In this blog I will show what my goals were for the challenge and how I have done. I have really enjoyed being on the Lemon Team. It is a group of very supportive people. I was so happy when I was invited to become a co-leader for the team. YAY :) I am looking forward to our Fall Challenge. GO LEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!


So here were my goals for the challenge:


Short Term Goals:

-Lose 15 pounds for the challenge
-Finish my daily exercises before Noon everyday
-Be in bed before 10:30 pm
-My kids exercise with me at least3 days a week

How did I do?

I am reallllllly hoping to lose 15 pounds .. my weigh in is in the morning. I am very close to that 15 so I think I might get it!

I did not finish my daily exercises before Noon everyday

I did not sleep well AT ALL FOR THE WHOLE CHALLENGE.. My insomnia is back.. ARGGG

THAT IS ALMOST 62 HOURS OF FITNESS IN 10 WEEKS ... WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

62 HOURS IN 10 WEEKS :) YAY!!


I only have to lose 0.6 lbs to make my 15 pound goal for the challenge.... LET'S DO IT!




I really wanted my cardio and strength training minutes to be more for week 10 but I am still pleased.

It is strange because on my Wednesday weekly weigh-ins I never had a gain.... but on my weekly Sunday weigh-ins on my spark page I have some gains. That shows you how much our weights fluctuate throughout the week.. CRAZY!

Maybe I should just weigh in on Wednesdays... lol

=============

So my overall feeling about the challenge. I feel that if my sleep was better that I would have done better on the challenge. I am still proud of myself ... The past couple of months have been super stressful.

LET'S GO LEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
