Only thing i have an opinion on is wednesday would be a great rest day, Im in a car for 5 hr and then family time with my honey's family so i wont get a wok out in that day.

Oh oh oh!!! Another thing!!! This week, Lee is giving us a bunch of freedom in our game days....Three triple days - OUR CHOICE - and 1 water/rest day - AGAIN OUR CHOICE! Soooo.....Can we please vote on which days you all would like to see triple days & rest/water day?

My votes:

Monday - Triple Day
Wednesday - Triple Day
Friday - Triple Day
Saturday - Rest Day

What if we took Monday off after having a double weekend? Just asking I'm good either way we do it although I think Wednesday I will be swimming all flippin day so I know I will have some killer calorie burns that day. Would hate to give them up for water.

KnottyJen

Okay....I'm going to make a decision based on the votes that we have right now. It's getting late and I'm a sleepy girl. :-)

The votes came out as follows

TRIPLE REST
M 3 1
T
W 3 1
TH
F 2
S 1 2
SU

So, based on this, I'm going to go with MWF as triples and Saturday as rest....(Sorry Nikki!)

I will send a PM to everyone to make sure they know what's up.

Is everyone okay with attacking the German-named boat tonight??

Good morning Chickadees!

We had a pretty good burn yesterday - 7074 calories before our kidnapped (and tripled) crew member. After adding Ultimate Destruction's crew member - we had 12,192 calories burned, for a total of 243.84 miles. Not too shabby!! And once again, no attacks on our pretty little boat. Good thing, too! Kinda had a fantastic burn of 1654 cals! Don't want to hand that one over!!!

Today is Triple miles day! What's everyone doing to bump up our numbers today???? I did Jillian 30DS & some crunches this morning. I'm planning on doing my nightly pool visit. And maybe (depending on how late I get home from work) holla at my old friend the treadmill, too. I'm shooting for 2000 calories again today! Woot woot!

Msybe we have a ghost ship! I can't believe with some of you high burners it hasn't happened yrt, but great for us.

552 for me, Jen.

Gotcha Sue!

We had a pretty good day. 9285 calories burned. After tripling, that gives us 557.1 miles. That's a pretty big jump. Hopefully, it'll bring us up further to the front of the pack! :-) Keep it going, girls. I know we've been at this for a while, and motivation might be starting to wear thin. We can totally do this!!!!

On a side note....I haven't heard from Coby in a few days. Do any of you know her personally or anything? I'm just starting to wonder if she's okay. I know she was going on vacay, but while she was gone, she was still posting calorie burns. And then I thought she got back from vacay last week.....? I've sent her a couple messages, but they've gone unread. Just hoping everything's okay with her.

Hello My pretty Peanuts!
We had a pretty good day yesterday. Burned 8702 calories ~ 174.04 miles.

We're approaching the south of Australia right now and we have about 19766.54 miles left to go (as of last night). We're only about a third of the way around! I was sure that we had gone further than that!!! We're holding strong in 10th place.

Please remember - today is triples. Tomorrow is REST/WATER day!!! Drink up tomorrow, Girls. 9 glasses each, please!

Steel6981

478 today.

Sue

KnottyJen

Hey Knotty Girls!!!! Sorry I've been a little absent! Yesterday was NUTSO!!!!

Yesterday was Water Day and I heard from all but two of you, so we got 1170 miles. NICE JOB!

Lee posted the new games for this week. Please have a look at this thread:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/310758-row-the-world-games

Short version - Lee is trying to speed up the game. So EVERY day will be a double day, PLUS we get to choose two days to be DOUBLE DOUBLE (4x) miles. We will also need to choose on a Rest/water day for the team.

My whole week is pretty free & clear. I have Zumba & pool scheduled for Tuesday night, so for me, that would be a great day to do a Quadruple day. I'm open to suggestions for both rest and Quad days. Let's please have a vote (I'd like to hear from as many of you as possible.......) to decide.

Thanks Loves!!!!

Edited to Add:
I know that this challenge has been going on for a while and some people are losing steam. I totally understand and if you feel the need to "jump ship," no one will be mad at you. I want to keep you all, but I totally get that you may be getting burned out. If you are, please let me know. I just want to make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves and that no one feels like they *have* to do this.

Jen,

Any days are fine with me. For myself i've just needed to add some structure for me to be successful. I have backed down on trying to do really high days as it usually meant I couldn't do as much as i wanted other days. So i am trying to have more consistent 400 - 500 days. That just slows the boat down though. I want to continue as long as more mid range days, even on double and triple days doesn't hold you guys back.

Sue

KnottyJen

Thanks for getting back so quickly Sue!

Here's how I look at it....

If you are consistent with say 450 every day - that's 6 days (accounting for a rest day) = 2700 calories burned. Plus, let's say we have two triple days, so that's an additional 1800 cals (450*4), for a total of 4500 calories for the week.

So, now, let's say you push extra hard on those triple days, but need at least one day to recover from it. So, you end up doing 2 days of 450, 2 days of 0 and 2 days of...let's say 600 (*3 for triples = 1800). So for the week, you end up burning the same 4500 calories.

Personally, as your slave driving captain :laugh:, I like to see something every day. I'd much rather see you do 400 or 450 a day and be consistent and not hurt yourself, rather than see you with a big burn one day and then need a day (or two!) to recover from it.

Tuesdays are not great for me, I want to set those aside for the only time with my honey. Great days for me are usually Fridays.

Kinda79

I up for anything other than Saturday and Sunday. I've started school again so Sunday's usually mean me sitting on my tush all day doing homework and quizzes. Saturday I will be traveling to my mother in laws to help pack up a house, but I guess that will count towards some workout as moving boxes isn't light work. So I guess Saturday would be fine with me but maybe not the Quad day. Tuesday should work just fine for me as Quad day, I've got nothing doing on besides kicking some calorie booty!

So maybe Sunday we could do the rest/water day after working out hard all week. Most people like to rest on Sunday's but not all so it's just a suggestion.

Anyday is good for me, if I had to pick then I would shoot for the weekdays. I try to get the majority of my workouts in during the week, because I never know what will be going on during the weekends.

Good job keeping Sue on the boat. I agree with everything you said, and love the way you put it. We just need to do what we can do each day. We should try to push ourselves harder each week. The point of this challenge is to workout, not injure ourselves. But being consistent and learning what we can do (by pushing ourselves a little harder) is key to weightloss and being healthy!!

GO KNOTTY GIRLS!!!

any day fine with me. from Mo til Thur I teach my classes, fri and sat are Insanity days. so I am happy with anything.
waterday I don't care as well, since I usually always drink 12-15 glasses. LOL

Thanks Jen. Since I don't need to walk the plank for being a little slower, put me down for 442 today.

(: but let me stop getting ahead of myself here. next week, whatever works for yall, works for me. gooo knotty girls!!
