Wow! Two days in a row with no challenge. I've gotten so used to these challenges that my day doesn't seem complete without them. I feel a little lost now.

I could make up some challenges for u!!!

do 150 squats, 100 crunches, and 50 pushups......xoxoxo
next day.....log 5 miles outdoors or on a treadmill....xoxoxo

HA! I can't do push ups because of a wrist injury. I can't even do them on a wall because of it. It's definitely very limiting.

Finally! A new challenge!

He's back!!! Hey hairgoddess this is brianna from facebook, whats up? Thanks for telling us bout the challenge, i had my final exams 2day and i got hom early. My mom said we were NOT going to the store 2 get almond milk 2day :-( oh well im running a 10k at 7 pm got to go see you later!!!

Hey, Brianna! That's a bummer about your mom not getting the almond milk today. Just fit it in whenever you guys do get to the store.

Tuesday's Challenge....Try doing 5 minutes of alternating lunges without stopping AND 5 minutes of abdominal crunches WITHOUT stopping....Let's get ready for SUMMER!!!

I can't afford the trip to NJ this year to go see Bob.

I'm trying to muster the motivation to do today's challenge.

OK, y'all. I might need some back up on Bob's fan page. There was a post from a woman about what can be done naturally to alleviate symptoms of "that time of the month". I told her to try watermelon to help with bloating since it is a natural diuretic, plus has Lycopene and other nutrients, plus lots of water so you stay hydrated. Well, our "favorite" girl, Tina sticks her nebby nose in and says watermelon is full of sugar water and that this woman should just drink milk. I told Tina that natural sugar content is completely different from processed sugar. Then, I told her to check her facts.

So, if y'all could go there and back me up and put this bossy !@#$% in her place, I would greatly appreciate it.

went back and did em plus the sprint one.
those sprints will kill any interest in pop:)

Here's today's challenge:



I can do two of those poses, but the downward dog is a problem since I was just diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both of my hands. Don't know how to do downward dog without pain.

[size="5"][/size]I LOVE ur idea!! I will certainly back you up if i see anything on there!!! I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and FIRM yoga tape with my mom yesterday cuz she said she wanted company. I only did level 1 on jillian's tape but personaly i didnt think it was that hard. :-) Im going to regionals of a usa track and field meet in massachussets 2morrow. I have to take a ferry cuz i live in new york and then 4 hours in a car,ugghhh!!! Im running the 3000 meter and the 4 by 100 meter on saturday. And whats even worse, IM GOING TO ATLANTIC CITY IN 2 WEEKS!!!!! I cant see bob!!!!! I wanted to fall over and die!!! (I really need 2 meet him hairgoddess.) LOL... i will talk to you soon!!! And please, tell tina off xoxoxo

battle-rattle

"Oh how soon we forget"

Huh?

^^ Bob's challenges are getting to be less and far between.

no worries - he'll show up as soon as you're tired and not wanting to do one:)
- need one though and an art/creativity one and a...... and a..... and a........

mush mush

One thing consistent here, Jillian's 30 day shred. If you need a challenge, just get her DVDs.

yeh, I do it all the time. sometimes I'd rather go stare directly into the sun for 20 minutes instead
- but I do it:)

^^^ yea, me to, the torture is the same!

And if you want really big challenge, try Crossfit. Today's workout at our gym was 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 situps, 100 squats. Ouch!

That's not a challenge, that's suicide 100 pull-ups....... OUCH

True! But they do AMAZING things for your arms. Incidentally, everything at Crossfit can be scaled for your abilities. For instance, I do something called "jumping" pull-ups so that about 70% of the effort comes from the upper body and 30% of the effort is done with the legs. It's still a killer, but I'm not doing full pull-ups yet.

Marilyn

I looked into crossfit when Gayle fron Va was posting about it on her blog......I was excited about it, then I found out it is not offered locally, what a bummer.

I know they are. I don't think it's because he's forgotten. I do know he was traveling this weekend. He was in Atlantic City on Saturday for an all day event. From Facebook, I know he left there at 11:30pm and drove to NYC. Then from one of my friends who was there, he told them he had business to take care of in NYC on Sunday and Monday.

I kinda wondered if he was gonna get busier as it got further and further into taping the season.

I didn't realize no one had posted this. Here's Tuesday's challenge:

Here's Thursday's challenge (posted a little late):

Here's the weekend challenge:

didn't exercise for 3 days but read "the blue zones" and then passed it along to a friend.
good book.

take a penny, leave a penny.

I came up with a yummy way to avoid white foods this weekend. Here's what I posted over on Bob's page:

dice up your choice of fresh vegetables (I used cucumber, shredded carrots, celery, onion, cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, and red, yellow and orange sweet peppers) and toss with 4 Tbsp of a low calorie dressing (I used a light raspberry vinaigrette). Set aside. Mix your choice of lettuce greens (I used iceberg and romaine. Was out of baby spinach). Put lettuce and veggie mixture into a pita pocket (I used one with flax seed, oat bran, and whole wheat flour=60 calories for one whole pita). If you desire, put your choice of meat in. It was really good! I'm gonna see how it tastes with fish flaked in it next time.

I didn't realize no one had posted today's challenge. Otherwise, I would have done it as soon as I got home from work. Anyway, here it is:



I just have the crunches left to do. Since it was already dark, I did laps through my living room and kitchen for the walk. My cats think I'm nuts now. LOL

Here's Wednesday's challenge:

no asparagus for me!!

^ ewwww! funny....but gross!

When I was a kid, this woman my father was dating forced (and I mean FORCED) me to eat asparagus, so I have an aversion to it.

Here's today's challenge:

I ate the asparagus....I sprayed some EVOO on it and along with some salt free seasoning and grilled it....you know what, it was actually pretty awful!

I didn't mind it when I had it before, of course I had steamed it and then drizzled a white cheese sauce over it....did I say drizzled? I meant poured....

next time I have to eat asparagus, I'm gonna pull a Newman (from Seinfeld) and deep fry it in chocolate sauce!!

btw, I tried brussell sprouts for the first time this week....I liked them

as for the sleep challenge....no problem...logged 10 hours sleep last night!! (wife got up with the kids this morning since she is on vac. - it was great!!....only problem is - I skipped my bible study this morning....sorry God...
it was Bob Harper's fault!!) ha ha ha

Schnellvaggio...how did ya fix them brussel sprouts?

Here's the weekend challenge:



I was one who had trouble. I went to bed on time, but I kept waking up ALL NIGHT.

mixed EVOO (about 1/4 cup) with 1 TBS minced garlic and then salt and pepper....(pour over the sprouts) put in a covered baking dish - bake at 400 degrees til tender....about 45 - 60 min

knocked about 3 miles today...have 3.2 to run tomorrow....ran in the rain today...I enjoyed it....made me feel tough~~

I walked the 10K after work on Sunday. All 6.2 miles of it at once. I've never walked that far in my life before. Now I can barely walk. LOL My legs are so sore, along with my sciatic nerve. Even sitting in this chair hurts. I can't even find a comfortable position in bed.

is it just what I'm seeing or was Bob's last challenge really from the 10th? Also is the last blog entry really from 5/27? Thought maybe I was not getting current info when i log on.

THat would be about right. Not sure about the blog part, but as far as the challenges, I know they are filming the show in Washington DC this week and Bob spoke in front of the Senate today. Haven't heard how it went yet.

I was on Twitter chatting back and forth with a friend of mine. Then I got up to go in the kitchen to get a drink, while there I gave in and grabbed a handful of the minature chocloate candy bars that I had been avoiding but wanting all weekend. When I got back to the computer the newest post I saw was one from Bob telling everyone: "Just Because its the weekend, It does'nt mean you should over indulge. Keep It healthy". *looks around* What the hell, is there a hidden camera around here or something??

^^^ LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, if anyone wants to "follow" Bob, here ya go: Bob's Twitter

Thanks for posting the link, I forgot to do that when I posted earlier. Oh and I did not eat the Minature candy bars earlier...I took the fact he posted that right when I was going to the eat them as a sign that I reallly should not give in and eat any of them.

I didn't realize no one posted today's challenge. Where did all my helpers go?
