The Borg Queen

Hi! Took a little break but am back now, ready to get involved again!

 

Going through some crazy stuff right now in my work and personal life, but fitness-wise things are going well.  I've started a barbell routine a few times a week and it's taken things to the next level for me. 

How! Lol!!!

My contribution:

 

Week 4

Usually at the end of challenges, people need some inspiration to get through to the end.

I, Borg Queen, am especially in need of motivation. Help me!!

For this mini, participate by posting a funny or uplifting meme, gif, or lol cat. 1 point/post.

Special award ceremony at the end.

I did the 30 minute butt workout (last week option 2) and boy was it a killer. The hardest part was keeping my back from arching. 

You arrrrrr awesome!! Way to go!

I did the 5 minute thigh workout tonight. Man, that was a lot harder than it looked...

Good job! Work it out, tiger!!!!!

Oof, sounds like the bestworst kind of career issue to have!

Yes. Currently feeling like I'm on a non-stop speeding treadmill to no where. Hoping I can make more, doing less, while being less stressed out.

Week 3 Mini: Time for Mindfulness (5 min, 1 point)

Because who doesn't benefit from some mindfulness. Calm little 5 minutes of respite for you!!

 

PS::: This is extremely easy. You just sit there.

I managed to find time for the five-minute shred, but seeing as how it was early in the morning and I was working out upstairs in a creaky old house while my roommates slept downstairs, I replaced the pop and jump squats with...just...more squats.  Hope it's cool if I still count it...my legs say it was quite the workout, pop squats or no.  

 

Also, every time I think about this mini-challenge, I hear the five-year-old I look after endlessly repeating "booty-booty-butt-butt" as she does on the way home from school.  Where did this come from?  Heck if I know...but I'm definitely infected.  Booty-booty-butt-butt, booty-booty-butt-butt, booty-booty-butt-butt.  

Booty booty butt butt! That's exactly what this is about.

I haven't gotten either of these in   If we do them during this week can we still make up points?

 

No problem! Especially that 30 min booty blaster-- that's a gem.

 

Honestly speaking, I also need to get my a$h in gear. 

Been trucken along, calorie by calorie. Had Valentine's set back due to 2 lbs of chocolate via my lovin boyfriend.

Dealing with career issues, as usual. Will I get a killer offer in the middle of our busiest season? Only time will tell.

 
always wanted to try paddle boarding. another of my bucket list item. sounds fun! go for it!!

Yeah, thank you!!!!

Week 2: Scouts Werken' the Booty

 

Why? 1. Because we like it. 2. Hip muscles support hill climbing and contribute to knee stability. 

 

Option 1: Booty to the rescue (5 minutes, 1 point ea)

 

 

Option 2: Advance your Booty (32 minutes, 5 points ea)

This exercise is worth 5 points, because it's 32 mins of Ting! She will whip your booty into a nice, round shape. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That. Was. A. Long. Ten. Minutes. 

Don't forget to add yourself to the spreadsheet, because you get a point!

That. Was. A. Long. Ten. Minutes. 

You did it!!!!!! Nice going, pardner!

And yes, abs of steel is just as serious as it sounds.

Very cool theme! The categories work well for these goals!!!!

Getting so close to my weight goal, I can taste it!! Starting to get excited. About 7 lbs away from my first weight goal, at which point planning to hire a godly trainer at my gym. Then will proceed to tone and shape the rest of it.

After that, I don't know. More paddle boarding?

This could totally be my post.  But they'ed be flaming hot cheetoes.  Some times we must fall back before we charge ahead.  

Yes plea$e to that!!! The Cheetos I mean.

I did that video this morning but my form was awful.  I got about halfway through and my hip flexors gave out so I had to do the second half with my feet on the floor for the reach crossovers

 

I'm so excited you'll be joining us!!!

I fixed!! Should be ready for you now. 

Day one of this challenge was primarily composed of cheezits.

Not the best start, but I have stayed within my calorie limit.

There's a mini challenge up orrr' yonder!

Week 1: Abzz of Steel

Get yourself some abs, 90's style. Level 1. 

 

Good luck!!!

1) Eat, drink, sleep, and exercise.

• 10,000 steps, at least 5 days per week.
• 7 h sleep per night, with a 10 pm regular bed time.
• Eat at a deficit: 1400-1600 calories per day. 

 

2) Meditate daily, 10 minutes x 5 days per week.

 

3) Practice Tai Chi 3 x per week.

Been wanting to learn Tai Chi for a few years now, but I dislike most of the teachers that I've met. Basic plan is going to be to practice with YouTube, and read about it.
