Dazz I had to convert your bench press so I knew what you really did. It is a hair over our 55lbs. Now some people would think that is not much. But if you did all of them in one long set, I am betting your arms were dying by the end of it. :laugh: I sometimes do body pump. You do one set of muscles at a time. Usually to a song that lasts 4-5 minutes! :devil: I always made sure that I was on fire by the end. Go Dazz, now where is the rest of our team?
I have extra wall sits if anyone needs them. I have been doing two each day. So if you need them let me know.

Got in a kickboxing DVD today, two more wall sits completed, more push-ups, and another 45 minutes of weights. I am done. Night everyone.

I'm usually on fire when I do Fat Blast and Metafit was the first time I went and I was flaming hot because I did one straight after the other! Shelley, seriously, you are now going to be known as Steel Shelley because you must be made of steel!
Also, I didn't even realise that I'm actually the only dude here until you just pointed it out! Oh my God! Then again, with all of these gorgeous ladies to myself, who am I to complain?
Girls, keep on kicking *kitten*! DON'T FORGET TO SEND YOUR RESULTS TO ANGIE!!! Is that today or tomorrow?

Dazz, You are so motivating. Keep being you.
Here are my final stats. I have to be more organized next week.
Cardio-360
Punishments-13 five minute wall sits. Outer hips are feeling it.
Kick Boxing-150
Weight exercises-215
Bring Sally Up-2.
These numbers are all standing on their own. No duplication. I only did 40 pushups today. No, 44. No more for today. Yesterday was enough.
I purchased some new kickboxing DVD' s to change it up. I am pretty sure that I will really like Billy' s Favorite Moves. There are even some push-ups!
Where is everyone?

Remember to check in! Don't forget that there's a great prize this week, the top four teams get to add a new character from the show, who will make them points for the rest of the challenge.0

Morning everyone. My bench press is getting better. Just finished 90 pounds. Still no spotter. Hubby was outside playing with his project car. So maybe he will spot me next week. But 90 is still better than last weekend. I would have tried more if he had been in the room with me. So I am confident I will make my goal of 100.
So quiet here. Where are you guys? Tonight is another episode. So excited. Off to finish my workouts and house cleaning before the show tonight.

I'm doing loads better with my squats. I'm now on 50kg all the time. Before, I built myself up to 50kg but today, I wondered if I could just do it straight away so I did and I managed to do it. I'm proud of myself! Also, my toes are feeling much better now that I'm not jumping around, which is something I think I may have to avoid from now on when I'm doing Insanity.
I do have some news though: I'm not going to be weighing myself anymore. Seriously, it's too confusing. One minute, the scales say I'm under 17st and the next, they're saying I'm 17st 10lb. I tried the ones at the gym today, hoping I've lost weight and they told me I'm 15st 2lb. That DEFINITELY isn't right. I think measuring my stomach and my chest is the way to go from now on methinks. Is there any way I can just do that instead of weighing myself?
Also, does today's workout count for the week we've just had or does it count for next week's?0 -
Today is the first day of the challenge week, so it's for next week and you can send it in with everything else you do, right up to Saturday (the 8th). and, yes, throw your scale into the closet, (or better yet, out the window:bigsmile:) and measure and take pictures instead.

Errorist (a friend of mine on MFP) has shown me that post before, it's very informative. I was a total beginner when I read it though and had absolutely no clue what he meant. Errorist helped me with some of the stuff but I didn't fully get it. I think I do now. Thanks for reminding me! I'll send what I did today underneath but there is one more thing I need to know; how do I send my goals now that I've decided not to weigh myself? Do I do measurements weekly or take pictures monthly?

I would do both as often as you like. You can also look at your gym performance too, as a goal.Today is the first day of the challenge week, so it's for next week and you can send it in with everything else you do, right up to Saturday (the 8th). and, yes, throw your scale into the closet, (or better yet, out the window:bigsmile:) and measure and take pictures instead.

Cool. What do you mean when you say 'gym performance'?

Just how you are progressing through heavier weights or number of reps, does it seem easier, do you feel stronger...Cool. What do you mean when you say 'gym performance'?0 -
I haven't officially posted it yet, but Team Rick is number one this week! Four teams got a perfect 3.0: Rick, Carl, Tyreese/Sasha and Michonne. Rick had an extra 2 points that was divided among the team for when he killed the guy in the bathroom last week. So Rick gets first pick(I am going to assume, Abraham) and the remaing three teams are all tied, so to be fair the best solution may be for the three character's (Tara, Rosita and Eugene) kills to be added together every week and divided equally among the three second place teams. Is everyone okay with this?0
-
Cindy, that sounds like a great idea! Thanks!
Congradulations Team Michonne! We will be getting extra points for any kills made by Rosita, Tara and Eugene! ( Well if Team Rick takes Abraham!)
I am not sure of our placement but I do know that McDoug (Louise) is our MVP for this week! She is an amazing team player who really stepped outside of her comfort zone this week and completed a mud run! Great Job Louise!!
How is everyone doing this Monday Morning? I was down a lb on Friday morning but after the weekend I am UP! UGH! To much eating out and drinking. It's OK though, I am focusing on getting rid of all that was gained and then some! I started with a nice long run this morning and am planning on doing arms and kickboxing tonight when I get home, AND I am going to take my bike to see how far I ran this morning.
Happy Monday everyone!0 -

