Welcome everyone to the 2014 Mission Slimpossible Challenge!!! Everyone get ready to burn all your fat off! You will feel much lighter and have a bit more bounce in your step! You can individually decide on what you choose to do as far as diet & exercise & your goal weight(lets aim a little higher than 1 lbs please :) hehe) I highly recommend Weight Watchers online. MY PERSONAL MISSION: to steer clear of most animal fats(meat & cheese) and byproducts and most gluten(I'm hoping this will increase my energy). I just went to Trader Joes and stocked up on tons of fruits, vegetables & nuts. I plan on making things like spicy thai curry over jasmine rice, black bean & sweet potato burgers,& mushroom ragu over polenta -just to name a few. I will also be enjoying a large glass of freshly blended fruits & veggies in the morning. I hope you all will join me in sharing your healthy recipes! Just remember eating is 80% of the way you look & feel! :) You can do it! I am starting out today at 137 lbs. My goal is to be fit and toned and weigh in at 124 lbs. Please share with us your goals so that we can join together to support one another! Clean eating + exercise = healthy body & mind + happy life! Tata for now! MiniMeme

Well here we are back at it again! Mission Slimpossible 2014!!
I think the prize is your choice of a mani pedi or hour long massage.
I weighed in at 132 this morning- although I feel very dehydrated so I think I should add a pound or 2.
anyway, time to check in and weigh in!
what are yall going to do today to get fit?! I am about to go for a walk out in the cold to burn extra calories, jump rope for 5 minutes and then do 100 squats. boo ya

The Competiton

I haven't done the Gilad workout at all in about 10 days. But, I have painted 2 bathrooms and painting and going up and down the ladder was somewhat of a workout. Tomorrow I will be back to doing Gilad once a day! I have been walking my 3 miles a day - 2 miles in the morning and at least 1 mile in the afternoon. I have not lost a single pound, and in fact at times I have gained weight, then lost then it's back. I hate that!

The best news is Candra has started walking with a buddy that walks 8 miles a day! Way to go Candra. Those sacks of oats are going to be getting smaller and smaller until all you're hauling around is a couple of coconuts!

Meredith - Steve says running in the cold without a lot of bundling up burns a lot of calories as your body burns them to stay warm.

I am going to go absolutely wild these last two weeks of the competition, because I have turned into one big sack of oats!

Gravy bowl stomach

Wobble Wobble, Gobble Gobble, I have a gravy bowl stomach now! I have gained 2 of the 4 pounds that I had lost :( because I didnt do any exercises during Thanksgiving week(it's sacreligious). I did do 2 exercises the week before Thanksgiving and this week I have done 2 miles of walking on Monday and 30 min of running in the 30 degree weather(I think that constitutes a winner right there) last night. Tonight I am going to see the Rockefeller tree be lit so I'm afraid I will have no time for workouts :( Anyway, if anyone wants to get a last minute flight up to NYC we are having the sample sale this coming Monday-Thurs.

How is everyone else doing?!?!?

Wobbling

Well, I have gobbled down food until I'm wobbling. I didn't do much in the last week - walked a few times, did the rock wall climbing which made me sore for two days. Now I'm planning on getting back on track! Here's to the last 4...or is it 3? 3-1/2? weeks of competition. Let's see who will win!

Second of All...

Happy Thanksgiving!! I love you! Wish we could all be together but Christmas is almost here!

First of all....

I don't even know what to say about this picture...

Checking in!

I ran 3x this week, all 40 mins. each. No lunges :(

I ran 3x this week.

-40 mins

-40 mins

-30 mins

Thats all!

I'm changing my plan to:

Run 4x at 30 mins each

2x lunges at 50 per leg.

This is weird but my neck is so sore from running the other day that I can't even put my chin down? I've never had that happen..but it is SORE!

Keep on working out!

Last week I did the Gilad workout 6 times and walked 4 miles one day, rather than 3. I'm keeping the same work out schedule. I wish I'd lose some weight, but oh well!! We still have 5 weeks!
