    all good for my exercises so far this week, well as of wednesday anyway. so far i've done an additional 600 crunches. 500 of them were from tonight. unsypathetic boyfriends can be a great motivator for extra exercise.

    Pooh~ Wow. That is pretty intense. I hope things work out for you. Is there anyway to treat it? No problem with providing variations. I know I couldn't do a ton of regular crunches. I get too bored plus I absolutely love the twist ones. Also, I don't see any problem with your mountain climber modification.

    Windedhl~ Good job on the crunches. I'm sorry about the unsupportive boyfriend.

    sbanth and Stephanie08~You are both doing great!

    So, tomorrow after work, I am flying out west for a vacation in the Grand Canyon till late Wednesday. I intend to do the exercises while I'm gone but, while I will have some internet via my phone, I'm not sure how much and will be unable to update the spreadsheet for Gary or track ya'll. Would you rather have someone else take over the spreadsheet when I'm gone or just send me your exercise performance and weight so I can update it when I get back? It may be easier to just have me do it when I get back because th spreedsheet is some what confusing but it is up to you.

    I think it will be fine if you update it when you get back Joy... But other team members may want it done sooner....

    Order doesn't matter as long as you do them. I'm probably going to do two workouts today since I'm not sure I'll get the chance Saturday.

    No cure, but they can treat the symptoms. And Steph you are right, it goes into remission and has flare ups. They just treat the flare ups to try and get you back in remission, so hopefully...no major flares!

    I'm good with you just catching up when you get back Joyous and us just continuing to update for when you get back. What about getting the next week's schedule? You want one of us to go get it off another teams page when it's published?

    I'd rather just wait Joyous and let you do it ... I have never actually seen a spread sheet throughout the whole challenge anyways ... I always assumed it was tallied up at the end of the month!?

    Pooh ~ Dieting_Mommy has agreed to post the challenges for me.
    SCC88 ~ I assume so. I have doubts on Gary's formulas but I am waiting for his responses.

    climbers, 10 globe jumps, 10 Squat Kicks, 10 ZigZag Hops! These are a little different. IF YOU ARE ABLE
    AND YOU ARE! Do these consecutively. No stopping to rest, don’t break these into sets! I’ve designed
    this so you can see just how far you’ve come. Many of you would never be able to do all of these in one

    Weekly Team Challenge

    crunches and jumping jacks for the week along with an extra 5 miles for each team member! The Last
    part of the team weekly challenge is solicit a friend or family member to join MFP and begin the next
    month’s journey with you. Inspire others that’s easy. The retire portion of the week is about looking
    back at the past 30 days. You have had to retire many old habits, many excuses and reasons why not to
    exercise. It’s time to retire those and move forward to the new you! YOU ARE MY INSPIRATIONS! Keep
    it up as we INSPIRE our circle of influence and RETIRE the old ways! Go Inspirations Go!

    Quick check in because I'm away from the computer today:

    Day 4 yesterday - complete, however, I did not get any ab work in, but I'll make up for it by close of week. (I'm at about 150 crunches so far - so 1/2 way there)

    Don't feel like that I'm only t 150 too! But I suppose we have to look at it this way, some weeks we'll carry some people (walking), and other weeks people will carry us (crunches) :happy: Its a team!

    Hey! Every penny counts ya know!

    Next week I will commit myself to 10 extra miles, 1400 crunches and 1000+ jumping jacks (as much as I have grown to loathe them!)
    I actually can't wait to start now! Just hope my stoooopid blisters hurry up and heal for a solid week of jogging!!
    Also what is that guy on about "rest on wednesday because thursday is gona be ________" what the frick!?!?!

    That's a reference to the September Challenge.

    Have done every thing for the week except the 2 miles but I figure my 14 mile hike down the grand canyon will conver that. I've done 700 crunches so far. I'll do another 300 before the week is done.
    I'm with you SCC88. I HATE JUMPING JACKS!!!! They're boring, painful on my bossom, and embaressing becuase I know my downstairs neighbors can here me. They make me stabby.

    For next week, I can commit to 20 extra miles, 1000+ crunches, but some one has got to carry me on the bloody jumping jacks. I'll do 250 but any more and I may go crazy..

    Ok, I'll commit to 10 miles and try to do more, you know how I am on the crunches, so I'll commit to 250 :(, but the jumping jacks don't bother me, so I'll commit to 1000+ of those to help Joyous out since you guys keep carrying me on the crunches.

    They kill the tops of my legs, all that jumping and my legs want to give up! May have to keep doing them though, if theyre so challenging for me, they must be working :-)

    Good news....Bad news....my 25th High School Reunion was last night and tonight. I didn't blow it by huge proportions, but margaritas don't do you any good when you have to come in from work and head straight out. I couldn't get any exercise in yesterday. I will make up that today and I got my water in. So my diary was over, but it was nice to see I could go out and still manage to do what will later be a maintainance level for me. I'm not concerned about tonight's event as there will be dancing involved, so I'll burn some calories. Last night was just sitting around and catching up with everyone.

    Good news? I lost 3.2 lbs this week! :)

    Angel, I too have enjoyed this team and I really like these challenges. I hope they continue it on through the fall and winter as I think that will be a very challenging time of the year. I want to do it again, but I'm going to have to drop September out of fairness to everyone. I will be gone a week for a cruise (so no way to log or keep up) and then again for a 5-day work conference. I probably can log there but I know I can't during cruise week. I'm not worried about food and exercise that week because I will get plenty of both! Ha ha. Conference week will be tougher because we have catored food so we can just keep going through lunch, and they don't offer to much healthy! I'm going to have to pack my own snacks and make myself exercise that week...but I'll get it.
