    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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!!

    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.

    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?

    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!!

    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!!!!!

    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.

    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.
