ANJU WARRIORS (Closed Group)

Water in = check!
Under cals = check!
Bushmen done? = check!

Those globe jumps. Eeks. I was scared after seeing the video. I've done them and now I'm still scared of them. Hopefully the end of the month they won't kick my booty as badly.

I'm actually in a really crabby mood today. My 2 1/2 year old has been sick all day (puked this morning, bad diapers this afternoon, and now a low-grade fever). My infant has been SUPER cranky crying and wanting to nurse constantly so he's either hitting a growth spurt or my milk supply is being impacted and I need to eat/drink more. Oh, and my husband left this evening for the weekend. His Mom had a massive stroke about 6 weeks ago and has been in rehab. Now last night his Dad was rushed to the ER because his blood pressure was spiking and he was disoriented. My brother-in-law had to yell at him to get him to stay home today instead of going to the rehab center to be with my mother-in-law all day. So my husband left to head up there for the weekend to make his Dad rest, and to sit with his Mom.

Don't get me wrong, my husband is doing what he needs to do (and if it was my parents I know he wouldn't be upset for me going). So I'm not upset at him. I'm just more upset about the situation. Here we were suppose to have a family weekend, and instead I'm stuck here with two cranky sick kids (and I'm still getting over a cold myself) and he's not here to help out.

Ok, I officially sound like a whiny brat now. It's a good thing I removed all the chocolate from the house because it would have made it's way into my tummy tonight.

Everybody has done such a great job! Just wanted to throw out an fyi: I cannot believe I'm sore for the Bushmen challenge exercises. I do most all of those exercises - I'm wondering...hhmmmm, if it was the bearwalk!!!!! I don't know, but I guess we will find out when I do them again! Congrats everybody on a job well done!!!

Candb - I don't have kids, but upon reading your post I feel for you. I'll send up a prayer for ya!

have a great weekend everybody....and be good!

Sorry forgot to reply yesterday but i did complete the challenge for day 1.

I watched the youtube video to see what swimmer's presses are. Our weeks run Monday through Sunday? I plan to get me bear crawl in tomorrow!

I've done my workout already (had to run on the treadmill instead of outside since my hubby's gone) and the bushmen challenge. Gotta say, I like the arm ones better than the leg ones yesterday. I'm NOT looking forward to doing them again tomorrow.

I've got enough water in me already to count for the challenge (I've still gotta drink more for me today, though, since I'm nursing). I also have my calories for the rest of the day mapped out so I should easily stay in range for that. If I end up going over (doubtful), I'll let you know tomorrow.

Well, both my kids are still napping so I'm gonna log off here and do something for ME.

Jorden, you're the best. A blog is a great idea!! It's hard for me to find the challenges when they're buried in this thread.

I just finished up my challenge for today... it's super bloody awful horrible no-good damn hot out there today, so I did the bushmen challenge. There was just no way I was going to be walking tonight. It's almost 6pm here and it's 98 degrees. DUMB. Anyway, it went pretty well. I threw in jumping jacks and crunches for good measure. If there's one thing I struggle with, it's strength training. Pick up heavy things? Over and over? NO thank you. But this challenge is helping me see that it's not so bad! The tricep kickbacks were the hardest for me and everything else wasn't too bad! Calories and water were generally good today. I had chinese food for lunch (i didn't really have a choice)... but I think I did a really good job keeping things under control.

What exactly am I supposed to do after I have completed the challenges? I did the swimming exercise with weights and jogged a mile today (extra)....Didn't even know I could still jog one!!!

Every time I pop on I see someone else kickin' butt and takin' names! I love it!! Way to go Warriors!

Jorden- you are an awesome captain. So organized and so helpful...thank you!!

I did the pygamy challenges for the day, waters in, and I'm under my calorie (too far but I'm not feeling well, and couldn't even think about food) Gotta take a peek what's up for tomorrow. I'm off on 2 days of rest from regular routine, so I may do the bushman...we'll see. Supposed to be super hot and I still have a 2nd story of my house to paint. LoL.

Straight straight and strong over the weekend!!

Day 1 exercise challenge completed. Under cals for the day.
Day 2 exercise challenge completed. Under cals for this day also. YEA!!
*Note: are we suppose to check in every day or just report on Sat or Sun? I logged daily cals/eats but did not log exercise challenge at completion. Hope I have not lost us team points for this!!

Go to page 2 of this thread, it explains there. It's a bit overwhelming first starting these things isn't it?
Looks like we let our team captain know we have completed the daily challenge every day. We weigh in every Sunday. If I'm wrong, somebody please correct me

Just wondering.... I know we only have exercise challenges 6 days a weeks, so are our weekly challenges only 6 days of the week as well?

If I understand your question, the bear walk was our weekly challenge, so we do that only one time this week. Again, somebody please correct me if this isn't correct.
