    Posting from my phone at work so I'll be brief! The week's punishment is a quick circuit training routine:

    1 min jumping jacks; 10 sit ups/roll ups/crunches; 1 min jump rope; 1 min side plank (30 sec each side); 5 burpees.
    Here's the punishment from Team Rick's captain. The good news is he decided that you only have to do it once this week and, as always, you can include it with your cardio or strength numbers.

    Sounds pretty doable!

    Did my punishment exercises this morning! Not too bad. Quite a sight to see me attempt to jump rope! HaHa!

    Hope everyone is doing good this week!

    Team Daryl has decided on this week's punishment exercise, the Spartan Bow. 
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyvF2B3CIo
    If this is too difficult for your current level, you can do basic lunges instead. Please complete this exercise 30 times per leg, 4 times this week.

    Hello new walker team mates! We are a lively bunch so we'll be looking forward to talking with you all. I haven't seen last night's episode yet so I'll be back to talk about it after I watch it tonight.

    My name is Jo and I have been using the zombie run app to do my running and love it. Took yesterday off and am back full speed today!

    Leader board has been updated here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1195194-weekly-leaderboard-and-most-valuable-players
    Glenn and Maggie will be choosing the punishment this week. What's nice is there has been a different winner every week so far. Congrats to all the MVPs and have a great week everyone. Hoping to see some reunions in the next few episodes.

    Yes, I do. And yes, she does!!!!

    She talks everywhere else on the internet you would think she would be great at it here. And I expect everyone to talk to each other, otherwise how will you know if your teammates need help.

    Last week I was in a funk and didn't complete my requirements, but my team knew and they were able to cover me so we didnt lose points - TEAMWORK!!!!

    Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I will also be watching last night's episode tonight, but at least now I know what to expect.... Lol

    I'm Amy, in case you hadn't figured that much out, and I've been on MFP for almost 2 years. My cardio of choice is running (started last spring). I'm working on weight loss, inches lost, and my running endurance! :)
    Let's kick some booooooty!!!!!!

    Can I do reverse planks ??? My foot still gives me problems from the break and I am very worried that I will re-break it ? I will go ask them and see what they say.....can't hurt.

    They went easy on us. God bless them. LOl

    So I finally watched Sunday's episode last night. Wow. I did not expect the girls to die THAT way... I thought maybe they got bitten. My goodness. What a horrible decision for Carol to have to make. RIP Mika and Lizzie.

    I am going to be the giant weenie of the group but I have to admit something. I started watching TWD because of this challenge and I almost made it to the end of season 3 but had to stop because I was getting nightmares. I have very realistic dreams and the nightmares were freaking me out. I even started wondering if I should stockpile ammo. lol So now my friend April is keeping me updated about what is going on. Confession over. hehehe

    I completely forgot to send in my stuff from last week, probably because I stopped watching the show. I will set a reminder to send it in. Although I am fighting a nasty cold so I am not sure how much I will be able to do this week. Sorry guys. :(

    I watched Sunday's episode last night too. Wow - what an episode. Not what I expected either. Poor little Mika. Though I was kind of hoping they would let her come back and then deal with to try to show Lizzie that she wasn't the same.

    Ok, off to a good start this week (for a Monday) 30 min. zombie run and 15 min. strength yesterday. To be continued today. I am so happy the punishment is planks and not squats or lunges!!

    It is a very realistic show - i can see where you would have nightmares. I have had a few dreams involving the show myself...no they are not all about Daryl. :bigsmile:

    Reverse planks are fine, we dont want anyone hurting themselves.

    How's everyone doing with their totals? I love planks - does that make me weird? I've been a little tired this week so moving a litter slower than normal but I feel it kicking in today and going to bump it up toward the end of the week here!

    Yes, that makes you weird...Course I have no upper body strength so I really hate them.

    Having a rough week. Ugh. My mojo is non existent. I'm lethargic and craving junk and don't feel like doing aaaanything. Seriously need some sunshine and warmth to snap out of this. Ugh. I'll get it done, but it's not coming easily this week!!!!!! Lol

    I hear you Amy - I've been having a hard time getting it moving this week too. We are finally getting sunshine here so I got a good long run yesterday and plan on a another one today. Going camping this weekend and the weather should be good so looking forward to running/hiking in the woods!

    I am not sure I am going to make goals this week. This cold has kicked my butt. I will have my strength hours in but the cardio will be lacking. Planks are done. :)

    I have been able to get my cardio in quite well this week. I started Season Two of my Zombie Run and am hooked! So in figuring my totals I will have 345 of cardio by Saturday and that's if I do the minimum of what my plans are. I will donate my extra to you to help you out this week -- that will be 135 min. of cardio to donate. Because I've been focusing on my cardio so much - I've only done my strength in small sets - except for my two New Rules Lifting nights. So my totals on strength will be 115 by Saturday - unless I get more in than what I have planned. I have my planks x3 - but I've actually done more than the 60 sec. I love planks - I really should incorporate them more into my routine. I always try to focus on something that doesn't come as easy - like pushups!

    Oh and as far as my weight loss/inches loss - I don't want to step on the scale or remeasure until closer to the end of the challenge so I can see the loss. If for some reason I'm being too optimistic and I didn't lose as much as I think I have I will lose all motiviation and I want to keep on going. BUT I really do think I've got some losses to record. I can feel my pants and skirts are looser, especially in the waist which is where I had gained a lot of the extra weight. And I looking in the mirror this morning which shows my backside, because I have two mirros set up so I can see to do the back of my hair, I can see that I have lost the extra roll that was around my backside (where my bra sits) and those sqats are totally paying off - my booty looks much more toned! So I was pretty excited by that - especially since we are going into warmer weather and I was not looking forward to trying on my summer clothes.

    Had a very rough week and slacked off big time. My energy has been non existent, and I've been craving awful foods. Ugh. Time to hit the pavement hard starting Monday again. Every once in a while I get into these funks, so the only thing keeping me going was this challenge. Knowing you have others depending on you definitely keeps you in check, even when you're just not feeling it. I did the bare minimum this week just to hit my totals, so I admit that I did not push myself like I should have. I think we have 2 more weeks of this challenge, so I need to push myself this week and next week!!!!
    TOTALS:
    --Strength - 100 mins, 60 mins of it was Kenpo to get the combat portion of it done. The other part was Yoga. Didn't do anything with weights in the gym this week, but I got the strength piece in via other exercises.
    --Cardio - 210 mins, which included a lot of walking around today that I'm not going to log in my diary. I Think I ran once this week and did a couple of quick dvd workouts. Didn't log like I usually do this week just because of my half-assed efforts. Lol
    --I was definitely within my calories this week, as well.
    --Oh! planks are done too!

    Really hope I'm feeling more myself come Monday. I don't know if it's just the cold weather and snow or what, but at this point I am desperate to get some warm spring weather. Come on, Mother Nature! :)

    Great work this week ladies (those who have checked in). :)
