Hajenkatt going anywhere fun for spring break?
We are heading to New Mexico to visit friends. My birthday is at the end of the month, and when we moved I told my friends if they would throw me a party I'd come back for a visit. They're throwing me a party, so I am on my way down! LOL Part of my motivation for doing this challenge is for me to not only get into shape but be able to eat like a beast while I visit. I am so desperate for spicy, Mexican food, I swear I am going to eat three times my body weight in chiles and cheese.0 -
Morning Team!! I dont know what is going on this week, but between a two day migraine and piles of work I havent managed any exercise yet besides a little walking. Its going to be a struggle to get the minimum for me this week. I feel bad about that. So sorry.0

hey I got you on this week
so don't worry at all and I will do all your punishments.just try and relax the best you can and get better, I know how bad migraines can be. when I was younger I use to get a shot to help with them, but I think the shots hurt worse then having the migraine.
@hajenkat that sounds like a fun trip and I would do the same, I love a good party, plus you get to see friends so that is a plus. I also say to enjoy your self with the food, we have to have a cheat day never once in a while or for me I got nuts ( i think I just am lol ) and if I go to long with out I will over eat and not stop .but enjoy your self
As for me my face doesn't hurt as much which is good, my gums are a bit sore from the shots and I am eating soft foods because it still hurts to open my mouth wide from yesterday. I also have a ct scan to go to today for my tailbone but I will be working out after. my goal is 3 hours of work out today. I can do it 0 -
I have just finished composing a blog post about my UGW quandary. I would love to hear your musings and advice as I know some of you are further to your UGW than I am. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/kawookie
@TJ- Feel better.
@Skittles - Glad that your face is feeling better. Be really careful working out when you are having tailbone issues. Low impact for you!0 -

OH NO! TJ! We have totally got you! All of my punishments are bonus and I will have extra cardio. Coruscate sometimes ends up with extra strength... (she might be willing to share) We will pull you through this.
I have been out of the loop bc my phone took the route of permanent sleep on Tuesday. I got a new phone last night so I am back in the game!!!0 -

I don't mind taking on some extra strength (it is all the cardio that is the challenge in this challenge :laugh: )0 -

i did finish 1 of the punishments this morning... ouchy. ill be spacing the rest out over the next couple days.
hope everyones weeks get better!0 -
AWE!! Thanks you guys, you are awesome!!!!
I checked the numbers I do have. And I have 200 cardio and 40 strength so far. Thankfully I have a parttime job that qualifies as exercise. I might be able to make all my minimums but there wont be any big numbers this week.
Oh, crap, I forgot the punishment exercises!! I will need someone to cover me on those if I cant find the time between now and Saturday. Luckily I have no plans so I might get to them Saturday morning.0 -
TJ- migraines really suck! I am thankful that I haven't had one in a few weeks, but I know they can knock the wind right out of you! Hope you are feeling better!!
Coruscate- glad to see that you have caught up on some sleep!
Skittles- glad to hear you are starting to feel a bit better too! I agree with kawookie though... be careful when it comes to tailbone problems!!
On a personal note, TOM arrived for me today and screwed up all my plans. I did get a chance to go grocery shopping so I have healthy food options to snack on but cramps generally knock me down for about 12 hours. I wanted to take Murphy for a walk today but I just don't think I'll be able to do that. I am hoping that by this evening my body has evened out some and I will walk during my tv shows. I really want to hit at least the 500 club this week so here's to hoping I feel a bit better later tonight!0 -
I'm glad to know that I am not the only one having problems with these Spartan bows! I feel like a complete klutz doing them. I fall over just standing on one leg, so half the time I do these I tip over
On the good side, they must work, cuz my butt hurts:laugh:0 -
I am having a hard time with them too as far as balance. Maybe it's more for balance?
Just remember that we are competing teams this week so when you want to donate cardio or strength to donate to your teammate. Only the winning team this week will turn in their numbers to represent the team as a whole. Hope that makes sense!
I think we are used to being nice to eachother. LOL!
HajenKatt, let me know if you plan to sit out the week you are gone. That is totally doable.0 -

My butt hurts. I just needed to say that.0

The punishment seems to be getting a little easier (not more graceful, but easier), so I decided to do today's set holding hand weights. It actually helped with balance.:laugh:

My butt hurts. I just needed to say that.
hahaha... aaaaw! its a GOOD hurt tho!!!
this isnt a 'brag' moment.. but just something ive been pondering... i havent had DOMs since my first week back to lifting. its sad... i kinda miss it. i cant tell if its just that im pushing soo hard with the lifts and my Tabata class. not sure. honestly... not sure its a GOOD thing either.0 -
What is DOMs? I hope your leg is feeling better. I can't believe it's Friday already! I have been training my replacement at work this week. Since the pasta shop is still not close to being ready, I'm hoping my boss will let me stay on a bit longer so I'm not out on the streets.(being dramatic) My replacement looks like she will need more time to learn my job anyway.
I haven't been doing monster numbers but I have started lifting heavier weights and using the total gym more. I don't know why I'm so resistant to lifting weights. I just feel like it's a guy thing and I know I need to get over it already. I am at that point in my weight loss journey where I have been at the same weight for a couple years now. It goes up and down but seems to stay in the same range. I know for my height I should be weighing much much less. Let's see if heavier weights do the trick.
I'm doing our local St Pattys day dash. It's a 5 k run but since my knee is still not 100%, I will just be walking it. It's suppose to rain cats and dogs. I thought it was on Sat but it turns out it's actually on Sun. I have a half day today so I will try to get some more cardio in. I'm done with strength and combat this week but am not done with the spartan bows.
Hey guys, I think this week the winning team will pick their own MVP this week to represent the team. When you turn in your numbers tomorrow night, include your vote for MVP. You can PM me if you don't want anyone to know.
Have a great weekend and go team HOPE!!!0 -

Thanks for letting me know that my butt was supposed to hurt. It didn't before but now it has started to. :grumble: Using a weight in my opposite hand seemed to help counterbalance me some.
@coruscate - If your TOM is missing, you might be pushing it too hard with your exercise (that is if you ruled out the obvious reason for TOM to be AWOL). I don't think it is good to be missing it for too long, so you might want to have a conversation with your doc if it has been more than 60 days.0 -
Hi! I know I'm not on your team, but I thought I would pop in to say that DOMS is delayed onset muscle soreness---basically an overly long complicated phrase for feeling sore the day after (or sometimes much later the same day as) your workout. I don't think that coruscate needs to worry about being pregnant from missing DOMS LOL :laugh: too cute!0
-
OOOH, thats what that means. I get that so I guess that means I actually do work out hard sometimes. cool!!
Wait...people actually want to feel pain? Why?0 -
What is DOMs? I hope your leg is feeling better. I can't believe it's Friday already! I have been training my replacement at work this week.

Sara - I dont know if you will see the difference, but for me lifting has made a HUGE difference. I was on the cardio train for years, without seeing any noticeable results. I started lifing, and I have dropped over 10 pounds, and better, I am seeing the inches come off. For the first time in forever, my thighs are under 4 feet! (Yes, I had 24' thighs, which if you add it up equals 4 feet of thighs!) I think once you get into a routine, and start seeing results, you'll love lifting. I hope so!0
