    Difficult week back at work and testing for a new job, while DD wants to pledge for a Sor and sends me to Parent Orientation..
    it was fun but very draining this whole week.

    I decided I like exercising on summer vacation instead, when I have all the time in the world to exercise and enjoy it, instead of relying on the last few bits of strength and energy I have for the day.. *grunting and groaning*

    Stats


    Pygmy Tribal Week 2/Day 5
    72oz H2O under Cals
    1 minute bear walk 1 min
    100 Jumping Jacks 3.5 min
    50 Crunches 1 min
    25 Split Squats 3.5 min
    1.5 mile walk 40 min
    .5 mile walk more 10 min
    20 pushups 1 min

    I dont know what DD or Sor is, but I am sorry you had a draining week. I hope you keep with it and stay encouraged. I have had a different opinion of what this week would look like too but I am trudging along... we shall get out of this trench together? I am up for it if you are! :flowerforyou:

    I'm w/ ya Monica about summer vacation exercising vs trying to fit it in once work starts.. I was on vacation the week that this challenge started, and now being back to work makes me also feel drained when it comes time to exercise. And now, Humana has basically given us Mandatory Overtime.. luckily they've opened that up for us to be able to also work on Sundays, so since that's our "free" day for the challenge, I think I'm gonna make those days my "OT pump" days. LOL Then I won't have the anxiety throughout the week of trying to do OT and exercise, AND find time to spend w/ the kids and their homework! LOL.. ahh the joys of life I guess! :)

    Keep it up ladies, we're all doing so good!

    How are you all doing this week??? Ready for week 3?
    Its been a week since I got all my crappy news - but its getting better since. We celebrated my moms birthday tonight - it was nice to have everyone there (all my siblings, their spouses, their kids, my parents and grandparents) We dont all get together often (maybe Christmas only)
    My sister has lost some weight to - and had some clothes to get rid of - so my and my one sister in law rooted thru them. I was amazed - I fit into two pairs of size 16 pants!!! They were snug - but they went on and I got them done up!!! I got a few nice shirts too. My sister and both of my sister in laws are all about 5'1 or 5'2 - so being that I fit into the same clothes as my sister in law - and that my sister used to wear made me feel great (im 5'7).

    Relax and kick-back - for it all starts again on Monday!!

    Just wanted to share with you - whilst other teams have had vast amounts of members dropping out because of lack of motivation/illness/injusry etc - WE - TEAM JUNGLE JEWELS -

    To add to Jules' comments about the challenge and our team.....unless you'd been on a team kinda like ours last month, you have NO IDEA how awesome those stats are!!! You all are SO GREAT!! We had half our team drop off...of the half that was left, only about half were REALLY into the challenge....so frustrations for the half that were actually DOING it were mounting as the month went by. By the end of the month, even *I* was looking more forward to finishing that month and getting on with our new challenge, because I could tell that you all were going to be great! This month, nobody has let ANYbody down on this team - in fact, everyone seems to still be SO "in the game" and there's only two weeks left!! Our team is AWESOME!!!

    Thanks to you all for making this painless, fun, and ROCKIN'!!!!! Hugs to you all!!

    Jules, Jill and all our Jungle Jewels,

    Thank you for being such a great inspiration and example. I think it's time I step it up and do as you do. Your results are amazing and CONGRATULATIONS!:flowerforyou:

    Today I weigh in at 214.6 and I look forward to next week ... as tired as I am.. lol.. Since this is the first time I've exercised in about 25 years. But when I started in June I started by walking, swimming, and bike riding. It's time to LIFT THE SPEAR and hunt down "fatty" because I WILL WIN THIS BATTLE!

    Hugs to everyone and a toast to your success! :drinker:
