I see we are having some trouble this week as a team :ohwell:
I am still aiming for about 450 mins of cardio (for myself and Skittles) but will try to add on more to help out the rest of the team. How is everyone doing on strength? I will get in 200, but if anyone needs help, let me know and I will try to get more in there. I will start doing double or triple the wall sits for the rest of the week (ouch!). I have off Saturday so I plan on getting TONS of cardio in with some dancing around the house :blushing:
Stats so far
Cardio 255/450 (Skittles and I)
Strength 80/180 (Skittles and I)
Food 4/6
Punishment 2/10 <--- will start really working on that (Skittles and I)
You are so awesome to adopt your team mate0 -
TJ1376, that is fantastic. Not liking the person in the mirror is inspiration to get moving. Thank you for sharing.
Thank all of you who have shared. I get a little more every time I read them.

Guys,
I might need help with the wall sits this week. I need to break the 5 minutes up into multiple session but I can't seem to find the time to sit against the wall early enough in the day. I can't do it at work because I don't have an office per se with a door. I haven't gotten home any night this week before 9 pm with visiting the hospital. Often then I am starting my workout. <sigh>
I will do what I can and maybe it won't hurt so badly if I don't use the 5 pound weighted ball? I will give that a try also.
I have been doing extra wall sit time every day.. I will have some to give at the end of the week....
I am super struggling with the cardio this week. It seems to bring the migraine on full force. I have been getting a good amount of yoga and active stretching...gotta figure out how to make it this week!
FunkyGranola - Why don't I donate my extra cardio to you. I will give you 100 minutes of cardio towards your total, if you will do some of those evil, evil wall sits for me. Whatcha say?0 -

Wow, TJ! Sorry, I think I somehow missed this comment. This board goes pretty quickly! I did two minutes of wall sits last night without the ball. Not really any better. My cat thought it was great fun and I was worried I would collapse on her. (While she was purring and rubbing against my legs for creating a new fun space for her.) Anyway, I will take donations from anyone! I am WEAK.0 -

M: 30 cardio
T: 60 strength/60 cardio

est total: 175st/300c0 -
coruscate7 - great job!
kawookie - I can donate 2 sets of wall sits to you! I don't think I can get more than 12 done though. They are not the most pleasant things to do! Hope its helps you out :flowerforyou:
I didn't get as much done yesterday as I had hoped but we are supposed to have 40 degree weather today so I will get out with the pup and make him walk awhile with me! Tomorrow is deep cleaning the house so that will bring on some dancing --- yea, I dance while I clean :blushing:
Let's finish off this week strong!0 -
Kim, you can break them up into shorter intervals like 30 secs at a time or 15 even. Think that will work better for you?
Have you guys read the other feeds with peoples stories? All I can say is how motivational!
TJ, I think I may make the 400 club after all. I'm trying very hard at least.0 -
Day 5 Friday 2/28/14
Format for the week:
Cardio: 497/220 (Aiming for the 400 club!) --> Next week 500??? who is with me???
Strength: 130/110
Martial Arts: 135/135 -->now counted into the cardio happy
Average calorie intake: 5/6
Weight loss for challenge: 5.2/9
Punishment (current) = Wall Squats: 5/5 days
I can give anyone who needs it the extra cardio (long run tomorrow, so should be adding on 120-130 more minutes), strength, and walls sits (doing them tomorrow too!)
NSV - had to have blood work drawn for a routine MD appointment, and the tech said I had nice veins, "you must drink plenty of water." :drinker:0 -
Perhaps I could break them up even more. For pride I was trying to do a minute at a time. I have 2/5 days done of these evil wall sits. I will see if shorter periods of time work better for me.
This doesn't make any sense. I have these large muscular thighs and you'd think this wouldn't be that hard. On the flip side I have this very flabby belly and ab work generally isn't a problem. So go figure. If these were planks they would have been done already.0 -
