You know I have never looked at protein bars that way.When I look for something sweet in the cupboard, the last thing I think about eating is a protein bar so I know I won't eat them all in two days.
I wonder what the mint chocolate ones are like? They might be yummy to.

I'm not big on mint but I do love my chocolate. I also got the iced chocolate cake and the chocolate carmel but not for .25. I love the iced chocolate cake. Karen

Hi all, I got wind of this challenge through a cyber fitness buddy of mine (hi Karen! ). Just this past week I decided I was going to really buckle down and be more serious about reaching my goals.
I love the rules Lori, they do help.
I'm doing one muscle group per day and today was biceps. I did CTX biceps and then PUB biceps. I also did 40 minutes on the treadmill. My goal right now is to lose fat but not necessarily weight. I'm tracking all my calories and ratios at fiday.com and staying under what I would need to maintain my weight. I'm also only eating complex carbs with my first 3 meals and then switching to only veggies. Anyways, I'm afraid my current weight training rotation is making me extra hungry! I'm definatey getting enough protein, but I'll have to figure that one out.
This is my first challenge here and I'm up for it!

Yeah, I'm so glad your in Heidi. I know all of us can do it.
Hey Heidi, I remember way back when you were on slow and heavy how hungry you were. I think it may be the same thing with the one body part. That is really concentrated weight on a specific body part so you may be reacting the same way as far as hunger needs. You'll figure it out. Karen

Hey Karen/strong girl! Ya, that's exactly what I've been sitting here thinking about, I think it's my weight training that's making me ravenous, that does it every time. I think since I'm looking to lose fat, I need to put off weight training as if I'm trying to gain muscle. I think after this week I'll move to more circuit type workouts.
Yes, I think that's the ticket! I'll save my heavy weight training for when I'm ready to pack on some muscle.
Thanks for the reminder!
Oh ya I forgot to post that I did well on my water intake today.

OK, I just found out about this and I really want to participate - I will work up my week routine and post it later ---- a new thread every day or week?
I have printed the rules and I will find Lori and give my stats.
Today was my moderate cardio day
Turbo Jam Cardio Party 3
50 mintues
352 calories burned
Eating
My eating was really good but not exactly with the plan -- I guess my official start day will be tomorrow - I have been to the grocery store and I am ready!

12-Week Check-in
I’m in and expecting an amazing transformation! I would love to join this 12-week challenge. After reading Cathe’s exciting news tonight, I am fired up and more determined than ever to blast off the rest of this stubborn fat. I actually started my 12-week journey on Easter Sunday and will be completing my challenge around the 4th of July. I will be finishing the first week tomorrow and am a few days ahead of everyone, but I would still like to join this group. I read the guidelines, and they are very similar to what blesses my body. I do eat 3-4 servings of fruit a day. It works for me! My body responds favorably to a higher carbohydrate plant-based way of eating. I only eat small amounts of clean animal protein every other day on circuit training days. I will be sticking with cardio and circuit training as I am still 55 pounds overweight with 35 percent body fat. I am focusing primarily on fat loss now, and this is what I have discovered works for me. Based on the guidelines for this challenge, I am reducing my free day to a few small treats one day a week. It is more beneficial for me to enjoy a few small treats than a big splurge meal. Every Friday will be my rest day. For treats today, I enjoyed organic white tortilla strips with Hell on the Red mild party dip and an Organic Almond Smacker. Yummy! Planning weekend meals and snacks will be good for me. I have been planning my weekday meals and snacks for months. I really need to start blessing my body with more sleep by getting to bed at a decent hour.
This is my planned rotation for the first 3 weeks of this challenge (morning/evening):
Sunday - Cardio and Weights/Total Body Stretching 2
Monday - Cardio Kicks + Ab Hits (CTX Kickbox)/Total Body Stretching 2
Tuesday - Leaner Legs + cardio gliding (homemade circuit)/Total Body Stretching 2
Wednesday - IMAX2/Total Body Stretching 2
Thursday - Boot Camp/Total Body Stretching 2
Friday - rest
Saturday - Rhythmic Step + Ab Hits (Power Hour)/Total Body Stretching 2
I am 5'3" and currently weigh 185 pounds (down from my top weight of 260 pounds). My ultimate goal is 130 pounds. My body fat as determined by a personal trainer friend using skin fold calipers is 35 percent (down from 50 percent). My ultimate goal is 22-25 percent. I currently wear a size large top (down from a size 3X top) and size 14 jeans (down from size 28 jeans). Both are very snug. My ultimate goal is a size small top and petite size 8 jeans.
My 12-week challenge goals are:
Weight: 160 pounds (-25 pounds during the challenge for a total of -100 pounds)
Body Fat: 28 percent (-7 percent during the challenge for a total of -22 percent)
Size: size medium top and size 10 petite jeans (-1 top size and -2 jeans sizes during the challenge)
I would love to be able to do my first pike on my stability ball but may need to get closer to my ultimate goal weight first. I will keep trying though! I would also love to get through all the planks in CTX Kickbox without modifying or resting. My other fitness goal is to make it through the whole minute of dips in Boot Camp without resting. I will consider myself a success if I reach my weight and size goals by the 4th of July because I will still be 30 pounds overweight and may need to get to my goal weight before these fitness dreams become reality. The extra weight makes pikes, planks, and dips much more challenging!
My personal measurements are recorded in my personal journal. I will share pictures and measurements on the 4th of July. I will be checking in here at night but may not check in every night due to my desire to get to bed earlier. That will require me to give up some computer time.
I’m in and ready for a wild ride! Come along if you dare. :7
Kathy, I am so excited to be doing this challenge with you. Send me a PM with your new e-mail address please!
Blessings,
Heather B.
