Team Feelin' Nauti (closed group)

EmpressOfJudgment

Sorry I didn't post yesterday. Did you get my numbers from my profile? That was accurate. I wanted to do more, but yeah..the holiday and whatnot.

Everyone is doing great! I agree we should just keep on doing our best. We do have a great group here.

My total for Day 4 July 4 was 830 calories

Just looked at the map again....I swear some of these groups must be running marathons during the week or something!!! lol

I'm not gonna lie, I sneaked a peek at some of the other threads yesterday. The main difference that I saw was that most of the lead teams had a handful of big guys that were burning an average of 1,500+ daily. Most of our numbers are in-line with most of the women on other ships, including the lead ship. Hell, one of the guys on the lead ship burned over 6,000 calories yesterday - and that's before doubling! My jaw just about hit my desk. The only way you're ever gonna get me to burn 6,000 calories in a day is to strap me to a treadmill at incline ten, and put a snapping alligator at the back of it. Although I might do that to Rez on the next double day. I agree with DYR that we're doing our best and that's all that matters. Whether we finish first or last, as long as we give it our best every day - we're winners in my book! And I fully realize how cheesy I sound here, but it's absolutely true. I could not have picked to be on a better crew with a better bunch of ladies (and man)!

6,000 calories?! OMG. I totally agree with both of you ladies. We're doing our best. We are all reasonably fit and aren't burning insane amounts of calories every day. However, we're doing our best and we're pushing ourselves. My main goal for us is for our entire crew to find mental and physical improvements over what we started with. I'm not kidding when I say you guys motivate me. This challenge has really opened my eyes to how much support and teamwork can really drive me to work harder. I knew that in the military, but that's been over a decade now.

I also identify with Rach and that competitive nature! I want to blow those other ships out of the water!!! LOL However, I absolutely love our Feelin' Nauti crew and wouldn't trade you lot for the highest calorie burners that ever sailed the seven seas! /dork.

marcia and dee dee: I did get your totals, sweets. :flowerforyou:

This morning, I did boot camp for an hour, zumba for an hour, and played in the pool with the guys for nearly 2 hours. I only count the pool time as 45 minutes since I sometimes stop moving to kiss a boo boo, throw a toy, or help with gooogles, etc. All that put me at 1138 calories burned! If I do anything else this evening, I'll be sure to update. :drinker:

DanceYogaRun

Niveous, which team was that? maybe I should withdraw my attack on badunkadunk for that one. I just know one of their members burned 1900+ calories today, so I chose that one. What do you think?

ActiveFaith10

Hey guyys!!

Going to the gym after this post, cant wait to update.

Yeah having others teams with big guys doesnt give an accurate picture ofeach person is working hard, since guys tend to burn calories a lot easier than girls so I think we should just consentrate on our team esp. yourself!

Whoevers QOTD it is today remember it can be about anything, its just good to keep everyone active every

As for my calories burned Im going to each week try to burn more calories from the previous week. Im determine to improve and get these lbs off!

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What message do you need to hear, right now,to help you along your journey? We all have different levels of support at home, we share our support for each other online, but, ultimately, the great motivator on your journey is you. So take a moment, even a moving meditation as you workout, to acknowledge all the hard work and effort that you've put forth to get yourself this far, all the effort and awakening that got you started along this path. Look at where you are now and appreciate those efforts and yourself as you are in this moment. Take your time and revel in these accomplishments. When you are ready, look ahead toward the future, and envision yourself with your goals met. You will get there! What is it that your future self would tell you that will help you along your path? This is exactly what you need to hear and, whatever it is, will be exactly right and perfect for you.

I actually meditated on this last night before going to sleep. The answer was a little surprising, to me, and very simple. Enjoy the journey. Sometimes I get so caught up in the numbers game that I forget how much fun I'm having. So.. stop. breathe. revel in the moment. Look to the future, but enjoy the journey.

Finally, I'm totally stealing a quote I saw on Marcia's page today.

"When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way." -Wayne Dyer.

Let's give this question until the end of the day, since so many have not answered yet. Tomorrow, it will be RachVR6's turn to ask her question.

We're currently in 9th place out of 22 ships! Not too shabby!

That is encouraging!! I am so loving this challenge!! We are only on day 5 and I have definitely felt more of a purpose to my workouts.It has been so much more motivating to me than just trying to reach my own goals. I really do push myself a little bit further when I think of how hard everyone else is working too!!

Dang! That's not too shabby at all. I can't wait until the Friday double day again. I'm probably gonna take a light workout day on Thursday just to make sure I'm properly rested for it too.

Well now that I'm finally seeing my hard work paying off, I no longer feel impatient and frustrated, like I used to.

