Hi,
I'm jumping the gun a little bit cuz I don't start week 3 till Sunday. But it was open to me Saturday cuz I'm up late I guess. ANYWAY! Are you going to add the fruit/veggie challenge to the team challenges! I know this would be really helpful for me cuz I never pay attention to them like I know I should. I tried to add on my own but couldn't. I know if I could check it off like the food etc. that are already there on the OTHER GOALS tracking page!

Thanks!

APRIL 26th 2010,GOAL= 125-122 got to 126.

Jan 1st 2011 = 133
July 31st = 122.8
Aug. 1st = 122.4
Sept. 2nd = 121.6
Oct.1st = 126.8
Nov.17th = 125
Dec.23 = 133
Jan 1st 2012 = 131
February 1 = 127.6
March 1 = 132.4

Thanks for the common sense advice. I decided to go ahead and do the next two days' videos (for motivation and maybe muscle memory?) - and I'll just be conscious of the little things I can do - and get back to it the routine on Monday. Thanks!

Crazy day with the kiddos yesterday precluded a proper post.

Week 3, days 2 and 3 done. Videos accomplished. 7 servings of fruits and veg yesterday; 6 servings today. Did hard cardio on Wednesday and will go about 100 minutes tomorrow. Doing it daily doesn't work, but I definitely get the minutes in.

My, oh my, I can see why these team members made it to week 3. We have a lot of challenges, but we figure out work-arounds to get the exercises in and eat as best we can on any given day. I am so proud of all of us!

I have taken it up a notch in my cardio (which mainly consists of Tae Kwon Do) by constantly moving during class. I don't stand flat-footed but rather bounce on my toes or do a step-touch move unless we are addressing the teacher (opening and closing of class or questions) in some way that requires a respectful posture. I can tell by my breathing and by how hungry I am soon after class that I am working harder.

Will start my week 3 on Sunday. I figured it would be easier to track everything if I started on Jan 1... and it is. I've gotten confused several times. Luckily I have pencil and paper to keep up with the things to do each day!

DEARFACE, if you really can't make it, just start fresh on Monday otherwise if you can squeeze in some walk, swimming or whatever you can find that won't distract your weekend. It's also easy to just do a 10mns exercise when you get up before going for breakfast. Maybe have a look at the video you are supposed to do and try to do something similar as some of them don't require any equipment then your workout is done!
As for the cardio you can use the 2 days off required in the challenge and do cardio from Monday to Friday. Just some thoughts really!
Good luck with it and have a lovely weekend.

I'm so excited that I'm already almost done with week 3, whoa! I've made myself get the required cardio in, and then some. I'm pumped - but a little anxious because this weekend I'm basically out-of-commission and can't do any "vigorous" exercise. I can't decide how I'm going to compensate for this - will I take two days off? And just start again Monday like nothing happened, no break. Or double up on the Monday & Tuesday when I'm cleared for action again... EEP! Who knows - thoughts?

I seem to have confused myself with the video/days - anyway I'm still doing them and today I have done the lower body sculpt video twice which I really love doing.
I've also ran for 50mns and did the 15mns NTC circuit training.

Week 3 day 3
Feeling so much better than yesterday. I'm not going to let one day of set back destroy all of my hard work!
I love the upper body work out. For extras I added the crunchless core challenge from Fit, Firm and Fired up and also Coach Nicole's Cardio Blast.
Going for a snowy walk this afternoon!

Week 3 ~ Day 3 and I've done the arms and I ran 4 miles this morning, adding speed and incline to the last 2 miles. I really love this challenge, since it works out the entire body and I don' t have to think about what to do each day besides my cardio.emoticon

Week 3 - Day 3: today I've done the 9mns arm toning video, I really love and enjoy every single video that Nicole created. They are quick and efficient, you can fit them anytime of the day!
I've also ran for 32mns and the NTC circuit training for 30mns.

Wk 3 Day 3 - I love this workout. It makes my arms feel so good although I do have trouble with the chair lift. I shattered my wrist & severed the tendon a few years ago & still have some trouble with it. The Dr told me not to be too strenuous on it, and the lifts are a bit too much pressure on my wrist.

