@MCD919: @lilyann: @Mrs. Champagne: a 4th preggo joining!
My goals are to:
1. Refill my water bottle twice during the day-that will put me at 96 oz of water a day, which is the minimum of what I have discovered I need to feel decent.2. Try to eat veggies with as many meals as possible.
3. Yoga once a week, walking at least 2 times a week.
4. I might try some of these squats, but I don't know if I can get all the way up to 250! Maybe just 25 to start?
ETA: oh, and my PT exercises to help with my hip.
-
I'm in! I'm starting a biggest loser challenge at work, winner takes all!
*Bring my lunch everyday. I eat so much better when I make it at home. We have an amazing cafe at work but I don't make very good choices....
*Hit the gym at least 3 times a week.
*Floss every night! I've gotten way off track with this
*Wash my face every night. I have a very bad habit of going to bed in my make up. -
@MsLipGloss: started the squat challenge. Its only day one...but ouch!
-
@MsLipGloss: I did my squats!!
-
I did my squats too!!
-
@redsmarties: @Smurfette: @littlek: you guys are awesome! Goodbye jiggle, hellooooo bounce!
Squats are next for me after I hop off the elliptical.
-
I'm in!
1) Eat salad for lunch everyday--yay spinach!
2) Find a good yoga studio -
@MsLipGloss: jelly you have an elliptical at home.
-
@MsLipGloss: I did elliptical for 30.
@Smurfette: we have one too.. Love it! We still need get treadmill. -
Maaay have overdone it today. Did JM's 6W6P, then the squat challenge (the one with the alternate types of squats), then I was still feeling good so I did it through 2 more times. Still feeling good so I did the one @loveisstrange: posted, and then the first squat challenge again. Then 50 jumping jacks and 50 of the squat + weight raise things that JM does in 30DS.
I'm feeling pretty good now, a little bit sore in my thighs, but I'm worried I'm going to not be able to stand up tomorrow!
-
@Smurfette: We've only had it a few months, but it is super convenient. And, a nice elliptical was much cheaper than replacing my work wardrobe. I feel guiltier though when I slack, because it's right there!
@lovehoneybee: Dooood. WOW-What a monster day! I would seriously recommend lots of stretching, and a couple of aspirin before bed (to help with any delayed onset soreness).
-
I have logged every day this week, and weighed in at a half pound less this morning. I'm upping the ante! I want to see the next 10 lb bracket on my scale, which will put me dangerously close to pre-preg weight.
DH carved out solo time for me the next 3 days to go to the gym. I'm ready! -
@MsLipGloss: Shockingly, I'm feeling okay today! I can definitely feel it, especially in my abs and shoulders, and my thighs are pleasantly sore, but not nearly as bad I was anticipating. I did stretch a lot last night, and took a long, hot bath before bed.
-
@lovehoneybee: Hopefully you'll stay feeling great! The big *ouch* sets in on me the second day after the workout (if I haven't done another workout that day).
-
@MrsBrewer: @Smurfette: I'm pretty sure I'm going to fee stupid for asking this, but MFP????
Okay, here's mine. I've been doing Weight Watchers, which is going well, and I joined one of the 6 month DietBets.
1. Keep tracking food & staying within points.
2. Cardio at least 3 times a week.
3. Do squats, lunges, or ab work during some of my TV time after the Baby Dudes go to sleep. -
@Mrs. Blue: MyFitnessPal!!
-
@MrsBrewer: Ughh... I knew I was going to feel stupid for that one. Thanks!
-
@Mrs. Blue: What is DietBets?
-
@Mrs. Blue: Don't feel stupid!! I'm just lazy and I don't like typing it all out!
-
@Smurfette: it's this website that has "bets" that are either public or you can set up your own for a certain amount of weight loss in a certain time frame. For instance, the one my BFF and I are doing is a public one (anyone can join) to lose 10% of your body weight in 6 months. Everyone pays a certain amount for their "bet." Every month, their is a goal (like lose 3%, an additional 1%, etc.) that if you meet you share in the winnings for that round. Then, at the end of the 6 months, there is a bigger pot of money and everyone who has met the goal shares that. Does that all make sense? I think it makes it kind of fun and motivating because I like money!
