Did You Move To Lose Today? Let the fun begin!

Hey Everyone

I am so excited.  It appears we have a lot of members doing the 8 week challenge and the goals we set for ourselves yesterday were awesome  I got back from my boxing class last night and past out, so I am still answering your posts. I will, I promise.



Just got back from the gym today and did what Oxygen Magazine calls the PUSH DAY. 

Chest
Dumbbell bench press - 12.5 lbs 2x15
Dumbbell flye - 10 lbs 2x15
Seated press (machine) no weight, 2x15 (not sure what no weight is, but I couldn't add any and do this, I felt like a weekling)

Shoulders
Seated dumbbell press - 12.5 lbs 2x15
Seated dumbbell lateral raises - 10 lbs 4x8 (I am really weak in the shoulders and back and these were very hard for me, but I didn't want to go lower on the weight so I broke up my sets to 4 sets of 8 reps)
Bar raises - Machine - ??  I have my list downstairs and don't remember the weight, 2x15

Triceps
Dumbbell extensions - 12.5 lbs 2x15
Dumbbell kickbacks - 10lbs 2x15
Bench dips - 2x15
Machine dips - 12 resistance 2x8
Rope pull down - 17.5 2x12 12.5lbs 1x10

I will be going to my kicking boxing tonight for cardio workout.

So my friends, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today?  Come on it's day 2 of the new you

You will have your moment at the top when eight weeks are done

Yup! 35 minutes eliptical---18 minutes bike-- then stretched. Did pretty well eating-wise, too. 2 liters water B-2 high-protein pumpkin muffins L- chicken breast, brown rice, salad small piece cake (I know bad bad bad-- but it really WAS small) S- soy crisps, pineapple D- pinto beans and cornbread

Yes...Yes...Yes... Way to go, Kim

I soooo don't like to already post that I may not be able to work out tonight... but I wanted to explain in case I don't post later... First off, I am traveling tomorrow (leaving straight to the airport from work and returning, God willing, next Monday), and I have a million things to do to get ready tonight... I only got about 3 hours of sleep because my sinuses have been acting up, and I must get into bed at a decent time tonight... SO!  I do want to try to finish up all I need to do and still get in my workout today, but I cannot promise... I hate that I sound like already giving excuses, but on the other hand I didn't want you to think I'm losing my motivation or sumptin'! Know what I mean? :-) Angie

Hey Ang, We understand, life goes on we don't stop living just to work out.  Just walk up and down the airport and go up and down the stairs.  You will be lugging stuff and you will get a workout. Have a save trip, and keep us posted ok? take care, Kathy

You know... I always do that at the airport... If I have a long lay-over, I don't sit down... I just wal****il it's time to get on the plane... :-)  it's funny how I don't really associate that with exercise, but it is! :-)   I don't have a laptop, so I won't be coming here until Tuesday... This trip will be challenging both on the exercise and eating fronts, but I intend to give it my best :-) Thanks for not making me feel like a goober! :o) Angie

Ang, I got 3 hrs also but not from my sinus infection, been taking avelox and its clearing me good but I tried to keep up with Dana and her coffee LOL and drank a cup in morning and one after dinner which I knew was gonna kill me but I wanted it....I don't know how she does it. I took a sleeping pill at 11 and 3 I took another, a different scipt and I still was awake till nearly 6.

ROFL, sorry about the coffee incident.....I have no reaction which is weird I guess because so many say it wires them up.......or maybe I just stay wired up and don't know the difference.  haha

Dana what is funnier is I only started drinking it again 6 months ago...had stop years ago because my motor would not stop...I used it as an excuse to go out dancing at after hour discos in the 80's & early 90's...guess that is why I was so thin but when I moved to Fl with my ex husband, present husband now,  LOL I had to make him stop drinking it...he was so hyper I couldn't stand looking at him .,,.he was just like a lady chit chatting constantly, with hand on hip and all. He still is not drinking it but now its because of his heart so when he sneaks it and I see that chit chat starting and the hand on the hip I go off on him for lying and he always lies about having a cup at work ROFL Now just imagine this marine with his hand on hip! Too funny