I have had a little trouble keeping up with the workouts this week. Managed to get in a cardio workout yesterday. Did two days of strength training today to make up the missed day.
Am adding the kickboxing video to my cardio routine.
Will use the Leslie Sansone walking video when I cannot do my daily walks outdoors.
But otherwise, doing well and getting through week 3.

Week 3, Day 1. Still a full house here, I see. Love it!

Just finished the athletic intervals workout. Good complement to today. Did a long and intense Tae Kwon Do class this evening. Not much more I could have done to add to that, but when I took my daycare babies for a walk this morning, I jogged a half block every half mile we walked.

Ate tons of veggies today, but no appetite for fruit. I'll add that element in as this week goes on.

Doing great! Getting in more than enough water 80 - 90 oz., making healthy choices in my food especially snacks at work (bringing them from home that I prepare!!!) and will increase the intervals with some intensity!!

Working hard to keep up the momentum and consistency!

I'm welcoming myself to week 3. I feel like I might fall off the fitness wagon soon due to overwhelming amounts of work with an erratic schedule (not even able to get my needed 7-8 hours of sleep!) But hopefully that won't happen. I'm still on a streak - will just have to push myself a little more through this slump and find at least 5 days for cardio!

Week 3 day 1
Up early, did my video. Had a decent breakfast and 2 cups of water already.
Packed a lunch that has my fruits and veggies for the day.
Will be trying to get in 20-30 minutes of cardio tonight. I will pick my extra video to do tonight and do it in the morning with my day 2 routine.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Week 3, Day 1 done! Up early! I love the interval workout. I can't believe how it gets the heart rate up. For my extras today I did the new you bootcamp cardio kickboxing workout. I am pleased to say that what used to be somewhat of a challenge was actually very easy!! Am I getting fit?!! I also di the next 2 days of that challenge... lower and upper body workouts with dumbells and stability ball. Hoping for a good weigh-in, but it i sjust a number. I went clothes shopping last night (GoodWill!) and everything I took in the dressing room
(one size down) ...fit!!!!!emoticon

It only takes a spark, to get a fire going!
I'll shout it from the mountain tops!
I want the world to know!
I want to pass it on!

Week 3 Day 1 - 8-Minute Athletic Intervals Workout, 122 minutes water aerobics, 11 freggies emoticon My exercise plan is to continue water aerobics min of 2 times/wk, walk min of 2 miles 5 times/wk (gazelle as a backup in case of really bad weather), ST min 5 days/wk. My nutrition plan is to continue with a min of 7 freggies in my daily meals, watch portion size, do not grocery shop when hungry - do a better job of having healthy snacks available particularly if I won't be home for several hours.

Today is Week 3 Day 1. I love the Interval video but I am such a klutz doing the beginning, hopping backwards! I have also done 70 min treadmill, 30 min elliptical & a 20 min Cardio Dance Video. I am on a roll today!

I am taking it slow and easy today....just the interval video for day one....as well as a 12 minute cardio burst on Coach Nicole's new dvd... and certainly having fun with it and plan to blog about it as soon as I feel that I have gone completely through it, and feel qualified to review it......but for now, all I can say is wow!! quite a workout...this is the second time I have done the cardio burst and it is getting easier but I still have to work on it....I do have to modify it as I can't do a lot of the standing exercise, but I love the dvd....:0
also doing 2000 steps chair marching
I am looking forward to week three.....I feel that I can easily get in at least ten or more minutes added to my current exercise minutes

I'm having trouble getting the videos in. I do water aerobics 3 times a week and work out in the gym the other two. I am tracking my food and drinking plenty of water. I can't seem to loose any weight though. I is still sitting in the same spot. That is discouraging! ! ! ! !

Still changing my food intake. Didn't know exactly how much I was really eating until I seriously started tracking my food. WoW I was eating way too much but I am getting use to eating less now so I am hoping to see better results.

I will be running at least two days this week and going to one spin class in addition to the walks I take at lunch time. I need to improve my diet to better see results.

Starting week 3 tomorrow! The time has flown! I will try to amp up the cardio, although I feel like I am doing as much as I can right now. I will try to sneak in an extra 10 somewhere!

Tomorrow, I start of week 3 (yes, I started early:) I hope to continue to keep up the daily cardio and do all the videos. However, I need to focus on that emotional eating after 7 pm.....loss a pound or so and add it right back on. Focus, focus, focus!
