Good evening all you wonderful and amazing ladies!!
Wrap up from week one: I have had a couple of people NOT report in. If I don't have everyone report their weekly progress by tomorrow morning, I will be dropping them from the list. I do my best to keep up with everyone, however if I have not been told that they will be away/out of touch, I can only assume they are not truly interested in being a part of this team.
I am getting to know each of you better and better, and I am just totally stunned and amazed and blessed by each of you.
Knee Update: I got my meds and I'm feeling GREAT!! Not "let's go take a jog" great, but the swelling is down and the pain is also tolerable! I am going to push through. I have used so many excuses in the past to get out of exercising that I'm kind of sick of accepting bad behavior from myself.
Here are the challenges for week 2!! Let's get this party started!!!
Welcome to Week 2 you are the PYGYMY TRIBE it’s time to push yourself! Make modifications as
necessary and use water bottles, soup cans or my favorite Tomato Juice cans as weights! They really do work!
Day 1 - 1 minute bear walk, 100 Jumping Jacks, 50 Crunches, 25 Split Squats, 1.5 mile walk, jog, run
Day 2 – 2 sets of 15 swimmer presses, 2 sets of 15 wood chops, 2 sets of 21’s, 2 sets of 15 lawnmowers

Sorry I got my e-mail to you so late today >.< Sort of slept in...Very unusual for me to do on a Monday haha
This week looks good. Might have problems with the bear walks though. Not literally, but my dog thinks something is wrong when I start doing it...Its a 180 lb Mastiff, so he knocks me over hahaha I'll see how long the pup allows me to do it for.0 -

My lab Mindy is only 70 lbs, but she thinks I'm playing a game with her when I do it! It definitely adds a different degree of difficulty!0 -

Week 2 - Day 1
I have completed the bushman challenge. I am already sore and my back is BARKING at me (I think its the bear walk). All the soreness, minus my back, feels great though! I wanted to stop half way through. Instead of stopping, I said stopping now in the end only hurts me and is going to affect my team. Thinking about my results (which led to me disrobing my shirt so I could see WHY I'm doing all this in the first place) and my team helped me push through!!
I will be a little under my calories today. I just wasn't hungry (and slept in) this morning. I had a HUGE dinner, but I just burned too many calories today. I didn't expect the nearly 300 calories I burned doing the challenge exercises!
My water is also on point today. I've honestly probably had even more. Its hard for me to track water, as I drink so much of it without thinking twice. If there is one thing I'm good at, its drinking water without having to force it. I love me some water.
How is everybody else doing today? How did you feel about the challenges?0 -
Summer sent me a PM earlier that got me to thinking:
WHY don't I provide each of you an easier way to help me keep track of this???!?!
SO! I created a Google Doc!! I am going to allow each of you to access it so that you can keep us all updated individually!
I will have to admit, with as much information as I have had flowing into my PM box, I have not done the greatest job of keeping up with the spreadsheet. For that I sincerely apologize.
PLEASE PM me with your e-mail address so I can share the Google Doc with you! There are three tabs:
Daily Team Challenge - I will put what each week's challenge is as it is provided from Gary!
Daily Exercise Challenge - Not much explanation is necessary, I don't think. Gary has set up a blog to help us all keep track better: http://mfpchallenges.blogspot.com/
Weekly Weight Totals - Again, obvious. There are several in there that I know have been sent to me, but I haven't gotten them entered.
Again, please PM me and I will add you to the list so you can access it and make appropriate changes!
Thank you all for understanding, and, again, I apologize if you sent me information that I did not get into the spreadsheet!
