    endgültige zerstörung = final destruction
    just my opinion, but that name is almost calling for an attack. ROFL it's like naming you ship Titanic. bwahahahahaha!

    Yeah, that one is further out in front of us. Probably a good choice. Right now, their lowest burn is about 300 cals. That would be an additional 1500 four our team. What do you girls say?? Should I go get em!??

    Good evening Chickadees!

    I hope you've all recovered from our drunken debauchery last night....I was pretty wrecked. *giggles*

    I successfully attacked Final Destination or whatever the heck their name is. (Yes, I know it's final destruction...I was trying to be funny...... No? :tongue: Whatev) I have yet to hear what their lowest burn is.

    As I went to post in their thread to announce our attack, I saw that the team THEy attacked (Team WTF) had a low burn of 26 calories! Yes, you read that right. 2-6. Man, I hope that's not what we have in store! Although, I guess an extra 100 calories would be alright. But certainly an extra 1500 would be even better!!!

    I will let you ladies know our final total in the morning when I hear back from the captain.

    I'm a bit sad to hear that we'll be missing some ladies over the weekend! I hope you all have lots of fun!!!! We have triple miles day on Saturday again, so let's make sure those of us that are here do a good burn. I have a party that night, and need to do some cooking in the morning, but I'm hoping to spend the majority of the rest of my time busting my behind! Gym & pool again.

    I hope you're all still enjoying your time on this boat with me. Some of us have slowed down a bit, and that's okay. I understand that life gets in the way and we get discouraged for one reason or another. What's important is to do something. Go for a short walk (I know the weather isn't really helping with this one) or do some situps at home. Check out a daily challenge on MFP - it'll give you an idea of an exercise that you can do at home, without any fancy equipment. I'm going to try to bump these every day, so take a look at my wall if you can't find it on your own (I apologize in advance for having to scroll through my lots and lots of 'Jen commented on so&so's status' updates....I'm a little addicted to MFP....:ohwell: ). And if anyone just needs someone to talk to or needs advice on something (not that I will have all the answers, but maybe I can google it for you...:wink: ) or if you just need some lovin, ALWAYS feel free to message me. :flowerforyou:

    Oooh! That was quick! So, we picked up an extra 108 calories. That multiplied by 5 gives us an additional 540 calories. Not too shabby! Our total, with our additional crew member, is 6809 ~ 136.18 miles.

    We never did get attacked today. Which is a shame for all of them, because our lowest burn of the day is 215! Someone could've gotten an additional 1000 calories. Oh well!! Ah Ha!

    I'm BEAT! I hope you all have a fantastic Friday! I will (as always) be on MFP all day, counting down the minutes until it's time to go home. :smile:

    Night, Ladies!!!

    LOL we row in silence and unseen. bwahahahahaha! (Ok, maybe not that silent, but I guess that's why they leave us alone ... a hip full of giggling, crazy girls ... who would freely attack us and make us cry?) Their fault (and our luck) if nobody is attacking us.

    i will take it a bit easier today and give my best on saturday, so we get the most out of the triple day from my burn. Sorry to see some of the ladies won't be around on the weekend, but everbody deserves some playtime on the observation deck. LMAO we other girls will still our butts off. =^_^=

    Good morning, my Lovelies!!!

    Being that yesterday was the end of our third week of rowing, I wanted to give some stats. I'm nerdy like that. :laugh: And I think it helps to give us some perspective.

    Our biggest burn in one day (as a team) was last Saturday with a total of 14,267 calories burned.
    Our smallest burn in one day (as a team) was last Friday with a total of 4592 calories burned.
    Our average daily burn (as a team) is 7982 calories burned.

    Our top three burners are Sandy (Galathea) with 20,248 calories burned, myself with 16,080 calories burned and Toni (HotSouthernMess) with 15,993 calories burned.
    Individual Top Burns are highlighted in the spreadsheet in orange. (if there's a day where I had two burns for you, I looked at the individual numbers, not the total)

    Overall, as a team, we have burned 167,621 calores!!!! Converted to miles, that's 4830.18 miles!!!


    One another note, Let's talk about tomorrow - our next TRIPLES day. I know we're down a couple girls this weekend - so, I'm not going to ask that we BEAT last weekend's triple day number, but let's get close. How about we shoot for a 12,500 calorie burn??? Think that's doable???

    My plan is to hit 2000 calories burned on Saturday. This is a LOT!!! And my closest has been 1500ish. I'm going to start my day with 30ds, then I have some cooking to do for a party tomorrow night, then the gym and the pool. I'd like to do some weight training, too. We'll see how that goes. Good luck, Ladies!!!

    Oh the pressure!!! :-) I seriously do not know how y'all burn 1000. I've gotten close but no cigar. We are also heading out of town tomorrow, BUT I will make it a priority to work out first or I don't go. HEE. The family would so leave me too. I will post my burn and still try to get more in after we reach our destination. I don' t know what to expect up there, but I will do it if i can.

    Everyone is doing an awesome job and I am so glad to be a part of this challenge with all of you. It really has made me stay motivated and push myself harder. You all are great motivators and great support.

    Burn baby burn!!!

    I didn't realize there were daily challenges, I will start checking those out. I am currently doing the 30DS and C25K. I'm always looking for something to mix it up though.

    You girls are all fantastic!!! Good luck with our big burns today! I know we can knock it out!!!

    That being said - it's raining today. :tongue: I hope it clears up after lunch because I need to that pool time to get to my 2000 goal!!! Hollered at Jillian this morning, so I'm on the right track.

