@SarahRuth - you can pledge, but nothing will happen if you don't make it.... the ab crunches/sit ups that you do will go toward the team 4000 regardless...... just make sure that if you try to do this, that your body is "warmed up" before you try to do that many ab crunches. You don't want to pull an ab muscle..... that IS ALOT of ab crunches....... Let me know what you decide.
@SarahRuth and @lisaap - GREAT! I would love to have you both on my team for September!! I have you both down..... only 8 more slots - so be sure to let me know if you wanna be in for September!!!
@Song2Sing - are you replacing the globe jumps for some other challenge this week? Let me know because I didn't see globe jumps on the list for this week.. I just want to be sure that I give you credit for those somewhere..... Also, I counted your 100 ab crunches toward Friday's challenge as I didn't see where you had "pledged" for ab crunches for the team yet.... let me know how many you want to pledge for the week toward the team challenge, ok?
Myself, I got in the 3 sets of 21's, the extra mile was done tonight on my bike, 45 minutes walking (at work) 90 sit ups today.... drank 10 glasses of water and came in under calorie goal....0 -

@TNGirlyGirl, yes... we still need more commitments for ab crunches this week. I'll pit you down for 400. Thanks! Glad things are settling down at school. Hay! I like your pic on the biggest loser thread! Keep us posted each week... that's awesome that you are still in it!
@cath...... YES! I definitely want YOU on my team for September! That's awesome! Thanks! It'll be similar to what's going on this month, but I'm hoping the challenges get progressively more difficult!
Goodnight all!0 -
Today was a really busy day at work! Got my water in, was under calories and did the 50 ab crunches and presses. I assume those are like push ups! That's about as far as I got today. Tomorrow and Thursday look to be really busy too, but I will be walking around for hours (I am facilitating some training) both days. That has to burn calories as usually I sit at a desk.
Have a great night everyone!0 -
As of this morning (as of THIS posting), we have pledged 3770 crunches, and we have completed 1195 of them!! As usual, you guys are really ROCKIN' !!0

i worked till noon then took a road trip -
driving over 6 hrs to get bless my daughter w/new fridge -
exhausted by 11 (WAY past my bedtime!)
i will be better today (promise) --

I will commit to 700 ab crunches for the team this week (already did 100 yesterday and got a 100 in this morning). If I do more, I will let you know, per day! Also did just 20 lunges and am really feeling it in my knees. They were cracking or making a grinding sound, eeks!0 -
@Song2Sing - you are right.....
On the sheet for this week, Day #5, he says to do the 100 ab crunches and 50 burpees (which are also called Ups/Downs - same thing)... but he gives the link to the Globe jumps video......
so I'm gonna tell everybody to do whichever one they want to do and just let me know which one..... Song2Sing - I'll give you credit for those on Friday... no worries!!
thanks for pointing that out!!0 -
