Ebony,

You wounder how I get so much time to exercise, Well my thing is walking everyday due to having an English Springer dog that needs to run. So I take her for two 40+ min walks a day getting in about 5-6 mile myself. I walk in any weather nothing stops me or the dog. It also helps that the morning walk is with a bunch of other dog walker that I met over 10 years ago. And we tend to walk in the woods and around a lake so it is always fun to see the changes.

I am impressed that you do the video work out. I keep say to myself that I should get on the wii or pop in a video but I never do it. Maybe next challenge I will try. ( please don't hold me to that statement)

You are doing GREAT!!
Jan

Double Drat: I seem to have problems when exercising these days. Broke my toe again, and now the shoulder is going... therefore, my exercise time is now consumed with medical appointments. Arrgghh!

I just could not figure out how the leaders in points were getting 80-90 min a day... Maybe I need to be counting more of my activities instead of just my exercise videos...

Hi You Guys,

I'm sorry I must exit the challenge since I no longer qualify to be part of your team. Thank you so much for helping me lose 43 pounds! Couldn't have done it without you!!!

Hey Ebony,
I finally figured out I need to go to the Y for more exercise. So now I use the following methods.
-- Classes at the Y -- some are 45 minutes -- some are 60 mins.
-- treadmill or Elliptical at Y
-- Fitness Plus - for Wii -- at home
-- Nordic Track - at home
-- Stationary bike - at home
And last week I hit the jump rope. Wow - that was harder than I remember from grade school!

Hey Ebony!
I try to do a variety...weight lifting, elliptical, spinning, ab class (30 min core strengthening class),running, and yes, shoveling snow! When I can't get to the gym, or don't have time there, I do yoga & pilates DVD's at home. Another way I multitask, when watching movies with my daughter, I lift hand weights, use resistance bands, and do stretching exercises. Also, I schedule my exercise, like an appointment, so I keep it as a priority! I hope something here will help you!! Good luck reaching your goals!

One other time when the challenge grew too big they split it alphabetically so no one was way at the bottom. Mine is waaaay at the bottom too. That worked well for everybody too. Georgine

Hi Carol, Thanks for the suggestion. I to, am mired down with being at the bottom and trying to pick out totals etc. I was planning to do 2 threads in Jan., chatting and the other only for the formal challenge. I think all of us will have a much easier time working with it. (Amazing how we are thinking on the same track!!) I think I will post rules on both and hopefully we can keep them separate. A posting is going out to the entire team after Christmas and I will set it all up then. Thanks again for your comment.

EBONY, for your question, I personally count the minutes that I am walking. If shopping, I try to gauge the standing time for looking versus actual walking. I do exercises while sitting using the resistance band and stability ball. And of course, living in MN. where we are on the road to the snowiest fall season on record, shoveling is good cardio workouts. How about you others, what are you ideas/suggestions for EBONY?

Eileen- wondering if we could maybe have a special title when we start in Jan. again just for the Jan. Challenge "chat"- that way we could urge each other on, answer questions, etc. and it wouldn't lengthen the Challenge page for you. I know mine has gotten "buried" waaaay down at the bottom here. We did this in another forum and it worked well. The challenge was only used for the #'s for the challenge. Just an idea for you. Have a wonderful day everyone and keep on Sparking!

Ebony- I WISH I could do 60 min! I have back and leg issues so can't use our treadmill- everytime I try I get leg spasms at night. I have a total body type gym, love it too, my wrists don't... I am planning to try doing 10 min. on the treadmill, slowly and 10 min. with the TBG with wrist braces and see if I can do that much. They say even 10 min. is good for you. I hope this works...

Great job to all.

On a sadder note, we started with 35 people that wanted to participate and there are 16 active through the 2nd week. It doesn't matter if you didn't post this week or last, you can still join us and see if you can hold your good habits and weight in check through the holidays. I will run this challenge again in Jan. so those of you that are a little confused, keep scanning though this thread and watch as we are posting our numbers. I hope that you can challenge me to have a couple 3 hours of totals to keep track of!!!! It will be tough through the holidays BUT I AM READY!! Come at me with those postings.

May I wish all a very Merry Christmas and have a wonderful time with your families. God bless and I will "see" you all next week!

I thought I understood how to post the running weight, but I think I am stuck in the duh zone yet - I am posting the running weight totals of the week just finished on Wednesday morning. Since I weigh myself on Wednesdays that is when I learn how much of a + or - I had for the previous week.

All I know today is I am -2 from when I started this challenge.

JANKAY, we start with a zero. (EX.starting weight is 210, this is a zero).
Week one is 208#, the running total is -2#.

Then on week two if your weight is 206, you have a -2#loss wih a running total of -4#.

Then week three if you gain +2#, the running total goes to -2# again.etc.

So, start at zero, post the changes as the weeks go by and add or subtract so that at the end of the month, you will know what you did for the entire month. Hope this helps all that are having a hard time with this. I did send Nancy an email regarding and hope that helped her as well.

With your points, just keep adding each week to the running totals.

Nancy, I believe that you subtract from your last weigh in (Last weeks weight) Then add or subtract from your total at the end. Example below

Weigh changes -

Week one -233
Week two - 222
Week three -
Week four -
Running total for weigh changes -4 lbs

Does that make sense??

Hi everyone,
Hope your week is going well. I am trying a more organized approach this week and is helping me to stay focus. Every morning I write down what I will eat for the day and also the task that need to be done. I am getting a lot more done and am not foraging for food.

Nancy love the combination of fruit. I will have to mix some up too.

Have a Great day everyone.

Hi - I keep a lot of dried fruits around - ups my fiber and gets the fruit in. Plus I put lots of dried fruit in my oatmeal when I cook it. (Usually cook 3 days of oatmeal - so I heat in microwave the other 2 days.) My current combination is dried cranberries and raisins and some dried cherries. Plus cinnamon.

I managed to stay with this for the first week - big accomplishment for me, but I think I am confused about the weight posting. Should this be at the beginning of the week or the end? I just realized that if I am posting my weight at the beginning of the week, then I'll go that last week without the final results.

So, could you just clarify how I should be posting the weight portion of the challenge

Update - I think I figured it out

Total your numbers and post them on the bottom then "erase" your numbers to start again with the same form. Continue this for the month. This way the figures are all together & easier for me to follow. Thanks for a great question!!

I usually start the morning with fruit and cut up some carrots and peppers and have them sitting out and snack on them all day long, about 4 carrots large cut into strips that really helps me get them in.Hope that is helpful...

Having a hard week too. But I am trying to get refocus so I don't ruin my first week. Had three bad days in a row. Today I think I just had brain freeze and a bad attitude. But I did go outside twice today to walk the dog. The snow is deep so I trudged not walked and could feel the burn in the thighs and butt. So that's a good thing right?? But maybe the cookie after the afternoon walk did not help. Oh well Forgive and forget and just move on. I brushed my teeth and will not eat the rest of tonight and plan on exercising during commercial.

Harrysmom- I'm not doing so great this week either, but hoping to do better & better as the month goes on.

Am I suppose update everyday or am I just being annoying?

Who knew a girl that loves sleep would have a hard time getting enough of it.

But the lack of veggies is no surprise! Does anyone have any tips? I make a mixed berry, banana & OJ smoothie with some spinach thrown in and have a green veg with supper but having a hard time getting 5 veg in without them being all fruit & potatoes.

This is my first challenge so I have a couple of questions.

1st-What does "able to post 5 days" mean? Post daily results?

2nd- Does vacuuming count as exercise? ;)

Thanks,
Christine
