wow - I completed everything in the PYGYMY series EXCEPT the split squats, it hurt my knees too bad.... so i did 25 kick squats instead.... sorry ladies.... I ALSO RAN a mile and a half!! of course I had to break it up but I still did it! and when I you tubed the bear walk, it looked fun, boy was I in for a surprise...it tired me out but I did it the entire minute!I am SO Proud of myself! How did you guys do with today's challenge??....
I did the advanced, but it almost killed me!
I was with you thinking the bear walk wouldn't be bad... holy crap!! That and the burpees were a struggle, but I did it... plus a 5K run this morning. Hoping I can keep up with this pace now that I'm back to work tomorrow... and travelling Wed-Thurs. Doing it as a challenge will force me to do it and not let you guys down though!! 0 -

Okay, I'm just reading the 2nd week challenges. I haven't been on my computer for 2 days...running back and forth to the hospital to see my Nana and coming home late in the evening. I've been logging in from my phone. Today is another day of going to the hospital, but I'll be home earlier then the last 2 days because I'm getting burn't out. I like walking/jogging so I'm glad this has been added to the challenge.0

Good Morning Mates! How's everyone doing with the workouts?...0

OMG, I just had to make up some exercises that I missed last week... what ever you do, don't miss more than one day... stacking up of these exercises just about killed me but I knew I had to do it for my team! WHERE YALL AT?.... How has it been going for you guys?.... only 2 more weeks to go! I hope we win or at least come close to winning! Let's Go Team Survivettes!!0

Week Three Weekly Team Challenge
Same water and calories challenge plus walk, run, jog 5 miles this week all at once. No break, No stopping!0 -
How's everyone doing? I'm loving this, but the scale doesn't seem to be. I'm being patient with the "toning" process and not putting too much pressure on the number though.
5 miles, really??? I don't know about that one - running my second race on Sunday, and that 5K is the longest I've done to date... I suppose the next step is upping it to something around 5 miles, but I've got to get this race under my belt first.
The rest, I promise I will do though! Hope everyone has a great week!!0 -
I feel you on the 5mile thing. I will probably do the 5 mile thing on a sunday, which wil be the only thing i do on that day. Yeah i gianed a couple of punds and I know why, it's my own fault. But i am definetly getting stronger with the challenges.
I ust started school again and late night munching has begun. Need to nip that one in the bud.
Good lUck ladies0 -

we all need to up our game!!! although our team is till in tack minus one member cptino due to injury, we are not as dedicated as we were in the beginning....I blame myself some but you all have to be accountable for yourselves!! If we agree to do the challenge then we need to stay motivated for the full challenge....Yes we all are busy working, being parents and all that, but you also are doing this for yourself. Take 20 minutes out of your day and get the challenge in and you're done!!! We have 2 weeks left and I want us to give 200 percent!!!!
A lot of other teams have lost half their members due to lack of committment to the challenge...0 -
I thought all of you had fallen off and given up on the challenges... I would come to the message board and post messages with no responses. I am still doing the challenge exercises but I'm also doing boot camp which is kicking my *kitten*.... so with that being said... How are you ladies coming along with the challenges?.. we have 2 more weeks to kick sum *kitten*.... Let's do it!!0

:sad: sorry guys, I have truly let you all down. I haven't done ANY exercises in 3 days! It's been raining here so I can't work out outside and my air conditioner at home broke down therefore I haven't done anything there either. I am going to try and catch up today but I apologize to all of you. I am so disappointed in myself... 0
-
I'm feeling the same way..I haven't been on my game for about 2wks now. I haven't done any of the challenges. I hit a stand still and I didn't have any motivation to keep moving if the scale wasn't moving. So I'm here hoping this along with doing strict low carb will help me break this plateau..:sad: sorry guys, I have truly let you all down. I haven't done ANY exercises in 3 days! It's been raining here so I can't work out outside and my air conditioner at home broke down therefore I haven't done anything there either. I am going to try and catch up today but I apologize to all of you. I am so disappointed in myself...0 -
I can honestly say, minus a few of the survivettes, we have all been off our game! I'm going to push myself this final week and see where the chips fall next month. I think there needs to be some changes to the challenge as far as knowing in advance what the challenges will be for each week instead of waiting on Gary.0
-
I forgot to weigh this morning and I will send it in the morning...but umm am I missing the list for this week? LOL I dunno what to do today!? although I did ride my bike for 6.88 miles!0
-
