OK wonderful Sharks! We can totally ROCK this week! You all did great last week, and I just know that this week is going to be even better.
The reason we have so many other teams posting "Smack talk" on our page is because they KNOW we are the team to be afraid of :laugh:
Thanks to Mary for posting the points challenge. One "alteration" though: I asked about the #4 and #5 part - it seems that we get 25 points for a COMPLETE satisfaction of these parts, NOTHING if we only complete in part, but that the -10 points is if we complete no part of them. At least that is how I read Kelly's answer on that page. Maybe we should PM Sheri to check?
And on that note, I too thought that the habits were for the 5 days of the normal challenge, so I want to amend my habits to 5 out of the 7 days! (Although I will try for all 7 - just can't guarantee that it will work on my "days off" and don't want to set myself up for failure :-)0 -
My stats for Week 2 so far:
SUNDAY:
Was in the village all day, so didn't get a lot in! I DID manage a 40 minutes leisurely walk around the village though - not a great speed, but it was VERY hot, so lots of sweat :laugh:
Workout: 40 minutes
Calories burned: 161
Reps: none
Flexibility: none
MONDAY:
#1 WORKOUT – 30 minutes circuit training. 322 cals
(45, 60 and 90 w/o to go).
#2 REPS
150 reps in total
Cardio - 100 jumping jacks (2 lots of 50)
Core - 50 sit-ups (2 lots of 25)
(250 still to go!)
#3 FLEXIBILITY
10 mins done …. unlike Mary, I am not enjoying this part of the challenge. I find it hard to keep stretching for 10 minutes! What do you guys do for all that time? Please help me out with ideas here!
#4 Points:
I too want to keep track as I go along. I will add up at the end of the week too.
Water – 5 pts, Sodium < 2500 mg – 5 pts, w/o mins (30) – 5 pts, good habit - yes (did my 15 minutes clearing a kitchen cupboard), Bad habit – yes (will turn off computer as soon as this is posted! And it is now only 8.25pm, so that WILL be before 9!) - so far so good on those! Positive comment on shark page – 1 pt, Smack chat – not done yet. Total 16 pts.

Hi y'all! ...Internet at a campground? Awesome!
Today, I have 105 minutes for a workout...combination of walking and hiking! no reps, 10 minutes of stretching...
I will have to tally up my points and report on that tomorrow...

OK - I was wrong and Mary was right - having to admit that is good for me :laugh:
This is what Sheri has posted on the points challenge about # 4 and # 5:
"As for #4 & #5 - I ALSO...made this count for all 7 days because many of you allotted time for something 4 days a week (or 5 or 6) and I KNOW on certain Hardcore Challenge days that might be Impossible for some timewise- so having challenge "off" days to complete part of your "goals" may prove quite helpful for many!
And YES You Do have to Complete YOUR ENTIRE #4 to get 25 pts AND your ENTIRE #5 for those 25 pts - But IF you miss your mark you do DEDUCT 10 pts from your total instead of getting the 25! (hoping that didn't sound more confusing)
As I Said...You do get 1 Chance to Change yours if you feel you need to...without losing the 25 pts for changing - (you still lose your 10 if you didn't complete the week though (sorry!) BUT this is a chance for a change if you find this can't work for you! DO NOT MAKE THIS EASY to get your points!! IT SHOULD BE A CHALLENGE and hopefully something you will be Really Proud of Completing By Then End!! Keep That In Mind When You're Struggling!!
AND Don't Freak Out If You Have a Bad Week and have to deduct points!! I would be VERY Surprised If Everyone didn't have at Least 1 or 2 weeks where it just wasn't possible for whatever reason! So we are all on a pretty level playing field! We ALL Have Lives And Cannot DO EVERTHING!!! Just Do Your Best!!! Thats All I'm Asking And All You Can Ask Of Yourselves!! PUSH Yourself!! But Don't Kill Yourself with this!!!! heart"
So it is either that you do your habit/hobby challenges 100% and gain 25 points, or you don't make it (whether not at all or just miss it) and you lose 10 points! Well, that certainly pushes us!
And yes, we seem to have got other teams a little scared :happy:
Have a fabulous day Shark Pals. You are all THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I this team :bigsmile: 0 -

So glad you are connected :happy: Thanks for that post - just one question: How many calories did that amazing workout burn? Let me know and I'll add them to the chart.
Enjoy your break!0 -

I didn't know if we were starting a Week 2 sheet so I started here.
Week 2 - Sunday
90 minute workout (30 minute swim, 30 minute dog walk, 30 minute yoga - it was all consecutive): 477 calories
0 reps - to be honest I'm probably not going to do these... If I can get any workout in I am happy!
10 mins flexibility done
My news this week is my blood tests confirmed I'm a little further along then I thought (maybe a week) but have to wait for my dating scan in three weeks. I'm so excited for it!
Just to clarify: We decided NOT to start a separate page for each week as it would get too confusing for other teams (and fill up all the Elim challenge page!) This is especially important now that other teams are posting on our page - makes it easier and clearer for everyone. So, we will keep posting all our stats and communications here (the leaders will just keep track of where we are with posting), but we will keep the separate page for weigh ins so that we don't lose any of that information which always needs to be posted as quickly as possible on a Friday morning. The weigh in page has "week 1"in the title, but in fact we will use the same weigh in page each week - just make sure you put "week 2 - weigh in: .... " this Friday! I will see if we can edit the title at all.
Hope that all makes sense! Ask if you have any questions.
And Kylie - let us know when you have a date! We are excited for you too!0 -
I might not be very good at smack talk, BUT I'm a DOLPHIN so I know I'm good at something.0

Howdy sorry it's been a day or two I have been busy busy busy this weekend!
So I need to specify my bad habit change. Maybe I will change it to Limit "treat foods" to 300 calories per day as right now they are much over 600!
Will that fit the criteria!
Also Since I am a points only challenger shall I just post points or does my other creds help the team? I don't wanna give the team leaders more to read than they need too!
Sharks we so got this! WE have been a force to be reckoned with every challenge I've been in and there is nothing different about that! Let's chomp chomp chomp our way to the top!!!
I will post my points this afternoon once I hear back on the other specs so I can do it all in one post Core and cardio reps are bit of a challenge for me but I am going to see if I can't find some I'm thinking a lot of Shadow Boxing and Kicks will be in place can't bounce a whole lot for Jumping jacks etc hehehehe!
Hope every one is having a wonderful day! :flowerforyou:0
