How come my Knotty banner doesn't show up? Hmmmmm?
Sorry, Hun! This is my fault. Where you currently have IMG's, change it to img (lowercase) and where you have /IMG's change it to /img (lowercase).0 -
Has everyone read the thread about what's going on on Sunday? I'd like to discuss what you girls think we can do and what we should bet, etc. Here's the thread, if you haven't read it. I don't know who we'll be paired up with yet, but I'd like to have some idea of what we want to do.

Okay Knotty Girls, I just ordered my HRM - through our local YMCA here, Polar FT7 for $90! I know it's a little cheaper on amazon, but this way I don't have to wait and can get it tomorrow!!! Wahoo, just in time for double calorie day! I'm hoping I burn more than the estimation shows..
Ooooh! I'm jealous!!! :-) Very cool, Love!0 -

i read it and im excited!!0 -
Ugh I hope I can get home in time on Sunday to get some decent exercise in! I'm going away for the weekend to work and will be in the car driving for 6 hours on Sunday :noway:0

The Sunday challenge sounds great. We are betting how many calories we will burn and it will also need to bemore than the boat we are paired with. Hmmmm a little tricky!0

Sorry, Hun! This is my fault. Where you currently have IMG's, change it to img (lowercase) and where you have /IMG's change it to /img (lowercase).
I still don't have it correct do I? Wow I am usually pretty computer savvy. Not this time. Sorry I am being a pain.0 -
Nicole, you are going to love your HRM. A fellow rowing teammate recommended hers and I have been so happy with it. It is great knowing exactly what you are burning.0

Almost there! :-) put [ ] around the img and /img. So, it should look like this, but the IMG and /IMG should be lowercase.

Just tell us what you need from us to make that bet. I know I have nothing going this weekend so I can pick what exercise I'll be doing ahead of time if you need that info. We can do this!!
Today's calories 374. Too bad there are no calories burned for whining. My mantra all during the workout was pretty much "I'm tired, I'm hot, this sucks!" Can't wait until fall - best time for walking out doors in my neck of the woods! Hope everyone had a great day today and a great doubler day tomorrow! Go Knotty Girls!

Welllllll.... I was going to take a rest day today cus I'm sooooooo sore from the past two days of Jillian... BUT my sweetie and I decided to go for a quick walk to stretch out some muscles... and it ended up being 2.36 miles... nice quick one, right?
But now I'm tired and sore... good thing I was offered a back massage tonight :0 Guess I have my own personal cabin boy.... anyone need me to share?

Okay Chickies. Today was a lower calorie-burning day. I hope everyone's gearing up for tomorrow's double miles day!
Total calories burned today is 5803 for a total of 116.06 miles.
We'll talk some tomorrow about how we want to strategize for Sunday. I guess it kind of depends on who we get paired up with, right??? Good night, Ladies!0 -
BTW - you got it Kathi! Yay! :-)0
-
236 for me today0

I'm pretty stoked about Friday and Sunday! I am curious to see how it all unfolds though. As for my total today I ended up getting in 632 calories burned for Thursday. That's an extra 166 from my earlier post Jen, maybe we can add those extras on to Friday?
Anyway tomorrow is double day so let's kick some calorie booty!!0 -
Coby & Kinda - I'd already gone to bed after I got your totals, so anything in excess of what I had before bed last night will get added to today's total. Nice job Ladies!
I hope everyone's ready to kick some *kitten* today!!! Double miles! Let's knock this one out of the park! I'd really like to see us get AT LEAST 8000 cals burned today. With the carry over from yesterday and the first workout I did this morning, we're already at 1338. Come on KNOTTY GIRLS!!!! We CAN do this!!0 -

Okay, I'm ready to kick butt!! So 8000 is 534 per person. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!0 -
534 per person....I'm game!!
Let's do it Ladies!!0 -
I'm sooo not going to do ANYTHING tomorrow. Got up 5 AM this morning (after 4 hours of sleep or so), did one hour of hiphopabs and 30DS, went to work, did some Zumba in my lunch break (with a short shower afterwards). went home and did two more hours of Zumba, which means 5 hours of work out today. Can someone please shoot me? LOL
Without a hot bubble bath afterwards, I couldn't move at all. =^_^= I was offered a massage by my cabin boy (yes, I have a personal one too), plus a nice breakfast, but I#d have to take a 16 hour flight to get that, so not going to happen. ROFL
Going to bed now, but all in all it was a very productive day. 2354 cals burned.0 -
684 for me today. Tomorrow I have to do a day of rest. My knees are killing me.

662 today!!0

Sorry for being late, but it's been a busy day and got home late... but my sweetie and I just finished Jillian!! Wahoo, 373 calories! But I totally forgot about my new HRM until I was already halfway in... geesh!!! Hopefully I'll remember tomorrow!!!0
-
I, too, am pretty wiped out, though Sandy's got me beat by nearly 1000 cals today.
We did a pretty good job today. Had some incredible burns! Ready for this...?
Total Calories burned - 12959!!! With the double miles today, that comes out to 518.36 miles!!! FANTASTICO!!!! Everyone did phenomenally today. I'm so proud of all of us! We are some Knotty Knotty Girls!!!!
So, what is everyone's thoughts on how we work this betting thing on Sunday? Here's how I understand the game: We get paired up with another boat. And each boat bets x number of calories that THEIR boat will burn more than the other one. So, let's say we get teamed up with Hull Yeah. We bet 4000 calories that we will burn more than they will. And they bet 3000 calories that they'll beat us. If we burn more than them, we get the 4000 EXTRA cals and they have to DEDUCT 3000 from their total. And vice versa - if they win, we have to deduct 4000 from our total and they get to add 3000 to theirs. So, here's the thing. Say we bet 7000 and then only burn 6000 and we lose to our opponent - we end up going BACKWARDS by 1000 calories.
We definitely want to make sure that we don't over estimate. Right now, our average is about 8000 cals per day. But our lowest day was 5600, which also happened to be Day 1. So, here's the question...How much do we want to bet? Anyone have any thoughts on strategy here?0 -
Well I know that I won't be able to put in a lot of cals on Sunday due to Sunday being my everything is due for school for the week and I have a huge test. I don't think we want to shoot to high but a nice decent number would be nice 6 or 7000 sounds good to me if our average is 8000.
Either way I know we will do awesome!!0 -
Thank you for detailing out Sunday's rules. Should we see how many of us can commit to working out? Maybe we go with 7000 to be on the safe side. I don't think we should play it too safe. We need to kick it up and do some serious burns. I'm taking today off and hitting the gym tomorrow hard.
Great job everyone on their calories burned yesterday!! We rock!!!!!0 -
I agree. I think we should bet no more than we have the potential to earn on a normal day so the worse outcome would be zero not backwards. I think 7000 might be as high as it is smart to go. I know even today I am breaking things up a little and doing several little workouts so I have energy to do something higher cal burning tomorrow.
Sue0 -
I agree with 7000 cals. I can gaurantee 600 from me. Maybe more. hopefully more 0
-
today is my rest day, so I can guarantee a good burn tomorrow. Plan to make it an all-workout-day anyway.
I think we are save with 6-7000 cals.0 -
Jne, 479 burned today. Took it easy so I can go at it tomorrow! Good Luck to all the Knotty GIrls!
