Can't wait to get to know all of you!

Hi! I can't wait to get started. I find myself lacking some motivation this week.

ohsointricate8

I'll be happy to step up to being team captain if nobody else wants to claim that..

we also need to think of a name! I'm not creative at all so other input is needed!

aleah623

I was really hoping our other 2 team mates would come over. I think we only have until Friday to come up with a name and captain.

ohsointricate8

Yeah me too! I think we actually only have until tonight.. so we can just decide on something! Unless our other wonderful team members see this!!

Sorry Ladies, it's been a long day and I didn't get on the computer until now. I'm not sure how to come up with a name. Maybe we should try to see if there's anything we all have in common.

aleah623

I think the name can be anything. Red Hot Losers?

ohsointricate8

I like that one!

SDV219

Hi Girls! Sorry for the late check in, just getting home now from a softball game!

I the Red Hot Losers ... funny!!

ginabina13 --> your pics in the ticker are awesome!! Soo exciting that you're having a wedding soon!! You know those days willfly by!!

I'm new to this whole thing, but I'm more than willing to help out! Let's do this!! YAY!!

ohsointricate8

No problem! I just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page! So red hot losers it is! and does anyone want to be team captain? (I will, but I am MORE than willing to let someone else take it!)

ginabina13

Red Hot Losers is fine with me!! I've never done any type of challenge before, this is exciting!

SDV219 - Thanks for the complement! The days are already flying by...it's crazy!

ohsointricate8 - I think you should be the captain! You're doing a great job so far!

ohsointricate8

Thank you! I'll message Jen right now! Love my red hot losers!

aleah623

I just sent a last friend request. I appologize I missed you. I'm on board with everything.

I'm really excited for this to start. This is what I need to get my butt working in the right direction again. Its been so hot and humid here that I just don't have the motivation to do anything.

ohsointricate8

me too! and the challenges don't look too bad so we should be able to do it!

aleah623

I hope everyone had a great first day for the challenge!

ginabina13

I know we get points for miles, but I do Power 90 for my workouts. Is there a way I can convert that to miles?

ohsointricate8

The only way that I can think of converting that to miles is wearing a pedometer... I'm not sure if that will even work though.

ohsointricate8

Also, just in case you didn't see my update -

If you could send me your points at the end of the day in a message that would be great. Idealistically I would like to send them to Jen each night around 10 pm (central time).. Let me know your thoughts on that time. I can always change it!

aleah623

I found out my pedometer only works half the time. I have to look for my other one. I'm going to our big farmers market in the morning.

ohsointricate8

Good luck today ladies! I know the 10 cups of water will be a challenge for me!

aleah623

I have 3 in so far and almost 2.5 miles of walking. I think I'm going to hit my pound goal this week.

Does anyone here drink water out of plastic bottles or drink propel? I used my water bottle strap today while I was at the farmers market and it was a life saver. I'm willing to crochet and send one to you if you would like one. I also make wrist ones.

ohsointricate8

That would be so cool! I always have a water bottle with me now!
(about to get my 3rd one in!)

aleah623

Do you have a color in mind or my choice? You will have to message me your address.

SDV219

Ladies .. those windshield wipers are NO JOKE!!! Have about 6 waters down ... another 4 to go for challenge. Also ran about 1.5 miles today ... my body is not going to like me ... but let's face it, I haven't liked it either!! LOL So ppttttt.

C'mon girls ... we can do this!!

My new favorite quote!!! "Today's preparation is tomorrow's achievements!!"

Enjoy your day!!

I have 6.5 miles of walking in so far. I still have to finish the wipers. I'm not liking them at all. We just had a big rainstorm. I'm hoping it will stay cool long enough for me to take another walk. I'm on glass 8 of water and its early yet.

I like the quote!

I'm not sure if you guys checked the other thread but non-distance workouts count too now. Jen updated the group for going forward.

ohsointricate8

Hey ladies! here's the update! "So, starting today (we will not backtrack on yesterday's points), for every 20 minutes of cardio (not including the time you spend to do the daily exercise challenge), you will earn a mile (10 points). So, say you do Zumba for 45 minutes - we'll count that as 2 miles or 20 points."

ginabina13

Sweet! Starting my P90 workout now, at 10 glasses of water, and did 30 windshield wipers so far.

So ladies, since we're a team now, I think we should get to know each other a bit better...what do you think? I haven't had a chance to check out everyone's profile, planning on doing that after the workout.

ginabina13

Workout complete! So, I did 80 total minutes of cardio today, so that's 40 points, right?

I drank 12 glasses a water so that's 5 points.

I struggled through 50 windshield wipers, but to be honest the last 30 were really weak...they hurt my back way too much so I didn't want to push it...not sure if I should get the 10 points or not.

So that makes 55 points (if my windshield wipers count)

How'd you all do??

ohsointricate8

I did 60 minutes of Cardio and drank all my water! only 35 points today but I'm still making progress. I'm really proud of all of us!

SDV219

Gina I'm with you on getting to know everyone a little bit better!!

Today was a good day for me ... I have this fire inside!!

I was able to complete all the challenges ... did 50 windshield wipers, drank all my water and then some, stayed under calories, and if it wasn't so late, I'd love to get in one more workout!!

Tomorrow I have a bridal shower, so I'm not sure what the menu will be like, but hoping to stick with fruits and veggies!! So I'll probably have to work out extra hard!! :0)

I look forward to getting to know you girls better!! Can anyone make one of those cool badges, or something like that so we can add it to our profile?? I'm clueless on that stuff.

Here's to another day tomorrow!! xoxo

I managed to get 9 miles of walking in, water done, but sadly my back couldn't handle the windshield wipers. I did 10 and I thought my back was going to give out. I will still take the 95 points.

So where is everyone from? Whats your favorite hobby?
