    Yay!! Did my walking/running challenge this morning plus a spinning class! I was going to do my exercises this morning but got super nauseous halfway through spinning and it was all I could do to make it home without getting sick. Will do the exercises as soon as my tummy settles!

    Hi Everyone!!! I thought there was no way for me to do those exercises (yes, I had to watch the video cause I didn't know what they were!) but I did them and they weren't too bad!! I had heard of planking but never really understood it before! WOW!!

    I had actually signed on be in the Challenger group but was placed with you guys and I have decided to stay where I am!!!

    Hope everyone has a great day!!! I am going for two miles today, definitely will probably have to run, walk, run but I will see it through!!

    Missy_Snipes, did I put you on the wrong team? I'm so sorry. It's been kinda hectic these last couple of days. :noway: Please let me know if you want me to switch you to CHALLENGERS - I don't want you to feel "overwhelmed" by week 3 or 4 or so. My mistake - again, I apologize.

    You OLYMPIANS are doing AWESOME!! :love: I love it!!

    Tessanharris - you are doing a TERRIFIC job coaching this team as well as "watching" that spreadsheet for me - thanks so much girl!! :flowerforyou:

    I just wanted you guys to know that your exercise challenges are the same as the CHALLENGERS team, but YOUR team also has an additional challenge or two on top of what they are required to do.

    Also, I plan to bump you guys up a notch (challenge-wise) on weeks #2, #4, and #9 - so expect GREAT things!!!!

    I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! :smokin:

    you can post your own points in the spreadsheet, you don't have to wait on me to do it...with so many team members and categories, I am sure to mess something up and I don't want to shortchange anybody!

    Great day!

    Exercises Done!
    Under Calorie Goal!
    14 Glasses of water!
    6.5 miles!

    Can I go ahead and make a suggestion that if you have a zero value for a certain category, you enter a "0" instead of leaving it blank? Assuming, of course, that zero can be entered as a value :) I don't want to waste my time or yours seeking people out for points that aren't filled in, if you left them blank on purpose! Thanks all!

    Hi!! I'm not one to check the 'group' pages much... I wish it would send email notifications when someone posts back to you or something. :) And the strands get confusing when they get really long so I tend to be a browser not a poster. But here i am!! Those lower ab roll overs were killer today!! I DO have a question....

    So tomorrow we are supposed to go 2 miles in ADDITION to our normal distance challenges. My challenge is to go 2 miles/day. So tomorrow I will do a total of 4 miles.... in the 'miles' part of the spreadsheet will I put 4 or just 2? Please advise... :)
