O.K. So how do we know which group name and challenge we go with. Leaving work soon to try 30 minutes of Kettlebells. I will let you know how it goes. Im glad someone like Who Dat, but I like GridironGirls (If that is my team)

WanderLaura

Gridiron girls is AWESOME! I say we go with that, team!! All of your goals are so awesome!! I'm going to aim high and try desperately not to fail!! First, though, I'm going to tell y'all a little about what's going on in my life right now:

My husband just left to train for his job in Geospatial Engineering in the Army... so he's gone for 10 whole weeks with no communication other than letters!! I'm trying to get really skinny for him because I know he'll be super fit when he gets finished!!

So here are my personal goals:
lose 2 pounds
run 8 miles
drink 2 liters of water/ day

team Gridiron girls goals: do 50 sit ups/ crunches/ day

team 2... what's your name and your goal?? Did I miss it?! haha

rebecca_florida

Yeah Gridiron Girls! 50 sit ups it is - starting tomorrow!

I forgot to list my football team's goal for the week. I'm a Bear's fan, and since there is no real game this week other than the preseason, I'm going to make it a three-part "goal".

My Bear's goal for this week: part 1 - sign Matt Forte to a new contract already!! :mad: ; part 2 - score at least 2 TD's in the preseason game Thursday :drinker: ; and part 3: keep Dane Sazenbacher on the 53 man roster on Saturday

jjbraid

Noone officially picked a name. I'm just waiting for the first game when the Saints play the Packs. Awesome game!

Another goal should be to have Cutler smile for once in his life.. Oh wait! Pouty face will never smile.

ChristmasCrystal

Another name could be Beast Mode! Hahaha I'm a wee bit obsessed with that phrase LOL

danizaga

beast mode love it or what about child please? do any of you watch THE LEAGUE on FX? omg i don't play fantasy football but i can't get enough of that show.

i have a question about strength training/interval training i know you're not suppposed to work the same muscle groups on back to back days but say if i do an interval training dvd and use light weights like 3# then the next day go to the gym and use the machines...is that too little time for my muscles to recover? just asking because i'm struggling to get strength training in.

50 crunches this morning on my medicine ball and i didn't roll off!

WanderLaura

jjbraid

Wholly Molly! Just got back from gym. Ran (more like jog but I don't run so I say run) for two miles and biked for two. Ouch! But I did my kettlebell DVD yesterday. Ok so it's 9:00 and I syllable have 700 calories not counting workout. Do I eat? Help!

ChristmasCrystal

Hey team! I need some answers ASAP. What's our group goals? What name did we pick? If I don't get responses soon I'm just going to start making decisions.

jjbraid

Either yours or mine as far as names go. Hmm goals...Why don't we do one more sit up than the other team

mimisue23

I like "Beast Mode"

Why don't we do 50 Jumping jacks or 20 push ups or something, I need something concrete to do each day! and how about a 7 pound team total?

I weighed in this morning....i wasnt sure where we were recording all that stuff.

Beast mode it is! I really like the 50 jumping jacks idea! Let's push ourselves a little harder too and do 50 jumping jacks & 20 sit ups a day.

i agree with the jumping jacks/sit ups challenge. we could also do like total minutes excerised or miles jogged/walked/ran