    I didn't get a chance to send Lee our totals last night, so I did it this morning. Anything that was on your wall or in your journal for yesterday, as of about 90 minutes ago was submitted.

    Our total cals for yesterday was 7818 ~ 156.36 miles. Keep it going, Ladies!!!

    Hey Girls!

    We did pretty good today. We didn't hit that goal of 13,000, but we came pretty close! We burned a total of 10405 calories on Saturday. Not too bad for being down to ten! After tripling, it comes out to 624.3 miles for the day. I think that's something that we can be proud of!

    Saturday morning, Lee posted the special days for the week. Check them out here:

    I'm pretty exhausted, so this update's going to be a short one. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. *snuggles & smooches* for you all!!!

    Hey Girls,
    An update to this week's games. Please check out this thread, as well:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/298087-row-the-world-games-updated?page=1#posts-3942355



    Summary of the post from yesterday, as well as this new one:

    MONDAY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DOUBLE DAY !

    WED>>>>>>>>>>> WATER WATER WEDNESDAY !!!
    each team member will be awarded 10 mile per glass of water up to a maximum of 9 glasses (90 miles) !! we could not play this game without trust, so you are all trusted to tell the truth and drink up !!!!
    THIS WEEK WEDNESDAY WILL BE A REST DAY and CALS WILL NOT COUNT ! HOWEVER THE WATER element will still count.

    (((((a lot of people are killing themselves to move their boat...... and a few are risking injury !

    to that end i will be inserting REST DAYS in to our challenge, but will think of a different way that people can still move the boat.

    there will be a rest day EVERY WEEK ! but will compensate by adding an extra double day etc )))))


    FRIDAY>>>>>>>>>>> DOUBLE DAY !!!!!


    DOUBLE ATTACK WEEKEND !!!

    Attacking boats that are near you (two in front or any behind) and get their highest cal burns on both SAT AND SUNDAY and TRIPLE that one persons miles !!!!!

    Hola Senoritas!! I'm learning spanish for work and it's not going so well. :-)

    Wednesday is water day huh!!?? I am a huge water drinker, so I thought, but 9 glasses is difficult when I am work. I don't have enough time to go to the restroom. LOL!! Just kidding, we can so do this and these are easy miles!! I'm putting a reminder on my computer right now.

    Keep up the good work everyone!!

    Since I wasn't around this weekend, I wasn't able to log any calories.. although I'm sure I sweated off a TON in the heat and humidity and did a lot of walking/working too. But tonight I'm back at it... Jillian is already taunting me (I can see her laughing and pointing at me in my head, lol) and will be taking her on after work. But then I'll be out of town for work tomorrow night, back Wed though. I'll bring along my tennies and maybe hop on the treadmill at the hotel.

    Missed all you lovely ladies over the weekend! :)

    Today was a good day for me. I got a long walk in and my Zumba class in the evening. 1100 cals burned. And my cramps seem to go away. Not sure if it was the workout or the new bc pill, but I won't complain. =^_^= Kitten is happy again.

    1100 burned.. AMAZING job... i have a goal to burn over 1000... i can't seem to get there though...I've started the C25K... completed W1D1 on a slight incline yesterday.. and i was BEAT after that... i'm sweating sooo much... and i'm disapointed at the burn after... but i try not to focus on that.. my hips seem to hurt a little today... so hopefully that will go away as my muscles become stronger

    Hannah - I get the hip thing sometimes, too. Were you walking on a treadmill? I think that's a fabulous goal to have and I'm positive that you'll get there. What I've found is to get a big burn like that, I have to break it up during the day. I do 30ds early - that's 400 cals for me - and then later, I'll go for a walk - that's another 250-300 for me - and if I'm lucky and can fit it in, I go to the pool, which is a huge burn. Because (at least for me) 1000+ all at once (unless we're talking a couple hours in the pool), is a lot to do. Breaking it up definitely helps me.

    So, totals!! Sorry I didn't get this in last night. It was late and I was tired and still waiting on a couple people. I just sent Lee the miles. We should be updated soon. We did a FANTASTIC job yesterday!! Definitely made up for our really slow day on Sunday.

    We burned 10,571 cals ~ 422.84 miles, after doubling. Nice job, Girlies!!! Today is a regular burn day, so keep em coming.

    Tomorrow is officially a rest day. Any calories burned tomorrow WILL NOT COUNT!! But what DOES count is your water intake! For each glass of water that we drink, we get 10 miles, up to 9 glasses!! That's 90 miles per person!!! THAT"S HUGE!!! If we EACH drink 9 cups of water tomorrow, that will get us 1350 miles!!! That's equivalent to 67,500 calories burned!!! That's almost 5 of our BIGGEST miles days. So, tomorrow, we rest, but we drink that water. We could really use all of those miles!!

    <3 you Ladies! Keep it going! I know we can do this!! Woot woot!!!

    651 for me today. I was on holidays but since I was being so active I ran around trying to find a signal on my cell phone so that I could at least keep up to date with my calorie burn. Hope you got them all!!
    I'm always good ond rinking my water and usually drink at least 4 litres a day so the water challenge won't be a problem for me! Everybody is doing great!! Keep up the awesome work! :happy:

    Yes to the treadmill... i can't run outside in this heat... blah... plus i'm still a little too embarrassed to run outside.. my job is probably slower then some people's walk.. ha ha..

    9 glasses of water.. NO PROBLEMO... i try to get 12 glasses in at work every day.. cause i know i suck at it when i get home.
