Tough week for me. Didn't get as much done as I would've liked to. My younger sister went into labor yesterday at 4 months and lost the baby. We actually got to see him and say goodbye. I had to work today and now have to be on the road by 330am to meet my mother in law. She's taking the kids to Philly for Thanksgiving. And I have to work in the morning too. Hopefully I'll be able to put up some more #s before the deadline.
I forgot to report my situps from Thu. I did 30.

So very sorry to hear this. Thinking of you, your sister and all the family :flowerforyou:0 -
FRIDAY:
WORKOUT: 60 minutes circuit training and cardio (7 miles) then I added 60 minutes of moving boxes (although in reality I spent much of the rest of the day doing this - but with some coffee breaks!) - am making that 6 miles (2 miles for each 20 minutes). Total 13 miles
Calories burned: according to MFP that is 1166, but that sounds a lot. If tears weigh something, it might be more accurate!!!
REPS: 50 sit-ups and 50 reverse crunches.
STRETCHING: 10 minutes
FRUIT AND VEG: 4
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE!0 -
This isn't really motivation, but it made me laugh, and I needed that this morning. Hope it makes someone else smile too!
ENJOY YOUR REST DAY TODAY! BACK TO IT TOMORROW SHARKS!!!!0 -

Mary, TUESDAY I *only* did 9 miles. I broke it down as 7w/o and 2 actual....sorry that drops our #s. I cannot access the spreadsheet. Sorry I didn't see all question before today.
Who has a sore midsection besides me?0 -
Thanks Donna! All entered (and Tuesday corrected).
And yes, I am so proud of us too :bigsmile:
And only another 22 miles and we will have hit team target. Not heard from Kate all week, so if she shows us before the deadline, we could be OK!
In any event, SHARKS HAVE DONE AMAZINGLY WELL THIS WEEK!0 -

SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE!
Just need Kate to check in!!!!!!0 -
Bacon? Thanks...I'd love some!
Thursday:
workout miles: 4 (40 min yoga)
actual miles: 2 (40 min walk with my 12-yr-old)
stretch: 10 min
core reps: 125
sit-ups: 40 (not at one time! 2x20! - yes, Melissa, these are horrid!)
fr/veg: NO...only two...I'm having a starchy carb (& tequila) kinda day! OK?
Yeah...I'm thinking Saturday's weight will probably be better! :noway: :laugh:
Pam - I changed your miles on Thursday. You had already done 2 actual miles before Thursday so you only needed one more. I therefore added that one to the actual and made your Thursday workout miles 5 not 4. Might as well get all the team workout miles we can! :bigsmile:
@ Mary - I did the same to your Monday one!
And while we still needed 15.52 miles to reach our goal, we are close (currently the closest team to the goal ... but that might change if not everyone has posted!) SO WELL DONE SHARKS!!!0 -
I think my Tuesday calories went uncharted...hard to read from my wee phone. If true, it was 842 calories (listed on page 10 of this thread...) From what I see, we are cooking!0

Well, we sure covered quite a bit of miles this week!
We are the BEST!!!0 -

I just put it on the chart for you. I don't think Sheri minds too much if you are a little late. You are not up for elimination and we expect you to be gaining a little! But good to record so that she knows you are still contributing to our team and wanting to continue.0 -
Well done Sharks! FOUR of us in the top ten again :bigsmile: :bigsmile: VERY proud of us
So this week is easier and noone will be eliminated IF THEY COMPLETE. But let's not get relaxed. Keep up the great work Sharks.
I have had a very busy day, so will post more tomorrow, but here is my motivation for today:

When asked about the success of a shark, just say
0 -
Yeah, four in the top ten again...we are really something else!
I seem to be on a mission this weekend to see just how many calories I can consume; I don't know what my problem is! Actually, I have a theory that maybe I just *need* to eat more for...ummmm...recovery or something. I'm just hoping a little breather won't affect my weight *too* much...although the week heading into Thanksgiving is NOT a good time to be on this kick!
My dad and stepmom are coming into town on Tuesday and staying with us until Saturday, so there will be a lot more food around ALL WEEK!
:noway:
But I'm a SHARK...I believe I can get through this, so I'm gonna get through it! (And hopefully not come out five pounds heavier on the other side! lol!)
GOOOO US!!!0 -
Anyone else THANKFUL that we do not have to go so hard this week? ALL of my fingernails broke. I am sore, bruised, swollen. My hands are cracked and scratched. Today was FRIGID. And know what? I feel waaaaay better than if I had sat on the big comfy couch watching reruns of The Middle! Now, if the swelling goes down, maybe the scale will too.
Also, I wanted to know how many Sharks are not Americans this Thanksgiving week. Just curious since I know we have a Brit from Mali, an Irelander, an Ontarioan, and Kylie is an Aussie. Any others?
Edited to Add: I shoulda gone with "SHARX" so it would fit!0 -

