Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't get to check in yesterday - ended up doing two days of exercises today and I'm whooped. Those globe jumps are too much for my knees though so I have to change it up. Did the advanced each time so far - planning to do the same this week!
All missions accomplished yesterday - excited to get started on this week's exercises tomorrow!0 -
I'm back! We had a great time, but I am happy to get back to a work out routine. I'm ready to hit the gym! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
Oh, and mission accomplished, but it was hard. Especially the water. Drinking a lot of water meant long walks to the bathroom. Not a good thing when camping in a tent!0 -
I did 2 miles yesterday and 100 JJ yesterday. I didn't do everything yesterday. But, I burned some cals!! :00
-

So yeah....LOOOONNNNNGGGG day.....and then I have to go home and deal with my Mother-in-law....what a week so far...keep me in your thoughts ladies,.,,
Ok, enough whining around....hope that you all are having a better week than myself! Keep up that hard work and dedication! Lets keep kicking butt ladies!!0 -
Honestly I have been going all over the place with my challenges. Doesn't week 2 start on Thursday? I am confused.0

Bushman COMPLETE! WHOO HOO!!!!
YAY! My first day of bushman and I rocked it! WHOO HOO!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Food diary: COMPLETE
10 cups of water : COMPLETE
under calorie goals : COMPLETE
An overall great day!!! YAY!0 -
Day 2 - 3 sets of 15 Swimmer’s Presses, 3 sets of 21’s, 3 sets of 15 Dumbbell Chest Fly’s, 3 Sets of 15 Lawnmowers, 3 sets of Tricep Kickbacks, 3 sets of 15 Woodchops, 20 Pushups (modified if needed)
mission accomplished. I did 4 real push ups and the other 16 "girl" pushups. That was brutal - just a few years ago I did 55 "real" pushups without stopping and now 4 is really hard. I only can get better, I know!
Tuesday - 12 cups of water, under calories, food diary complete (and super honest with all the crap I ate).
p.s. I hit mini goal #3 today (214.6) and am 24 days ahead of "schedule" although you can't really schedule these things. I guess I'll say 24 days ahead of my goal date for this goal weight! I know it's because these challenges keep me moving and your encouragement means so much! THANK YOU!0 -
Missions Accomplished for Day 1 and Day 2
2 miles done0 -
Honestly I have been going all over the place with my challenges. Doesn't week 2 start on Thursday? I am confused.
Week 2 started on Monday. Week one just consisted of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We rested and weighed in on Sunday and Started week 2 on Monday.0 -
We just had a short week during Week One because September started Midweek. So, here is what your schedule looks like for this week.
Monday (Day 1) and so on...now if you take a rest day through the week, then you pick up where you left off. Monday was my rest day, so Tuesday was Day 1 for me.Honestly I have been going all over the place with my challenges. Doesn't week 2 start on Thursday? I am confused.0 -
For everyone doing the Bushmen (Advanced Series) please forgive me, but I was remiss in posting your small excerpt! Thanks Em for bringing it to my attention before the end of the week.
The extra mile walk on Days 1, 3 and 5 are for the Pygmy people and we get extra points for every DAY (not mile) that we do over and above the series' requirements. HOWEVER...
The Bushmen Series is providing points for the following:
Week Two Weekly Team Challenge
Same water and calories challenge plus Walk, Run or Jog a 5K this week. For each day you do a 5K (3.1
miles your team will get an additional bonus point. 1 point per day per participant)
So whatever you can do...is appreciated. Again, I apologize, but I thought I had copied everything. Inbox me with any questions or concerns.0 -
I will not be on as much as usual...will try to keep shadowing you all on the challenges...but cannot promise anything.
You all rock and I know you will kick some BOO-TAY !!!
I will try to check in once a day.:bigsmile:0 -
I have been going all over the place but I will pick up where you all are. At least I lost 1 lbs doing it! LolWe just had a short week during Week One because September started Midweek. So, here is what your schedule looks like for this week.

SO we are supposed to do the bushmen and a 5k this week ? Sorry...I am a little confused over this...LOL0 -
I'm reporting my first mission failed since August 1st I stayed under calories, logged, and drank my water yesterday, but last night while I was doing my circuit of the Bushman (I do 5 rounds of 10-20 reps per exercise, however many are required) I thought I was going to throw up. I think I did the workout too soon after dinner (it had been 1.5 hours) and I just felt so ill I couldn't keep going. So I stopped after 2.5 rounds, halfway short of completion for the day. I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
Emily, don't beat yourself up about it! We are here to support each other, not berate you for missing a point. We have all missed a point (or two) throughout this challenge, but together as a group we are strong. Take it as a lesson learned and move on.
I hope that you are feeling better and are ready to bring it today! Go Chisulo!0 -
Challenges Complete for today and yesterday, though they were just the regular challenges...sorry guys...its been a SUPER busy week for me....I am hoping to have a breathing chance next week! WOW!
All things complete so far this week, food diary, under calorie goal, water intake, exercise...just havent been able to log as much as I would like to! :frown: Hope that you are all doing well and keeping up with things!! :bigsmile:0 -
I don't think I posted, but my missions are complete. I was too excited about doing the 5k's. I plan on getting another one in today. Woo Hoo!! Go Team!
Tomorrow I am going to attempt Zumba. My nine year old daughter is going to kick my butt, but it will be fun to do it with her. She's looking forward to it.0 -
36:30! That's 3 - 5k's in the books for me this week!0
-
Ivy - you're a BEAST!!! 3 X 5Ks this week??? you are more than pulling your weight! And a personal thank you from me about my "failure" the other night - I appreciated the kind words because I did feel terribly about quitting!
Mission accomplished for Thursday 9/8 and so far today - trying to tell myself I want to go swim after work, and it's not working hahaha...
Have a good weekend everyone!0 -
Mission accomplished for Friday and Saturday - I didn't get in any extra 5Ks this week. Sorry y'all But I did do bushman series every day (but Wednesday when I stopped halfway through) and got in my water and stayed under calories.
Set a new goal to be under 200 by Thanksgiving - 13lbs away and I think I can do it. Y'all are a big help!!0 -
Mission Accomplished for Thursday and Friday. Sorry took off Saturday. Too much celebrating and still paying for it today. Will be back on my game tomorrow.0
-
My Saturday was good, but can I just say that Zumba and I do not mesh. Must be because I am very uncoordinated. I'm actually looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow morning. Hope I didn't just curse myself!0
-
mission accomplished Sunday and Monday! I'm worn out already and it's just Tuesday...will be traveling this weekend to Baltimore so I need to be sure I'm on my game during the first part of the week!0
