    Well, bummer folks. I may not be able to complete this challenge, I learned I need to have surgery. We'll see when it gets scheduled :(

    If you dont mind me asking - what is the surgery for? I hope its nothing toooooo serious.

    Thanks for the well wishes! I need to have a hysterectomy. I had endometrial ablation a few years ago and now have developed scar tissue that isn't allowing me to completely empty during each cycle (yuk! and sorry to be so graphic!). Surgery scheduled for 4/8, and I'll be down and out for about 4 weeks. Hoping as soon as I get back on track and can find another great challenge. I literally have done better these last six weeks than with any other 'diet' plan I've ever been on. Kinda sux that I'm getting derailed :(

    And to make things worse, in 2 weeks, I've got a business trip, which means hotel food for 5 days; but at least there's a fitness center on-site and I can still get some exercise in before I go under the knife.

    On another note - those Spartan Bows are tough, but I'm liking them. Am I the only one that has to brace myself on something to keep from falling over?

    Totals have been sent - no turning back now.

    One member failed to report in, so the other team automatically wins the right to represent Team Beth in this weeks challenge.

    Maphammonds and Kmoiregreen are the winners with a score of 2.5. It was a really close choice but Kmoiregreen will be MVP, just because M wasn't able to maintain nutrition numbers this week. But you both did awesome!!!!

    Special shout out to Gambrell who was really close to getting 400 cardio this week!!.

    Congratulations everyone!!

    Leader board has been updated here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1195194-weekly-leaderboard-and-most-valuable-players
    Glenn and Maggie will be choosing the punishment this week. What's nice is there has been a different winner every week so far. Congrats to all the MVPs and have a great week everyone. Hoping to see some reunions in the next few episodes.

    Congratulations, kmoiregreen on MVP! And maphammonds I hope all goes well with the surgery!

    And congratulations, Gambrell on meeting your goal!! That's so exciting!

    Also, question about the challenge. Do 60 minutes of our strength have to be combat training or 60 of our cardio or either?

    60 min of your strength has to be combat training.

    I have been slammed at work this week, and I just realized I'm supposed to go camping Friday and Saturday, so I won't have those days to catch up in my numbers. Would it be okay if I bowed out this week? I don't want to bring the team down. :frown:

    Good Morning!

    It has been quiet in here! I was MIA a day or two visiting my daughter. Been feeling worn out lately! I took in a bit more carbs yesterday hoping that might help. Has anyone heard from MarieAmethyst lately? It is not like her to disappear!!! Where are you???

    So far one of my days I went over in calories, and one day I didn't go over but it was pretty much a no nutrition, liquid calories day...so I won't meet my nutritional goals this week. I am planning on meeting the exercise goals though. I am still having neck problems, so I continue to work my legs really hard, but not so much on upper extremeties. I do have a MD appointment tomorrow and I am hoping they give me a medrol dose pack to get the nerve inflammation down finally!

    How is everyone else doing? Tiffy...lucky you on the camping trip! I love camping, but haven't been in quite some time! Have tons of fun!

    A highlight I forgot to mention, when I visited my daughter....she thought I looked much slimmer! Yay! funny that my jeans aren't really fitting any better yet though:grumble:

    Go Team Beth!

    You dont think those two days of camping will get your cardio in? Or is it the strength training you think you wont reach your minimum. You have a great team that would probably be willing to cover you if you asked them to.

    My team covered me last week. I was just to blaaah to get all of my totals.


    Kmoiregreen - Isnt it great when others notice what you dont?!! Thats exciting. :bigsmile: Good luck at the DR, hopefully you will get great results.

    Hey Tiff - I'll have at least 45 minutes of Cardio and 30 minutes of strength to spare if that's helpful to you. (PS - I'd totally be counting that 'setting up camp' as strength minutes - that's a lot of work! :wink: )

    Congrats Kimoire on the compliment from your daughter - TJ's right - it's great with others notice what you're not seeing!! Hoping they get your pain under control with that patch!

    Good Morning!

    As of right now I have an extra 158 minutes of cardio I can donate if anyone needs it. Unfortunately I am right at 90 minutes of strength now...if I am able to do some resistance bands or something here at work, i will add to it for someone!

    Saw the MD yesterday. She put me on a 15 day stent of prednisone. So...I am hoping this helps with my neck problem...and hoping I don't gain too much weight on it! Bad timing, as my goal for this challenge was to weight under the 160's. The doctor weighed me at 163.8 yesterday, so I am hoping to make it...

    Has anyone seen any signs of spring yet? It was warmer here in TN yesterday, but kinda windy. All the dogwoods are blooming and daffodills are popping up! I love to see all the new life and colors..:flowerforyou:
