First weeks challenge:
Since our first weigh in is two weeks into the contest the challenge will be the same for those weeks to get everyone on the same track and to start getting rid of those holiday pounds, also if you haven't been weighing be sure to get me your final weight as of 12.31.2011 so I can update the spreadsheet.
Week 1/2 Challenge:
Water:
We're aiming to get in at least 64 oz of water a day the more the better but at least the minimum of 64 oz and that will increase in coming weeks.
Nutrition Challenge:
Fruits and veggies are natural detoxifiers so our two week goal is to include at least one fruit or vegetable with EVERY meal, and at least once a week to try a new fruit or vegetable.

are we limited to just the fruits and veggies listed?0
-
NO we aren't limited. She was just offering ideas.
I am trying to find some fruit or veggies I haven't tried yet. We are a family that walks into the store and if we see a fruit we haven't tried bring it home just to see what it tastes lol.0 -
Do we have to report our water and fruit/veggie intake everyday for this challenge on the forum or to the Team Captain, or just put it in our diary?0
-
That is a good question. Maybe we need a spreadsheet so we can easily check in but not have to bombard the captain with all the info.
I did make my diary public though. I figured for this challenge you can all see I am eating my fruits and veggies. Well if you want to check on me. You will also notice that I don't like to much.

For the fruit and veggie check in and water that will be on the first weigh in, basically you can post daily as to what you are eating if you would like but I don't need the actual stats until our next weigh in on january 12.
The format for the first weigh in will look something like this:
Starting:
weight as of 1/12/2011
Percentage lost:
Burpees total if participating
Water:
goal: 64 oz
Reached how many out of 12 days
Fruit/Veggies:
Goal: to add one to each meal so to count you will need to have at least a min of 3 servings of fruits or veggies per day
Reached how many out of 12 days
For the burpees as well as a team I thought a good challenge would be to start with 5 burpees on Monday and then add 5 more every day until we hit weigh in:
Monday: 5 Burpees
Tuesday: 10 Burpees
Wednesday: 15 Burpees etc.
Link if you have a question on how to do burpees, and keep in mind for the pushup portion you can do modified(from the knees pushups)

If anyone has any questions feel free to message me or our co captain Kerrimx5.
Happy new year everyone!0 -
I will try with the burpees but I know I might have issues and we have one other team member also post op that can't do them yet. I am going to try though. It might not be so bad. I am feeling much better.0
-
If you can't do them that's ok I think they're optional, so y'all rest up
What is everyone doing as far as working out?
In addition to the burpee challenge, I'm starting Power 90 today.0 -
Do to Blood Sugar issues I do not have a fruit at breakfast (and I can't seem to eat any veggies then, either). However I will eat at least 3 servings of veggies a day (usually 1 at lunch and 2 at dinner).
Thanks for your understanding!!!0 -
Sounds like a good plan on the fruit. It isn't like you aren't going to get them in during the day.
Got my workout in for today. Yeah. One fruit down and 32 ounces of water. It is now 11.0 -
LOL I tried my first burpee last night on the kitchen floor, couldn't do the push up, fell, slammed my knee! I'm fine but I laid on the floor laughing like a hyena and rolling around like a dork. My goal is to do one burpee without needing crutches!! LOL0

i cant do the blurpees either since recovering from wrist surgery so any push up is out of the question. instead im doing jumping jacks just for my self since i cant work out to my work out videos that use push ups and weights0 -
