I have seen the June challenge and will be doing that one. Some kind of fitness log / challenge would be great as at the moment I'm finding it hard to train specifically for the 10K on my own (yet I'm fine getting myself to classes at the gym!)

I put up a new challenge to continue on from this one. Do you want a special fitness challenge too since we are both aiming for 10k runs? Or I could just start a thread for a fitness log.

That is fantastic Fiona!! I haven't done my measurements yet but don't think I will have done very well judging by my 'progress' but we shall see. It's my brother's wedding in 9 weeks on Saturday, and I am starting to train for Wetherby 10K in september. Will you be doing another challenge that may help me between now and the wedding?!? :-) Something needs to change with me to drop those last few pounds, just not sure what!

I just had a look at my stats for the beginning of this challenge and, although I didn't think I'd done very well, I actually haven't done too badly. So, I thought I'd post them here.

Start Finish
Weight - 11 stone 1.5lbs 11 stone 0.25lbs
Measurements:
Waist: 30" 29"
Hips: 42" 42"
Chest: 36" 37.25"
Arms: 13"(R) 12.5"(L) 13"(R) 13"(L)
Calfs: 15.25"(R) 15.25"(L) 15"(R) 15"(L)

So, I have lost 1.25lbs as well as more or less maintaining my measurements.

Aargh! I'm late again, sorry!

Week 8 (24/5-30/5) - same as week 6. At the end of the week, take your measurements if you took them at the beginning to see how far you've come.

I am aiming for 250 minutes of exercise but will not be doing the rest of this week's challenge as I have a lot of stuff going on at home right now.

Best of luck for the final week.

Aargh! I'm late again, sorry! I can't believe we are in week 7! We are going to continue with week 6 for points etc but add a bonus 5 if you manage to complete this week's bonus challenge.

Week 7 (17/5-23/5) - update your SparkPage/write a blog

I am aiming for 300 minutes of exercise this week as I walked to the hospital and back yesterday for 110 minutes worth!

I gave up on last week as I had a migraine on Friday and then didn't touch the computer again until yesterday.

Best of luck for the next two weeks. We are nearly there and then I'll think of something for June, or we can continue this challenge for fitness and nutrition.

Went over calories yesterday :-( and will be going over again today (my sister is leading me astray!)

Tuesday: didn't log; exercise - 80 minutes (walked in to town and back with Adam); freggies - 3; water - 6 = 25
Wednesday: logged; calories - 1460 (in range, whoop!); exercise - 45 minutes; freggies - 4; water - 8 = 23
Thursday: logged; not in range (about 300 over); no exercise; freggies 5; water - 9 = 15

I'm very late this week, I'm so sorry. The weekend got away from me with working a later shift on Saturday and then going out with my mum and sister on Monday before going in for an overtime shift. Anyway, better late than never:

Week 5 (3/5-9/5) - fruit and veg. Try to get your 5 a day. This is on top of the previous 4 weeks of logging, staying in range, exercise and water.

I'll update how I am doing tomorrow during my lunch break at work.

Week 4 (26/4-2/5) - This is the week to stay in calorie range. As we are now logging every day (we will be, won't we?) you will have a better idea of what you need to do to stay close to or in your calorie range. When you log it, you tend to think about it more and your intake should have come down anyway.
Also keep exercising and drinking your water.

If you want to be able to push yourself from week to week, give yourself points - 1 point for logging, 1 point for staying in range, 1 point for each cup of water and 1 point for every 5 minutes of exercise.

At the end of the week, give yourself 5 bonus points for each of the following: logging every day, staying in range all week, drinking 8 cups of water every day and reaching your exercise goal.

Monday: logged food; stayed in range - WooHoo!; exercise - 45 min; 8 cups water = 19 points
Tuesday: logged food; stayed in range - Whoop!; exercise - 30 min; 9 cups water = 17 points
Wednesday: logged food; stayed in range, just!; exercise - 60 minutes; 9 cups water = 23 points
Thursday: logged food; didn't stay in range :-( no exercise; 8 cups water = 9 points
Friday: logged food; didn't stay in range; exercise - 20 minutes; 8 cups water (to 2.15pm)

Aargh! I start off the week with really good intentions and then lose it at the weekend!

Week 3 (19/4-25/4) - log your food and exercise and drink 8 cups (240ml) per day. Set your own target for exercise minutes and try to exceed it. Again, you don't have to stay in calorie range, just log your food!

Monday: logged food; drank all my water (8 cups); exercise - 26 minutes treadmill and 15 minutes kettlebells = 41 minutes
Tuesday: logged food; drank all my water (8 cups); exercise - 20 minutes kettlebells and 35 minutes walking = 55 minutes
Wednesday: logged food (but went over calories); drank all my water (8 cups by lunchtime!); exercise - 23 minutes swimming
Thursday: logged food; drank all my water; no exercise
Friday: logged food; drank all my water; 30 minutes swimming
Saturday: logged food; drank most of my water (6 cups); 30 minutes walking to work and back home
Sunday: didn't log food or drink water

Total exercise for the week: 179 minutes, not as much as I was hoping for. Oh well there's always week 4.

I am aiming for 250 minutes of exercise this week as well as logging everything I eat.

Week 3 (19/4-25/4) - log your food and exercise and drink 8 cups (240ml) per day. Set your own target for exercise minutes and try to exceed it. Again, you don't have to stay in calorie range, just log your food!

Monday: logged food; drank all my water (8 cups); exercise - 26 minutes treadmill and 15 minutes kettlebells = 41 minutes
Tuesday: logged food; drank all my water (8 cups); exercise - 20 minutes kettlebells and 35 minutes walking = 55 minutes
Wednesday: logged food (but went over calories); drank all my water (8 cups by lunchtime!); exercise - 23 minutes swimming
Thursday:

I am aiming for 250 minutes of exercise this week as well as logging everything I eat.
