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

Exercises - done
Water - good
Calories - good

ready for the weekend already.... well sorta.... gotta work Saturday and it's normally an off day. *sigh*

Good night all.

Sorry I didn't check in last night! I took it as my day off but still ran/walked to burn off some Chinese buffet calories! LOL. My parents came up last night and I couldn't resist when they mentioned it I entered in some calories but I'm sure I ate more than it says I did on here

Can we get an extra point for a mile that I did? I've been doing the bushman challenges to push myself but my body is not up to the level of a 3K...I've also had an ongoing cramp feeling in my side for a couple of weeks every time I try to walk or run, even in the grocery store! Anyone know what this could be? I've been trying to push through the pain but it gets so bad it takes my breath.

Miranda,

I don't know where you were physically when you started the challenge, but your symptom seems to be due to pushing yourself too hard. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I once had a pain in my side that came from jogging during physical education class. I asked the coach why I was having the pain and she said I was out of shape. As a teenager, it hurt my feelings a bit, but whatever the case, it went away after a break and slowly getting back into the routine.

Take a rest, do some lighter exercises or none at all if need be. You should allow your body a chance to recover from the hard workouts. Make sure you are getting your protein and water. And of course, you may want to talk with your doctor about it. :-)

I'm not a physician, but I've had my share of exercise-related injuries. Please be careful and take care of yourself.

Hugs, Cheryl

Week Three Weekly Team Challenge
Same water and calories challenge plus walk, run, jog 5 miles this week all at once. No break , No stopping!

I was looking at week three and noticed the Pygmy and Bushmen have different team challenges. If we do the 500 crunches and the 5 mile run/walk can our team get points for both? I'm up for doing both but I'm not going to kill myself if we don't get the points for it. :-)

Karrie,

I'll pose the question in the Captain forum and I'll let you know.

Today became an official rest day for me when I fell asleep for a short nap after work and my daughter woke me up at 8pm asking if I was going to eat dinner. I knew I needed some rest, but golly! I work tomorrow. Overtime will be nice and since I'm off work at 12:30 I can get on with my challenges.
