    Hmmm...let's see if I can bust a move like Britney.......nope....... hahahahah!!!
  • Wow I'm so shocked that the challenges were relatively easy today. I was really worried after yesterday...i even considered going back to pygmy...i was so exhausted & the burpies nearly brought me to tears. I know that's the point but I was so worried about burning out especially when my thighs ache at night but I'm feeling encouraged & now I fully intend to press on...Lord give me strength! Now on to my day & I'll finish my regular workout tonite ;-)

    Fortunately, most of it was upper body!!! Don't push yourself to actual PAIN...being sore from workouts and being in pain are two different animals....protect those knees!!! I applaud your efforts to get through despite those pesky knee joints!!

    Ok...I'm going to write this before I even leave for the game because I can guarantee I MIGHT forget afterward!!

    Water....I KNOW is way over
    Exercises.....all done....every one!! I started the series of weights using an 8 lb dumbell, but the last set of each, I dropped down to 5 lb dumbells.
    Calories.....I'm gandering a guess that I'll be JUST fine there....if I'm NOT, I'll say so later, but if I don't say anything, I was just fine!! hahahha!! How's THAT for prediction??

    Great job today!! You can do your tabata whenever you'd like...I think it's optimally a warm up for a workout, but I say get it in whenever you can...just get it in!! You're doing awesome!!

    We DO have an absolutely awesome team!! You know, Randi, I've found the secret to really sticking with it is accountability...and believe it or not.....FUN!!! I'll give my friendship with Jules alot of credit here...I don't think that I would still be on here if we hadn't "hit it off" so much and have so much fun!! I actually look forward to being on this site...and when I'm here, I'm aware and accountable!!! Take advantage of all of us around you!!

    GROUP HUG!!!!!!! ;)

    You all are doing SO good!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being so invested in yourself and in our team!! Sounds like there are changes happening, whether it be something that people just can't put a finger on, Monica.....or the fact that you can push yourself into the 1,000+ calorie burn category, Fe.......or learning that you can absolutely KICK BUTT on a daily basis, Crystal.....or realizing that you CAN give it the extra "go" doing pygmy twice, Randi!! Or, look at our esteemed leader....injured, but still pushing through it...Jules, you're my hero!! Lorah, you're doing fantastic pushing through difficult times...I bow to your tenacity!! Jae....you are the picture of consistency....I always KNOW that I can count on you to do what the challenge is for the day, and you're always so cheerful!!! ;) Sarah...you kick butt ALL the time too...and it was so cool to find out today that you have a deployed love...I guess I didn't realize that...please send my "thanks" to your hero!! ;) Renu....you proved to me today that you are IN this....pushing yourself despite your knees...just be careful with that!! We KNOW you're going for it..and it will benefit you in the long run!!!

    We truly are priceless jewels!!!

    Hugs all 'round!!!!

    GOOD MORNING STUNNING JEWELS

    It look's like everyone had a great day yesterday and is pushing themselves too!! Fabulous :happy: SO PROUD :blushing:

    On a sad note - I think we can assume that we are now a team of 10 Beautiful stunning Jewels as Suse has not logged onto MFP since last week. I know that we all send her love & hugs for whatever has caused her to take a 'break' and hope she comes back soon. However, Jill and I feel it would be disrepectful to all of you and the hard work and effort you are all putting in to your health/fitness to keep Suse on our team stats because a 'MIA' = a team failure.

    So, moving on to Day 3 -

    PYGMY TRIBE - 1 minute bear walk, 100 Jumping Jacks, 50 Crunches, 25 Split Squats, 1.5 mile walk, jog,
    AND Week Two Weekly Team Challenge
    Same water and calories challenge plus Walk, Run or Jog an extra mile this week. (This is a mile above days 1, 3, 5) IF you choose you would 1 mile for daily and 1 mile for weekly on days 1,3,5. For each day you do an extra mile your team will get an additional bonus point. 1 point per day per participant)run
    OR
    BUSHMEN TRIBE (Advanced) - 5 minute bearwalk, 50 Toe Touches, 50 Crunches, 100 Jumping Jacks, 50 Burpees (they’re back), 20 Windshield Wipers, 50 Split Squats (don’t feel like you have to jump)
    AND Week Two Weekly Team Challenge
    Same water and calories challenge plus Walk, Run or Jog a 5K this week. For each day you do a 5K (3.1 miles your team will get an additional bonus point. 1 point per day per participant)

    Good luck Jewels - Let's shine the competition right out of the Jungle :wink:
