    8/1 – Completed exercise and food challenge (and water) = )
    8/2 – Completed exercise and food challenge (and water) = )
    8/3 – Completed exercise and food challenge (and water) = )
    8/4 – Completed exercise and food challenge (and water) = )
    8/5 – Completed exercise and food challenge (and water) = )
    8/6 – Didn't complete any challenges! = (

    Sooooo... I got wayyy too f'd up last night. Even with a 2 mile stumble back to my friends place. I still went over on calories. And as much as I wanted to..I didn't bust out my lunges in the bar. haha. And water took a back burner after booze.

    Current weight: 148.6, but i get the feeling it'll move back up.



    Also, in my food diary..yesterday is missing a "chuck norris shot". I have no clue what was in it so I didn't log. I was over either way. Then...this morning i had junk food at Del Taco, but I got mostly "seasonal foods", if you will, so they aren't on the nutritional values menu.

    Hey all sorry I've been so MIA the past couple of days. I have some not so great news, but it could be worse. I haven't completed the challenge for the past two days. This is because I went home and let myself cheat a bit plus didn't get any exercise.. But I'm back on the horse now! I am committing myself fully once again to the challenge.

    Also, I am at 149.8.

    Is it just me? I'm struggling to keep my competitive juices in check. Is there a way we can help those who are not keeping up that is constructive and positive? Will a team roster be published so we can try to encourage those who are struggling? I fear I may lose steam if we don't step it up as a team. But then again maybe I am just being too competitive.

    I'm feeling it too. Some days I really haven't been in the mood to do the extra exercises but I have....for the team. I have also watched and stayed under in calories.
    Kind of discouraging when others don't.
    Just keep remembering this is about You. The challenge is only supposed to make it more fun.....not stressful.

    We are all doing better than we were a couple years ago....and that's a really wonderful thing!

    The 100 miles is on top of what we usually do right? I'm afraid i'm only going to be able to do a mile extra a day (if that). I only usually do 2 miles and that's pushing it. With the extra exercises - i'm going to be exhausted this week. I hope my body can handle it.

    Im not sure. I thought the daily exercises were the only thing that were extra. Ill try and ask him today, but ive already sent him a second message about alternative exercises for beginners. Dont want to bombard the guy. In the meantime, just log what you do.

    YaYa had a great suggestion! She got down on all fours and did back kicks instead. I think thats a fair alternative.

    In response to the "extra" mile question, I have been told by another captain friend that "It's above and beyond what you would normally do." The same is true for tomorrow and the weekly 100 mile challenge.

    8/8 food complete water complete - 50 squat kicks complete

    3 miles for the team. Do not normally do cardio on Mondays so all the miles today were extra. :)

    I am thankful for whoever created the calendar. I'd be lost w/o it. Between work, workouts, extra workouts and now trying to study for my Series 24 I need something dummy proof to keep me on track.:wink:

    I really hate to do this to you guys ... but I think I have to be out of this challenge. Last week I had trouble exercising because of the bad hip ... this week I have a half marathon at the end of the week so I am leary to do any new exercises ... and next week I will be in recovery from the race because I plan on leaving it all out there..... so forgive me ... Good luck to everyone!
