    Great job everyone. I'm going to be your team captain. So, I will cheer you on and remind you to turn in your scores on sat. You will just post them on the Gore card. I still need to do my fit test. My knees are angry with me so no running for me.

    Lousie, I'm working at an Orthopaedics office. I work for a spine doc/surgeon. He's a great boss and very caring doc. I fill in for the other docs and PAs too.

    It was me who ask Sara! I knew you were back in a Dr office, I just couldn't remember what kind. Do you love it?

    I did the squat challenge last night!!! UGH, is that version longer than normal? Or am I just that far out of shape??? lol.

    I finished the rest of my test but left my results sitting at home, I will post them later or tomorrow.

    Happy Thursday everyone!

    Ok this is my best result:

    1 Mile Run Time: 13m 23s (Walk/jog: this one doesn't run)

    Full Push Ups: 15 Half Push Ups: 6 (cause I punked out after 15)

    Number of Squats: 64

    Static Plank Time: 62s (have I mentioned how much I hate planks?)

    Sit and Reach Measurement: +4.5 inches

    Also I did the Zombie Apocalypse squat video which I might actually work into my regular routine a couple times a week since I'm not at all happy with my PFT squat result.

    I'm right on track for my weekly goals too. Let's kill it!

    I completed everything and met my goals :) I was hoping the gore card would be open as I might have difficulty making it back on tonight, but I'll try to log in before bed.

    Surely it would be acceptable for Sara to post your completion for you in the event that you can't be here?

    Ive made it on again but we'll see how long it lasts. 5 toddlers on my own this weekend (my sister is at a wedding) and good friggin lord you'd think the 3 1.5 year olds would be the challenge. NOPE! It's the 3 and 3.5 year old who will NOT get along. Struggling to not eat crap right now so badly!!

    The gore card is closed, so I'll post my weekly stats here. Did my approved alternative to the squats challenge (twice actually). My fitness test results are as follows:
    21.30 minute mile,
    +2 inches on the sit and reach,
    5 squats (my knees are crap),
    1 full pushup and 20 half pushups,
    30 second plank.
    I was also good and completed my own weekly challenges this week! As a side note, I'm down a pound from last week, so yay! Hope everyone else is doing OK. I'm ready for more walking dead tomorrow night!!!

    Well, at what point does the Gore Card actually open? It's 1915 where I am and I'm done with my diary for the day. Would like to post and get some family time rather than hanging out checking the internet for a thread to open. :(

    I can't guarantee that I'll be back on tonight. I've completed my goals and the challenge. I'll try back in a bit if I think of it.

    Everything completed.... Last minute to boot. :/ Here are my results.. Already posted in Gore Card. :)

    Fit Test Results:
    1mi walking- 17:10 :/
    Push-ups- 7 regular, 15 on knees.
    Squats- 65
    Plank- 1:07
    Sit and Reach- 0

    Squat Video- Grr! Complete tho. No weights, I weigh enough. ;)

    Stay within three goals- Yes. Had to eat maintenance for another challenge. Kinda glad my scale battery died.

    Reflecting... Paying close attention to form has lessened my numbers. Wondering if I was doing things sloppy before?. :/ As for the push-ups, doing regular push-ups is new to me. I'm pretty excited I got 7 in. Another thing that affected my results is my Dalmatian Lord Chamberlin using me as a jungle gym while attempting the fit test. Lol That will always be tho so I suppose it's accurate. ;)

    Because I I left the Gore Card accidentally locked (ooops sorry) if anyone found themselves locked out yesterday, feel free to post today and we'll still accept the results until this evening.

    Wow, you guys really rocked it!!! 15 out of 22 of you checked in saying you met your goals. That is impressive. The first week of these challenges often sees a loss of half the members. And I'll message the Missing and see if you have more coming yet!
