I'M STILL IN!!! I checked with Sheri and so many people dropped she let me stay in (there were people who did less than me last week).....I'm so glad I'm not eliminated.
My give up for the week is ice cream (this is a familiar one if you've done the challenge with me before)....in ALL forms (milk shakes, sundaes....) I don't even think I'll be able to have frozen yogurt as it is my gateway to ice cream.....my penance is 50 mountain climbers (50 per side). I'm going to get started now, I just wanted to share my excitement with the team!
:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
:bigsmile: :bigsmile:It would be more beneficial for me if I could give up WEEKENDS!!!
Right???!!
Ok. Will this work? I am going to aim to keep my carbs at 100g or less. Every gram over earns me 1 pushup. How's that?0 -
Hey Sharks! Week 9 is just the challenge I need to get back on track! LET'S DO THIS!!!
Last week I got 35 points for water.
I decided to give up all alcoholic beverages, since they appeared a little too often last week. :blushing: If I have any alcohol this week, I will have to do 25 FULL sit-ups as penance (per glass!) :laugh:
Have a great week everyone

@kvon: I don't know...I sent Sheri a message asking her; I'll let you know what she says!
@ Melissa: NO ALCOHOL??? :noway:
Don't do that when we make our xmas trip in a couple of weeks; I was hoping you and I could get together for *a* drink!
:drinker: (We'll be visiting my family in GA and Brian's in FL.)

workout: 90 minutes - 60 min. yoga; 30 min with Leslie CARRYING THREE-POUND HAND WEIGHTS!!! (ouch!)

SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE (only mine!)0 -
Well Sharks the time has finally come that I have to slow it down
Started swelling last night and the dr suggests I start taking it a little easier I can still clean and do all that stuff but she said working out other than yoga probably isn't the best bet lol Still gonna stay on and cheer everyone on tho! Good luck this week sharks! You rock!:flowerforyou:
So sorry to "lose" you BUT this is completely understandable! You have been fabulous to have carried on to this stage :flowerforyou: Make sure you come back and cheer us on from time to time - and also to update us on how you are doing. I also hope that once your little girl arrives we will get to see a photo!
Look after yourself Kristin. Thanks for bringing so much motivation to the Sharks!0 -

I this! I have now noted it down in my list of favourite quotes. Here is one of mine (no idea who said it though!!!):
"Instead of giving yourself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can."
We CAN do this Sharks!0 -
@ Mary - I'm glad you actually got those extra burpees in :bigsmile: Yes, I'm a "mean" friend like that! But it's all GOOD for you :laugh:
@ Kristie - I would have thought that your carb limit would count as a "give up", but I guess we wait for Sheri's reply. Very brave of you to try to limit that!!! :flowerforyou:
@ Samantha - YOU ARE STILL IN - :bigsmile: :happy: :bigsmile: SO VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT! Sheri wrote to tell me she had given you a "grace week". Now show her what you are made of :bigsmile:
@ Melissa - Giving up alcohol :noway: ... I have no words! You have actually made me speechless (and it takes a lot!) :laugh:
You are all fabulous 
I know we can finish this week, even if Sheri seems to be making up for her kindness last week and is now trying to get some of us eliminated. We will show her what we're made of....:happy: 0 -
Happy Tuesday Sharkies! I hope you all have a great healthy day planned! We got a bit of snow at my house last night and for the next week the highest temp forecasted is 19! lol I guess winter is in full swing! Gonna spend the day doing a little bit of sorting and organizing and working on potty training! Eek lol Son is doing great at it though! Good luck on all your give up staples this week! I thought I should set my self a goal of something to give up this week and mine is going to be baked goods! This last week has been awful hehehe so I am going to do my best to not bake anything for the sake of baking all week lol that is gonna be hard!
I will for sure put up pics when Little missy is born! Only 39 days still she is due but the dr and my self think she may make an early appearance like her brother so more around 25-30 days! Crazy!
Here's a little motivational quote for the day!

I can't remember if I've posted this already...if so, it bears repeating! I really like it (and need to remember it!)

Ok. Posting between clients on the Admins computer. My phone is now NOT a substitute for the computer I gave my parents. Pooh!!! I will post when I can and if I can. Monday HIIT 15 MIN. STRETCHING 10 MIN. RAKING 60 MINS. Can't check burn right now but I will add it later. I can't log so points may be difficult. I will try to handwrite my log using food labels. I use moms computer sometimes but they are away. I do not know when I can get on again. I only volunteer here one a week. Gotta let my supervisor back on here. Keep killing.0

3. 25 weighted squats
4. 2x5min stretching done
5. Stayed under 100g of carbs (94g)0 -

Hope you find a way to get on here from time to time Donna! I have posted what you have given me. Let me know your burn at some point and if you did any new reps. Also I need to know what staple you are giving up and your penance if you fail (which I hope won't happen!) Praying to get to connect again at some point! :flowerforyou:0 -
TUESDAY:
WORKOUT: 60 minutes total (30 minutes circuit training, 20 minutes aerobics and 10 minutes reps work - but NOT the reps mentioned below - they were done at a separate time :happy: )
Calories burned: 581
(Still need to do 1 90 minute and 1 60 minute workout)
REPS: 50 new reps - Started Ripped in 30 week 3 this week (have tried Ripped in 30 before, but given up before getting this far :laugh:) JM has a rep she calls Toe taps - which is basically an abdominal crunch and chest presses with handweights combined. I thought they were OK, so did another 2 sets of 25 later on in the day. Hmm ... not so OK after 50 of them!!!!! OUCH! Still, that is half of my "new reps" done :bigsmile:
(50 more new reps to go!)
STRETCHING: Did 10 minutes. This is honestly getting easier to do without getting bored :happy:
HIIT: Yes, did 15 minutes. Intervals of jumping jacks, butt kicks, burpees (1 whole minute :noway: ), mountain climbers, high knees, jumping jacks (again! Like that one!) and plank jacks.
(3 more HIIT to go :mad: :noway: )
Give up - NO bread today :happy: :happy: :happy: So therefore NO push-ups (even more :happy: )

And to continue quoting that great Brit :bigsmile: , here is my encouragement for today:
"Never, never, never, never give up!" - Winston Churchill.0 -
This 'encouraging' quote made me think of my naturally-skinny sister:
"Where there is no struggle, there is no strength."
(Sorry if it was bad of me to think of her in regard to that, but she's my height, weighs about 100 pounds after having five kids, and gloats about it to me. I have to WORK for every fraction of a pound! She got my dad's figure; I got my mom's!)0 -
And my encouragement for today:

Sorry I have been absent today! I logged my exercise this morning as soon as I had done it and then intended to come on here to post on this page later. HOWEVER, electricity has been cut most of the day meaning I couldn't get online! I have missed catching up with you! And have decided that it is worth sacrificing my "no computer past 9pm rule" even though that means I have NO spare days now and need to get off before 9pm every night from now until Sunday in order to get my no bad habit points :laugh: Can't not check MFP and FB before I go to bed :laugh:
So here are my WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY:
WEDNESDAY:
WORKOUT: 90 minutes :bigsmile: (60 minutes on the elliptical - and yes I still HATE it as much as the first time!) and then 30 minutes circuit training (although didn't do the Week 3 Ripped in 30 I should have done, but went for a week 1 as I wasn't sure I'd survive week 3 after an hour on the elliptical :noway: )
Calories burned: 764
REPS: no new ones
HIIT: Not today.
SRETCHING: yes, did do 10 minutes of this!
Give up: Yes, kept away from the bread so no press-ups today :happy:
THURSDAY:
