    Monday jogged 2.25 miles.
    Thrown 7 hand grenades. (Didn't use all 12)

    Congrats team for the victory!
    I think, being the last team on, on the waiting list, and really wanting to get in, really motivated all of us.

    Fantastic work peeps!!! As much as I was dreading this challenge I think it will be great :drinker:

    I am doing the whole running in place has been a bit of fun as the kids are joining me. so.... from where I left off last time.

    While resting I managed to get in some strength training with a couple of tin fruit cans I picked up along the way. I continued running got 2 miles done with only 2 Molotovs thrown (water is my enemy, such a challenge on it's own). Those zombies are going to get more Molotov's tomorrow!!! Set them on fire I will :explode:

    We are hands down the most awesome team. There were a couple of chart problems that kept it from completely being reflected in the numbers. Look at what we have accomplished - look at the support that was given to team members when they needed it! And most importantly look how we got off our *kitten* and really got some great exercise this week!

    Go Team :explode:

    Athena...not that brokenglass didn't do an amzing job...but she's not the only one who did 9800 steps...the numbers r wrong. We have a tie. Miw I believe it was, also did the ungodly amount of stairs.

    As for me for day 1, I jogged a bit over 2miles..im counting my extra over 2miles in for tomorrows... im going by minutes jogged.. 12minutes being a mile, I did my 24minutes, plus an extra two for a heads up on tomorrow, and no idea how far 2minutes is, so im just counting it for another day! If tomorrow my body feels ok, I will do my two miles, plus an extra couple minutes, so that maybe by the end of the week I will have built up enough spare minutes to equal something on a day im hurting too bad..

    Also, I got permission to jog days and walk others, so actually I guess tomorrow ill be walking the 5miles because my biggest loser competition meets for an activity and we r all going on a 5mile walk together...how awesome that our activity matches to what this group is doing...!!

    I am so proud of all of u! U r all doing great! I think many of us were freaked out by the compeitition when it was first announced, but now that the idea has floated around in our heads, I think it will be a breeze..ha, prob speaking too soon, but its not making me devastated thinking about it anymore lol. I really appeciate all of ur kind words and encouraging me to stay, it really meant alot to have my team support me!

    For option A: You'll be required to do 30 reps of one arm dumbell rows, dumbbell straight punch and cross wood chops every other day in addition to your regular strength training regemin (easily divisable into 3 sets of 10 reps, modify as you see fit).

    For option B: You're required to do 45 reps of one arm dumbbell rows, dumbbell straight punch and cross wood chops every other day in addition to your regular strength training regemin (easily divisable into 3 sets of 15, modify as you see fit).

    If you are wondering what a cross wood chop is here's a link to show you : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuiEZWIHWrA

    Great to see you Pink Princess thanks for being our cheerleader :bigsmile:

    There's a strength training in the cardio section that I was going to use for all.

    Of course, miw14 and brokenxglass got a tie for highest amount of steps thin this challenge, we are so lucky to have 2 amazing people on our team!

    I am so sorry, miw14! Please forgive me, you are one of our MVPs this week (and every week because all of TEAM EXPLOSIVES are valuable).





    Also, if anyone is still having a problem picking their weapon, let me know and maybe we can come up with something fun :)

    Hi guys... you are all doing an amazing job.... unfortunately i think i'm going to have to bow out and leave my spot for someone on the waiting list. I would like to keep you all as friends as I continue my journey on mfp. I'm finding this particular game a little too overwhelming... I find myself comparing my progress to others and not feeling good about myself - and I know that that's not what this challenge is about. I'm just not ready for this type of challenge.... hopefully in the f uture!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!

    Please don't go! All we really expect is that you give the challenges a shot, and do what you can. We do our numbers as a team and the stronger players do what they can just the same - in the end it works out. I think our goal as a team should be to keep all of our members moving and grooving!

    One of the BIG reasons I wanted in this group is that it's not an elimination group which are super popular right now.

    Go Team :explode:

    LASH darl you shouldn't be feeling like that. This weeks challenge has definitely made a few of us cringe. But please don't let that bring you down. As I said before there will be challenges that some of us won't be so good at and that is why this Team is awesome!! We want to see each of us do our best, whether that be less or more than the challenge states. It's about doing what YOU can do. We are all at different stages of our life changing journey and it's to be expected that some people will be power houses already, but if you keep on chugging along you will get there in time. If you surround yourself with people that push their limits every day it will make you try harder and the rewards will definitely come!! Don't feel discouraged when you can't do a certain amount just know that everyday you try your hardest you will become stronger and before you know it YOU will be that person that everyone looks up to. YOU CAN DO THIS LASH!!! I will not let the Zombies take you, you are far more valuable to this team than that, just do what you can darl, we are behind you no matter what!!!! NEVER SURRENDER!!!!
