I'm still here, hon! I stayed w/in my points yesterday but I didn't get the workout in Today I'm on track to stick it all.

Well that is good you stayed under. I was under yesterday and the day before and I am hoping to be under again today :-)

Ladies I will log your info for your team until your captain comes back OR until the end of the month. If you can provide me with the needed info asap would be great. I need weights from everyone. Plus can you tell me if you did the workout for this week and what days you stayed under your calories.

lunamare

I sent a message. Last week was good except for Friday and Saturday. Trying to baby this cold with the holiday coming up. Being sick while I'm in Vermont with family does not sound fun.

Weekly Challenge Starting 11/21 --- FRUITS AN VEGGIES!!
We are suppose to get 5 Fruits and Veggies a day. You can earn 1 point per 5 F/ V that your team consumes. This is for a FULL serving not a partial serving. When you report back to your captain how many fruits and veggies you had you must also list what you had. EX: 3 consumed by 1 banana, 1 apple and 1 cup of green beans. --- Captains please enter in the total number earned and the sheet will figure out the math for you.

Monday 11/21 - Total Body
3 sets with 12-20 reps depending on ability level (30-60 sec rest). We are doing this as a circut workout so you will do 1 complete set of the 8 workouts before you start the 2nd set. This is designed to work your entire body and have max burn in a short time. You can determine what your ability level is on how many reps you will be doing of each exercise.

- Jump Rope for 1 minute for starters and 2 min for advance (if you don't have a jump rope air jump like you have one)
- Crunchs

Keep up the good work ladies. This week the weekly challenge is based off veggie and fruit intake. Please tell me each day how many full serving you have and what they are. Ex today I ate three fruits and one veggie. I had two bananas, one peach and celery.

lunamare

For Monday, I had 3 clementines, 3/4 cup of cooked carrots, 1.5 cups of cooked potatos (do you count them?) I don't think that pizza sauce and 100% blueberry juice count as fruits even if the usda says they do.

Struggling with this cold that is kicking my behind, but trying to stay on track.

If you had 6 oz of juice it counts. I hope you feel better soon. I know that you have been struggling with it the last few days. I am going to count potatoes because well why not LOL

lunamare

Thanks! It was 8oz of Ocean Spray 100% juice. Since I was so miserable I figured it was good for me. I'm thanking god for Clementines this week. I've already had two today on top of a cup of blueberries with my yogurt. Now if this cold could just vacate my body!

bmfrazie

Great work! Feeling any better today?

Hope you ladies are still hanging around after Thanksgiving. Seems like everyone has been silent the last few days. We only have three days left to this challenge and then IF you are wanting to carry on into the December challenge let me know and I will find you a new team.

Monday 11/28 --- LAST MONDAY CHALLENGE!
Start with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfuU3TSsFM

75 crunches/sit ups
35 righ oblique crunches
35 left oblique crunches

This will be our last ditch effort for an ab workout in November....let's kick some post Thanksgiving butt!
---- Tuesday will be a Daily Team Challenge----

bmfrazie

I am trying to fill out the spreadsheet for you guys. Can you please let me know your current weight AND your info for the week?

bmfrazie

I have decided to merge two teams into one since both teams only have two people left. This will still put you guys as being short one person but it is the best I can do for the end of the challenge. Your team will be merged with the Vivacious Vixens because they have 10 more points. I have attached the link to their page so you guys can report there and have other team members to talk with for the last few days. I am sorry that this is the way your month ended but it is the best I can do. I will still be the team captain for the last three days. Good luck!

Thank you, hon! I was ridiculously sick last week Today I've already completed the workout and I'm keeping track of my food. This week will be better. I had no scale last week in Vermont (yes, I was sick and in the woods at our cabin) but when I got home yesterday the scale hadn't moved. I guess that's better than gaining.
