    anyone?

    you can do that...its just a matter of all of it getting done...you can break it up however you want...the way it is broken up daily is just how it is recommended :)

    The spreadsheet looks AWESOME - props to your excel skills. Do you want us to update it each day by putting a 1 in our column if we do everything, or should we post it on here? I don't know what is easiest for everyone. So excited to go on this journal with all of you - good luck!

    i'd love to take credit for that awesome spreadsheet but Gary actually put it all together. I was just waiting on him to email it out to the team captains.

    How about for the weekly challenges, we just write on here if we complete them. I think that would be a lot less confusing for everyone. :) This can be done daily or if you want you can wait until saturday and post how many days you completed along with if you completed the weekly team goal (i.e. this week's is for everyone to drink 64 oz. of water a day). Then a follow-up weigh-in on sunday to track how much everyone has lost.

    Super excited for this!!! :)


    Just did my day 1 exercise :)

    Sounds good to me. I just did day one exercise too, and it kicked my butt! I loved it! :happy:

    Welcome katie_rn to the team! :)

    and to to the whole team...it will be easier if everyone posts on here if they do the daily/weekly goals and message your weights instead of logging into email account to update it.

    Thanks!

    Repost from Gary6030- O.K. Let's start this week off right! Since we are short this week I'm offering a mini-challenge. Remember Gym Class? Do you remember doing the bear walk? As a side mini-challenge you don't have to ever do the mini-challenges. But if you'd like to earn your team an extra point bearwalk for 3 minutes. Seems easy but it has to be a constant bear walk constantly moving for 3 minutes. You might be surprised! If you do the bear walk at the end of the week ask them to add one point to your team score! if you choose not too or cannot perform the mini-challenge its all good! This is just something to get our challenge up and running! So there it is FIRST MINI-CHALLENGE a Constant 3 minute Bearwalk.

    What's a bearwalk? stand up put your feet on the floor hunched over and walk with feet and legs on the floor? Like a bear walks? Walk at a constant pace for 3 minutes no stopping!

    Okay. I'm getting ready to start my workout. Doing the Tabata, Bushman, and then hopefully heading out the door for a run. We'll see how it all works out. Also, I could be wrong be I believe our additional weekly team challenge is to log in everyday, be under our calories everyday, AND drink 64 oz of water.

    Oh, and I'll do the bearwalk!! :) It looks fun. Maybe I should do it in my backyard though so my neighbors don't think I'm crazy. hehe

    ETA: Just finished the daily exercises. They majorly kicked my butt. I'm going to try recover for a bit and then head out for my run.

    I did the pygmy challenge for today! It wasn't too bad, so I'm thinking I'll do the Bushman challenge tomorrow! :) I also did the 3 minute bear walk. Harder than it sounds! I definitely was going slower towards the end, though!!

    Completed my exercises today! It's hard to keep track of my water intake though - I've never focused on that before. I hope the challenge is going well for everyone - we can do it warriors!

    I have a 32 oz water bottle that I drink from through out the day. It helps me keep track of my water without thinking about it as much. I used to keep a note with tally-marks on my fridge...

    Did the water, stayed under with my cals, did the pygmy challenge (I wasn't sure about everything in the bushman) and I'll do the bear walk. Why not? Everyone is doing great! Keep it up!

    Did the bear walk. Definitely harder than expected. I kind of wished I did it when my kids were awake. It would have been more fun to do with them.

    Okay I am caught up for day 1 & 2!! I didnt think the water would be hard for me but I guess I am usually only a litle over half way on my water intake for a goal so i'll work on that! Now to do the bear walk with my kitten giving me more funny looks :-)

    Great job everyone! I'm planning on doing the bear walk tomorrow. I just finished day 2 exercises. I worked a 16-hr shift (I'm on my feet the whole time) and I don't have the energy left for another workout. So the bearwalk and some additional exercising is planned for tomorrow. :smile:

    Done for the day! Stayed under on my calories and drank the water. For the exercises I actually did the Bushmen challenge! It took awhile, and I was exhausted after it but I felt really powerful!

    I'm planning on doing the Bushmen tomorrow too and I'll do the bearwalk as well. Keep it up everyone! We can do it!

    Did the bear walk - that's some hard stuff! I also did the Bushmen challenge today but definitely couldn't do it all in a row. I had to split a lot of the exercises up because I got too tired to do them all in a row. Also, how are you all keeping track of the calories you burn doing these challenges? I don't have a heart rate monitor, so I didn't know if there was another way to keep track or estimate. My water is almost done for the day (working out makes me drink a lot) and I'll hopefully stay under my calories.

    I have a feeling I am going to be sooorrreeee tomorrow. This challenge is really making me work! Good luck to everyone :) We can do it!!!

    Yay! Yes!! We can do it!

    I think that most people that don't have a HRM are counting the exercises as general aerobics or circuit training. Hope that helps!

    Yesterday i was too crazy busy, I didn't even get to have dinner before dashing to work for a 12 hour night shift. So yeah, I was under my cals and had my water yesterday. Under cals today, and did my water as well. Going to do the pygmy day 2 and 3 challenges now. I can't do 2 days worth of bushmen after a night shift. That's just crazy talk. :wink: Good luck everyone on the weigh in tomorrow.
