Did You Move To Lose Today? Week 1, Let's Rock n Roll!

Good Morning Everyone, I went to Milwaukee this weekend to visit a friend I had not seen in awhile.  It was so much fun running around doing girl things. So are you ready to get started on our 8 week challenge?  Remember it's what you make it.  Post here what you want your challenge is and we will help each other get there.  Think big and you may surprise yourself.  I had someone say would it be realistic to work towards x number of sit ups?  Challenges are where you say I am GOING TO GET TO  X number of sit ups and work towards that. My main goal is to get my waist down.  Now I know you guys are thinking what the heck is she talking about.  I do practice what I preach and took my  measurements and did my body fat comp.  My measurements are 38, 33.5 and 36.  Well, hello, what the heck is up with that thick waist.  It may be a Lipo thing left over from all my PS but I want to do everything possible on my own before I say it's something diet and exercise will not take care of.  I also want to really work on keeping my eating "clean". You may hear me say this often, and  it's from a book "The Eating Clean Diet" by Tosca Reno.  http://www.eatcleandiet.com/ I am also going to keep track of my food using http://www.thedailyplate.com/ I am going to track and increase my reps, sets and weights.  I am also going to wear my heart rate monitor for my boxing cardio workouts.   So by increasing my endurance and weights I hope to decrease my waist. Monday - I did my bar bell strength class this morning Tonight - I am going to go to my boxing class if weather permits By the way, when I wear my heart rate monitor it says I burn around 500 cals during an hour class of boxing and 300-400 weight lifting. So my friends, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today?  Come on in and if you are doing the challenge lay the plan on us and we will help stay on track.  If you are not doing the challenge post and we are with you all the way. Oh by the way, if you don't workout at a gym but do heavy labor like some of our members working in a warehouse and or work with horses.  May I suggest you get a heart rate monitor and keep track of your daily activity that way and challenge  your self to increase your numbers weekly... Take care, Kathy

After taking care of a lame dog with ACL surgery, followed by a bought of bronchitis, I moved to lose yesterday and today, jogging at 5mph for 45 minutes.  My goal is this...I can run for 3.5 miles on the treadmill, but can't go that far when actually jogging in the neighborhood--I remember hearing something about actually moving through gravity?  I can't remember.  My goal is to be able to go around my lake 2x which equals just under 3 miles.  I can do it once around, but am so winded I can only walk the second time.  Should I increase the incline on the treadmill?  Would that "simulate" a real run?  Or is this all in my head, lol?! Any advice would be welcome!

Hi Kathy, I did my 60 min water class this morning...
