually show on the scale???
Deb--I was going to mention earlier that since you have already started that you should start the day on what ever day it was...(did that make sense?) any how, you already did it!! And good for you. You're going to do great!! Just keep coming back and we'll root for you the whole way!!
RosieKate--Do you still have rain?? We sure do, but I hear that it's suppose to clear up soon. Good for walking!!
Jennie--Great day one for you!! I think doing tapes when it rains outside is a great way to get exercise in. I love to do pilates....get's me all stretched out and limber... but I hear it can really tighten up muscles...right now, my VCR is not hooked up!! So I try to just remember what I've seen. (I think I'm better off waiting for DH to hook it back up!!)
Scuzin--Where are you girl?? How's the water coming? I REALLY need to do that for the next challenge!! It is one of the BIGGEST helps in my weightloss....so I have not no idea why I don't keep up with it!!
Day 10, done!
Ended up walking for 45 minutes, hope to do the same sometime today.
Marti - great job on the legs - I was going to do that yesterday, but it didn't happen - maybe today
Deb, Jennie, Scuzin - Have great day and good job on those goals!
Cheers

Day 5 and exercises have been completed....busy day today though cant stay on net. I did splurge on a mocha frappachino though... Have been craving one for weeks and broke down today and got me a small one. But it was sooooo good. lol Have a great weekend everyone, I will be out of town for a couple of days to see mom

Reason: forgot my weight toss lol
There are ways around the calories of mocha fraps....
scoop of vanilla protein powder, cold coffee, cocoa, and sweetner...ice cubes and blend...yummy!
