    Love it. The name is great. This week was challenging for me with trying to get in my normal routine as well as this challenge. Have to say sorry ladies, I went over my calories 1 day :sad: but have completed everything else. Good luck to us all and hope everyone else did well this week. Let's enjoy our day off tomorrow.

    Hey everyone! Did all the physical challenges this week and stayed under calories but didn't drink enough water. I tend to struggle with my water intake quite a bit, so I'm going to really have to push myself to drink what I need. Looking forward to seeing how everyone else did.

    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)

    Set 2 Bushman
    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)

    So I feel like I'm letting my whole team down and I'm so sorry! I went over my calories on Monday and I didn't get a chance to workout yesterday! I'm not normally like this but between overtime at my current job, and an interview for a new job tomorrow morning I haven't had time to workout! I am SO SORRY I promise to do better next week!!

    My job interview is tomorrow morning at 8 am! After that I can calm down and start focusing more on the health aspect of life, haha. Definitely trying to control what I can for now while still focusing on getting this job!!! I could really use the ego boost (career wise anyway)

    Hi Janny, welcome and glad to have you aboard.

    Ajessie, don't worry about this week you'll get on track tomorrow. Good luck with the interview.

    How are we all doing with the challenges? I personally find the bearwalk and the burpees KILLER. I can't imagine what Gary will have for us next week. :laugh:

    Welcome Janny! How has everyone been doing with the challenge? I've been following the Pygmy challenge, but have added a couple of things from the advanced challenge as well.
    Ajessie-how did the interview go?

    I agree! Those Bear Walks are killing me!!! My cats are not doing well with them either. It completely freaks them out to see me walking like a bear :)
