    I'm not just saying this but that is one of the best tattoos I have ever seen in my life! The best tattoo I've ever seen is a Harry Potter one (naturally) and it had two quotes from the book in the shape of the Deathly Hallows symbol but the best thing about it was that you can't see the quote unless you get very close to it. I thought it was so cool!

    But my God, that tattoo is beautiful! I am also jealous that you've met Robert Kirkman!

    wow, they are awesome tattoos! But 6 hours!! thats a long time. Do you literally just sit there while they do it? will you not be bored out of your mind!

    I'm a little ashamed that I had to look up who Robert Kirkman is. I think I might be in the wrong challenge! I have a weird level of nerdness when it comes to things like that. I am a huge Joss Whedon fan and would love to go to comic con because there is usually lots of stuff related to him there. But i haven't a clue about anything else like that!

    I play around on the internet, read comics, talk to friends. 6hrs is long but I have a good tolerance for pain. Also, we take breaks every couple hours but it's really hard to get bored when you're being tattooed because of how much it hurts.


    And Daz, you're gonna have to run that one by my husband first. He might mind! :happy: :laugh:

    Also, the quote is "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" I think it's hard to tell from the pic.

    Ellis I love your skin art. Very nicely done. How kewl meeting Robert Kirkman. I am so jealous. A book signing, wow. But I, like Louise, could never decide on anything long enough, lol. Plus my career could be in trouble. But my husband has some really nice ones. He also has a really gross Rat Fink covering one calf. Disgusting creature.

    Dazz, really, are you proposing to married women? Shame on you. Lol

    Louise you had better have lots of fun. Have enough for us both. :)

    Well today was fast paced at work. My partner and I were moving non stop most of the day. And I have decided that using the cross walk is the most dangerous part of my day. I literally had to jump backwards to avoid becoming a white outline on the road! All that cardio is paying off. :bigsmile:

    Today I got up early and did two of my mini challenges.
    90 pushups on my toes. And 90 squats. Then completed another Sally Up. Walked for a minimum of 30 minutes on my lunch break. Then 30 minutes of kickboxing along with another 15 minutes of weight training. Bench press is up to 86 pounds w/o a spotter.

    Louise we usually check out a movie at the theatre with a friend or rent a movie on the weekends. And of course walk our boys. Sadly there were two dogs drowned this past weekend at the park. They ran out on the melting ice and fell through. The river is moving fast this time of year. One of them was a large St. Bernard. Only a year old. :cry:

    I love the tattoo. I wanted the DH symbol with 'Always' written where the Elder Wand would be. Don't know if I could go through with it though...

    Good Morning All! Ellie, those are some kick *kitten* tats! I agree with Dazz though, I don't know if I could sit that long, 6 hours is a really long time. I can barely make it through a movie, lol.

    Shelley, that is so sad about the dogs! I love my dogs and if that happened to me I would be crushed! I don't know what I would do! It's not like you can run out on the ice and save them! UGH, I just cannot image how horrible that must have been. I am glad you are feeling better.

    Louise, I am jealous of your plans! LOL. I need to make some plans for the weekend, although I don't think I have any extra calories.

    Dazz, another amazing workout! Keep up the good work. I have done Sally 4 times, I can almost make it through, the last time where you have to hold it really long gets me every time, I come up early but then I can finish the last ones.

    Happy Thursday!

    Angie great job on the Sally Ups. They are fun. And I agree about the ice, nothing you can do. The one lady did go in, but could not reach her boy. :( And the other dogs owner walked around looking for signs of his. He was crying. Broke my heart. And no closure. Only one of my boys ever goes in the river. But only when it is warmer out. I feel like I lost one of mine. :cry:

    I got in two thirty minute fast walks at work between courts. Planned on working out with weights when I got home. But the boys wanted to go walking. So we did. I must admit I watched them closer than usual even. I walked with a friend and her American Bulldog puppy. He is only five months old. We stayed over on the side away from the river. They ran and played it was almost normal. :smile:

    So today's totals were An hour and forty minutes of walking, and one Bring Sally Up. Did I mention I love Bring Sally Up? I like the one with the girl in black shorts and blonde hair better. She is fun. And Dazz, I do it all the way through. Guess my legs are stronger than my back. :smokin:

    Dazz, I heard you are a challenge *kitten*! :laugh:

    Yay! Well done for doing the challenge all the way, I'm proud. Actually, I'm proud of every single one of you for doing the challenge. Not many people would do this five times in a week so I'm very happy y'all are doing it!

