    A 100 MILE WALK! :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway: :noway:
    Even if we divded that across our 20 team mates thats 5 miles each!! My thighs were itching and burning after the ONE mile i did last week! WHA THA FRICK! Can it be spread across the week and can we include the 2 miles that are already asked of us in the daily exercises (Days 2 & 6)??

    Also exactly what is the point in posting a recipe? Whats the reason and incentive behind that :huh:

    I dont really stuggle to stay under my kcals because if I want to eat something bad enough I will log it in advance on the next day and tell myself for the rest of the day that I can have what I want tomorrow. Then I can fit my kcals around it.

    Exercise is my low point. I work HARD for four days a week (10.5 hrs a day) as a waitress and spend the rest of the time being a lazy *kitten* and most days I dont even get out of my PJ's LOL!! I found last weeks exercise challenges slighlty annoying and inconvienent to my routine of being a lazy *kitten* LOL but I pulled my thumb out ... this weeks challenges ... ouchy to my eyes!

    But *sigh* I'm not a quitter and we're already a quater through august ... so bring it on! ... I guess lol! xx

    LOL! I know what you man about the exercises getting in the way of us being lazy... I feel the same way

    Well, I have this quirk about being brutally honest with my diary and even if I go over 2000 calories, I will log it...only cheating myself if i lie. Right? So, I really struggle with self control, if i know I am the one causing the team to lose bonus points by eating "xyz"..I won't eat it. But as soon as someone went over last week, I was like "oh well, screw it! Won't matter if I go over" so, I guess I want the challenge for all of us (but really me) :) Did anyone else feel like that last week?

    I see what you're saying and being honest is a good thing, I don't lie on my diary either. You should try out my tactic and see if it helps you to succeed though. E.g: You've eaten all your kcals for the day and you really wana eat that snickers thats sneaking in the back of the cupboard. It's not a great choice but it's a one off right!? Well then just tell yourself, "TOMORROW" and go to bed early. Then the next day after breakfast it's down to you - you can eat the snickers now that you have the kcals for it, or you can decide "No. My will power is switched on today" and choose not to :-) xx

    Okay because I dont have my computer in town with me I need your guys help...

    I know im captain & im sorry i am about to ask so much of you guys....

    BUT I need to you guys to send me something via inbox stating:

    1 point for each daily exercise you did
    and
    Your weight loss amount

    Im not going to ask about the water intake or staying under our calories because unfotunatly all of us have a bad day every once in awhile. :o)

    I am very proud of you guys regardless and thank you for being patient with a captain that is going thru a crisis. Ugh....

    I am totally in for the 5 miles/per person!! We can sooooo do this!!!

    I lost .2 pounds :(

    I know it's still a loss but it's the smallest loss I have had since I started... I think it might be because I am feeling bloated and haven't felt that well for 2 days...

    I am in for the 5 miles! Eeeks....did I just say that? Going to be tough with all these extra exercises but I will do my darndest. I do think adding all these extra exercises the 2nd week went a little excessive. For people that have been exercising, it's probably nothing, but for me who just started exercising last week after not doing it for a few years, it's a little too much to add things so quickly. I was good with the 1 exercise a day to start, and would have thought adding maybe 1 extra this week on M-W-F or something would have been better for those of us that are just getting started with the extra walking challenge.

    Ok, I'm done whining now......for the moment..... :laugh:
