I completed my exercise today.. I just left EVERYTHING at the gym.. I don't think I have worked that hard in a long time.... I just finished my 64oz of water and will def be under calories today.

GO CUT THE CABOOSE

IMYarnCraz33

Day 6 Challenges D O N E!!
my arms are feeling the burn!!!!
normal routine on top of pygmy challenges... WOW lol

here's an idea of what I do for regular routine:

6 sets of 15 --3 different style leg lifts (3 sets both legs)
4 sets of 15 leg extensions (2 sets each leg)
50-100 crunches (did 100 today)
4 sets of 15 bicep/tricep combos (8 sets total with 5lb dumbbells)
4 sets of 15 military press with dumbbells (5lb)
4 sets of 15 chest press (5lbs dumbbells)
2 sets of 25 body weight squats

then add today's pygmy:
100 J. Jacks
2 sets of 21's (did 4 sets today)
50 crunches (did total of 150 crunches--regular routine & challenge)

Now you know why my arms are JELLO :laugh:
some days I switch it up and do swimmers presses in place of
military press on day it's not in the challenge
or break it up and do one day upper body next day lower

Great job!!

Btw, I went and read through the thread for the captains and there was a
slight mix up. The first week should have been 3 days and rest day on Sunday.
I know we're in the middle of the week now so changing could be confusing.
Maybe since I've already posted week 2, we could just start on Day 3 (of week 2) for Wednesday
& finish up the week (on week 2) day 4, 5, 6 and rest up on Sunday to prepare for week 3.

Just highlight and copy (ctrl + C) the code then go to community
click "signature"
then paste (ctrl +V) the code into the box
then change the IMG at the beginning and end of the code to lower case.
be sure to save it.

Also I am still trying to catch up on who has done what.
I need to know how many days you've done your daily challenges
and if you've done your weekly challenge (64oz--or more--of water per day, been under calorie goal per day) etc.
Also need weigh in's for the week. I would like to have weigh-ins done on Sunday or Monday as Sunday
will now be our rest day.

Howdy everyone! I was a little confused by the day/week switch mentioned earlier, but I think I've figured it out now. So far I have done all the Pygmy challenges each day, and have met the water and calorie goals. I've also been stealing an exercise or two to add in from the Bushman series, but they are a little much for me right now. Just gonna keep working at it, though! Monday is my normal weigh-in day, so I'll send our cap my numbers then. Keep up the good work Cut the Caboose!!!

dbaumgarn

oh crap! just saw this about the day/week thing-thought today was rest day so I slept in! Oh well I will get it in. As I have told you before I have completed all daily challenges, stayed under calorie goal and did the 64oz of water. I didn't see where Week 2 is posted...I will have to look for that....

digitalsinner

Haven't missed a challenge yet, I met my water and my calorie goals for yesterday!

The scale, however, has not budged. It's really getting frustrating.

horsepullerlovesme

is today still our day off of challengei guess i am confused? :noway: sorry

have you done any measurements? you may be losing inches.
the scale can sometimes be a little deceptive.
otherwise if you think you're at a plateau, some people recommend
increasing your daily calorie goal by 100-200 for a week or 2
just to shock the body a bit, then lower it back to your normal amount.

is today still our day off of challengei guess i am confused? :noway: sorry

it's been confusing with the captain change and then realizing Gary changed
the schedule.
When he did Week 1 he forgot that the beginning of September
was only 3 days & Sundays were suppose to be rest days. I didn't catch the change until late yesterday.
What I would suggest is to just do the challenge today and leave out your normal workout
that way you're giving your bodies a bit of a rest. Then do a full rest on Sunday to prep for next week.
Remember, the challenges will increase as we go along and we need to rest so our bodies can recover.

On that note I need to change my exercise for today. I always log it before I actually do it L0L

terrie98

Done with the exercises for today... finishing up water and will stay under calories.

IMYarnCraz33

Got my exercise challenge done
and i'm already at 72oz of water.
Looks like I'll be below calories too.