    Oh and Shelley, you heard correctly. I'm a dirty *kitten* for challenges. Have you got one for me? ;)

    I might Dazz, but right now you are really doing great. So I will save them for when you hit the wall. You will need new things to do then.

    haha, you are right Shelley, hold on to them for when he's bored and needs a change in routine.

    I don't know how far I get into Sally because I take unintended breaks in the middle. I don't have much rhythm and in the parts where you have to stay down longer I come up early every time!! Ill keep at it though.

    Just back from the gym, I haven't worked out the actual numbers but I think I have only 25mins left of cardio to do (which Ill do in the morning) and I am over by 50 minutes for strength! wohoo!

    Thanks April. I am good for exercise minutes but if you want to burn off all those extra calories I just ate so that I don't have a big bloated belly tomorrow that would be much appreciated! :laugh:
    Everyone seems to be doing very well on their exercise numbers, we are actually struggling to give away minutes! I'm proud of everyone!

    I have absolutely obliterated today and made it my b!tch. I ended up doing the week's goal in a day. I also got messaged by a member of Team Carl to do their punishment. They've only done it once so I have to do it four more times before the end of tomorrow!

    I have done so much! There's also a little circuit that we learned in class today called "Zombies", which made me giggle a little because it made me think of this team. Basically, what you do is do one sit-up, go straight to a push-up and then run from one end of the room to the other and back. You then do 2 sit-ups and 2 push-ups and run from one end to the other. You then do 3 sit-ups and 3 press-ups and run...carry on until you're tired. It's brutally wicked!

    Dazz, you are cracking me up. Really, you picked the punishment, and now you are doing other teams punishment?

    Good job Louise! I might need to brain storm with you for a challenge for Dazz. He seems to have to much time on his hands! :devil:

    Sally 4/5. Yes Dazz I am doing them with good form. :bigsmile:
    Got in 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight training. Them dips I did are killing me. :laugh:

    Ok team, let's kick some zombie butt. Let's slice zombie heads from their shoulders.

    The only complaint that I have about doing the other team's punishment is that the person who messaged me has only done one out of four all week! I kind of wished they had messaged me sooner instead of leaving it this late but that's not to say it isn't do-able. I did one of them yesterday so three to go.

    Believe it or not, I don't actually have a lot of time. I just squeeze a workout in before or after work and on my days off, I go all out. Never stopping! haha.

    Well done on getting your minutes in, Shelley!

    Got all my stats to Angie. Had extra cardio. I keep forgetting that kickboxing is cardio. I count it separately!

    Dazz, love the sally squats with the barbell. I do lots of squats with a barbell in my Body Pump. And lunges also. Ow. I may have to start keeping my stats like you are. They look so much more professional than my chicken scratching. :laugh:

    I wish I had a little more time. My darling pets take up a lot of mine. But I will not cut them out of my day. I am off to clean my saltwater aquarium of any algae on the glass. I am adding copepods to it tonight. And they will cling in any algae on the glass and be eaten up way to fast at first light. :sad:

    Michonne better kick some zombie butt tomorrow.

    For anyone who is looking to contribute a fitspo, the thread is now in part 4. Remember you don't have to do it until week 9, but you can do it any time before then and those bonus points (2) will be counted towards you and your team's totals in week 9. Here is the new thread:

    Thank you, that's such a lovely thing to say. Let me take this opportunity to say that we're very proud of everyone for sticking to the punishment. Not a lot of people would have even attempted it but all of the teams in the challenge have given it a go and it's amazing to see such commitment!

    Well Michonne did not dice and slice anyone. But it was still a great episode. Eugene Porter seems like a pretty worthless character to me. I can not believe that the world is in his hands!

    Team I think we should consider doing the fitspo on the same week for maximum points. Ideas?

    Dazz, I can not wait to see the new punishment. I think you should volunteer to do our entire teams punishment. You know you want to. :laugh:

    Sara I agree it was a great punishment. It was fun even.

    Ok team, time to put on our A game once more.

    Today I got in 30 minutes of weight training along with a 40 minutes of cardio walking my boys.
    And Dazz, 1 Sally squat challenge. Lol

    Weight training included, but not limited to the following:

    105 full pushups
    90 lunges
    150 Squats & the Sally squats
    45 bridges

    Well my memory took off. Lol

    Shelley
    Yes, everyone who does it anytime will receive 2 points for week 9, which is the last week of the challenge. So far, I believe, only Dazz has done it.