Reading through Ricks thread it kinda cracks me put hat people don't take Rosita seriously. Every one needs to read the comics so you know who is who!0

Awe, thanks Angi! I can't believe I'm MVP! :blushing:
Sorry I was AWOL all weekend. I was in my parents house and have no access to the forums from my phone. The run on Saturday was lots of fun for the first half of it and then the cold set in and I think I was close to hypothermia!! I don't remember crossing the finish line! Changing afterwards was so hard - I couldn't untie my shoes so my brother had to take them off for me, and then I had to get my sister to close my bra because my hands were not working!
But I absolutely loved the first couple of kilometers of it and I would love to do one in the summer when there is less chance of me dying!! :laugh: Despite how miserable I was at the end when we went drinking later I only had half a beer in me when I suggested we do another one! What's wrong with me?? I didn't realise I was such a masochist! :laugh: :laugh:
How was everyone else's weekend? I am still recovering from the run so I didn't do any workout yesterday or today. I attempted to go to the gym today but I pulled up outside it after work and decided I just didn't have the energy or the strength to lift weights so I will go tomorrow instead.0 -
I have been looking at the website for the official photos but so far I can't find any of me. This is the only one I have, its when we got back to the car and I had to plaster a fake smile on my face for the photo (I'm the one on the side wrapped in a towel, the happy people are my sisters and my brother in law)

Well done for making MVP, Louise, and well done for doing that run! It's such an amazing accomplishment! We're proud of you!
Ellie, we totally trust your judgment. Gutted we couldn't get Abraham but I think the fact we've got THREE characters in joint-second should totally make up for it, right? As far as I know, you're the only one on our team to have read the comics so I trust your judgments!
Guys, I'm unwell! I have a sore throat and I threw up a couple of times at work today. Bad times! However, I still marched on and did Insanity- Pure Cardio but unfortunately, that is all I've done! Sorry!

Oh my goodness Louise that was so awesome! I would have got in the warm shower clothes and all. And stayed in until I thawed out. What fun. You will so have to do one when it is warmer. Lol. There is a zombie run here in the spring. I might have to do it.

Just to clear up confusion, does doing extra cardio or strength help our numbers? Or do we only get 3 points for meeting our minimums and no more?0

I have been a little busy today.
Walking fast in full gear-90 minutes
Kickboxing & stepboxing-30
Weightlifting-30
Punishment circuit-1
I did quite a bit yesterday also. But I will have to post later. I will have to compare my notes. I do not mind the circuit punishment. I tried to get them to do one I already do ever day on a scaled down version of course. But no dice. :sad: :laugh:
Last night was a great episode. I have a feeling next week's will be suspense filled. :smokin: Ok team, let's get our workouts done. Right now my legs are screaming at me. :noway:
Shelley0 -
You earn the points by doing the minimums. Doing extra is what gets you noticed for MVP status and, as you know, can be shared. That's why we keep getting all these ties. This week, we should've/could've broken the tie by looking at everyones cardio/strength totals, but it would've been better if everyone had known that at the beginning of the week, so it's just easier to share everything up. In one of the upcoming weekly challenges we might look at overall totals, but we'll tell everyone at he beginning of the week.Just to clear up confusion, does doing extra cardio or strength help our numbers?

Ok, thanks for the clarity Cindy!
Team, I'm feeling much better this week and should be able to step it up a notch. Here's hoping Michonne shows up this weekend and gets in on the fun!0 -
Here's the punishment from Team Rick's captain. The good news is he decided that you only have to do it once this week and, as always, you can include it with your cardio or strength numbers.Posting from my phone at work so I'll be brief! The week's punishment is a quick circuit training routine:
1 min jumping jacks; 10 sit ups/roll ups/crunches; 1 min jump rope; 1 min side plank (30 sec each side); 5 burpees.0 -

What's a roll-up?0 -
I think it is meant to be read as 10 situps, roll ups OR crunches, so they must be a kind of sit up, where you roll up using your momentum, an easier version of the other two.

Hey All! Louise is so amazing! I love her pictures! Shelley you should definitely do the Zombie run! When I read that I looked up to see if there is one in my area! AND......... I JUST MISSED IT! UGH. So I am going to find one and do that, what fun!
Dazz, I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling well, please rest and take care of yourself, let your body heal then you can go back into punishment mode!
NOTICE: Team Carol has issued a Challenge to our Amazing Team Michonne! They are challenging us to do 500 minutes of cardio this week! WE CAN DO THIS! I will wait to get confirmation from everyone before I say yes, but I know that we can do this!
I am in, are you? Please feel free to pm me or respond on this board.
Happy Tuesday everyone!0
