WK4- Results ending September 23, 2013

Week 4, how you doing? Happy with your progress, or frustrated?  It is amazing how different we all are and yet so similar in so many ways.  Weight loss is hard, if it was easy none of us would even be playing this game,right.  So, you have to look at all aspects of your daily food intake, your exercise and so many things.  If you're not getting the results you are wanting, change something.  It's still very early in this and you've got it.  One thing you really need to do is journal or input what you do everyday, and everything you eat.  It's so important.  You will be amazed at all the small calories you eat that you may not even be aware of. Here's a few of the favorites that are out there, lose it, sparkpeople, calorie king, or if you are using one that you love, share it with the rest of us.

Here's this week's results and other helpful things to help you have an awesome week.

Last week's challenge winner of the awesome headsets to use with your workout is:  Jordan

This week's challenge is this:

Three times everyday. Want more out of it, do it three times consecutively.  In order for you to be eligible for the prize you need to do this for at least 3 of the 5 days. That means each day you will have done 30 push ups, 60 sit ups, 75 squats, 60 lunges, 240 jumping jacks,and 3 minutes of wall sits. This is similar to what a personal trainer would give you, and then some more.   

What you playing for:  A jump rope.  

Some may find this information helpful too.  Pandora is awesome, and I think some of these are worth looking into.
