    MORNING TEAM BETH!!!! How is everyone doing with their bow and arrows and burpees? Are they helping you get more strength training in?

    TEN burpees ....I am surprised I could do one, but giving it thought, the only other time I tried them was in the kickbox class, about 3/4 of the way through...at that point I was having trouble standing! Yay, I did it...10! I can do this!:smokin:

    Hi team Beth,

    I've been struggling with getting back into weight loss mode for months now. In the past, challenges have always been very motivating. But I guess I am still just not ready, for whatever reason. I don't want to drag the team down with me, so I am out now. Best of luck to everyone on your goals.

    So sorry to see you go Shirley! Good luck to you on your fitness journey (it's not always nor totally about weight loss). Blessings to you!

    Thanks for letting us know, Shirley. And good for you for being true to yourself about where you're at. I'm sure once you hit the fitness portion of your journey, you're going to rock it!

    I got half of my burpees done yesterday, and 25 Bow & Arrows. I will get my burpees done today and plan on splitting up my B&A, throughout the rest of the week! Sorry to see you go Shirley! At least stay in touch...when it's time, it will be time, and I hope we are all here for you and one another then... I am really enjoying this challenge and in general using MFP...so glad I ran into it!! Hope you all have a fantastic day today!! KILL ZOMBIES! And by that I mean, anything that is dead and has no life...does not belong in our lives! I am planning on slaying the zombie in my head who whispers negative things to me today...

    I just completed 25 more B&A...I am not quite sure if I am doing them correctly. Am I supposed to get a horrendous burn in my lower neck/top of shoulders area? Granted..it is not a "pain" but is definitely a using the muscle burn.

    Great idea, kmoiregreen! I definitely want to kill zombies today! I'm going to kill those zombies that make me feel bad when I don't do everything perfectly. Perfect is boring!

    I've done 75 bow and arrows and 0 burpees. I just keep putting them off. Perfectionist zombie strikes again! I am a little nervous about making my goals this week because my birthday is Friday, and I know I'll be eating lots of desserts and unhealthy meals. I've done 30 minutes of strength training and 85 minutes of cardio so far. I'm going to do 30 minutes of strength training and 45 min of cardio tonight and the rest Saturday morning. I've also been trying to save calories throughout the week, so I can do some extra splurging Friday and Saturday. Even in a zombie apocalypse, you gotta celebrate your birthday! :drinker:

    Anyone else have birthdays or special occasions coming up during the challenge?

    I'm no expert, but I say any burn is a good burn. I'm feeling mine in my straight arm mostly, which I thought was kind of strange.

    Hello fellow February birthday! Mine is on Saturday :happy: (I plan on going to town with some burritos and salsa that night)

    Happy early birthday!

    Yes, B&A's should definitely cause a burn in your shoulders if your doing it right. They are great for arm and shoulder workouts.

    Remember if you think your going to be short on exercises, let your teammates know so they can help you out. No need to lose points if someone else thinks they can help you. It the zombie apocalypse you have to stick together!!!

    Just a quick reminder that all challenge totals for the week have to be in by Midnight tomorrow!!! Make sure you have all burpees and bow and arrows done in order to get your strength point.

    I got ALL of my bow & arrows and ALL of my burpees done!! Just 9 more mins of ST and this week is a wrap! Super proud of myself for getting it all in!

    Mmm, fries and beer! I'm still debating with myself on whether I'm having a Corona tomorrow or not.

    Great job, Gambrell104!

    If anyone still needs burpees, let me know and I'll knock some more out for you tomorrow. :)

    Do it, marieamethyst! And great job, Gambrell! I've still got a lot to do tomorrow, but it's doable. I think.

    How is everyone on Team Beth doing? I should have all my extra stuff done by today, looking forward to tomorrow evening too! Let's hope Beth and Daryl show up and kick some zombie's booty! My personal zombie I intend to slay today is LAZINESS. When I "think" about getting off the couch and doing some exercises, I intend to do it, and not put it off! I am also planning on doing some ab work. Since I started here on MFP, my legs and arms have been sore every day, but I am sorely lacking in the ab/core area. Have a good one y'all!!

    I love the idea of personal "zombies" I have a LOT of those. I need to get the rest of my ST mins and get my house straight. I had to stay in a hotel this week and my mom had my boys because of the snow storm. Eating was hard this week, exercise not so much since the hotel had a gym.

    Dang, Gambrell! Way to keep fighting zombies in the middle of a snow storm! I'm in California where we can't even get it to rain.

    Another week down, good job team! Now to see if we make it to week three tomorrow night!

    This winter has just been brutal. I'm so glad we moved from Ohio when we did!

    Yes. They only have two members, so they're probably lonely and anxious for fresh brains. :wink:

    I am soooooooo happy Judith is still alive! I think seeing that empty, bloody car seat bothered me way more than it should have. Definitely a good episode!
  • TiffytVS
    TiffytVS Posts: 71 Member
    Yes!! So happy Judith is alive although having Lizzie around her is making me nervous. And I wonder what Tyrese is going to do when he finds out the truth about Carol.

    And not only did Beth survive she killed a walker! Our girl is getting stronger, just like us. Watching her run through the woods, I was like, "Go Beth! Get that cardio in!"

    I was so close to changing the channel when Lizzie was doing whatever the heck she was doing. :noway:

    She did, I cheered! It'll be interesting to see what our challenge is for this week!

    Here is this week's punishment exercises. Team Michonne would like us to do this 4 minute "Bring Sally Up" Squat Challenge, 5 times this week.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CswK7e_Bep8
    If you can't access the video, it is 4 minutes of regular squats, but holding in the squat position for a full 3 seconds before rising and squatting again.
