Black Team Week 12

So Marla you can beat me NOW! I haven't gotten my push ups in today and I am getting ready to go to bed. I had a very hard work day! My Back hurts tonight. A whole lot of heavy lifting but today has been the best production day we have ever had so that is my MAJOR positive for the day! Money should be better this week. If my back wasn't bothering me tonight I would re-consider doing them but tomorrow I will get them done. Like Jeannie says, on the wall, in the hall, on the floor or on a door! LOL!! I sound like Dr. Suess, just like you Jeannie!! LOL!! Sorry can you tell I'm tired??

Sam, Lori, and Tamara-I hope you all have a great vacation!

Andrew-You are such a sweet man and Beth is lucky to have you!! I'm sure she misses you just as much as you do her.

Have a great night everyone and I hope to catch you all back here tomorrow evening!! GOODNIGHT!!

Hi guys. I'm here. Computer change over at work sucks. My computer also died So, when I do have a few minutes I can't even check in here. New hard drive coming tomorrow. :drinker: Woohoo!! Hopefully I'll get caught up enough by the end of this week and know what I'm doing enough to screw around a little again. Get those stupid combines out in the field so people will quit buying chemicals already guys!! Chop chop. :laugh:

Still on a maintain. But still hanging in there. Stress will go down someday. I promise it will! Probably not until they finish fixing my water problem!! But it will go away.

'Night black team. Oh, sorry. No pushups for this chicka today. I suppose I'll be tarred an feathered now. *sigh* Such a life!

Sounds good........I heard doing this gets you toned arms in no time!!!

I'm home and I"m happy. In case anyone is not a facebook sleeze (hahah) like the rest of us here is a couple of pictures of this awesome waterfall hubby and I happened on....





So, I got to whitewater raft, and the water was BIG, massive waves!

I am not a strong swimmer but I decided to live the experience, and I swam one of the little rapids. I jumped off of a rock into the river about 12 twelve foot feet in the air (I've never even dove off a diving board before, freaky!) We did a little "surfing" and almost fell out of the boat but I managed to stay in the entire time. It was sooo awesome!!!!

looks like so much fun Lynnie!!
I LOVE water falls....DH makes sure to find one for me everywhere we go. Once we were in Disney World, the flatest place on earth, and he found one for me........fake, but a waterfall none the less:laugh:

Hello my team-- Private Pushups reporting for duty--

Renae and MTGirl-- no beatings, tar and feathers or harassment from me-- your own flabby arms shall be your punishment-- ha.

seriously-- whose freakin' idea was this anyway?

Crazy day, and I'm fixin' to hit the hay when I remembered the pushups-- just did 50 of 'em-- 10-10-5-12-13-- youch.

Nibbled too much tonight-- good foods, nothing bad for me, just outside my calories-- have to cut out a few carbs tomorrow and watch it closely. Doggone it--

Later, my team-- off to snoozeville.

:grumble: did em at work:grumble:

:smooched: :smooched:

Wednesday's pushups got done. Barely. I too, like Marla, nearly went to bed without them. Literally jumped out of bed and started doing them on the floor next to the bed. DH thought I'd lost my mind. I said, "What? I forgot my pushup challenge." Can't do full form, but I rocked out 20 in a row, took a quick break and finished that set of 25. Then did about 15. Arms were screaming, took another rest and finished it up. I really underestimated how hard that would be.

Morning all. Great pics Lynnie- gotta hit facebook to see the rest.

Jeannie- you are such a bright and shiny person- it! Don't forget bench (or couch or chair) dips- like a backward pushup in case you don't know:

They are great for triceps and chest. One of my gym friend does like 80 a day and her triceps are starting to rock!

Marla- no pushups yet. I will live in the land of flabby arms and know if I just listened to you things would be so different...... :laugh: Actually, I hit the gym and weights a lot, so I'm not feeling too guilty.

Jeannie's goal is to rock out 10 full out pushups, I have a desire to be able to do pullups. I think I can do....... drumroll.......zero. There was a girl at the gym the other day who grabbed the bar and cranked out at least 10 beautiful pull ups. My mouth was hanging open and I just stared at her. (B!tch. :laugh:) Kidding! I only wish.

There is a need at the gym to 'outdo' others. It keeps me motivated.

I would love to be able to do a pull up. In high school, I think I could do one. And, that was when we could do them with our palms facing us. Then, they switched it so that we had to do them with our palms facing away. Was able to do 0 then. Then they said we could choose to hang with our chin above the bar. I think I lasted about 30 seconds. One pull up. That's all I'm asking. Doesn't even matter which way my palms are facing.

That pic is perfect! I did 3 sets of 15 last night!!! Funny you bring it up today!!

It is a rocking tricep exercise.......and can be done anywhere!!

Good afternoon everyone

I walked/ran 8 miles this morning and 100 crunches and a workout for 20 minutes burning 973 calories fixin to do my push ups now, I could not run as much as I did yesterday and monday my hip is hurting me.

I am leaving for GA tomorrow, yay going to get my boy, alittle nervous though because I will be out of comfort zone at home I know I have everything I need. There I will not have a scale my food my exercise place, where am I gonna walk at least we will only be gone for a little bit back home sunday afternoon so if I run tomorrow before we leave and run when we get home sunday then sat is the only day I will be missing anyways.

So we will see if I MIA for a few days you know where I am . Maybe I could walk to GA ( LOL) Ok maybe thats a little obsessive. Maybe I wil ride in the van with everyone else.

Have a great off to do my push ups and then off to cook lunch for darling daughter.!!!! She is always starving, I guess if she would have ate her breakfast she wouldnt be so hungrey for lunch. I am mean aint I???

Tamara- did you up your calorie intake to maintain? Just wondering.... in case I ever get there......

No I havent yet, I just got back down to goal weight since I splurged on my birthday anniversary and goal weight dinner, I am sorta scared to...

I didn't put my makeup on for the pic, but thanks! :noway: (Don't I wish!)

Those are great exercises and I feel them every time I do them, they kick my butt, however, I love them for that very reason.

:laugh: Your too funny!!

We is HOTTER than that:glasses:

If my legs were JUST that long!

Challenge report, I did my 50 for yesterday and will be doing my 50 for today in a few. I tried the reverse push ups last night and while they were hard they made the ole triceps take notice. No turkey arms on me, they have to go.

Renae and MTGirl-- no beatings, tar and feathers or harassment from me-- your own flabby arms shall be your punishment-- ha.

seriously-- whose freakin' idea was this anyway?

Evil Marla. Just evil. :laugh: Yup, they're flabby!! Someday I'll say good-bye to those bat wings!

Got my new hard drive!! WOOHOOOOOOO! I can be on my own computer again. :drinker: I just about got this conversion thing nailed. (knock on wood!) Next week will be better. It had better be better!

hey-- congrats on all the pushups peeps--

I tried the reverse ones-- too hard on my shoulders-- arthritis and old age and all that jazz.

I'll try again another time, though-- make sure they're not possible.

I got my nighttime ones in-- 50 for the day--

Later-- !!!!!!!!!!

Marla..........dips can be done on a very low step, only bring your butt down a little.............the further out your legs are from the step, the harder the movement.

I started with a 6 inch step and my knees under my chin!!
