September Tribal Challenge *** TNT Crew *** (Closed Group)

Today I completed the challenges, was under on calories & met my water goal.

Looking forward to tomorrow's rest day :-)

Today was a real rest day for me. Traded in my afternoon nap for fabric & pattern shopping with my daughter. She was thrilled, but I'm cranky. :-) Bedtime is near and tomorrow is a holiday from work with lots of house cleaning to do!

Today's weigh in was not so good when I normally see a 1lb loss weekly. I must have been a slacker last week... LOL.

Weight 9/4/11 - 160.6

Weigh-in time! Please post your weight here or send me a message. Thanks!

OK back from our mini-vacation and for day 1 and 2 I am over on water, under on calories and bushman exercise done. I took today as my rest day since we spent most of it driving
Yesterday we walked all over Seattle and if you have ever been there you know it's nothing but hills! My buns are burning from the squats and my calves are kicking from the hills. Loving this challenge!

Hi Karrie, That sounds like a great workout. I miss the hills I walked daily when I lived in Germany. I was in really good shape over there, but then didn't have a car most of the time either. :-) ~Cheryl

Day 4 completed Tabata &Bushman:
Water over
Calories way under
Also completed Turbo Fire Core training.

Way to go Kim!

Y'all are rockin' September already, just wait till you see how far you've come when we wrap up this challenge at the end of the month. Wooo Hoooo!!!

Thanks for the update Miranda :-)

is monday our weigh in day every week then? i randomly weighed myself yesterday and was at no change from my first weigh in, so still 171.6 for me. but it's also only been a few days, so! i'm hoping by the end of this week to have at least a half pound drop from that!

and sorry for my lack of updates! got carried away this weekend, but i'm itching to get back into the swing of things! and my classes finally start up this week so i'll be on more of a routine schedule which will really help me.

saturday 9/03: completed the pygmy series workouts, was over calories, and under water.
sunday 9/04: did not complete my last day of exercises, over calories, over water.

i'll be back later to report for today! sorry for my slackin everyone! going to give it my all from here on out so i don't fail myself or this team

You're going to do great Liz! Yes, Monday is the official weigh in day. I typically weigh on Saturday or Sunday and that's my report.

Hi Everyone. Just finished cleaning up from my family bbq to unofficially end summer. My kids go back to school tomorrow. I kind of wimped out today and did the pygmy challenges - 1 minute bear walk, 100 Jumping Jacks, 50 Crunches, 25 Split Squats and a 1.5 mile walk. I am over on my water for today and under for my calories.

I have a question - don't I always? I see the extra challenge this week is a 5k and our team gets a point for every 5k run this week. I typically run at least a 5k 3 times a week. I'm thinking this challenge would be then to run an additional 5k and I can't count the runs I normally do? Is that correct? I'm on vacation from work this week and I probably will run every day but thought I would check in first to see how this would work. If I'm gonna run extra I want our team to be able to get the extra points.

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!!!!

Hi Merri, that's correct, it's a 5K in addition to what you already do. For me, I've only been able to walk/jog an occasional 5K and I had the very best of intentions of doing one this morning, however, I completed my 2-mile walk/run in my best time ever and I was so tired, I couldn't go another mile... especially since I still had the daily exercises to complete. Since tomorrow is strength training I should be able to complete a 5K .. it's my goal anyways.

Questions are good. It's how we learn.
