WOW!!! :noway: :noway: :noway: I'm going to get my butt kicked next week . . . and love every moment of it:happy: :happy: :happy: . Sooooo excited about this challenge. It was a slow start for me with my injury but I'm up and into it full swing now. Come on everyone we can do this!!!!!!
I love seeing the hard *kitten* side of you Lori!! I really need someone like you around when I'm thinking bad thoughts. Full of motivation and not afraid to kick my *kitten* when It's needed.
So I'm thinking of how many extra miles I can do for the 100 mile challenge. hmmm how about 6? That's only 1 extra 6 days a week. I'm sure that is pretty doable.
Ok better get back to the books. Have an awesome day everyone. I'll be back to log everything in. And remember you signed up for this challenge for only one month, that means one month of sticking to all the challenges. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!! and remember perseverance is the key:happy:

When does Week 2 start?
---
nevermind, just read over the post again - starting tomorrow, got it!0 -
In looking over the week 2 challenge I have decided that I am nuts to stay in this challenge!!! I am definitely going to need modifications on some of these. I will walk 7 miles (toward the team's 100 mile goal) in addition to my usual that I walk three times a week. This will be a total of 10 miles on my week, plus I will do the extra miles on the days of the challenge that he has assigned it. I will be under calorie goal each day because I will have no time to eat any food because I will be walking, doing the challenge, or passed out on the couch. LOL!!
Lori, do I need to contact Gary for the modifications on the ones I won't be able to do, or will you?
Have a great night everyone!!0 -
Just to formally introduce myself, my name is Elana - I'm 23 (24 on Aug. 15th!) and a health coach - so my job at work is to motivate others to change their behaviors, and so I constantly work with myself (and rely on support & help from others) to achieve my weight loss goals. Can't wait to get to know everyone on here!
I will contribute 10 miles to our team goal of 100 miles this week!! I walk about 1.5-2 miles a day, so I am definitely stepping it up for at least a few of those days! woooo!0 -
25 Push Ups done.
Under Calories done.
I did not drink enough water today though. I am working on this but for some reason that is the hardest thing for me to do is get that water in me.0 -
I'm "supposed" to start working on my distance walking this week, so hopefully I can contribute quite a few miles to the teams 100. Do you just log in every day and tell you what we accomplished?0
-
She's BAAAACK....for about 2minutes. I don't actually get home until tomorrow, but I finally got to a wireless connection...was too far back in the mountains!! However, I'm a little closer for tonight, but we're busy tonight too!!
Sending hugs to all.....

DO NOT PANIC OVER WEEK 2!!! I WAS PLANNING SOMETHING FUN FOR US TO DO AS A TEAM THEN I GOT GARY'S BEAST WEEK AND I'M LIKE WHERE CAN I FIT THE FUN IN, LOL?
Bonnie, YES I will handle getting the modification info for you. We will take it day by day and I will post modifications on here incase anyone else needs them too!
LOVE YOU TEAM PERSEVERANCE!!!! Our first weigh in is coming up and I hope we see some results!0 -
Lori,
Will weigh in be on Monday morning? Just checking...
It's a good thing school doesn't start until Aug 22... Gary might just have to be my substitute because I will be crawling instead of walking...
I will have to just use the 'Push Through' strategy I use for my students. No excuses, just do your best!0 -

Just completed logging & I'm under my calorie goal along with completing today's challenge & water intake.

Kari, I will get a clarification on the weigh in. I want it to be Monday am or Sun pm and allow it to be up to each person. I will have to see if that is ok with Gary.
I drank way more than 64 oz today, stayed under my calories thx to working out and did more than 25 push ups!!!

Today's Challenge is doing 25 of them!
Thank You Everyone for the posts!
Elana I'm not a computer geek but the way I put our team banner in my signature is by first uploading it to Photobucket.com then using the gif link and pasting it in signature. I have to take time this weekend and update our team banner with all the new member names!
KJ thanks for being someone I can always count on to post your challenge info. You live all the way around the world in a different time zone and you still manage to stay in contact. It means so much!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Love you team and I hope you all have a VERY BLESSED Saturday!!!
Just message me or leave a note here if you need me. I will be off and on all day long.
***REMINDER*** I will be posting TEAM PERSEVERANCE a new forum for week 2 and I will put the link to it at the end of this one. I will be doing this tomorrow. The forum just gets too long if I don't!0 -
WEEKLY WEIGH IN: I want you to either post your weight in here or message me if you don't want it seen by everyone. It needs done either Sunday night or Monday morning. You choose.
We earn 1 point for every pound our team loses.
THANK YOU!!!0 -
The list says squat kicks. Has this changed?0
-
Hi Judy that list is a preview of week 2 and the squat kicks come on Monday. Today is 25 squat lunges. I will post on your profile incase you don't see this soon. Have a wonderful day!!!
Also I will be keeping Diana Nyad in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow as she starts her 103 mile swim from Cuba to Florida with no shark cage. And we think this challenge is tough.0 -

Let's go Team Perseverance!!!!!0 -
Wanted to introduce myself! Just joined the team on Thursday!
I am the Director of a Prayer House-where people can come and receive prayer 6 days a week. I'm a makeup artist, costume designer, own my own jewelry business and my hubby just directed a movie that is coming out in the fall/winter.
With that said, I have essentially put my health on the back burner for years. I've been too proud to ask for any help and embarrassed that I needed to. Wow... that was hard to write. My life has always been about helping others but somewhere I got lost in that.
I AM SO THANKFUL TO FIND MFP. I plan to make the very most of it. One the first day of logging, I was eating pizza rolls. Today I have logged more fruits and veggies than I thought possible.
Regarding my profile name... People have told me since my teens that I look like Wonder Woman. It is a great compliment but also very humbling and sad to me as I look more like her 'plump daughter'... But that is about to change! I will not be sad to hear people mention Wonder Woman to me anymore!
~~Heather... the EMERGING Wonder Woman!0 -
Ty for the kind words Robbie, very sweet of you! Just trying to be available to everyone. Sadly, I wish I could offer the same to our 3 teammates who are outside the US.
Wow Heather you are one busy lady!! Sounds like you have a very exciting and fulfilling life! So thrilled to have you on our team now!!!0