I guess I would tell myself to stop trying to please everyone else. Because I've been unhappy with my own body for so long, I automatically think others have been unhappy with it too. I've asked my bf on numerous occasions, if he's happy with my changes. He always says, 'Yes dear, and I was happy with you before, but I'm glad to see that you're working hard and YOU are happy.' I think he's more attractive to the commitment I have to this lifestyle change, than the actual physical changes. He says it really shows my strength as a person. I love hearing that he's noticing the changes in who I am and not just the changes in my physical appearance.

I have to say that it does bother me a bit when certain people don't comment on my weight loss...especially when they're the ones that have pointed out my weight issues in the past. I know they only pointed out my faults to make them feel better about their own, so of course they aren't going to point out my successes. So I think I'd tell myself to get back to just focusing on me, and my journey, and be thankful for all the people that DO notice and DO support me, and encourage me to go farther and reach my goals......like all of the lovely ladies and gents here.

Alright Kenpo, and a really HUMID 1mi run on the trails done. I thought about going to the fitness center for more workout but its already 8pm and I still have to make and eat dinner, shower, and all that stuff, so I'll save it for tomorrow. I have strength anyway and will need a good long run to help get my calorie burn up.

Calories for today are logged.

9th place?! Woohoo! I do think we have a great dedicated group here. I'm hoping other teams fall off after awhile so we can be seen as the serious contenders that we are!

I missed the question of the day until I saw Rach comment on it. I'll meditate over that one. It's a great question.

And Rach, I'm glad to hear your bf is supporting you in such a positive way. I like your thoughts on just getting back to yourself. What other people think about you really doesn't matter. Many people are insecure and are threatened by the success of others. Just keep on doing what you are doing. You were beautiful in your before pictures, but I love watching you blossom into a beautiful, confident and strong woman. I'm sure everyone is noticing. :flowerforyou:

Oh, I almost forgot. I burned 605 calories today. I wanted the extra little stroll with the bf tonight to put me over 600.

You're apologizing for working out? No ma'am! That will not stand on this ship! I don't turn in calories until tomorrow morning so that everyone has the time they need to row and log. . Thanks for reporting in, though, and nice burn!

Love, love your answer, Rach, and the awesome realizations within it.

KIDNAP CHALLENGE:
We stole a crew member from badunkadunk and scored an additional 2274 calories for an extra 45.48 miles rowed! Woohoo!

Bedtime for me. Boot camp will come early in the morning! G'night loves!

Yeah, but we gave him back. :grumble:

I'm not sure where you guys saw that we're doing doubles on Friday, but I'll make a plan for it just in case. There is, however, confirmation of some real pirate activity coming up this Sunday. So, if you are taking a rest day or will be away from a computer, please let me know and keep me up to date!

Niveous

I'm game and have time to do a lot of rowing on Sunday. However, I realize that may not be the case for everyone. Depending on everyone's schedules though, if we have our entire team able to really kill it on Sunday... I'd stand behind a rather hefty bet. :P

EliteDeeDee77

Really glad my rest day is on Monday. I will be working it Friday and Sunday for sure!!

DanceYogaRun

Team, here's the game plan for Sunday...

By now you know how much you can handle and the most efficient way to get a good calorie burn. Figure out what you are going to do. Write it down on your calendar or plug it into your diary already and devote yourself to getting it done on Sunday. When you have it sorted, before Sunday, PM me with your pledge and let's crank this thing out!

RachVR6

Okay here's my pledge for Sunday:

I'm going to move my Plyo to Sunday since that's always a good burn. And then add in a 3mi run (hopefully get that done early morning before it gets hot.

Plyo ~ 550cal (if I really push I might be able to hit 600)
Run ~ 550cal (if I do less walking than usual, that might be higher)

So I'm going to pledge 1100cals!!! Big number but with you guys counting on me I know I can do it!! :flowerforyou:

RachVR6

So how does the sunday thing work?? I'm kinda confused.

Do we say hey we put X calories on table and we get them or lose them depending on if we burn more calories than the other team?? Like if we knew we were gonna get blown out of the water we could be low, but if we knew we had it in the bag we could bet reeeeally high??

Sunday is usually my rest day, but I can take Saturday off instead.

Niveous

Rest day for me today, or active recovery rather! I'll be taking the pup on a walk and doing some very light yoga though, so I'll still be contributing.

RachVR6

Thighs are definitely feelin' my 2mile run yesterday. Gonna take it easy today and just do my CS&T, p90x workout. On Day 43, beginning of Week 7! My diet could be a LOT cleaner and I've taken more rest days than are scheduled in the program but I'm definitely happy with the results I've seen so far. Going to take some measurements tonight. Really wanna push it the next 2 weeks and have some awesome 60 day photos.

My weight is back up a bit but I'm not logging it until Monday. Need to go back to eating breakfast, packing lunch, and getting in all my protein. :ohwell:
