    we stole a member from another boat? Wow we are pirates!

    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!

    *kitten* just got real.
    :drinker:


    Sorry, I am confused with this terminology. what are "double's"? and why are we planning ahead on our Sunday activity? I have to work on Sunday but I will be doing a *kitten* ton of walking for 5 hours LOL (I'm not sure how to estimate that)

    Way to go on all the dedicated calorie burns everyone!

    Please mail me your pledges instead of posting them here. I don't want the other ships looking through their spyglass and figuring out our totals.

    I'll have more details about how it works as Lee posts them, but feel free to post questions directly in the thread so he can consider them when he explains it more.

    Thanks for swapping your off day, Zannahdia!

    That sounds like my kind of recover day, niveous. I could sure use some yoga today, but i guess I'll have to settle for a massage. :tongue:

    There have been, and will be lots of little games within the challenge. Friday, we'll get double miles for calories burned. The kidnap thing was another. Sunday, I need to have a good idea of what you will burn for another game that was linked up-thread. This is a busy challenge, lol.

    I'm sorry to everyone that my calories burnt is nowhere near what they could be or what I'd like them to. Different parts of my body (mainly my feet) have taken this opportunity to crap out on me and it's better if I rest a bit so I can go full force again rather than just adding and adding. I feel bad that I'm not accomplishing what I set out for and I plan on changing it. Just don't want you guys to think I joined this just to jump ship as soon as it started.

    Heal quickly and fully, Emily. Life is life, even when on a, and I quote, "mutha f***in' boat." :wink:

    TOMORROW IS DOUBLES DAY! All your hard work will be rewarded with double miles to push our mighty yacht even farther along our path. Wake up with a game plan so you can maximize your awesomeness!

    Tomorrow, my plan looks like:
    boot camp
    hydro training - if I wake from my post boot camp nap in time.
    Swimming with the boys
    Hopefully zumba, as well.

    Post your calories when you can, even if they are zero. I will be heading to bed early tonight, so I will be well rested for my workout plan tomorrow.

    I posted this on my profile, but it deserves repeating.. I am so incredibly proud of Team Feelin' Nauti! You ladies and guy :wink: are all giving it your best and working hard for not only yourselves, but each other. No drama, no guilt, just lots of good old fashioned teamwork. Some of you may be a little down with injuries or illness, but you will be our mighty secret weapon when you are back in full health. We'll pull ahead in the end and rock this thing!! :drinker:

    Got in a little bit of a burn today. Was supposed to do Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps today but couldn't bring myself to stand in the spare bedroom for an hour. So i got on the elliptical and after 10min I got bored (and harrassed by some dude tryin to give me his number so I could call him when my sister's tattoo shop opened....yea right).....then I hopped on the treadmill but just couldn't find my groove. So then I left I drove over to the trails and did an 11min mile. Not bad but I feel like crap now. Mostly because I ate junk all day.

    Anyway, enjoying some iced coffee mix, grabbing a shower and heading to bed. :yawn:

    My scale died yesterday :( I weighed myself yesterday morning and it read a 16 lb loss. I knew that was wrong, turned it off then back on and tried it again, then it read a 2lb gain!! AARGGHH!! Bought a new scale today and hope it will be friendlier than the last one!

    Hey team, I need to apologize. I am not going to be able to make it to the gym today; I have felt absolutely horrible ALL day long. I need to go home and have some chicken broth :(
    I'll hit it hard this weekend to hopefully make up for what I cannot give today.
    You guys are doing awesome!

    The challenge is all about motivation to be a healthier and fit you, so taking a day or two to listen to your body and take care of it is nothing to apologize for.

    Dee said it perfectly. Rest up and don't be sorry about it! :)

    And I just looked at the spreadsheet... wow, you guys are killing it today! I'm seriously amazed.

    Sorry I couldn't kick more butt on doubles day today, team. I had big plans but this migraine really put me down and out. Left work early, binged on chocolate muffin and doritos and took a nap. I didn't want to workout at all but made myself do a quick mile on the trails so I would have SOMETHING to contribute. No point in doubling a big fat 0.

    I'm gonna rest up and really bring it on sunday!!!

    Yes on all counts! Never apologize for doing what's right for your body! /hugs

    I'm so proud of you guys! We burned an extra 1284 calories more than we did on the last double day!! Our total, doubled miles were 485.56! Feelin' Nauti kicks some major booty! har har! :glasses:

    Rez83 rocked out the highest burn yet, 2433! WOW! :drinker:

    We also had several crew mates who broke the 1k mark. Cheers to Niveous, oxavecamourxo, ZannahDia, and EliteDeeDee! :drinker:

    Big hugs to those who are down with illness and injuries this week. The scurvy'll wear off soon and everyone will be ship shape just in time for us to win this! :wink:

    I'm turning the mileage in to Lee now, so we can see our yacht pulling ahead in the morning. Nite. ya scallywags!

    It looks like we are in 5th place! Is that right? Someone else confirm my eyes.


    And did you get my numbers? Sorry I didn't post them here last night. I haven't been on much in the last couple of days. I need to get my act together.

    We're in sixth place. There's four boats way out in the lead and then one boat just barely out in front of us. :)

    Thanks Niveous and Marcia! 6th place is still an improvement! Woohoo!

    Marcia, I did get your numbers, but I'm off somewhere by 53 cals. I'll just have to add them in today.

    Thank you to those of you who turned in your pledges. However, I don't think there will be a challenge today. Go ahead with your bad selves and knock out what you can, though!

    One little gripe/request and then I'm moving on to my usual carefree self. I would really appreciate it if you updated me of your calorie burn in some way when you are finished exercising for the day. Also, update me if you are not exercising for the day. I need to see a zero so that I'm not waiting on a number that isn't coming. My absolute preferred method is for you to go ahead and update your column on the spreadsheet. Aside from that, send me a message or post it here. It takes time for me to go to individual diaries to find calorie burns for the day. Some days i have time, but not always.

    Our yacht is farther behind then it should be this morning because the spreadsheet is missing several entries. I'll let you guys get it sorted and when the spreadsheet is full, I'll turn in the numbers to Lee.

    Obviously, several of you have been on top of it from the get go. So please disregard the above and thank you for your work

    Please return to your regularly scheduled awesomeness that is Team Feelin Nauti. Let's keep our flippie floppies on and kick some *kitten*!

    What to look forward to this week:
    Ok

    First sorry about not getting the Sunday game sorted, I ran out of time, plus a few people rightly pointed out that that game was being more about luck and not actually rowing the world.

    SO this weeks games

    TUEDAY is DOUBLE DAY

    THURSDAY IS .............. KIDNAP DAY........ attack a boat again........ same as last time, but the boat under attack can still count the kidnapped person

    SAT is ........... TRIPLE DAY !................. I see that weekends tends to be one of the hardest ones to keep focus and get a good work out in............. so I hope by it being triple day it will give us all time to look at our work outs and PLAN !

    ALSO anyone looking for a new team member or if anyone want to join, please post here so people can get teamed up !

    Hope you are all liking the game !
    PLEASE BUMP

    Lee....

    So I totally set my alarm for 8AM to get ready to workout for the challenge this morning... and I'm not gonna lie, as soon as I saw the challenge was called off, I immediately went back to bed. :P Normally I would've done my workout anyway, but it being Sunday and that lovely time of the month, my motivation to get up and workout was slim to none. I'll do something today though, I promise! :D I'm looking forward to these challenges throughout the week too!
