    I'm sorry. *hangs head*

    Lol. Well at least I can poke my chest out now and say "I did 100 mountain climbers today." Now that I'm done I appreciate that. Lol. And why don't we challenge 50 belt kicks and let them up it to 100. I really don't wanna be doing 150 belt kicks. Lol.

    Agreed ill send it out in the am

    Wow, between the burpees and the mountain climbers, my body really hurts!

    Also, I'm out of town for the weekend, but I'll keep logging my food and exercise, I just won't be on the actual website as much as I have been in the past.

    Also, weigh in is when, Sunday night? I'll be home by then and sent you all of my info Laurie!

    I think we should pick another team for those. Give someone else a chance to step up to the plate. Team captain do you have a list of teams? We should just randomly pick teams to challenge. Lol

    I am friends with one person from team globo gym and one from saints and slimmers that I know of. I can issue one challenge to each. Or challenge one with belt kicks today and the lunges tomorrow. What do y'all think?

    Can't we preemptively challenge them? Hit 'em fast and hard, give them some extra time to sweat and worry about tomorrow's workout. >:D

    Also... if we're continuing this madness... Today would be 100 jumping jacks, 50 sit ups, 40 up and downs, 25 push ups... Then the challenge of 20 globe jumps and 25 crab touches? Is that right? Or am I missing something?

    I'd hate to let my team down by forgetting something... not that scapez would let me!!

    I wanted to approach the topic of Sunday's results:

    If you could private message me the following information (just copy and paste what's listed below and change it with your information) by Sunday around 7 est. I will gather the results and email Gary the winning team's numbers that evening. :bigsmile:

    I met the Daily exercise challenges on Days: (e.g. 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (1=Monday, etc))
    I met my water requirement and stayed under my targets calories on Days: (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

    What about the extra challenges? Are we not tracking those? Or are they just to reinforce our sense of moral superiority over other teams?

    @scapez... I don't see you denying it. :P

    No the extra challenges are not required as far as points, its just to push us even farther.

    Is this a hundred miles in a week?

    Between all of the team members. So we have 26 members? so it would be 3.85 miles per person roughly. If someone can't walk I'm assuming that someone else can pick up those miles

    I think it is 100 miles for the whole team. So we have about 20 people, so that is 5 miles per person. Unless someone wants to walk more. You can have some of my miles!! :bigsmile:

    An extra five miles in a week should be easy. As such, I shall do 10. :D

    I'll do 10 miles next week too! I'll be honest, I don't mind our challenges except for Jumping jacks. Probably our easiest task, but I DISLIKE them. :noway:
    And I'm hoping my weight is down because Tuesday when I weighed myself I was +3! Noooo! I'm avoiding the scale until Sunday.
