We moved 232.5 miles today @ 11,624 calories burned!! We beat our first day by 75 extra miles!!! Woohoo! Keep up the great work you guys are incredible! <3 Don't forget, tomorrow we get an additional person from the ship Flying Monkeys, whoever their highest burner is for the day :D We were only 70 miles behind the last boat so we may be right next to them now!!

    Is everyone ready for the TRIPLE BURN tomorrow?!?! I hope so!! Let's bring it on!! We are SO CLOSE to passing the last boat. And I heard word that the makers of the game are trying to come up with a way for us to catch up since we started a week later than everyone else (cuz we are good like that ;)....I think that's a hint to really do your best tomorrow. It's the weekend, I know, but that is just more of a reason to go out and do something fun & active and get triple credit for it!!! Have a great day everyone! Burn baby burn! ;)

    P.S. We burned over 18,239 calories today as a whole and rowed over 364 miles (including the 3438 we got from Flying Monkeys last night!)!! We are on a roll, no one can catch us!!! :P Keep up the great work and I hope tomorrow we can pass the last ship!! Lets DO THIS!!! :D

    Here are our standings for the week:
    Monday 157.5 miles
    Tuesday (double burn equiv - 441.76) 883.52
    Wednesday 232.48
    Thursday 200.48
    Friday 364.78 (with 3438 from the Flying Monkeys)

    Are you going to add in Sundays numbers? And what days are the double and triple days?

    I haven't gotten everyone's numbers for Sunday yet, must have had a long weekend! So I am waiting for those, sent messages out for them. I will be sending in Sunday & today's numbers tonight, so you can see the updated map tomorrow I think. Also tomorrow (Tuesday) is a double day, which means if you burn 1000 calories you get credit for 2000 (but all teams are doing this so it can be an advantage if you burn a lot, but disadvantage if you don't!), Thursday is kidnap day again and Saturday is triple burn day!! So let's get some major calories burned tomorrow!! We are finally in the game!! woohoo!

    I still didn't hear from everyone regarding their cals burned on Sunday, but I submitted it to end the week. I will add any extra to today (Monday). So for last week (week 1) we rowed 3257.94 miles and burned 98,665 calories!! Great job everyone!! I am so proud!!! :D Let's try to burn more calories than last week, because like I heard in a movie yesterday, if you aren't moving forward your at a standstill or moving backwards, and we want to keep doing better!! Let's keep this boat cruisin! Let's shoot for a total of 105,000 calories burned for next week!! I think we can do it!! Teamwork! :)

    Wow! I just checked where we were on the map for the first time in almost a week (no internet)... and I can't believe how much we've caught up! Just a week more or so of settling into my new place and then I'm getting a gym membership and a bike. I'll be burning more calories soon!!! I can't wait to start contributing more (:

    Hey Seas the Dayer!! I hope you are having a great start to your Monday, double day! If you haven’t sent me your cals for today yet, please send those in to me tonight when you are done. :)

    Here is an update through the weekend: we have rowed a total of 6217.3 miles --- 2959.36 miles this week and 3257.94 miles the 1st week. Keep up the great work!!!

    The map should be updated tomorrow/Tues so you can take a look then and see where we are at! I know we have made significant progress!

    On Saturday, our triple day, we rowed 1087.32 miles!

    On Thursday we added 355 calories burned from Yellow Submarine’s lowest burner (x5) :D


    Here are the games for this week:

    Monday: double burn day

    Wednesday: water Wednesday --- you get 10 miles per glass of water you drink (up to 9 glasses/90 miles!!) – Please make sure to send me your # of glasses of water drank --- let’s shoot for 9 each!!!! That would add 135 miles for the day between all of us, you can do it!! And if you do get a workout in please send that over to me as well :)

    Friday: double burn day!

    Saturday & Sunday are double attack weekend: we attack a boat near us (up to 2 behind or in front of us) and get their highest calorie burns for Sat & Sun & we then triple that amount!!


    Let’s make this week count BIG and get our boat moving further ahead! Have a great week everyone! And don’t forget to send me your cals burned (& cups of water drank on Weds)!! :D

    We are now updated through Monday on the map (link at the bottom). We rowed whopping 514.24 miles (doubled) yesterday!!! WE ARE IN 6th PLACE!!!!!!! (& started a week late!!) Awesome job guys!! Keep up the AMAZING work!!! :D

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you get in 9 cups of water tomorrow/Weds - do it for the team ;) it will help you out and make sure we at least stay where we are at (6th place woohoo!) or maybe even get ahead if we are lucky! If EVERYONE on the team gets in 9 cups (72 oz) that’s 135 miles with *NO WORKOUT*!! (its a rest day!) (if you do get in a killer workout we can add it to Thursdays, but its supposed to be a rest day soo its up to you—I know some of you are on a good plan and won’t be taking the day off!) That's gotta be some incentive to drink up though! Add some lemon/lime/orange to it if that will help you out...Plus if that's not enough incentive... water helps not only to help release impurities from your body, but also helps with full body functioning, including your brain, which is made up of 80% water, and also makes your skin look & feel better. It is said to even help boost your metabolic rate! Lack of water can cause many many issues in the body. 9 cups of water is what a person who is 144+ lbs should be drinking every single day, if not more.

    I honestly hate drinking water, and it has caused an unbelievable amount of problems in my life, not joking at all, if you are interested you can message me and I will explain…. Let’s just say…seizures…just to get started… so now I am challenging myself to drink 100 oz of water each and every day…and just in one day it has helped tremendouslyyyy.

    But if that’s not enough incentive yet…. "Water hydrates your body and helps it work efficiently. Water boosts your metabolic rate, which gives you energy and helps to burn calories. It is an essential drink in everyday life and a great tool for those who are dieting. Since feeling thirsty and hungry often go hand-in-hand, if you’re feeling thirsty you might accidentally start eating instead of going for a glass of water. Try to listen to what your body needs and keep a water bottle close at hand. You don’t want to be adding on the extra pounds by eating when you’re not even hungry. If you’re feeling hungry drink a glass of water 15 minutes before eating, it will help to subside your hunger so you can better manage your portion control. The health benefits of drinking water are numerous from increasing your metabolism and boosting your energy levels, to hydrating your body and moisturizing your skin. Water is one of the most vital substances our body needs."

    Soooo JUST DO IT! I know you can!! I already have you all down for 9 cups … more incentive for ya ;)
