Alright...here we are with the first week of challenges. Please note that there are two sets of challenges...one for those who are starting off slow and one for those who are in FULL BEAST MODE! If you choose to mix the two (like I will), you must complete one of the daily challenges. For instant, I will complete the basic challenge and then incorporate some of the more advanced challenge exercises into my day as well until I am able to go ALL ADVANCED. Here goes...if you have ANY questions or concerns, inbox me...

    Looks like September is going to be a challenge, Kind of scared me a bit but I am looking forward to seeing what I can do. I am so happy with the results that I have gotten in the August challenge. We can do this ladies. Lets kick September's *kitten*!!!

    I'm excited!!!!
  • Em, I see that you are VERY close to your swim goal??? CONGRATS!!! Ladies, I go to the doctor tomorrow. I checked my heart rate yesterday using my Polar and it was 59-60. That is normal...but I have to be cleared by the doctor. Unfortunately, the side effect of the new medicine is a HEADACHE and between that and sinuses, my head has been banging! Send a prayer up for me for tomorrow because I want to start September right. Meanwhile, I will not be much help for the August weigh in but I wont hurt either. I know you ladies will rock it out though!!!!! Thanks so much for sticking with me!

    Oh and one more thing (sorry I am posting so much) I think that if you do the "BUSHMAN" challenge all 6 days you should be awarded MORE points than if you just do the "basic" challenge each day...like a bushman day should be worth at least an extra 1/2 point....I mean it IS going to be A LOT harder than the basic...I dont know...thats just me though.....:ohwell:
  • Alright ladies...the challenges have been modified to keep us on a Monday to Saturday week. Please note that I do not mind you taking one rest day during the week if you cannot make it to Sunday, but note that this is a challenge and we only get ONE. Please be honest because at the end of the day, you not only hurt yourself, but you hurt the team as well. So, here goes....

  • I agree, but here is the problem with that. Everyone is not physically able to do those challenges and some captains and members are REALLY competitive. I mean, we have experienced that in our group with the young lady who was transferred from the group because she felt as if we were not "going hard enough" like another group. Some people would be passed over or shunned, quite possibly because of their inability to do the Bushmen Series and if not, you would have folk lying saying that they were doing it and that is not what we want, you know? I do agree with you. I think Gary is trying things out to see how they work and as we go along with the challenges, we will tweak. So, as your Captain, I will bring that up to him for future consideration.
    Oh and one more thing (sorry I am posting so much) I think that if you do the "BUSHMAN" challenge all 6 days you should be awarded MORE points than if you just do the "basic" challenge each day...like a bushman day should be worth at least an extra 1/2 point....I mean it IS going to be A LOT harder than the basic...I dont know...thats just me though.....:ohwell:
  • Oh and post as muich as you need to! That was a valid point and it is my job to go to him as captain and bring these things to light so that we can make our challenges better!

    Oh yeah...I hadnt thought of it that way...though it had crossed my mind that people would lie..but I HIGHLY doubt that anyone on our team would do that...just because I think that we all have a good grasp that this is for US and that we are ONLY hurting OURSELVES by lying...but I know that other teams may not be as honest as we would be...so yeah that makes plenty of sense...I was only asking because I am sure that most of us will attempt to do the Bushman on at least 1 day a week....and for as hard as it is..you would think we would get a little extra something...but thats just me tallking, LOL.... :tongue: Thanks for taking the time to respond to that Monique! :heart:
  • No problem...:wink: If you all have any concerns, you can always inbox me or post it and I will investigate. Like I say all of the time, this is not just a challenge, it's our health! The better the understanding we have...the better we feel about doing it....the better we feel, the more we will put into it and the more we will get out of it! As a captain, I want to make the challenges better and better!

    Yeah I get that! :bigsmile: You are doing a great job Monique! I will keep in touch, especially if I have questions or concerns...thanks again! :heart: :smile:

    I agree, but here is the problem with that. Everyone is not physically able to do those challenges and some captains and members are REALLY competitive. I mean, we have experienced that in our group with the young lady who was transferred from the group because she felt as if we were not "going hard enough" like another group. Some people would be passed over or shunned, quite possibly because of their inability to do the Bushmen Series and if not, you would have folk lying saying that they were doing it and that is not what we want, you know? I do agree with you. I think Gary is trying things out to see how they work and as we go along with the challenges, we will tweak. So, as your Captain, I will bring that up to him for future consideration.
    Oh and one more thing (sorry I am posting so much) I think that if you do the "BUSHMAN" challenge all 6 days you should be awarded MORE points than if you just do the "basic" challenge each day...like a bushman day should be worth at least an extra 1/2 point....I mean it IS going to be A LOT harder than the basic...I dont know...thats just me though.....:ohwell:

    Oh yeah...I hadnt thought of it that way...though it had crossed my mind that people would lie..but I HIGHLY doubt that anyone on our team would do that...just because I think that we all have a good grasp that this is for US and that we are ONLY hurting OURSELVES by lying...but I know that other teams may not be as honest as we would be...so yeah that makes plenty of sense...I was only asking because I am sure that most of us will attempt to do the Bushman on at least 1 day a week....and for as hard as it is..you would think we would get a little extra something...but thats just me tallking, LOL.... :tongue: Thanks for taking the time to respond to that Monique! :heart:
  • Alright Ladies...ARE YOU READYYYYY? Cap got the OK from the DR to get back in full mode! All praises due to God and THANKS to you all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers! I really appreciate it. So, let's get it started. My goal is 15 pounds this challenge...I hit that 10 so why not shoot for 15! Anyway, let's get our game plans together for the holiday!

If you want me to use your weight from the last August weigh in, I can...otherwise please send your weight effective September 1st. Let's go ladies! I believe in you...

    Yeah just go ahead and use my weight from the August challenge, it was 150.7 - and once again 5 pounds is my goal...so I want to weigh 145.7 by then of September...I will be doing backflips just to get to that number again, HAHAHAHA! Its been over a year since I weighed that little, and I will be SUPER psyched to be that weight again!! :bigsmile: So yeah I am SUPER ready to kick the heck out of September! :bigsmile: :heart: :bigsmile: :heart: :bigsmile: :heart:

    click on signature at the top

    then add

    [ I M G ]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z452/kapeluza78/tribal-1. p n g[ / I M G ]

    WITHOUT any of the spaces

    Also, I figured since it was a "tribal" theme, I couldn't get too girly girly on the signature but instead infuse it with *kitten* kicking! lol
  • I am so excited to be shadowing you all on this challenge...can't wait for the bushman series...September is going down. My sciatica is acting up still but it is getting better and really only bothers me when I stand too long or go for walks...I can do the elliptical til I'm blue in the face and it does not bother it, but as soon as I take a walk, BAM, there it is....ugh !!!

    Hubby will be giving me deep tissue massages on my sciatic area to help relieve the pain so I will be good to go.

    Ladies you are all warriors and can do anything you set your mind to, let's do this...bring it on !!!
