    Beth was amazing last night.
    I think she may not have the great strength like Daryl or michonne. But like she says she has "hope" and I think that is was keeps her determined and she will find a way out.

    Beth is sort of the most well-rounded of the group, if you consider that she has learned a lot about sheer survival from Daryl, and despite seeing all the things her father went through--losing a leg, caring for sick Woodbury residents, and ultimately being killed by the Governor--plus losing her boyfriend, she maintains her strength and her faith and does not withdraw emotionally. It's nice to see her on her own; we have always seen her interacting with the other group members and she responds in ways that we are accustomed to from those developed relationships. But when she's on her own, we see that she can be a bit ruthless (Gorman) and has learned to put herself first (stealing the sucker), but she can also appreciate the symbolism of the painting in the doctor's office and the hope it represents.

    Working on the Beth challenge. Got the Mountain Climber (3x) done; will do a repeat of the FB boot camp on Friday. For #3, I'll share that I underestimated my strength. I did this challenge in part two of last season, also at beginner level. Then I was sidelined this summer for a hysterectomy. As soon as I was cleared, I started back on the elliptical machine, but hadn't touched any strength exercises at all. So I didn't want to hold my team back if I couldn't hang with the strength challenges at the intermediate level, and decided to go with beginner level again. So far, I'm doing waaay better than I expected! I'm clearing the intermediate minimums and last week even cleared the advanced minimums. Not to bad for a 45 year old grandma, if I do say so myself! Not seeing any change in my weight (or my middle), but my guns are looking pretty good :)

    Good job @maphammonds!!

    I *did NOT* underestimate myself. I went from running several times a week for the last 2 years to absolutely no physical activity beginning in May (due to switching jobs, moving to a new town--no gym membership anymore, and a PTT injury). I knew finding the time to start back up was going to be difficult, and I was absolutely right. This week is definitely a failure for me, but I guess the thing I can take away from this is that I WANT to work out! I want to start running again! I just have to find a way to fit it all into my life now, and that has been the hardest part.

    So far, this week:
    Cardio: 44/100
    Strength: 0/100
    Calories: Yep
    Character Challenge: Nope
    Punishment: Nope

    NSV - did the FB boot camp today (same one we did in week 1). I remember feeling totally wiped afterwards four weeks ago, but today, while still definately challenging, I didn't feel near as exhausted and even did the planksgiving challenge afterwards :)
