Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

Did week2day2 of c25k last night. My knees were trashed afterwards but I took some Advil and iced them, feeling much better today. I am taking the day off and finishing week 2 tomorrow. Keep it up ladies!!!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

30 day shred continues-24 days straight!

I ordered cardio max DVD. After 30 days I am going to alternate 30 day shred and cardio max.

I know I've said this already this week but I want to keep throwing it out the the universe: I am very nervous about my WW weigh in on Sunday. I have been PERFECT this week. If I am not down (and BIG) I am going to throw myself out a window.

As for me (AFM), I did W1D2 of c25k yesterday and MANNN that is so intense! I started off with my legs/calves/ankles already burning from day 1, but I pushed through it and did it! My face is BRIGHT RED like this guy afterward for so long! Even after a cold shower!! My body is definitely feeling it from this workout, but I'm really trying to stick with it. I'm super nervous for week 2! I can barely make it through week 1!

I want SOMETHING. DH and DD had leftover carvel icecream cake. I passed on it but it was so hard

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

Okay, so I did 30ds only once...how on EARTH do you do it on consecutive days when you are so sore your range of motion is SHOT? I think I'm even more sore, 2 days after the fact. I haven't felt like this in YEARS. Maybe because I used to work out six days a week and this is the first workout I've had since...oh...probably a year & a half now!

So seriously, those that did 30ds, did you just keep at it, no matter how damn sore you were and how little you could really move without pain? I feel like I need to recover before I can go back to it...and back when I worked out I always took a day off in between when I did weights, especially if I was sore. I'm just not used to being sore from HEAD TO TOE!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

Note to self...DO NOT go for a long walk with DS while wearing flip flops...it was too hot for sneakers and now I'm paying for it! My calves are KILLING me!!!!

Not successful in the smoking area (again)...I seriously need to stop and I know I do, I just am having a REALLY hard time! I will again attempt tomorrow...wish me luck!

Week 2 of C23K this week...so far so good!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

God give me strength! I m in Hershey right now and Im so tempted. Ive been really good with meals (except on a reststop over here I had McDs, but I had a nugget happy meal so I didnt have AS much) then today we spent day one at Hershey and I totally caved and had a hershey chocolate shake...I HAD TO! Im going to regret this when I get back. I havent been running or workingout bc the gym in the hotel grosses me out and their is no place to run otherwise.

The good news is tomorrow is TWO weeks smoke free!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 25 members! Mommies, check in for Week One please

6/7. Week 1

Lost exactly 4 Lbs
on 1st week

Diet: WW

1st day, I had ice cream and it blew 23 points by itself. I did not make the same mistake for the rest of the week. I had about 19.5 pts left of my "extra allowance" (because of the icecream). Made sure not to use the rest.

Had to adjust my daily point allowance. I had signed up as "mostly sitting" when in fact that was not the case this week at all.

LOTS of cooking. Trying to cook chicken for several meals. Easier that way.


Workout:

No "real" workout per se but MAJOR gardening. 1.5-2 hours or more everyday. Weeding and digging! Sweated for sure!! Accumulated LOTS of activity points on top of activy for my work.

Did not use any of my activity points (58 pts) for the week.


DH is doing it WW with me. It helped a lot to stay on target.

Week 1 -

Zero loss. I'm ok with this, as I only started my diet in earnest yesterday . But I am super motivated now and hoping for a good loss this week.

Workouts - I am up to week 2 day 3 of C25K, but my knees are really really bad right now. I did 25 minutes on the elliptical Saturday and 1.5 hours of gardening/planting yesterday. I need to take a break from impact stuff for a few more days I think and see if my knees improve. Hoping to resume running on Thursday (?).

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 27 members! WEEK TWO CHECK IN TODAY 6/7!

Week 2, and I am happy to report:

Body-down 4.2 this week!!!

Endurance -Able to get through 30 day shred-it's work but I get through it.

Diet Progress - I'm on WW, I've been on it since Feb and have lost 28.2 total. I do indulge, but since I am really obsessed with weight loss right now, my indulgences are small.

Workout Progress - tonight is day 29 or 30 day shred. I ordered biggest loser Cardio Max. Once that comes, I plan to alternate between the 2 DVDs.

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 27 members! WEEK TWO CHECK IN TODAY 6/7!

Body: down 3.8 pounds
Endurance: getting better, plan on working a little hard this week!
Diet Progress: need to be a little stricter with snacking but all in all my eating has gotten better, i am eating more fruits and veggies now.
Workouts: prefer not to answer Still waiting for my DVD to come in teh mail!

Re: *THE OFFICIAL MOMMY MAKEOVER CHALLENGE! now with 27 members! WEEK TWO CHECK IN TODAY 6/7!

My WI is tomorrow morning, but I'm not hopeful. I weighed myself this morning & it showed me up one lb. I went to a bridal shower yesterday & blew it. The good food I limited myself on, but then I went overboard with the desserts that weren't that great. A huge kick in the azz for me.

Anyway - tonight was a video - Jiggle Free Arms. Got through it ok. Missed when I knew all the steps - I'll get there again.

Tomorrow I'm suppose to start w2d1 of c25k, but I think I'm going to repeat week one - I'm probably the only person in the world to repeat it, but I want to feel comfortable & I just don't yet.
