Well as much as I hate to, I will be using the rest day today. I didn't sleep much last night and I made a trip to the grocery store. (It takes a little longer when you coupon, but worth the savings.) Plus the kids brought home enough paper and information to make up for the weekend break. I'm under calories and have met my water.

I'm adding the extra crunches this week for the bonus and I don't know if they count but I did 5 miles yesterday and 3.1 today. Well, if they don't count for points, they count for ME!!

Good Night :-)

Hi Everyone!!!!

Just couildn't find the energy to attempt bushmen again today. So for 9/20:

Pygmy - done
water - over
calories - under

I ran 4 miles today but had some pain in my hamstring so didn't attempt mile 5. My hamstring is still a bit painful so I'm going to roll on my foam roller (anyone else done this?). My trainer introduced me to the foam roller It emulates a sports massage and helps to loosen up tight muscles. The foam roller has become my best friend. I'm hoping I can work thru the pain tomorrow as no rest days for me.

Good Night!!!

Exercise- dooone
Calories- under
water-met

Bushmen strength training done, but I had started out my workout with a jog/walk (making it in 13 mins) so tabata just didn't make the cut. This was after helping haul an entertainment center up a flight of stairs into my apartment.

Calories & water good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MERRI - I've not heard of a foam roller but will be researching now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EVERYONE - Thanks for your updates and sticking with it these last 2 wks. :flowerforyou:

RubyRed1999

I met my water and under calories but just spent a wonderful day with the hubby :happy: so I will be doing a make up day tomorrow for today. I also just want to say Thank You to everyone who has been posting such nice comments on my post. :flowerforyou: It means a lot to receive comments from others who are on the same journey.

KARRIE - yes, I use a straw most of the time. On work days, I typically have my 30oz cup with a straw poking out of the opening right beside me, finish it off by end of work day & refill for the drive home & evening hours.

MIRANDA - good to see you back. Thanks for your report.

Good night all.

Hello everyone,

Kiersten (KierstyPants) will be taking a break for the remainder of the challenge due to health issues. If you're the praying type, please pray for Kiersten as she gets through a difficult time.

fitnhealthyccthatsme

TNT Crew, I'll be unavailable & a non participant tonight due to my Wed nite schedule. I'll try to log in before bedtime, but it's gonna be a busy night and I can't make any promises. I'll get caught up on challenge exercises later in the week.

reammi

Hi:

Hamstring is feeling better but didn't want to push it tonight so once again I did not attempt bushmen. Hopefully I will feel strong enough to try it tomorrow. For 9/21:

Pygmy - done
water - over
calories - under

Kiersten - my thoughts and prayers are with you. Get well soon

Have a good night!!

Merri

Thanks for the Kroger tip. I've only been able to find long straws at the smoothie place.

It seems I pulled something in my neck and I'm going to blame it on last night's push ups. It woke me up during the night last night. I'll be taking a pain reliever if it gets too bad.

I knew I wouldn't have time for exercise with work, commute, cooking, & church and no energy after all of that.

Calories & water good.

I'll have to make up today's challenge exercise tomorrow night.

RubyRed1999

I did today's bushmen, tabata, under calories and met my water. I also did another tabata and bushmen to make up for missing yesterday. Doing 2 days back to back is a real workout.

x_sotonguetied

i am so sorry, team!!! i feel like such a let down! with this week being a CRAZY busy week for me, and coming down with a cold the last 2 days i have just been completely worn out and definitely slacking

however! this little 48 hour cold i seem to have feels like it's well on it's way out of my body, and i've gotten a LOT more caught up on my school work, so i'm definitely feeling good about powering through the rest of the week!

monday 9/19:
calories: under
water: over
no challenge done

tuesday 9/20:

I did the same thing last week! I wasn't sure if it was the push-ups or crunches that did it for me but OUCHIE!

reammi

Hi,

I'm very proud of myself today. I had been fearful of running on the treadmill but today I conquered that fear. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill without falling as it was very foggy and dark at work this morning and I didn't think it would be safe to run outdoors. I also finally was able to garner the strength to do the bushmen workout. So, for today 9/22:

bushmen and tabata - done
calories - under
water - over

I am so grateful that tomorrow is Friday - it has been a LONG week.

Good night!!

Merri

Water & calories okay, though I'd like to be less hungry during certain times of the month.

Did strength training & a little of the calisthenics, but not completely caught up. I'm hoping for at least one high energy day this weekend. Maybe I can get all caught up Saturday.

I feel like the little train and needing to repeat to myself, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..... "

**** DEAR TNT CREW **** putting aside my whiny moment, I want for each of you to know I'm thrilled you are sticking it out and making great changes for yourselves by pushing through and challenging your bodies :bigsmile:
