Hey team..
I've been MIA today because I wasn't able to go in to work. Some of you know (via email or my status) that I've been in alot of pain recently. I've been having trouble with my legs every since we did the squat challenge and when I did that BF class, it just threw my body into some sort of shock. Yesterday, I could hardly walk! Today, I'm better.. but every step I take is difficult. I read all the messages I'd missed and it made me so frustrated because even though I'm in agony.. I pushed and completed every challenge... no matter how long it took... because I didn't want to let the team down!
under calories: done
64+ oz water: done
both challenges: done
Now, I realize that some seem to have had a sudden health epiphany and got on the ball today... but, I'm wondering how long will it last? I'm really hoping that it will last!!! But, time will tell.
That was such an inspiring recount/story Lori! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I want to be a Bob... forever, not just today.
Hugs and love to all.0 -
Finally, I'm on here!
Check box on everything!
Challenges: done. Pushups, squats, jacks, you name it, I did it. I'm paying for it now, though!
Got 5 miles in (that's 17 miles so far)
Water = 120 oz.
Under calories - yes.
Pooped??? Definitely! LOVE YOU GUYS!!0 -
Great job everybody! You are amazing!
Been a little sick but I'm pushing through! Love you all!

Reesa you are amazing!!! TY for posting this! I am deeply proud to call you my friend. I am sorry you are hurting and I will pray for you tonight!!!0 -
I just read through all of your posts and WOW amazing job!!! I am blown away by how everyone seems to be contributing to our team miles. I have a few people I want to hear from but ya know what, for the faithful we have in this forum each day we are rocking it!!! THANK YOU!
I felt under the weather today too Robbie and Heather. I know that like me you pushed through it like champs!!!!
I'm going to go log all of your stats in now and be back on in the am!
LOVE YOU TEAM PERSEVERANCE!!!!!!0 -
LOL - cheers Lori but I can tell you now I haven't been such a glowing spirit the last couple of days but made a conscious effort to pick up my game when I got out of bed today. I've also just realised I have one more exercise challenge to complete for the team and they are the Globe jumps so will do it when I get home.
Meanwhile, I have been able to add another mile to the teams challenge.
Cheers to your constant encouragement as well as sharing about Bob!
Enjoy the rest of your day0 -

Hi Guys, for today's challenge if we run or jog, instead of stair climbing, does anyone know how long we have to run or job. I typically walk and not used to running or jogging so a time would definatly help me in the challenge.0

Gary just messaged me and said you can substitute the steps with ONE MILE of walking or jogging.
EVERYONE: PHENOMENAL JOB YESTERDAY!!!!! CAN I PLEASE SEE A REPEAT???!!!!!0 -
Ohhh NOW YOU TELL ME, only after I did my stair jog lol
It's all good Lori, as i can feel the burn already
So today was another great day,
under cals,
drunk all my water
Did ALL of the exercises, jumping jacks, global jumps, and I did 2 sets of 78 stairs = 156 steps!!! I felt bad not doing 100 all at one time hence the two sets, hope that's ok.
and 1 mile for the team
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Oh and by the way where can we find out how our team is doing?0 -
Sorry KJ, I read Tanya's question and asked Gary and posted it as soon as I got an answer. :-( Forgive me?
I don't think we can know where our team is ranked at the moment. We captains turn the info into Gary at the end of every week and he doesn't tell us who is in what place. Will have to wait until the very end of the month most likely. :-(0 -
Good morning team!
Thanks for the prayers Lori.. much appreciated. Legs are feeling better! However, I woke up sick.. so, no work again today....ear, nose, and throat stuff.... went to the doctor... upper respiratory infection... got antibiotics... so, this should be knocked out in a few days. BUT, no time to rest... I have challenges to complete!!! LOL
My doctor was thrilled that I'd lost so much weight using MFP! After all the time and money spent preparing for WLS, I'm officially not doing it!!! Well, once I found this site it was official to me.. but today after I saw my doc, we ruled it out. I can and will do this on my own...the healthy way!
Oh, and as I was getting my prescriptions (she also gave me some anti-inflammatory meds for my legs) filled.... I saw some Nutella and bought it..... why oh why did I do that????? I've got to get it out the house asap! Its sooooooo good!! #dietsabotage
Anyhoo... I'm done rambling...lol...just wanted to check in ... you guys are doing fantastic!! Hugs!0 -

Awesome, thanks for finding out for me Lori!0 -
YW Tanya!!! Reesa, I am so sorry you are still not feeling good!!! I don't like reading that at all! Don't over do it today. Your body needs rest so take it easy. Thanks for sharing your report with us! Yep that Nutella will start calling your name later today, lol!

Jules, the cut me open and you'll only find water statement was hilarious!
GREAT JOB!!0 -
50 Globe jumps - done....I either did 50 or 200! lol. Did you have to do all 4 jumps to count it as 1?
100 Jumping jacks - check...
100 Stair climbs - check (I assumed this was to go up 100 steps right?)
Water - check
Under cals - done, as long as I don't eat anything else after dinner!
So after todays challenges my knees are REALLY sore, do we have any more jumping stuff coming up?
I might need to do something else if we do. 0 -
Well, I doubt its going to miraculously go down by Sunday....but because I slacked off Saturday, Sunday, and Monday last week, I'm up 4lbs. So I probably won't have any loss at all this week. 0

under calories, over water, challenge exercises, 2 mile team walk: done
my legs feel like rubber right now!
hope everyone's day was a success.
Almost time for the Chiefs. Got to get my chores done so I can route on the Chiefs for our Team Captain.0
