    YES!!!! Starbucks has great LONG straws and I also found some at Kroger...9 inches is a great size....won't get lost down the water bottle!:smile:

    Thanks for the Kroger tip. I've only been able to find long straws at the smoothie place. :smile:

    It seems I pulled something in my neck and I'm going to blame it on last night's push ups. It woke me up during the night last night. I'll be taking a pain reliever if it gets too bad.

    I knew I wouldn't have time for exercise with work, commute, cooking, & church and no energy after all of that.

    Calories & water good.

    I'll have to make up today's challenge exercise tomorrow night.

    I did today's bushmen, tabata, under calories and met my water. I also did another tabata and bushmen to make up for missing yesterday. Doing 2 days back to back is a real workout.

    i am so sorry, team!!! i feel like such a let down! with this week being a CRAZY busy week for me, and coming down with a cold the last 2 days i have just been completely worn out and definitely slacking :(

    however! this little 48 hour cold i seem to have feels like it's well on it's way out of my body, and i've gotten a LOT more caught up on my school work, so i'm definitely feeling good about powering through the rest of the week!

    monday 9/19:
    calories: under
    water: over
    no challenge done

    tuesday 9/20:
    calories: under
    water: over
    no challenge done

    wednesday 9/21:
    calories: over
    water: over
    no challenge done

    SO sorry again!!! balancing life & eating right/exercising is definitely something i'm constantly working on improving!

    I did the same thing last week! I wasn't sure if it was the push-ups or crunches that did it for me but OUCHIE!

    Hi,

    I'm very proud of myself today. I had been fearful of running on the treadmill but today I conquered that fear. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill without falling as it was very foggy and dark at work this morning and I didn't think it would be safe to run outdoors. I also finally was able to garner the strength to do the bushmen workout. So, for today 9/22:

    bushmen and tabata - done
    calories - under
    water - over

    I am so grateful that tomorrow is Friday - it has been a LONG week.

    Good night!!

    Water & calories okay, though I'd like to be less hungry during certain times of the month.

    Did strength training & a little of the calisthenics, but not completely caught up. I'm hoping for at least one high energy day this weekend. Maybe I can get all caught up Saturday.

    I feel like the little train and needing to repeat to myself, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..... "

    **** DEAR TNT CREW **** putting aside my whiny moment, I want for each of you to know I'm thrilled you are sticking it out and making great changes for yourselves by pushing through and challenging your bodies :bigsmile:

    Sorry everyone but didn't do so good today. Spent most of it out with family and went over calories and not enough water. I didn't do the challenge workout but hope to make it up by doing two days tomorrow.

    Weigh in: 158.0 (no change from last weigh-in, but likely due to water retention)... so nice :grumble: (the little grumble emoticon made me giggle).
