    Hi team!

    I respectfully am withdrawing my name from the team.
    After reading week two and reflecting upon the upcoming challenges, I realise that I cannot juggle it all plus my career and family life. I will continue monitoring my calories and exercise with MFP but not with a team at this point and time. I apologize and wish you all the best of luck!

    I've had a change of heart, after having shared my concerns with our team captain. I've decided to try the pygmy version vs the bushmen and see what happens. I hate not doing my best and letting others down. Thanks for listening to my jibber-jabber!
    Wishing all a great week :happy:

    Saw the challenges for today and almost wanted to cry. I did a 10 mile run yesterday and my legs are still sore. Soo…I did tomorrow’s challenges today. Arm-work was doable today; legwork not so much.

    Here’s my day in a nutshell:

    Tabata + 3 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Presses, 3 sets of 21’s, 3 sets of 15 Dumbbell Chest Fly’s, 3 Sets of 15 Lawnmowers, 3 sets of Tricep Kickbacks, 3 sets of 15 Woodchops (these almost killed me – legs were involved with this exercise…ouch…ouch ouch), 20 Pushups (modified if needed) = DONE!
    Calories = Under
    Water = 8 glasses

    Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend!

    Hi all! This past weekend I have been moving in order to start my first job post college graduation! I've been incredibly busy with that, but have manages to do the challenges as well. I won't have Internet until Friday, so my posts will be sporadic but I'm still participating!! My weight didn't change from The first weigh in but hopefully after settling in to my new lifestyle I'll see some progress. Good job so far everyone!

    Hey everyone! Today was my first day of my job and it was already hard to resist office temptation : panera catered for lunch and candy in front of me all day!! I completed the pygmy exercises (with the only weights I have at my new apartment which are 12 lbs, what a burn!!). I also ran 1.5 miles so that counts for extra points right?

    Water- complete
    Calories - under
    Challenge - complete

    with that said....I'm going to bed. Was a long weekend moving my daughter. Missing her something fierce, but also so incredibly excited for her new job/adventure.

    Tomorrow is a new day!

    9-6-11:
    Water: yes
    Cals: yes
    Exercise: no

    So I was pretty sick throughout the day w/ some sort of painful acid issues and didn't want to upset my stomach more by working out. I did drink all of my water and I stayed within my calorie goal, but I will have to see if this happened because I got too stressed somehow, or just overdid it w/ my workout the other night.

    so sorry i've been a little MIA these last few days.
    started work yesterday, the kids started school and things have been a little chaotic!
    but don't worry, i've been doing all my challenges, drinking my water and staying under my calories.
    (bad planning on my part and these 2 days i've been significantly under - running late in the morning and not having time to prepare my lunch!!!)

    i'm sure you guys have seen Fochizzy has had to withdraw due to problems with her ankle.
    So, we are currently looking for another member of our team.
    If you know anyone who may be interested please ask them to PM or email me.
    I will also make a public post.

    thanks guys!
    also, congrats on staying on track and hitting those challenges!
