I am so sorry for not posting more on the thread.
Yesterday was my Anniversary and I am now officially married longer than I have been single. LOL. I also took the kids to a water park at WI Dells and it has thrown me off "official exercise" especially when it's a 3 hour car ride each way. Then, you want to snack while traveling. I haven't run since last Tuesday but have counted my work as exercise but its not what I like to do.
I really need to get eating under control. Its really the crux of the problem right now.
Kasi, I know the feeling all too well of trying not to break your rhythm.0 -
Eating right is sooooo hard!!! I don't feel like I eat the wrong foods, just too much snacking. Last week I tried to reboot my system a little and i think it helped. I made a menu that kept me within healthy ranges and ate that for 5 days (the weekend came and ruined it). Just having defined meals really makes a difference for me. I tend to skip breakfast, snack for lunch, then eat everything in site while I cook dinner:noway: :
So, my goal since the beginning of the year has been to get down into the 150's before I go on vacation and I think I might actually get there! I'm one of those crazy people that weighs themselves everyday and I've been at 161.2 for the last two daysbigsmile I can definately lose at least 2lbs in the next 11 days for sure!!! 158 will put me at my 10lb mark for the year also so I'm unbelievably happy right now!!0 -
That's brilliant, Kasi! You will definitely be in the 150's by your vacation! You are doing awesome! :drinker:0
-
Kasi, I agree!!
I just want everyone to know that I am going to withdraw from this contest even tho I have loved being a part of this team. I am trying to get this house ready for sale and shop for a new one. I am pulled in so many directions at this point, I have to consolidate my efforts. I will check in periodically - but, I don't want my scores to count because I hold the team back every week.0 -
Well crap! We will miss you Kim. I started this challenge and joined this team Carl cause you suggested it. I really enjoyed FINALLY being on a team with you. I love how supportive and encouraging you are:flowerforyou: You go ahead and take care of what you need to and I will check in with you April 1st for your next Fit n Trim Challenge.
How's everyone else doing? Did we lose Queenbee also? I wonder if the other teams have dwindled as much as we have:huh:0 -
Oh no, Kim, I'm sorry to see you go. I understand why you're leaving, but we'll miss you. Good luck with selling your house and finding a new one, and please do keep dropping in and letting us know how you're doing. Once a member of team Carl, always a member of team Carl! :flowerforyou:
So it looks like it's just Kasi, Kat and me left. Bridget, are you still out there?
We should really kill it the next two weeks and get team Carl to the top of the leaderboard. With so few of us left, if we work hard, we should get great points! We are doing really well as it is.
I think the other teams have lost a lot of team mates too, Kasi.
So, how is the week going for everyone? It was really hard to get my workouts in this week because of St. Patrick's Day on Monday (I'm Irish!) but I am going to count the beginning of the week as the 'me' time that we had to have this week. I'll be in beast mode until Saturday so that I hit all my goals.

Hey everybody, I am still here I have just had a few crazy busy weeks between work and school. Hopefully for the next two weeks everything will have calmed down so I can get back in the groove. I was down about 5 lbs but I have gained them all back with the stress I have been in. :grumble: Time to really kick it into gear again!0
-
Hi guys, sorry I was away for so long, I am still fighting this cold (its been about two weeks now) and I have been finding it more difficult to keep up with the challenge.
I would love to continue to try to stick with it if you guys want. I know you have all been working so hard and I feel like I let our team down.
I did fill in my numbers for the week and am going to go back and catch up on what I have missed.
Hope everyone is doing well!!!0 -
Yay.... Glad your back!!!0
-
I'm sorry to hear you've been unwell, Bridget. Yes, of course we want you to stay on team Carl! :drinker: Don't worry about getting your goals done, just let us know what you need and I'm sure we'll be able to cover for you.
Only two weeks left, team! I was really tired the last couple of weeks, but I'm ready to make these last few days of the challenge awesome! :happy:0 -
New leader board, recap and challenge are up. I still have to count this weeks kills, but that gives me an excuse to rewatch it tonight.0
-
We have two weeks left? Granted I was pretty tired last night but I could have sworn they were saying season finally next week.... i could be wrong.
Great job holding the MVP spot for so long Zombie!!! I've been trying to beat you but your just a rockstar!0 -
Tyreese and Sasha already chose a punishment exercise:
Inchworm: Stand up tall with the legs straight, and do like Lil’ Jon and let those fingertips hit the floor. Keeping the legs straight (but not locked!), slowly lower the torso toward the floor, and then walk the hands forward. Once in a push-up position, start taking tiny steps so the feet meet the hands. Continue bugging out for 4-6 reps.
Do 3 days this week.