-
@Mrs. Blue: Interesting. It would give me more incentive to keep on it. I would be pissed if I lost money. I am giving myself $5 for every pound I lose. So I can save up and buy myself something without feeling guilty.
Did my squats last night!
-
I think that's a great incentive, smurfette! I'm also going to buy myself something nice when I get to the point I want
I don't like the dietbet idea because it doesn't really take composition into effect, which wouldn't help me out!
-
on 2nd thought....I am going to increase that $5. Mama needs more then that to get a nice bag
-
@blackbird: yeah, DietBet really only works if you have a more significant amount of weight to lose, rather than needing to just drop a few pounds or tone up, although you can actually set up your own bets with whatever basis you want I think.
-
I've been doing the squat challenge for 2 days now and am feeling really great about it!
I tried to drink a green smoothie today but left it sitting on my fence before heading to work, doh.
-
@MsLipGloss: I just printed out your squat plan pictures. Thanks, lady!
-
@MrsMcD: Do it to it!
I have fallen off the *squat* wagon, but I am hopping back on! Everything else is on track, except for the doughnuts I ate this morning (and the chocolate ice cream last night!). Ah well, everything in moderation, including moderation! No guilt, just move on!
-
@MsLipGloss: "Do it to it" is the hot phrase in my house as of late. Where's it from?!?!? And yes... squats are a thing now for me. I've been able to maintain an eight pound weight loss following a six day juice cleanse and that's keeping my psyched. I just got over the flu and dropped one more pound! Hooray! One more pound to go and I will start counting the real weight loss since these first 10 pounds I'm losing shouldn't even be on my body in the first place. I don't even have a baby or pregnancy to blame!!!!!!!!! FML!
-
@MsLipGloss: Instead of different squats, have you thought about lunges? It'll work the inner thighs to balance out the larger quad muscles being used!
@KT326: I try to floss during lunch. I'm using too zonked out at night to do it!
I think i'm in.
1. Wash my face/remove makeup every night. I know that sounds gross but seriously, by bedtime i just don't care!
2. Go to yoga 3x a week
3. Plank challenge. Hopefully get to 5 minutes by the end of Feb?? We'll see!
4. No candy in Feb. Seriously, i ate a whole bag of Haribos in one sitting the other day. -
I definitely see a result from all the squats! I'm up to 110.
-
I'm at 100 squats...it's getting easier to do those first 50! I'm down 5lbs since I started tracking calories on January 1- which is ridiculous. I'm so used to PCOS making it impossible to lose weight.
-
@Freckles: no candy?? What about discounted valentines chocolate on Feb 15th? Lol
-
@MsLipGloss: I have dropped my squats too:( back tomorrow!! Doing good with the diet.
-
I took an "extended" rest day on my squat challenge and got back at it today .. Day 5 of the multi squat program. Broke a sweat but feeling good!
-
@redsmarties: I still allowing chocolate!
I did day 1 of squats while waiting for LO to fall asleep.
-
@MsLipGloss: with that squat challenge, do they just have to be completed throughout the day (say, some in the morning, some before bed, etc.) or all at once?
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Either one works - they can be done in groups throughout the day or all at once!
-
@MrsMcD: As I recently learned from Wikipedia, it's from an old t.v. series "Movin' On" . . . one the show, the phrase was "do it to it like Sonny Pruitt" . . . (after the show ended, the phrase changed to "do it to it like Sonny Pruitt used to do it") . . . The series ran from 1974-1976. I am guessing it just got shortened over time.
I also learned that the theme song, "Movin' On", was written and performed by Merle Haggard, and was a No. 1 single on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in July 1975. Giddy up!
-
I did a bunch of squats within a metcon today and thought of this thread :silly
If anybody wants a solid 25 min at home circuit, 3 rounds of this will do it:
10 burpees
20 push ups
30 sit ups
40 squats
50 sec plank -
@blackbird: Trying it!! I made that ST Macaroni Casserole tonight. Really good! I hope R likes it too!
Squats are next for me after I hop off the elliptical.
