    i did 90 push ups and 45 dips, and im at work so dont have a weight to do the rows but consider them done. the dips r hard; not to do, but the feeling my arm feels instantly after, quite the burn!

    When. I was at the hotel I used the iron as a weight. At my parents I've been using a bottle of wine ;)

    It doesn't have to be an actual weight, you could use your water bottle or some office supplies. Oooh maybe a ream of paper! :laugh:

    Yea, i know; I lifted my water bottle, didnt think it was heavy enough; looked around and couldnt figure anything else out. lol.. ill be home in a bit and can do them later with my 6lb weight.

    SO this week my crazy *kitten* is going to try to do the arms and legs. Legs will be my official challenge but my arms are wimpy and need help. I have to modify the pushups to the countertop (at this time).



    My minigoal is to do 10 min of exercise within the first 30 min of waking.

    Go Team Explosives :explode:

    p.s. Glad to see so many of you guys here and kickin'!

    So ACowboyKid and I had a very lovely bonding session over AIM and we came up with some new Rules.



    RULE 1: If you have an issue whether it be physically, mentally, numbers, etc. go to me first. Message me with the nature of your issue and we can try to work it out together, if I can't work it out I will go to ACowboyKid and mrtentaclenun.

    So please don't message ACowboyKid or mrtentaclenun about the challenge without going to me first and getting my permission (if it is personal stuff, nothing to do with the challenge, then go ahead:smile: ). They have their own teams to worry about and they need to focus on their 15 without adding Explosives' (12-ish?).

    However, for now, until we work something else out, send your totals into mrtentaclenun until otherwise stated.

    RULE 2: If you have an injury, message me immediately YOU WILL NOT BE KICKED OUT we will find a different work out for you to do with what you have available (this way you can still get some weight-loss in, which is good, right?).

    RULE 3: This challenge is a weight-loss game. A game. A game....game.game.game.game.game.game.game.game!

    I don't want you to fret over comparing numbers with the other teams. I want you to keep track of your own numbers and see if you can't beat your personal bests!


    I'm so proud of how everyone is pushing themselves...just don't push too hard.


    babybluz33, I told ACowboyKid and mrtentaclenun about your suggestion and we will be working on it this week, thank you for your brilliant idea, you get a gold star! ....or a flower :flowerforyou: since there aren't any star smileys...


    annacataldo and to whomever else I offended with my remark about do you're best, the team can cover...I don't think that came out how I meant it and I apologize. I am so sorry about that and I will work harder in the future to be a better captain for Explosives.




    :explode:

    Yay! I hope were all moving forward now.

    What are your top 3 most used foods?

    Baby carrots (raw as a quick snack to avoid hunger, steamed with dinner seasoned with cinnamon for sweet ones or just plain, easy veggie to throw in a lunch, throw on salads, stir frys, can shred to add more vitamins to chili or throw in soups/stews/crock pot creations, whatever),

    potatoe (baked, roasted, home fries, boiled, in soups/stews, etc), and..

    chicken..? (Salads, entrees, sandwichs, chicken sausage, in soups, etc)

    Tuesday: 90 push ups, 90 dips, 90 rows (each arm--is this correct, or is it suppose to be 45 a day total, not each arm?))..I will aim for double each day because it doesn't give me pain to do it.

    I also want to do part of the leg excercises as well, but not daily cuz I have a lower body disability and its too hard on me.

    100lunges, 50mountain climbers, and 50squats...done. but I did 50lunges per side, is it suppose to be 100 per leg? And did 25mountain climbers per leg (50 total), so same question... too tired to go back and look at challenge listing to see if it says, I guess ill figure that out later.

    Hey guys.

    I had posted my results in days of 2 last week. probably not the best idea as it gets confusing. sorry. my weight didn't budge. I am going to drop out and be eaten by zombies (make me going out strong). Not because I feel the challenge is too difficult but, because I am pretty busy and am having trouble checking in everyday. And also it's difficult to scroll through all the posts I missed. I'm so sorry guys but being that this is a long challenge I think you need someone who can communicate more throughout. And I saw that some of you were stressing out. Don't. This is supposed to be fun. So those of you that stay just try to do as well as you can and not try for perfection. You started off so great. keep that up. And please for those of you who friended me lets keep motivating eachother. I'll still be on just only once a day and not for long. Keep going strong Explosives. And I hope your new team member is a great help.

    1. Slim-fast Meal on the Go Bars - because most of the time I'm too lazy to cook breakfast
    2. Jenni-o Turkey Burgers - because they are awesome and taste-y and can make loads with them
    3. Marketside Vegetable Medley - broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower, the cheapest way to get all 3 at my walmart.

    You don't have to check in everyday; just on sundays for totals. Last week I didn't even post my end totals for the last 2days here, I just posted it directly to mrtentacle cuz I was too busy to look at forums.checking in everyday is a personal choice, but isn't neccasary at all and once a week would be fine :-)

    Tuesday:
    90 push ups,
    90 dips,
    90 rows (per arm)
    100lunges,
    50mountain climbers,
    50squats

    Wednesday:
    90 push ups,
    90 dips,
    90 rows (per arm).
    100 lunges
    50mountain climbers
    50squats

    I still dont have an answer regarding if it per leg; or 100 lunges total (50each leg), or if its 50 mountain climbers per leg, or 50 total (25 per leg). If its per leg, then ive only done 25 mountain climbers and 50 lunges each day. I re-read the challenge posting and it did not specify.

    No idea what my mini-challenge is...

    next week will be a busy week for me; I hope Im able to keep up with whatever the challenge is, but Im sorry in advance if im not able to.
    Tuesday I have a morning doctors appointment (lovely womens exam..the things we do for birth control), then work, then doing an overnight doctors visit (sleep study)... which will be fun condering they want me to go to sleep by a way early time then i usually do, and then want me to wake up at 6 in the morning--i normally go to bed at 1 and wake up at about 9-ish. I laughed at them: told them they better get out the tranqulizers.

    and im helping my old employer with their fundraiser, so Ill be helping at that next Saturday. I went in for the 3rd time this morning to help them and they are farther behind then I thought; I use to put in 100hours a week for a month in order to pull off the fundraiser, and they are so far behind that idk how they will pull it off LOL, serves them right--they abused me for years and thought I didnt need to work as many hours...well at least they finally see... major projects that took me weeks havent even been started and they are due to printers on monday, etc.. Im laughing on the inside cuz I like the gratification that they cant pull it off without me (after firing me cuz they didnt think they needed me), but pains me to see something that took me years to perfect and work out all the kinks fall too pieces *sigh* i dont know why i agreed to help; hopefulyl the sleep study will answer why ive been so exausted.

    My god, I am exhausted...and I ran out of my muscle cream...I've already done more than I need to with the challenge, so I think I'm going to take a day off tomorrow.

    Quick question everyone...

    I've been having crazy snack attacks this week, and I bought some of those 100 calorie snacks and some carrots and celery and stuff like that...


    I was just wondering: what do you snack on?


    I could use some ideas.
