    ❤❤I borrowed this from a friend and I wanted to share it with my awesome team to help you through this week.❤❤ Remember: " What is perfect? I want you to go look in the mirror.......Look at the person staring back at you. What do you see? Most of us immediately see all of our flaws. Now close your eyes erase your mind and open them again. Now I want you to look again deeper then your "appearance" Look at your journey and how far you have come. Think about when you first started all of this! The mountains you had to move to come this far. All of the pain, the sweat, the tears. Look at yourself and and see what you HAVE accomplished NOT what you still have to! The person staing back at you is full of beauty on the inside and out. Dont let a day pass you by without telling yourself that you are awesome. Dont look at you flaws with ugliness, look at them as challenges that you will soon overcome no matter what it takes! You can not change your body type, you cant change your skin, you can not change the way you look. BUT you can change the way that you see yourself. So I ask you again what is perfect? And the answer is staring back at you! I am honored to know you. Not a day goes by that you dont impress me, challenge me, love me, and encourage me. I THANK YOU FOR THAT! So keep up the awesome work my friend and know that I am standing here by your side cheering you on ALWAYS!" ❤❤You guys are the most encouraging, inspirational team I've ever been on! Thank you so much for being there and know that you are loved and appreciated! ❤❤ Marie

    Hi everyone!!!

    So I took Tuesday as my rest day as my muscles were killing me from my first ever bootcamp. But today I felt much better so I got in my 100 crunches and a mixture of bushman and pygmy exercises done. Was under my cals and drank all my water and some.

    Marie and Nica I'm so glad that your children are doing much better.

    Janet - you take care aye!! Pneumonia sounds nasty. We will all be here for you when you get better but now the best thing for you is to rest:flowerforyou:

    Sherri - I really hope that foot of yours is better!

    Lori - Sorry to hear about your headache and hope you are having a better day today. I love your gift basket. Those chocolate sticks are call Pepperos (Anina is that how you spell it??). WE have a day in South Korea (named peppero day) where on the 11th of Nov (11/11) we give pepperos to everyone we know. :laugh: I'm sure it's just another reason so that everyone gets to eat chocolate :laugh:

    Anina - See you tomorrow at the pool! Time to get our swim on girl yeah!!!!!

    Have a great day everyone!!!!!

    I took yesterday as day of rest. I completed only what I had to today. I fractured my foot many yrs back and it's swollen and hurting now. I walked 10 minutes today and tomorrow I'll try more. Yesterday I couldn't even hardly walk, but it is already much better after one day of rest. Hopefully I'lll be back to running by this weekend.:flowerforyou:


    That is wonderful Sherri!!! I pray you are back to running this weekend as well!

    I have been having a real pooper of a day due to a headache but got today's stuff done just kept my regular workout short and simple. I got a wonderful surprise this afternoon when my best friend had sent me a box of goodies. The little bottle is some black raspberry wine made in Japan!

    Glad you are feeling better Sherri!

    Lori, awwww.. what a nice surprise! If anyone deserves to be showered with gifts, its you!

    Yesterday -- challenges completed, under cals, over water + mile.

    It looks like 80% of the time, I'm going to have to either text Lori (which I know she's prob sick of..lol) or post here the day after. I'm keeping up with exercising... just life is a lil busier these days. I'm usually a very active and encouraging team member. But, know that I am rooting each of you on and so proud of all of you. Even with obstacles, we've come a long way! Love and hugs to you all.

    Hello Tribe,

    Quick update: I have completed PYGMY Day 2 (week 3). I am going to have to work on the crunches:tongue: Calories under, water well over!
    Daughter is doing good. Hopefully we go home on Monday.
    Have a great night. I am running around talking to docs, nurses and trying to prepare for our transition, most of the day, so the next couple of days will be me peeking in for a few minutes.

    Went 5 miles on the elliptical today! So, we get an extra point from the Bushman series.
    I'm working on the crunches...40 Monday, 15 yesterday, 15 today...I hope to get a LOT done tomorrow (trying to stay optimistic).

    Finished Wk 3, Day 3: 10 globe jumps, 10 modified burpees, 25 toe touches, 25 squat kicks

    Already over on water and I'm on track to be under on calories.

    *sigh* *pant* Whew!

    And I was proud of myself today - I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a water. They accidentally put some delicious looking fries on my tray and it took everything in me, but I said, "I actually just ordered a sandwich," and watched them take them off of my tray and throw them away...
  • Hello Tribe!!! Before I do say anything I want to ask that everyone PLEASE update their info on the spreadsheets if they haven't lately. TY!!!!

