    Guys i have really limited, phone based internet. can't access spreadsheet etc. if anyone is on let's list and wants to let him know our stats for Friday and Saturday, that's cool. if not i'll sort tonight when i get back. i didn't enter k2 yet from Friday, and haven't put in Saturday at all.

    Only managed a walk yesterday but should be able to do more today.

    OK, I've just reported Friday and Saturday's burns to Lee. He'd already updated the map, so those burns aren't reflected. Despite that, we're in 6th, so we'll leap forward when those are registered. And for today's burn, I'm just waiting on one or two more people. I think some of the UK based teams will have already posted for today, so I reckon with those in, we'll move even further up.

    I really hope that my leg is well enough for me to run in the morning! I'm getting proper fed up with not being able to.

    Cynthia, that sounds like one hell of a busy time! Try to have as much fun as you can... !

    Hi peeps,
    I've made today my rest day as I couldnt get to the gym for a few reasons.
    But rest assured, I'm going to steam it for the week ahead.

    Keep it up, my hard rockin' amigos!

    OK, so for our first week,

    25899 cals
    6474.75 miles


    This puts us back up in either 1st or 2nd place, by my reckoning, but I guess we'll see once Lee updates with our new figures.

    woop woop...snow was good for something today, 3hr walk with bf = nice burn.

    hope you all had a lovely weekend, personally i can't wait to get my bum into the gym tomorrow for a nice big burn (coz i doubt the snow if going to shift for me to go running...)

    We're back into 2nd! Let's burn baby burn and get back to number 1! :-)

    I reckon if we can all put in a significant burn today, we'll move back into first.

    We're slowly climbing back to our rightful number one spot. A day or two of consistent good burns from everyone will sort us. . .

    Uh oh, we're back in 4th, and I don't even know any of the fools who have dared to get in front of us...who are these people, and don't they know who we are???

    I will be getting another strong burn this afternoon, but tomorrow will be much less. Then I'll be back at it again on Thursday. Let'd do this team! We should be able to pass them all before we get around Cape Coast.

    decided to brave the cold and cycle the 20mins to zumba tonight instead of driving to help with the numbers...wish me luck! (also will report back later with numbers)

    I've only had time to walk today, and I need to finish something for work tonight, but if I do get the time I'll put in another bit of time on the wii. x

    I really have had a sucky few days, and my burns haven't been great. Come hell or high water, I'm going to gym tomorrow, and hopefully all will be better!

    *rows faster* *rows harder* Jeepers this water is frickin cold... Maybe I should just tow us with a swim ;) LOL :D

    LOL!

    I'm achey and tired now...but cycled to and from uni, AND to and from zumba so a big 954 for me today.

    This is definitely the motivation I need. Going to take my gym stuff with me tomorrow to a full day of uni, and get in a workout before coming home. Unless I have a horrific day and then the hour of cycling will have to do.

    Keep rowing guys!

    Sorry Jane, just synced my GPS HRM and i'd underestimated my cycle to and from zumba...so updated the spreadsheet, my burn was apparently actually 1148...

    might have to wear my hrm tomorrow to cycle and see the bf and see if i've been underestimating those cycle rides too!?
  • meerkat70
    meerkat70 Posts: 4,605 Member
    Penny, I wouldn't worry too much - 30 or 40 calories is not going to make a big difference. But it was the 1148 burn that was included in today's report to Lee, so all sorted. And we're still winning! :-)

    Sorry, I misread!

    If you find there are other discrepancies, we could add them into tomorrow's burn for you - just add them in before you report it?

    it's ok, i'll assume that everything so far is fine, but i'm certainly taking my hrm cycling with me a few times so i get a better idea of my burns on it. i've just been using mfp estimates for it as i don't wear it to/from uni/shops/ wherever and i cycle everywhere...so now it will be strapped on and calculating for a few different types of journey to see what i actually burn!

    How're we getting on today, victorious valhallians?

    I see Penny's almost hit her 1000 cals today! (Amazing stuff Penny.) And Cynthia's over 2000. We're doing an amazing job here.

    Guys, could I ask a little favour? If you're taking a particular day as a rest day, could you possibly post that to the thread? It just saves me the time of checking profiles for burns, if they're not coming in, and makes it possible for me to report in to Lee that bit faster.

    I have big plans today. I'm in my running gear already. Going to work for an hour or two. have a run. then work for an hour or two, and meet my dad at the gym. So I should have over a thousand today, all being well, and assuming my run doesn't mess my shins up again! :-)

    Wahooo go you!

    I'm going to have a bit of a quieter day burn-wise today. I'll do 30DS in a bit, and then I have lots of packing to get done because I get my new house tomorrow! WOOOO, literally cannot wait to be free of my current landlord...

    Infact it'll probably be a fairly quiet weekend burn-wise with my dad and bf helping me to move across the road. I'll try and get some cycling or something in at some point but I don't know how accurate wearing HRM for actual packing and carrying heavy boxes across the road will be?

    I think Craig wore an HRM last time round when he moved, and that worked out pretty well. Maybe have a go and see how you do? It's a lot of heavy lifting, and it's hard physical work. I don't count every day stuff, myself, but I probably would 'count' moving house. You need to make sure you're eating well enough to offset such sustained physical activity.

    Sorry I've slacked off due to the cold! I'm not eating right and not motivated to train. I've upped my cals to deal with that and I plan burnage!
    I added my walk from yesterday to the spreadsheet. Call me tesco, every little helps.
    I'll try the gym tonight and get back on it!

    It's hard isn't it? For me, eating right and exercising are intrinsically linked, and I find it really hard to do the one without the other.

    Sorry. The bf currently has Wednesday's off, so if I don't get a burn first thing in the morning before work then I don't get one at all. If they change his day before we're done, I'll let you know.

    For the record: I WILL be getting a burn today!! Sodium and TOM have me up 5lbs since Sunday, and that is NOT acceptable.