Oh, and I posted one of my positives and entered my stuff on the chart!0 -
I just what Pam wrote as her positive physical attribute, so I am going to copy it on our page here too so none of you miss it! Here is what she wrote on the main page:
OK, for a positive physical attribute, I'm going out on a limb and naming my stomach. My tummy is my LEAST perfect feature (by far,) after four babies, a tubal reversal, and hernia surgery. So, I have decided to claim it as a positive, just because I care enough about it to take care of it and work on it...
Pam - YOU ROCK! Thanks for making me think more positively too :flowerforyou:0 -
My heart sank when I read Sheri’s challenge for this week yesterday morning. I had got up very early that day to get a quick workout in before a hectic day of food prep. We were celebrating my daughter's 14th birthday (which is actually later this week, but since it is the last big birthday any of my kids will have in Mali - by the time my son and other daughter celebrate we will be back in the UK - we decided to have a big celebration yesterday, Sunday). So family and some of my daughters’ friends were all coming round for a big meal. I knew as soon as I read the challenge, that as a non-American, this day would come as close as I would get to a Thanksgiving! So my heart sank as I tried to figure out how to get another workout in! (Having only done 30 minutes that morning - and I am after LOTS of points ) Anyway, I DID IT
My daughter had 5 friends here for the day (in addition to family) and I had told the parents we would get them home. I decided that instead of driving them all home, Abi and I would walk them home! Abi, my daughter, is used to the strange ideas Mum has when Sheri sets her challenges but I'm not quite sure what her Malian friends made of the weird white woman who OWNS a car and doesn't use it and makes guests WALK home!
So all that to say that Abi and I took a 50-55 minute walk around town "dropping" her friends off, so I have written to Sheri to ask if I can count my Sunday as my “thanksgiving” and get my workout with family points! I also got 150 reps in before bedtime too - so think I max-ed out on the Thanksgiving points, if she does count my Sunday as your Thursday!
Not quite sure how she wants me to enter this on the chart. Do I put it all in on Sunday, even though Sheri will be looking at Thursday for Thanksgiving workouts and reps? I have asked her to let me know, but for now it is on the chart as Sunday workout. I can change it later if I need to.
When I logged on yesterday I was feeling virtuous for having got up early to get a workout in, and then I saw that if I was going to do this properly I had to get MORE in that day!!! Glad NOW that I did do it though!
So my SUNDAY:
WORKOUT: 80 minutes (30 minutes circuit training and then 50 minutes walking)
Calories burned: 505
REPS: 150 (50 sit-ups, 50 chest presses with hand weights, 50 chest flies)
STRETCHING: 8 minutes done
And got the 45+ minutes in with a family member - as long as Sheri counts that as my Thanksgiving Day!
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE!
I also just put my first positive physical attribute on the main page. This is what I wrote:
“I love the way my arms are beginning to look. All this circuit training and weights work has made me see muscles in my arms that I never realised were there. The flab is beginning to go and I am wearing sleeveless T-shirts often right now (Yes, I live in Mali not a cold UK at the moment :bigsmile: )”0 -

Hope you get to rest those muscles up this week! Is the fence finished now? If so, we'd love to see another photo!!!
I think you are right that we have quite a high number of non-Americans on our team! Maybe that will help us for the weigh ins this week :happy: . I know I was up weight-wise this morning after our big day yesterday (sneaky step on the scale this morning was NOT a good move!) - but I get the rest of the week to work it off! It's horrible that Thanksgiving is Thursday just before weigh in day! BUT I know you SHARKS ROCK! So enjoy your time with family and friends. Have a fun Thanksgiving and work harder than those 120 minutes to do some damage-control :bigsmile:
And thanks SO MUCH for posting that summary for us Nonna!0 -
