I'm great for cardio, and pretty close on strength. I just need to get my character challenge squeezed in. Probably tonight after the kids go to bed so I can work of the day's chocolate! I'll post my numbers in the morning so that there will be plenty of time for people to coordinate sharing. I haven't done the punishment yet, but I think I will. Looks like some pretty good moves.0
-
Oh as for protein, great timing! I was just last week looking into the best numbers for me. I was surprised to find how low I was looking back through past diary entries. But I've been good at paying more attention to it this week. More lean meats in my meals, and I've added new snacks to my rotation like beef jerky and think sliced ham. My sodium has gone red for it though, lol.0

I like both of those, great finds, Bmercy21 !
We will need them both for the future, because we will be victorious each week. ;-) However, when we eventually assign the second one (the kettleball workout) we may have to specify reps/sets or whatever they're called because it doesn't really say how long or how many times to do each exercise.
Happy Halloween everyone! The scariest part of this day for me is the giant bowl of candy in my kitchen, waiting for the trick or treaters. It watches me when I walk by and I think it has actually called my name once or twice. Must. Resist. .....0 -
So how is everyone doing? Ready to turn in some great numbers tomorrow?0

Happy Halloween! Watch out for the walkers
By the way I am back on track with my work out minutes...I was starting to worry not doing as well this week but catching up.0 -
I will have alot of extra cardio and maybe like 5-10minutes extra strength training if anyone is in need! Just let me know!0
-
I am way over on cardio this week thanks to my daughter's birthday; she wanted to go to SkyZone, which is one of those indoor trampoline places. I slept good that night!
Still not there on strength but once I do tonight's workout I'll be over goal. And hopefully I'll do more tomorrow so I'll have some to spare and share.0 -
How's everyone doing this week?0
-
I had to do the pushups on my knees (hope thats okay) for the Daryl pumpkin video, but it just got me to my strength numbers. Barely. The night's not over, but I wanted to post what I had just to have it in.0

Just about to post my weekly efforts to the scoreboard. I think we were supposed to post our strength training regimens on here, so here is mine...I do mostly floor exercises (crunches, etc). This week, I started the shrinking jeans thigh challenge: http://shrinkingjeans.net/2013/03/oh-my-thighs-april-monthly-fitness-calendar/, so I've been doing that everynight (week 1 is takinga bout 3 min/day). On top of that, I did the Sally Squats once more, and then I am counting my yoga as strength, as well as part of my body combat classes, because there are certain tracks that are basically all squats and lunges, as well as a toning session at the end.
Cardio: 203
Strength: 93
I'm willing to donate any extras. I also finished my Carl challenge this morning. Was hoping the 4 year old would be into joining me, but she just laughed at my dancing instead! And I laughed at my husband's. Hehe.
CindyB97--SkyZone is AWESOME, and a great workout, to be sure!
ETA--I like BMercy21's punishments for when we win, but would choose the first one because not everyone has kettleballs, or access to them (including me).0 -
For my fellow Daryls.... I have a Daryl challenge question... what did you do if you didn't have a pumpkin or a medicine ball?0
-
I'm not sure everyone has kettle balls... i know I don't. .. the 30 min one spuns awesome however!0

Well team Emwalker is officially a zombie, so her no show wont hurt your scores. BUT - you had 3 late check ins and 4 no shows.
Always check in - even if its late. You might lose points but you wont be a zombie. We just assume you were stuck in a room surrounded by zombies and it took you a couple days to get free.
Shout out to the following for doing the punishment just because they wanted to:
AnutChelle Carl
DucMouse Beth
naanaamoreno Maggie
maphammonds Beth
Bmercy21 Daryl
Everyone say goodbye and good luck to kristyMayhen, she had decided to join the Advanced team (MY TEAM) Woohoo!!! A beginner at challenges, she has quickly learned that these challenges show you that you arent as bad at exercise as you might have thought and motivation goes along way to achieving great personal strides.
WD tonight - probably all about Beth, but we might get some Darrel and Carol action!!!!

Hey everyone! As our fearless leader said, I decided to join the Advance team. My numbers proved to myself that I can do it and I want more of that challenge and push! Best of luck to all (I'll be rooting for you to come in second
he-he) 0 -
Good luck KristyMayhem!
I'm going to try to get a jump start on my strength training tonight. I am constantly trying to cram it in last minute and I want to avoid that.
At least half of my strength every week comes from sitting on a giant balance ball doing free weight arm exercises, easily done while watching TWD

Hey, beginners. How about some team-wide November activity to boost our strength training numbers? I'm starting this today, doing days 1-3 to make up for lost time, then staying on the calendar from there. I'm scared about later on, but gonna do my best!:
