Hi Kate! You're doing GREAT this week!
Just 2 things on this Monday post:
1) Sorry, but I can't count those 11 jumping jacks. It needs to be a minimum of 25 to count towards reps :-( But keep going and you will get there!!!
2) For the bad/good habits - no points each day. You just have to record if you did it or not. The points ONLY come in to play if you completed what you said you would do (ie every day or 5 out of 7 - whatever you specified as your goal). If you manage that the whole week, you get 25 points at the end of the week. If you fail to complete FULLY then you lose 10 points.
Hope that is clear. If not, say and I'll try to explain again!
KEEP CHOMPING!0 -
Do you know I think the wolverines and Dolphins are in my sights for a bit of smack chat ... they certainly seem to have a healthy fear of the sharks. :laugh:
Streteches:
Ali, you were asking for a few ideas on some stretching, here are a few links that you might find useful.

Anything to record for Sunday Kristie? Some people got confused since the points challenge didn't start until Monday, but the workouts/reps/flexibility part runs from Sunday to Friday as normal. You might just have taken a rest day (which is great!) but in case you didn't mention Sunday thinking it doesn't count, I thought I'd ask. Let me know and I'll add 0 or other information to the chart. THANKS!0 -

QUESTION - do my Sunday calories count towards this week's total?
SUNDAY WEEK 2:
workout 60 minutes walking
218 calories
flexibility: 10 min
reps: 100 crunches
MONDAY WEEK 2:
I was traveling, so I did not work out, stretch or do reps today - too bad Sunday's workout doesn't count!!!
...
I would like to change my habit to "limit sweet treats to TWO days a week" (instead of ONE), but I have already blown it this week - OOOPS!
GO SHARKS - have a FINTASTIC WEEK 2!
Hi Melisa!
Sunday DID count for the challenge - just not for the points part! The workouts/reps/flexibility part that Sheri posts each week as the "Challenge" will always run from Sunday until Friday 10am. However, the points part (water, sodium, good and bad habits, team communication, smack talk and other exercise points) runs from Monday to Sunday each week - and this part will remain the same throughout the challenge.
So your Sunday counted and I noted it on the chart. Your Monday off was deserved. :bigsmile:
And your habit has been changed - better luck with that next week :flowerforyou:0 -
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Glad you are working on your language skills Donna!
No baseball on TV here (not much of anything exciting on Malian TV really!!!) but I could put a DVD on I guess. Thanks for the idea! Off to check the websites Mary suggested now, as I have to admit that I find all this stretching very boring (although I know it is necessary!)
Loving the idea of your spotless kitchen! Not sure I've ever had one of those in any house I've ever lived in :laugh:0 -
MONDAY!
#1 WORKOUT – 72 minutes walking to/from/around at lunch @ work for 188 cals (45 and 30 w/o to go!). 964/1480 calories for the week
Hi Kate,
I just wanted to check your postings (quoted here was Monday, but you wrote something similar on Tuesday). Do you mean you walked to and from work and around at lunchtime, and the total minutes were 72? If so, that can't count as your 60 minute workout since it HAS to be consecutively. You can still count 72 minutes and the calories burned in the days workout, but you have to have done at least 30 minutes in one go to count as your workout for the challenge.
Let me know how much you did IN ONE GO.
Thanks!0 -
And my encouragement for today:
"You aren't going to get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have!"
Just a little bit of extra motivation there, to make sure you all get your workouts in :bigsmile:

Sorry, guys...spotty Internet service is driving me crazy! I am managing to keep up with the challenge requirements and getting in some good walks/ hikes, but I'm also eating camp food including s'mores! We are changing locations tomorrow, so hopefully I will be somewhere with better reception so that I can get all my stuff reported.
I scanned through the posts, and it looks like you are all doing so good...let's keep at it!
Again, I am sorry to be so distant this week...I'm trying to hang in there and be back to full SHARKDOM in a few more days!
