TJ - how are you?
Funky - I don't usually count my cleaning, but I think it is okay.
Peachy honey - how are you?
Funky - I count cleaning simply because it gets my heartrate up, and sometimes I have muscle soreness the next day from bending and stretching in ways I don't normally do. It also requires alot of walking I wouldn't normally do. This weekend I am organizing a friends house and getting stuff ready for a garage sale - totally counting most of what I will be doing. Spring cleaning is a great time to get some extra cardio in while making your house seem fresh and new again.0 -
I want to throw this out to everyone I know we are not at the end of our week just the middle but I want to nominate SaraAlexandre for MVP for next week because she has done so much for our team by posting our new challenges for each week, doing the totals to send in and I have seen some weeks she has hit over 700 in cardio :flowerforyou: She is a great leader to us.
i 100% agree!!0 -
Coruscate- I totally think you can rock the week in 4 days! Plus we will always back you up if you fall a bit shy!
Sara- ANOTHER TWD CHALLENGE?!?!?! Sign me up!!
Thank you! THANK YOU AALLLL for pushing me for next week already and helping me out if i cant make it!
and YES YES YES to another challenge!!! i was JUST telling someone last night how awesome this challenge is because its all workout/min based. it is really really nice to not have to stress about a weigh in.
so if someone is starting another one.. count me in!0 -
I am desperately trying to find time to get my workouts in. We haven't been doing all the outdoor stuff I'd thought we would. So, this morning, my kids were begnning me to read another chapter of Harry Potter to them. So, while they ate breakfast, I propped my iPad on the island in the kitchen and marched, moved, leg-lifted, toe-pointed and walked in place for FIFTY minutes while I read aloud to them. Anything to get my cardio time in!!
this is impressive! WAY TO GO! love the creativity!0 -
Mid-week check in
250 Cardio, 65 strength. No punishment done yet and no combat training. I will work on those tonight.0 -
Hello everyone, well I'm having a much better day, I did some cleaning and went thought my closet and got rid of all my old clothes or ones that are to big on me a lot of jeans one pair I didn't even take tags off of lol but I feel good about this. in a bit I am going to do some walking and zumba tonight, my goal is to get 10-15K in steps tonight.

Congrats on the closet clean out and getting rid of your old clothes. I did that as well and I remember how I felt, I felt exhilarated!!! This is a huge step in your journey and you should be very proud of yourself. I see Lara and Coruscate are also cleaning out closets.(I agree that it is most definitely extra cardio cause it's not an every day thing. A fit bit would agree) This must be spring cleaning time! First day of spring today and I know it makes me very happy!!!
Thanks so much for mentioning to nominate me for MVP and Kim is right, I would never nominate myself! LOL! It feels really good to be appreciated and I thank you guys for that. I'm exempting myself because I'm the captain and I get enough inspiration from all of you anyway! This team ROCKS and I'm not exaggerating. I have captained and been a part of many challenges and this has been the most dedicated and determined team I have ever been on. You all should be very proud of that and hold it as a huge honor. I would be more than happy to captain you all again because you push me to do my best! Cindy, TJ and I are on board for next seasons WD.
It looks like Coruscate, Bebubble and Hajenkatt may need some extra numbers this week and I'm sure this team can carry you. Do your best and make sure to check in with me early if your out of town. I can count you if you have any kind of check in on the board for the week. Just try and average your food goals and that's the only one I'm not certain of if you fail to check with me. If you honestly think you will be ok with your average then you will get a 3.
I still need to do my punishment too TJ! I think a mini challenge is in order for the next few days. Instead of 3 60 min planks, we do 10. You in?0 -

Um, folks, can I count Sunday for food and omit today? I kinda had a big food failure today. We were celebrating and I lost my common sense. Bad kawookie! Normally I am pretty good about eating within my calories but not today.
On the bright side, I am pushing 7 miles walked on the day :drinker: and dinner was fantastic. I came home and did 60 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of strength. I have one plank done, but my overfull tummy is not impressed with any of the core exercise I did tonight. :laugh:0 -

I agree with the other girls and fitnessblender has a few kickboxing ones. There is a Jillian Michaels one too on you tube. You can just squat and throw punches for an hour. LOL!
Kim, you can trade a day for sure with food. Just need 6 day average. We have only 2 days left to get in our numbers. I hope everyone is doing great. Have a great friday!0 -
Please forgive me team! I have let packing and preping for my trip take over my nights and its been keeping me up FAR too late, which makes my AM workouts really hard, and, basically, nill.
I am short on everything right now (except the 'official planks') I need to get in the 60 of combat, which i can spread between cardio and strength, and that will give my my minimums. If you think i can get away with squat punching kicking for an hour... ill see what i can to between today and tomorrow. might be a good little workout when i take little potty breaks.
Sara... if by some messed up chance you dont hear from me tomorrow these will be my totals.... but i will do everything i can to get in that last hour!!!
