OK, here's my latest report:
Thursday: 50 minute walk with my stepmom, 150 calories; 100 reps; 8 minute stretch
Friday: 35 minute walk with dad and stepmom, 105 calories; 8 minute stretch
Saturday: 30 minutes with Leslie, 177 calories; 200 reps
I entered this on the chart, and I totaled Friday and Saturday in Friday's column. (I thought I remembered Sheri saying to do that so she wouldn't have to create columns for Saturday...am I right?!)
I'm looking forward to a new week after all my dietary and fitness indiscretions this past week!0 -
Ali & Pam,
Thanks for updating chart - I had a power cut today so was unable to log in.0 -
I just wanna go on record as saying that I'm going crazy with the lack of activity on here!

LOL! Know how you feel. 4th time I have been on here today too! We will just have to send each other silly faces Pam :grumble: :noway: :bigsmile:0 -
For any of you who might no have seen Sheri's status update, here it is:
"I am SO sorry everyone...with my mom here I have had zero time to work on this weeks challenge. First off....its like 4:30 in the morning...so I am going back to sleep but I just wanted you guys to know the challenge will run Monday - Saturday this week since I haven't been able to put up the challenge - I will get it up sometime today/tonight - Because I'm running so late though...if you have a Sunday workout you can use it towards the challenge this week as well. So if Sunday is a normal day for you...it Will Count! I'm sorry to be so far behind...I just haven't had any alone time to work on this....I appreciate your patience with me!"
Hope that explains the silence a little, but I have to admit I was pleased to have the extra day of rest. REALLY need to get back into a routine tomorrow though! I am sure she is going to hit us HARD this week though after having been so kind recently 0 -

LOL!!! We have all just walked into the quiet room and looked around and decided to return later leaving no notes! Makes me envision a movie scene. The Sharx (yeah, I like the X!) must be chomping at the bit to get rolling. We are rearing to go. Sharx never sleep, so a rest week makes us rammy and atsy. Remember not to cry when Sheri tells us some CrAzY week 9
requirements!!!

And after my Thanksgiving slips (OK, deliberate bad choices,) I ate chocolate chip cookies today... :grumble:
I *have* to get serious! :explode:
Like I said before, I just seem to be having a harder time this challenge...staying focused or something...
Aaaaannnddd, now my husband and youngest son have the cold that my oldest son had...it will be a miracle if I don't get it!

For Sunday:
workout: 60 minute yoga
HIIT: 20 minutes
stretch: 10 minutes
new reps: 200 UB
For the new reps, I did a thing on YouTube called "upper body cardio workout in bed with Laurel House." I didn't do it in bed, though! And there were a LOT more reps than that, but it felt kinda cheesy to claim several hundred reps with no weight added. (I stopped counting at 350...but I'll just say '200' since we don't have to have that many anyway.) And maybe I'll do some weighted reps of some kind another day this week...
BTW, Sharks eat a lot, right? :laugh: :ohwell:0 -
Hey Guys!
I'm so sorry I didn't make it on here yesterday with my workouts and weigh in. I didn't weigh myself and I was only able to get a 45 minute workout in on Friday. I think I'm eliminated???? I didn't see any names listed (maybe everyone assumed I dropped?). ANYWAY, I'm going to go ahead with the challenge this week. I'm sorry if I've let you guys down this week.0 -

I have no idea Samantha! I will write to ask Sheri and let you know. BUT STILL KEEP GOING WITH US - WHATEVER SHE SAYS!
And to all the rest of you: :noway: :grumble: :devil: :laugh: to that week 9!!! Not a single :sad: in there though! WE CAN DO THIS SHARKS! :bigsmile: Let's show those other teams what we are made of!
And I also laughed at the fact that I made the top 6 with just a 0.4 lb loss!! Got to love Thanksgiving! 0 -
Here is the summary for this killer week!
WORKOUT: 
:grumble: :grumble:
Part 1) 60/60/90/90 (The 90 minutes can be broken up. Must have a minimum of 20 minutes to count at all though) :noway:
Part 2) HIIT. 4 sessions of 15 minutes (Best at a different time to your other workout or on a "down" day) :huh:
Do 2.5 minutes warm up and 2. minutes cool down. Other 10 minutes to be divided into 7 lots of 60 seconds HIIT followed by 0 seconds recovery. Examples of High intensity include burpees, high knees, mountain climbers, jumping jacks, fast feet, etc.
REPS: :happy: (She has gone easy on us here! )
100 NEW reps (could be a variation on old ones, but something new to you)
STRETCHING: (Our old favourite :flowerforyou: )
5 minutes x 2 on 2 days. Can break it into 2.5 minute segments.
PERSONAL: Give up a staple for this week. Choose your least favourite rep to do as a punishment if you succomb to the temptation! :explode: :mad: :grumble: :grumble:
E.g. I know I SHOULD gibe up bread (not yet decided if I am strong enough for this!!!) If I do give it up, I will do 15 push-ups as a penance!
(Now I am going to have to think about whether I take that plunge or not! Give up bread for a week :noway: )
LET'S DO THIS SHARKS!:bigsmile:0 -
OK - I was looking for something encouraging / challenging to post for you all today and I came across this:
So I guess that all those "I really can't give up bread for a week" thoughts that I have been having since I last posted on here about 4 hours ago are LIES! I am going to try to do it :noway: Although I will have failed at lunchtime because I have made a treat the kids have been wanting for ages - it's a meal from the north of Mali called Wajula, which is basically a spicy steamed bread roll that you eat with a tomato and meat sauce. Sounds weird but is delicious. And after all the effort I have put in to make it, you can be sure I will be trying some. Sure it really does count as bread though, so 25 push-ups for me today!
So ... my staple give up for the week is bread can I will do 25 push-ups as a penance if I fail. Since I can not do 25 push-ups in one go, that will be 2 sets of push-ups (Max I can manage is 12 - 15! The latter on a "good" day!) Not looking forward to today's 25 already (especially as I had to do 25 just yesterday for another challenge I am involved in!!! :sad: ) 0 -
Hey there Sharks .... and Ali don't knock been in the top 10 with 0.4 loss ... you are rocking this challenge as always :flowerforyou:
Well I have just read the challenge ... a bit late too ... as I want to give up bread and already ate some yesterday and earlier today, so I guess I will have to do two lots of penance. My penance will be burpees .... I really HATE them, I can do approximately 7 at a time, so will get 2 lots done today for my bread issues yesterday and today.
On a positive note my workout from yesterday counts
So ....
Sunday.
#1 60 mins circuit training - 602 cals. (60/90/90 mins w/o's still to do.
#2 HIIT - not done ( 4 sessions of 15 minutes yet to do)
#3 REPS - zero (100 new reps to be done)
#4 STRETCHING: not today (5 minutes x 2 on 2 days yet to do)
#5 Giving up bread - will do at least 7 burpees if I fail (already doing 14 today as I did not read challenge until 10 mins ago :explode: )
That's all for now folks.0 -
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE.
Pam, can you just confirm your calorie burn for Sunday Yoga thanks? 0 -
Motivation for today:
It's up to me...and I *WILL* SUCCEED!!!
(I'm trying to convince *myself* !!!)
Oh, I only get 25 points for this week...I didn't get all my water on two days.
My calorie burn for Sunday is only 136...it was a by-the-pose yoga practice, not a vinyasa flow (not a great workout, but really helped with studying the foundational structure of the poses, so I can apply that to future workouts.)
Hey, I don't think y'all *have* to do your penance exercise for Sunday's eating because even though we can count Sunday's workouts, the challenge is actually running Monday-Saturday...0 -

Mary - I agree with Pam. Your workout from Sunday can count, but the challenge actually runs Monday to Saturday and wasn't up when you ate your bread on Sunday! So if you haven't yet done those burpees, you only need to get 7 in. However, if they are already done, then GOOD FOR YOU! Think how great you will become at them :happy: ... but I don't want you getting TOO much practice in this week! I need someone to accompany me on the resisting bread temptations! :bigsmile:
I got all my water in last week - so 35 points for me there. PLEASE don't forget to let us know how you all did on that so we can get those points on the chart. They are the ONLY points that count from last week. Sheri will add all the Thanksgiving bonus ones in.0 -
Yeah, Mary, I wasn't trying to discourage the extra burpees...just saying that I didn't think they were *required!*
I'm having NO starchy carbs this week...bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, my beloved granola...
And for penance, 50 jumping jacks plus man-style push-ups to failure (no idea how many I can do...it *won't* be many!) I don't plan on having to do this!
:noway:0 -
Well Sharks the time has finally come that I have to slow it down Started swelling last night and the dr suggests I start taking it a little easier I can still clean and do all that stuff but she said working out other than yoga probably isn't the best bet lol Still gonna stay on and cheer everyone on tho! Good luck this week sharks! You rock!:flowerforyou: 0

Kristin, you have earned your down time. Take a rest, so glad you are one of the sharks. You are an inspiration.
Pam & Ali, you are so right about the challenge running from Monday ... Pity I had already done the dreaded burpees :laugh:
Monday.
#1 No workout today. (60/90/90 mins w/o's still to do.
#2 HIIT - 16 mins ( 3 sessions of 15 minutes yet to do)
#3 REPS - zero (100 new reps to be done)
#4 STRETCHING: 10 mins (5 minutes x 2 on 1 days yet to do)
#5 Giving up bread - failed today because I had not read challenge in time - 7 burpees penance done for today and 7 more for yesterday :huh:
Oh and got my 35 points from last week.
SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE0 -
I have no idea what to give up! I don't really have anything and I am so not prepared to give up bread! Could I do something like limiting the amount of carbs? I don't really do sweets. The only thing I think I could cut back on is my coffee but I use that when I want to snack. Instead of eating something I'll have a cup of coffee. I'll think more on it and get back to you.
Oh and I totally messed up that water thing last week. So....yeah...only 5 points.:embarassed:0 -
I'M STILL IN!!! I checked with Sheri and so many people dropped she let me stay in (there were people who did less than me last week).....I'm so glad I'm not eliminated.
My give up for the week is ice cream (this is a familiar one if you've done the challenge with me before)....in ALL forms (milk shakes, sundaes....) I don't even think I'll be able to have frozen yogurt as it is my gateway to ice cream.....my penance is 50 mountain climbers (50 per side). I'm going to get started now, I just wanted to share my excitement with the team!0 -

I had a hard time deciding what to do too... It would be more beneficial for me if I could give up WEEKENDS!!! We eat fairly healthy as a family and loosen up a bit on the weekends, so that's when temptation is worst for me! (Unless you count vodka, which *I* wasn't willing to count!)
