Challenges are posted!
My exercise goals this week are to run 3 days, Pilates 2 days, yoga 2 days, gym for cross-training & weights 1 day, & also complete the 6 small Zumba videos that are part of mini challenge 2 + a rest day. Should equal out to around 45 minutes per day (we each need to log at 20 minutes a day to complete this leg).
Nutrition goals this week are to drink my required amount of water to complete mini challenge 3 (already do this) and complete my 2nd of 3 weeks of not having any gluten, starchy carbs, added sugars, alcohol, and processed foods.1 -
So the weeks challenges include reaching out to each of our teammates and introduce yourself and friend request them
Easy as pie!
2nd- Try all 6 of the Zumba videos!
3rd- Drink half your body weigh in fl oz. of water. (Please don't do this if you feel it is detrimental to your health!)
Lastly, we have 2733 miles we need to complete, going over is always more than welcome
So thats about 144 miles/mins per person this week. You can do this! I believe in all of you!
As always, please reach out to me with any concerns/questions.
Did we want to nominate any co-captains at all?0 -
I've completed the first 2 mini-challenges and I *should* be able to complete the 3rd as well by the end of the week. At the time I was doing the Zumba videos, I didn't know if I needed to do all 6 each day or just for the week, so did them all since they were short. I've not done Zumba before and don't really have "dance moves", so I was glad I was the only one in the gym when completing that challenge, lol.
My other exercise goals this week are 3 days running, 3 days strength training, and some various other exercises from my Apprentice group challenge.
Nutritional goals this week are to drink a gazillion ounces of water and stay within my MFP recommended calories.

@rusgolden Fantastic! Think I'll try and nail the Zumba tomorrow - seems like a good idea to do it as one workout session and then it's over and done with. Keep it up. 1

same here.1 -
So I'm finished for today. I've surprised myself and managed to drink 2.75L for the Bottoms Up challenge, so only four more days to go! I'm just waiting for @Dnarules to accept my friend request to complete the Meet & Greet challenge and will be completing Ditch the Workout, Join the Party tomorrow. So far, so good. I'll be aiming for at least 60 minutes of workout each day and may stretch further - we'll see how it goes!
Please feel free to share your accomplishments and if you need any help then just shout. We're all here for eachother. 1 -
Took the dog out this morning before me 1st day on the new job to start Week 2 of the C25k. Then to celebrate the new job, my boyfriend and I rode bikes to a quaint little restaurant for drinks and food. Logging 79 minutes for today.

Only got about 30 minutes of exercise in today since I worked both jobs. Unfortunately, I will have to sit out on the water challenge. I physically can not drink half my weight in water!0
-
Did everyone log their miles (minutes) yesterday? The total sheet on the spreadsheet has us in 4th places for Monday but just a few minutes away from being in third. I'm going to do the Zumba videos today along with my other scheduled workout. It will not be pretty 1

@highlandshoppa I'm aiming for good habits and logging the spreadsheet daily. I've pushed myself a little further today. Maybe I'm a little competitive. Best of luck with the Zumba! 0

It's half your weight in ounces. So if you weigh 180 lb, you should drink 90 oz or 11.25 cups. A cup of water every hour should be doable! Give it a try :-)
For you metric users, take your weight in kilograms multiply by 2.2 to get lb.0 -
I will do Zumba tonight and log my other time. I don't know how well I am going to do on the water challenge... I struggle with that one. Didn't make it yesterday and only about halfway there today and the day is half over... we'll see if I can do it 4 more times!!0
-
I'm with @osche731 that it's crazy for someone my size to be able to drink half my weight in ozs. I drank over 100 oz so I'm counting it though. At what point does that cap off for the water?0
-
The body can safely excrete 800 to 1000 milliliters speed hour or .21-.26 gal. My suggestions from a professional standpoint is to try and drink 1-1.5 cups per hour. This will give the best benefit to your body and have most if not all of you at your goal!0

The water challenge is going to be a tough one for many to get to, but it is only 5 pts per person this week, so you might be better off for the team to add in a little more exercise time to get us into the bonus points. It is 13 cups of water for me and I've been doing a 10 cup a day challenge in another group, so wasn't too much more for me, but I do think it would have been better to have a cap on the challenge.2

I was planning on doing the Zumba today but have foolishly strained myself walking (sore feet and lower back) so will be giving it a miss today. I've soaked my feet in hot water and applied a warm pack so should be fine to continue exercise as normal from tomorrow.
Managed the Bottoms Up challenge again for today so that's 2/5. I'm 174lbs so worked out that I should be drinking 87oz (2.6L) each day. Usually I only manage 1L so I do understand it's difficult to drink so much (unless it's a bottle of wine), especially for those that are heavier - where is the cap?
If we can complete as many challenges as possible - great! As the organisers have said there will be different challenges each week and it is very likely there will be some challenges that individuals can't complete for personal reasons. It's okay! I think @rusgolden has the right idea with trying to make it up with a little extra exercise where possible. 2 -
Ok, finished Zumba -- I think I hate Zumba, but I did it.
Then I drank all kinds of water today and had to break my ban on public bathroom use -- once at daughter's softball game (so it was at a park; one step up from portapotty), and once at creepy gas station.
I hope we represent well -- I used public facilities twice for this challenge!3 -

I completed the Zumba challenge today and hated it too!2 -
I don't have a problem with drinking the water I add squash or a lemon.
I have been putting off the Zumba but I will get it done today.
I have been giving my dogs a extra walk too.1 -
I finished the Zumba challenge (37 min) and hiked with my dog for 76 min: 2.25 miles, 500 ft of climbing (and descending).0

I actually enjoyed the Zumba challenge, although I'm sure I looked pretty stupid. I think you're supposed to mirror the people, but my mind kept picturing being in line with them, facing me...scary!1

Hello everyone, how are we all doing today?
Just want acknowledge @ajfuelling, @highlandshoppa, @Jaeek, @littlebarry, @lja860813, @MajorMusic13, @rusgolden and @tyedyechick0930 for completing the Zumba challenge. It's great to have nipped this in the bud and hopefully the rest of us will follow suit soon - great work, team!
Our scores are looking good at the moment, but I don't want to jinx it as there seems to be missing data between the teams. It'll be interesting to see how the week finishes!2 -
We were in last yesterday evening and we are in 2nd right now. Team 1 is already relaxing on the beach in Miami and are organizing a volleyball game and drinking mojitos. We could easily make it to join them on the beach today with just a little over 30 minutes of exercise from everyone!!! So go get it and log your miles early so we can claim that 2nd place finish, we've got teams nipping on our heels. Let's land this plane
*I'm going to run on my lunch hour and log those minutes right away and then will add in my evening work-out later once it is completed.*3 -

I added my morning routine in as well. I actually think we would be close to reaching the beach if we could get the MIA members to add their time in. If you are having issues with the spreadsheet, post your minutes for each day on here and one of us will get them entered for you.2 -
Speaking of MIA members, when would be a good time to get in touch with MissionEnforcer? I'm unable to complete the Meet & Greet until I have the last name accepted. I'm not sure how anyone has points for this and have a feeling that these will be dismissed without a firm accept.0

I think I have everyone on mine.. I will have to check again. I will speak to MissionEnforcer today.0

We are only 254 miles from Miami and coming in 2nd on this leg....go, go, go! I just logged 38 minutes for my run and will log another 30 minutes around 4 p.m. after yoga. 4

True... I entered in my points since I sent out friend requests to everyone. According to the "rules" on this, it looked like if we had peeps who hadn't accepted any requests and were MIA by the end of the week, they would be pulled from the comp and we would keep the points for everyone else... or something along those lines. I think @Dnarules is still the only one that hasn't accepted mine yet.2