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiJ-z3hO1RegdFR2UDNUY1NHM3NHbUhkeTF3RDRCcnc&hl=en_US

    TY for all of those wonderful updates!!! I will NEVER get tired of getting texts from you Reesa!!!!! I love them!!!!!:smooched:

    K, I got everything done today but my workout was not as intense. I did a mixture of dance and pilates since I still have a headache which is unusual for me. I'm thinking maybe it's sinus/hayfever/Missouri change of weather nonsense. :grumble:

    Sorry I've been more quiet today. My head is really not feeling good but I don't like to be a complainer so I just suck it up and move on. Maybe if I get to bed earlier tonight that will help and I will feel normal in the am. :ohwell:

    LOVE YOU TRIBE and I read everything you posted and I love you all and I'm VERY proud of you!!!! I have gotten messages from other tribes that are not bonding too great this month... so I'm pretty rootin tootin proud of us!!!!! :drinker: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:
  • Just wanted to check in. Sounds like you are all doing well.

    Nica- that is SOOO AWESOME about your daughter. I hope you get to have her come home sooner than soon!!

    Spent most of the day sleeping, so I am getting rest. Need to get rid of this cough tho and then I might be able to breathe just a bit better. Well, I'm off to take more meds and do a breathing treament. Will check in again tomorrow.

    Good night.

    BIG MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHS COMING TO YOU, YOUR GIRL AND THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY FROM THE ROK XX

    HELL YEAH! AWESOME! I hope to be wearing something like that some time soon when I go for a run! :tongue:
    Janet you take it easy. Rest is just as important as food and exercise in this journey of ours. I'm hoping something will turn for me so I don't have to take that advice but it's seeming like I'm going to have to. We'll see how the next week pans out.
    Meanwhile, LET'S KEEP GOING HARD!
  • Hey everyone!
    Cheers to a couple of power outages today for "no" apparent reason. My food preparation went belly up and I ended up ordering in Korean. My dinner just killed me despite getting rid of the rice and the slaw that came with it. Having the tartare sauce that came with it was not a good choice but kaka happens and I paid.
    Also had my flatmate buy me a chocolate bar on her way home. She'd only just got through the door and I got it off her and practically swallowed the whole thing without chewing! I tell you what right, I've gone from NEVER liking chocolate or sweets to craving it! My friends and hubby can't believe it and neither can I!

    Now I really need to get to bed - I've got to be up in 5 hours!
    Went swimming this morning! Thanks to KJ it was another successful lesson. I was able to do 7 laps using the kickboard in half an hour! WOOOOOHOOOOOO

    GYM WORKOUT:
    WARMUP: Jog on the spot, butt kicks, high knees, 10 jump jacks, 20 mountain climbers, 10 steel jacks, 10 push up jacks, 10 push jacks = 4 rounds

    200 jump jacks
    60 drop outs
    150 mountain climbers
    60 air squats
    150 high knees
    60 split squats
    40 squat thrusts
    We completed 2 rounds and I did 100 extra jj's
    FINISHER: Front prone 50 secs rest 10 either side 30 rest 10
    front prone 40, rest 10, either side 25 rest 10
    front prone 30, rest 10, either side 20 rest 10
    front prone 25, rest 10, either side 15

    50 Windshield Wipers (modified)
    50 Kick Squats
    50 Globe jumps (each jump up counts as one),
    50 Lunges (25 each leg)
    Because I did crunches as part of the challenge I did 50 bicycle crunches and 50 reversey
    waaay past my bed time but all exercises done!

    Lori darls! We know you got our back whether you're CHEERING us on loudly or being a quiet but happy observer. Know that your team also has your back so if you need to complain - GO FOR IT!! We will be here to listen to your complaints and help you through it. Whether it be through words, love or listening! DO IT! You are not on your own and sometimes you just need to get it off your chest!
    I hope you do get back to your 200% soon - the rest will help big time so don't push yourself too hard if you're not feeling right. You might do more damage! MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

    I was sick yesterday, hopping back on the wagon today. I've completed every challenge and bonus everday but yesterday. I'm really bad at posting in this forum. Mainly because the iphone app doesn't have the forums on it.

    I did make a image for me since you all had name tags.. Yours were way too girlie for me.. :-)

    Bah the forums are too narrow... here is a link..http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/iceknife/jrlol2-1-1.jpg

    LOL!!!! Thx JR and thank you Tribe for all of those wonderful posts! Tomorrow I have to drive up to Columbia, MO and back so I will be driving for nearly 6 hours tomorrow which means I won't get to be on here much except for late tomorrow evening. That being said I've asked JR to be in charge tomorrow. If you need anything you can text me or message JR. If anything goes wrong please feel free to blame it all on JR as well, lol!!!

    A day without Lori?! No! Glad you're headache is gone. I have a feeling that you're leaving us in good hands. So, safe travels!

    Challenge Wk3, Day 4 complete. Only 25 crunches today so far, so I'll add more before dinner. At this rate, I doubt I'll get in the 500 this week.

    Over on water, and will definitely be under on calories today.

    Now to rearrange our closet so that it can fit two sets of golf clubs...
  • Hi Tribe!

    Feeling better today. Looking forward to Dr. release tomorrow. Spent the afternoon in ER with daughter today. She fell at school and has a concussion. This is gonna be an expensive month for medical bills.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Behave while I am gone tomorrow Tribe!!!! I don't want to come back and find everyone binging on Krispy Kreme and Dominos. :wink: LOVE YOU!!!! :heart:
