Morning teammates!
This morning we are going to go look at long term acute care facilities for my dad. We are hoping he will be released from the hospital as early as Tuesday.
I am at 300 for cardio and 90+ for strength. If team hopeful needs any strength or cardio I would be happy to help -- just let me know. I can tailor my exercise today accordingly.
Last night my husband and I actually took an evening walk because the weather was finally nice enough. :drinker: It is nice to get quality time and exercise simultaneously.
Everyone have a great Saturday and don't forget to check in this evening!0 -

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!
[/quote]
yikes, I think I have 4 feet of thighs! I will continue my lifting journey! Thanks for the encouraging words!
Kawookie, I hope the long term care facility helps your dad transition better. My hubby and I walked/fought and then made up during our 5k. LOL! Quality time? I guess over all it was. I'm done with the punishment. I'm so not balanced!
I really hope we win this week. I want to dish out a punishment for a change.0 -
I'll early this week. Cuz I'm done! And the kids gave me the new cold going around and killed my appetite so I know I'll be under calories for today. I just ate lunch at 3:30...
251/220 cardio
90/90 strength
6/6 food
4/4 punishment. Man those hurt, but I really did get better at them!
Best of all I lost 2 lbs!!!
I think my cardio should be higher. But I couldn't figure out how to log "Roving volunteer art teacher". Man those kids kicked my butt yesterday more than the Spartan bows!
I don't know who to vote for. You all impress me. Maybe I'll wait until everyone else enters their week...0 -
truth be told I haven't done anything today, I know I know shame on me. but I am going to. in a bit. I just being having a lazy Sat. so I'm going to kill my work outs then post my stuff and pick a person. this is going to be super hard, to many great people to choice.0
-
I'm done for the day. Time to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book.
Cardio: 349/220
Strength: 135/90
6/6 food
5/4 spartan fall-overs
MVP: my vote goes to Hajenkatt. She was going on vacation, and still turned in 300+ cardio a day early. Plus she is still planning on getting in her exercise while on vacation. So I dont think she should have to come back to the punishment too

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.
DOMs = Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness also known as ALL THE PAIN you feel after you lift, squat, lunge or do pushups...
(not TOM... it wasnt a typo. i dont have issues with that being missing unfortunately :laugh: )
my leg is doing better... still a small fear of the box. i havent jumped since tuesday. but ill get over that soon enough.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.
dont be resistant... its NOT a guy thing, i promise! it will give you muscle definition and strength you never realized! its soo soo worth it. and especially if you have been at the same weight, its time to step it up and do something different. If you ever need direction or advice let me know. Ive complete NR4W, NRAbs, and i have been through various parts of NR supercharged and Stronglifts 5x5. ( i get into DABBLE moods)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.
good luck at your race!!0 -
im glad we went back to 220... its so weird, when i joined the challenge i thought, "balls, 220cardio is gonna be a hard number to hit!" but then we did 320.... and this week felt like i was RESTING. hahah ... but... dont take that as a challenge to increase it to 5-600. :P jsut saying it was a good week to slow down a bit.

Wed: yoga (60c) + Swim (30c)
Thurs: lift (60st) + Tabattas (45c)

Ok, looks like just myself and funky to turn in. I want to do one more work out to try and push hard! Just to let you know TJ was short this week with strength and punishment. As a team we got her covered though.0

Excited to see what this week holds for us!0 -
Got a 90 min hike in this afternoon. We made it to 7,000 ft. I was sucking wind for sure. I am going to keep up with the SpartanBows for some of my strength training until we know what our next set of punishments/goals are. My legs are so tired!!0
-
Congrats to everyone on epic numbers for this past week. And to Bebubble for MVP. :flowerforyou: I really feel a bit like the weakest link on this team. You all inspire me to do more and get off my behind. :bigsmile:
I am excited that Carol will be in tonight's episode. I hope that she tallies up some bonus numbers for us. It would be nice to be the one's deciding the punishment for a change!
Well, I am off to do some strength training. Hubby got me some new weights and I need to break them in (that and earn enough calories for a decent dinner since we did a pancake breakfast that equaled all my calories for the day since I had a western omelette, pancakes, sausage, chocolate milk, coffee and syrup. :devil: LOL!0 -
I'm so excited for tonight's episode! We turned in the best numbers we could. Congrats everyone!
Kim, you are most definitely not the weakest link! You are pushing hard and challenging yourself and happen to be in a team of super women. LOL!
I can't wait to see what Carol does tonight! I hope we will not be disappointed. We have earned our dues, that's for sure.0 -
Sara - Thanks for updating my numbers. I try to check in everyday, keeps me on track
