    Little comments that people make in passing are usually what sticks with me. Somewhere i read just trust the numbers meaning if u put in less then you use you will lose weight. It doesn't matter what time u eat what u eat or how u eat just trust in the numbers...Math i like and understand so this is now the voice in my head when i want that ice cream..do i have the numbers or not :)
    As for recipes i try not to cook anything that needs a recipe. I just like fast and simply so if it needs a recipe i just find it on a menu and order it :)

    Agreed! When I realized that weighing and measuring, logging and calorie counting actually worked.... life became so much easier. It stopped being complicated: good/bad foods, organic/gluten free, nutrient timing, no evening carbs.... blah blah blah...it just became simple math.
  • Heather, great job doing that punishment. Yes, burpees are the worst, but great for your bod!

    Nina, you are beautiful and strong. I found your story inspirational. It's amazing how what we surround ourselves with can have such a strong mental and emotional affect on us good and bad. Let's try to surround ourselves with the good!

    And Tammy! I love math. I love ice cream. You have my attention :)

    Thanks for creating this challenge Cindy

    Woohoo!! Good job team! Did we lose anyone this week? I see that the group is down another member. Keep up the good work. Remember a little bit everyday adds up quick. I like to watch my favorite shows and lift weights during commercials. You can almost get 15/20min done per hour long show! I maybe Team DARYL, but I like what Glenn said, "we can do this, but only if we do it together." Let's kick *kitten* this week!!

    I couldn't decide between Rick & Michonne so I did 30 minutes of belly dancing (hilarious!) and 30 minutes of kickboxing. Felt good to start off with 60 minutes of cardio! Get it team!
  • I did some Bollywood Zumba! It was a blast! After my exercise yesterday at Aquatica water park, and the exercise I did today, I'll definitely be set for the week. Not that I plan to slow down at all! ^_^
  • We are definitely making progress! Let's make this week our best yet! We need to stay on target with our calories and exercise! And don't forget to choose the Rick or Michonne workout to do! ^_^

    The punishment has been decided as this: You can use last week's episode or next week's. Or do a mish/mash with one of your old favourite episodes. rkzs4ynjqybg.jpg

    I did my challenge yesterday...I tried a belly dancing video on youtube. It was fun, but I'm waiting to see how sore my core is tomorrow.
    Still need to do the punishment & I'm lagging behind in my cardio.

    I liked Rick & Michonne's points so I did belly dancing for M and kickboxing for R. Super fun week!

    I have another 90 minute yoga workshop tomorrow, so I'll add on strength.

    60 cardio
    30 strength
    Really sorry guys I won't reach target this week. Been floored with a horrendous cold from the mr. I don't know if numbers so far will count but I thought I'd post them anyway. I'm also shelving this weeks challenge & will do it when I'm upto scratch. My goal weight is 150.
    I'm not comfortable in my skin so for every 13lb loss I gave myself a reward in the form of exercise. My end goal is hourse riding, & I'd like to do a strip class & go swimming in a two piece.
    So sorry to let folks down :(
    But wanted to elaborate on this weeks challenge as I'm sure other people might want to do the same for future goals xxx

    Everyone is either a beginner, intermediate or advanced. Those are your teammates. Plus there are additional challenges based on the character you chose. The other Carol's and Daryl's or whoever aren't really your teammates, unless there's a challenge that week where you need to interact with them.
  • So we didn't do so great this past week. Which stinks. But that just means this week we will be awesome! Everyone let's make sure to stay on target and get everything done. And everyone needs to remember to post their results by midnight on the official scoreboard page on Saturdays! If you need to be excused for the week let the folks in charge know! Good luck everyone! We've got this! ^_^

    Punishment decided. 100 lunges (50 per leg) with arm curls, broken up into small sets of 10 if you like. Here's an instructional video featuring a hot guy if needed. Learn the Dumbbell Lunge and Bicep Curl Combo with Ibrahim Daramy and Ia...: http://youtu.be/aCd66qFgGUc