It is the finale next week. Our challenge weeks start on Sunday, so we'll watch the show, do the challenge for one last week and then say our goodbyes. :sad: Until October anyway.We have two weeks left? Granted I was pretty tired last night but I could have sworn they were saying season finally next week.... i could be wrong.
Great job holding the MVP spot for so long Zombie!!! I've been trying to beat you but your just a rockstar!0 -
Hi everyone - just popping in to say Hi :flowerforyou:
I did 2.5 miles straight on the treadmill today without stopping which I felt was pretty good since it's been nearly 2 weeks since I ran last. My next goal will be 3 miles.
I do miss posting my goals with everyone so I think I will still do that but not count the totals.0 -
Hey everybody, I'm planning on doing the 30ds level 1 tonight with a 20-25 minute kickboxing workout too. Need to get back on track!0
-
Thanks Kasi :flowerforyou:
The 30ds is great, Kat! Let us know how it goes.
I'm glad you're still posting, Kim. You should keep posting your goals. I am so impressed at you running 2.5 miles without a break. You'll be running 3 in no time!
Oh my gosh, Cindy, are team Tyreese and Sasha trying to kill us? I loved the planks last week - can't we have more of them? Or squats? :laugh:
We did really well last week team. We scored a perfect 3 and we were only second to the teams who had kills. Team Carl is awesome! :drinker: :drinker:0 -
Ok, I did 4 reps of the inchworm today. I do not like it! Bring back the planks!
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, no? :laugh:
I set up a gym in the old dining room of my house. It took me ages to clear it out. It isn't finished yet, but I've enough space to do my exercises in it. I love it! It is so much fun working out in it. I'm dog sitting at the weekend, so I want to meet all my goals by Friday.
How is everyone else doing? Don't forget, we've 240 minutes of cardio this week.
Go team Carl! :drinker:0 -
I didn't mind the inchworm thing. My kids thought i was a little crazy when they caught me "bugging out" in my room though:laugh:
I will be in Vegas for our last week. I won't have a computer so I'll have to check in with my husbands phone. I'm doing a couple of other challenges that require weigh-in on Friday so I will probably just send my info to Cindy then and if I have anything extra she can distribute it where needed. Or actually, I will send it to Zombieinkspot so that Cindy doesn't have extra work if that's okay with everyone.
I'm headed to the gym here in a few... Gotta get some reps done:bigsmile:0 -
Yup, Kasi, send the info on to me and I'll make sure it gets distributed.
I hope you have a great time in Vegas. :flowerforyou:0 -
Hey team, I hope you all had a good week.
I am away this weekend, so I won't get anything more done today.
I am donating 32 extra cardio minutes and 81 extra strength training minutes to Kat.
Have a great weekend, team. I can't believe the last episode is this Sunday. :sad:0 -
Thanks! I was doing good at the start of the week then I came down with a horrible cold. The type of cold that makes your entire body ache, dizzy, and I just felt like I was going to pass out. I'm starting to feel better though!0
-
Oh no, Kat! Get better soon :flowerforyou:0
-
Sorry I 've been a little quiet lately. I've been focused on my trip to Vegas!
Queenbee are you still with us? I know you said you were gonna stick around but you haven't checked in. I will give you all my extra minutes if you need them.
I'm a little bummed that this challenge is ending. Hopefully next round our team will be able to stick together a little longer though. I can't wait to see the finale. You know, to be honest... when i signed up I had no interest in watching the show, I just wanted the challenge but now I'm kinda hooked:noway:0 -
I'm glad you have become a Walking Dead fan Kasi! :drinker:
I'm really sad the challenge is coming to an end too. October seems a long time away, but I'm sure the time will pass quickly.
I hope you have a great time in Vegas! I'm not surprised you're concentrating on the trip! :happy:0 -
You'll all remember in Week 4, winning a new character. This week that paid off: Abraham, Rosita and Eugene were all involved in the tunnel massacre with Maggie, Sasha and Bob. At least a dozen zombies were killed by that group, so we will give everyone involved in the shoot out 2 points.

I am starting a new contest that I would like team Carl & Cindy as well to check out if you are interested. You guys are awesome and maybe you would like to join. I really enjoyed the people in this contest.
I have been terrible about exercising since I was eliminated from my own contest and leaving this one. Please PM me if you would like to join.0 -

Tyreese and Sasha will be deciding the last punishment exercise of the season.
Also remember this is the week to get your 2 points for doing a Fitspiration, the early bird challenge 4 was:
A big part of survival in the apocalypse will be teaching and inspiring others. In week 9, there will be bonus points (2) awarded to everyone who contributes a fitspo to the MFP Fitspiration thread.

Add your fitspo here:

If you haven't done a fitspo yet, think of what you've accomplished in the last 9 weeks and make one now to make 2 points for your team this week. Browse the 4 part thread for inspiration (you'll find plenty). As you can see, a fitspo is just a motivational quote on a picture. It can be a before and after picture, a picture of yourself dancing, a picture of the street you jog on, the park you walk through or of an obstacle you've had to fight past. As long as the quote and picture have inspired you, it will inspire others. Message your team captain when you have posted one or remind them that you have done so already.0 -
