Days _ through _

I have been so horrible about logging on and writing what days I have done.

I will  blame it on it being the boys' last week of preschool this week and having company, too!

I will not try and back track and figure out what I have missed, but instead just post that I have completed today's exercises - Day 22!

Now I will try my best to keep up until the end of May next week! :)

Weekly Challenge: Only drink water for 3 of your days this week - no coke, tea, etc.
*For the remainder of the month, try some more of the ingredients listed on my previous weekly challenge --- at your leisure! :)

Carrie is Not Alone...

So, my husband and I went off this past weekend as well to celebrate our 2-year anniversary, and I didn't do one day of blog exercises either!!! :(

Although, I don't think it was a total waste and I didn't totally backtrack, because we did indeed do a lot of walking by going to Ruby Falls and Rock City in Chattanooga, TN! :) Both beautiful & interesting places. So maybe I didn't get too out of routine! But I will also be catching up this week and as Carrie put it so well, tomorrow is a new day and we get a fresh start!

My weekly challenge for the 13th-18th is:

*Choose one or more of the following to use as part of a meal TWICE this week:
-Celery
-Chili Peppers
-Garlic
-Cherry Juice
-Walnuts
-Green Tea
-White Tea

"Why?" you may ask... Here are the medically-proven & published benefits of using such ingredients:

Celery - helps prevent the plaque buildup in teh brain that can lead to Alzheimer's.
Chili Peppers - can boost your metabolism by more than 20%.
Garlic - boosts your immune system.
Cherry Juice - helps regulate your internal clock.
Walnuts - strengthens nails and may help thinning hair; helps reduce wrinkles.
Green Tea - energizes with only a quarter of the amount of caffeine that coffee has.
White Tea - increases the brain wave activity associated with improved attention.

Carrie, I know you'll have to repost the weekly challenge, so please don't feel like you have to list all the choices - you can just refer to this post if needed! lol ;)

Until tomorrow!
-Jen

Days 9, 10 and 11 - carrie

I'm slowly but surely catching up...

Days 9, 10, and 11 - done! 

Bad, Bad, Carrie :(

Well, I went camping and had all intentions of keeping up with Friday and Saturday's exercises......but I didn't! :(  Boo hoo! I completely messed up my exercising streak I had going on....

BUT, tomorrow is a new day and I will catch up....that means I'll be doing Friday, Saturday and Monday's exercises. I may not be able to walk back up the basement stairs but I will have the feeling of accomplishment to keep me company until I can go up those stairs! Ha!
Here's to a new week and a new start.

This week my challenge is to run/walk/elliptical at least 3 times (that means neighborhood walks with the boys count, too!)
Carrie

Day 9 - Jenny

Day 9 - completed :)

And woah! was it hard! that 45 sec plank was a doozy! Talk about an ab-killer!

Hoping to do well this weekend, have gone sugar-free so far today, and have had all 3 servings of veggies this week - Yay!

-Jen

Day 8 - Jenny

Day 8 - Done! :) Planning on goin' walkin/joggin tomorrow hopefully! Also gonna shoot for a sugar-free day!

DONE!

(One veggie down, two to go! No sugar free day yet, though)

Day 7 - Jenny

Day 7 - Finished! I know, I know, technically it's already 'Day 8', but it's been a long day, and I had to just do it before hittin' the sack! lol Hopefully, it'll be earlier tomorrow! :)

Day 7 - Carrie

Wow, I finished early today! Yay!
Now on to the elliptical...
Carrie

Carrie - May 6

Barely got Day 6 in....I guess technically I didn't since it is past midnight!

I don't know why I chose to have a sugar-free day this week seeing as I made strawberry cupcakes this afternoon! What was I thinking?

Oh well!  Elliptical tomorrow and definitely more veggies!!!

Carrie

Day 6 - Jenny

Day 6 - Done!

Have had 1 serving of veggies so far this week :)
Carrie's challenge is definitely gonna be hard! lol

'God' luck this week!
-Jen

Day 4 - Jenny

Day 4 - complete! Whew! I also did not drink enough water today. :( But I'll have to remedy that tomorrow! 

We had a full & fun day today, which is partially the reason for my 'lateness' in posting tonight -sheepish grin-, but now I know that weekends are gonna be harder to keep up with! Will have to plan ahead & try harder on Fridays & Saturdays. 
We saw Iron Man 3 today, which was AWESOME! (no surprise there) And for those of you who like to bolt before the first credits roll, keep in mind that there is actually a short scene at the finish, so change it up a lil' and stick around until the VERY end! ;)

G'night & sweet dreams!
-Jen

End of week 1 - Carrie

Well, I did good this week except for today :(  I didn't drink enough water, and didn't get outside because of the flooding rain here in GA. So, that means tomorrow instead of a rest day it will be a catch up day! I will also be thinking of what I want to do as a Week 2 challenge
Night,
Carrie

Day 3 - Jenny

It's 10pm (TN time), but I did it! ;) And yes, my abs are burning. lol

Lunch

Somehow I deleted this post from earlier.
But anyways, if you like cucumbers you might like this little snack/lunch.
Just use a small biscuit cutter on two slices of bread.
Peel and slice 1/2 cucumber and dip in Italian dressing.
Spread cream cheese mixed with ranch dressing (powdered) onto bread circles and top with cucumbers. YUM!

Day 3 - CARRIE

DONE! Sam even did them with me....but he did complain that it was too many crunches! Haha

day 2 - carrie

Well, I did day two....at 9pm! haha I'm just about to get on the elliptical.  Working out this late lets you know just how busy my day was!
I'm posting from my phone so this will be short and sweet.
I havent gotten to my challenge yet because of the weather but I did drink water today.  I didnt measure but I think it met Jen's challenge for the day.
See ya tomorrow!
Carrie

Bwahaha

Day 2 - Jenny

Day 2: Completed!

Yesterday, I posted on facebook that sometimes I get the urge to dance down the sidewalk during one of my walks when one of my favorite songs comes on my ipod...I have yet to do this, and I stated on facebook that I wish I had an invisibility cloak so I could do just that whenever I wanted. Some of the comments from others were that I should dance anyways and not care what others think! :) One said commenter posted this video, and I thought I'd share...

So, this month I am giving myself a challenge...I am daring 'me' to dance down the sidewalk at some point before the end of this month--at least once! (no invisibility cloak included)

Dance a lil' today!
-Jenny

Motivation...

so true.                                                              -Jen

                                                                   

Day One - Jenny

First of all, 'YAY' for my very first post to any personal blog EVER!!! haha
Watch out, cyber space!

Day 1 for moi: Done! We can do this!

My Weekly Challenge for May 1st-4th: Drink 24 oz. of water each day for the remainder of this week, Thurs.-Sat.! 

*Another way to look at it:
A cup of water with each meal = 8 oz., 3x a day

Proud to say that I just completed Carrie's weekly challenge today by walking for 30 minutes outside in a cute lil' park just up the street from my home...
 *Bonus Points*: was not hit by a car, did not trip once over my own feet, actually broke a sweat, saw a billion pretty birdies, and wore my Gators t-shirt proudly in a land where we Florida fans are rare & probably shunned! lol

Until tomorrow,
-Jenny

Day one - Carrie

Hello out there!  

We have decided to resurrect this blog in an attempt to get off our lazy butts and do something!

Every week each sister will issue a Weekly Challenge to supplement the monthly workout posted in the tab at the top of the blog.

Day One for me: Completed! Oh yeah!

My weekly challenge for May 1st-4th:  get outside for a walk!

See ya tomorrow :)
Carrie
