    I thought we were weighing in on Mondays? I can do Sundays, I was just curious.

    it was changed to sundays...to follow what gary suggested (goes along better with exercise schedule)

    Oh, ok. I was a bit behind as I thought we were weighing in on Mondays also. I finished up day 3 exercises today also as I was too busy yesterday to finish up. I will weigh myself before I go to bed, but I usually weigh myself first thing in the morning so it might be off a little bit.....

    For this coming week, are we then doing week 2 exercises?

    Great job everyone! We rocked week one!! I'm ready for week 2 now.

    Finished up week 2 day 1 exercises. The burpees killed me. I had to split them into 2 sets of 25. But I did it! Also, did the 3.1 miles of walking for the bonus point today. :smile:

    Week 2, day 1 bushmen done. Those burpeess are KILLER! I had to split up into 5 sets of 10. But I did feel pretty accomplished afterward. I also ran/walked the 3.1 miles for a team bonus. My goal is to do that every day this week, but I have a feeling my body will be aching tomorrow...

    Great job team! It sounds like we are all struggling a bit, but we are still staying on track. Keep it up and find your strength from within Nishi!!!

    hi team,

    i am so sorry to have to do this, but i'm going to have to drop out of this challenge. in looking at the program, it doesn't align with my training program and my goals in weight loss. i am in the process of training for a 10k, and much of the losing weight process for me is focused on arms and losing overall mass in my legs. too much of this challenge program has to do with adding additional miles to runs, squats, etc--stuff that just cannot be done within my training plan. i also have a very extensive lifting plan, so adding onto that lifting with these additional challenges just isn't feasible for me.

    i hope that you can find someone to take my place that will be able to catch up and give the team the points it deserves. i hope that you all will try to understand where i am coming from and that you won't be upset with me. again, i feel terrible for doing this. it's my fault for not looking deeper into what the program entailed before i committed. i really wish you ladies all the best and i will definitely support you as much as i can, i just can't partake in the challenges as they are set forth.

    best,

    lauren

    Day 3 done. Extra mile done. I or run a 5k pretty much every day.

    I didn't have a chance to work out yesterday, but I did day 2 and day 3 today, including running about 3.3 miles (bonus for today!) Also I had enough water and was under my calories both today and yesterday. Yahoo!

    PS Burpees will be the death of me. They are so freaking hard, but that means they must be working my body, right? I hope you all are doing well and staying positive!

    hey team..just found something out about the mini-challenges

    Did Day 4 today and the extra point for the 3.1 miles.

    Lauren - what was the mini-challenge last week? Is the mini-challenge this week running extra (1 mile for pygmy or 3.1 miles for bushmen), or is it the 1000 calories in one day thing? Thanks!

    the mini challenge last week was doing the bear walk for 3 mins straight...

    this week, the extra mile run/walk/whatever is the team weekly goal, the mini challenge is if you burn 1,000 in a day :)
