    OOOO MINI CHALLENGE! 3 Minutes!!

    Hey Team NO MO!

    Mini challange was offered up for today! Are we IN as a team? I think one of our members is from down under and I bet she is sleeping now.... she can do it in the morning!

    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

    is there a single thread or do we log into our own thread? lol so many questions. i dont have time to do the advanced challenges on top of everything i already do every day so i'll be doing the easy challenges. lol also teh advanced challenges will interfere with my own strength training program.

    Last night I did the day 1 challenge. The advanced was too much and the easy was too little so I did half all the advanced exercises just less reps. I realize how out of shape I am in. My husband said he would do them with me though so that will be fun!

    Also bad news/ good news......

    Nikki had to drop out for medical reasons. Sad to see her out but I told her to hang with us on here and just not do the exercise.

    I found a replacement! Cmccracken1 will be her fill-in for the month. Please welcome her (she is very nice and an awesome athlete!) and friend her on MFP.

    I've been good on water/calorie limits! As far as the exercises are concerned, I've modified them to what my recently-operated on knee can handle =)

    Lynn messaged me this! She is doing AWESOME!!
    *****************************************************************************************

    Day 2 - calories logged/under calories/exercises completed/only 2 glasses of water again :o(

    I really struggle with drinking my water quota in the winter (we have opposite seasons!!). Through the summer with our horrendous heat I tend to overload myself wtih water, but can't seem to do it through the winter! Going to make an extra effort tomorrow!

    I know it won't earn any extra points, but I did use my 2.5kg (5.5lb) weights in each hand instead of my 1kg (2.2lb) weights for the swimmers!! They were heavier than I thought!!! lol

    Have a good day

    Lynn :o)

    hi everyone getting here kinda late but glad to be in. Myname is Casey i am 36 years old. I have two very active boys. Christopher is 13 and Caleb is 9. They both play baseball pretty much year round so i am a ball park mommy. I quit smoking in April of 2010 I was 195 lbs at that point. I gained up to 216 by November and decided that was enough. I completed the C25k program last March my current weight is 182. I really need to loose about 10 more lbs and hoping this challenge will motivate me to get there. Glad to be part of it.

    Well, all seems to be going well with the challenge for me - except for my water intake :o( Why do I find it so hard to drink more water????

    Loving it so far though :o)

    I've been adding my '1' point each day for completing my exercise in the Daily Exercise Challenge column. Now if I stay under my calories do I then add a '1' in the Daily Team Challenge column? I've not been completing my water quota, so do I add a '0'?

    Hope this question makes sense!!! I don't know whether I should be putting in a '1' or a '0'!!!! lol Do I have to be under in calories AND have enough water intake to enter a '1'?

    Hope everyone is having a good day - keep up the good work everyone :drinker:

    I still can't figure out where to post my weight when I click on the Google spreadsheet. Help!!

    Other than that, I've done well with exercise and water. Too many sweets recently though, need to cut that down.

    Good luck with the rest of the week guys!!

    Also, what day are we on??? If we started Sept 1st we should be on the 5th day, right? I'm just confused because now the second week is posted and I'm not sure if it's going by day of the week (i.e. today, Monday = Week 2 day 1) or by day we started (9/5 = week 1 day 5)

    thanks!!!

    Whelp, I blew it today on the calories. After I had eaten my fair share of breakfast and lunch we were invited to a BBQ which is full of calories. I was doing SO well the last 4 days. I am so upset with myself. This just shows how important planning is in our eating. Oh well, tomorrow's a new day!

    If you go into the spreadsheet there are tabs at the bottom click until you see the weight chart. you put in a start weight and then I am guessing it's an end of the week weight for each week. I am not sure about the day thing, i would assume that Monday is day one of week 2 since that's the way he is rolling out the exercise list. so week one needs to be adjusted to only have day 4-7?? just a guess.
