Week 5 Beginner/Michonne Cardio: 230/110 Strength: 85/60 Calories: Yes! Punishment: Yes Challenge: Yes

Wow, from all the comments it appears our team is on fire this week! I am already over cardio and strength (yay! for not waiting until the last minute to do strength!) so if anybody is short I will be happy to donate. All I have left to do this week is two more rounds of the punishment. I am taking it easy today because I…

Me too! Last night after attempting the day's planks, I announced in a loud voice, "Kids, I am sorry to announce that this year, Planksgiving has been canceled." They laughed. They can do planks better than I can. I am going to keep going the best I can, but there are a couple poses that require me to balance on one leg…

1. Be like Tara: take the time to encourage a friend or a stranger on their fitness journey. I checked in with a friend I haven't talked to in awhile after she posted a picture of herself doing a half-marathon (walking). I sent her an encouraging supportive message and suggested we sign up for a 5K run together soon. 2. Be…

Thanks for the update. Wow! That gives me a lot more to think about. Perhaps it IS Carol behind him in the bushes after all? And he's just acting weird because he knows he needs to break the news to Maggie about Beth, if it was Beth's body? Argh, too many possibilities!! I need to just get it out of my mind and not think…

Aw, I missed it! What happened?

Week 4 - Beginner - Michonne Cardio: 275/100 Strength: 55/55 Calories: Yes Challenge: Yes (Carol) Punishment: Yes

Oh wow, I hadn't thought of it that way. So do the sequence 25 times, like I did, but then do THAT 4 more times? So basically do the whole sequence 125 times in all.

I am always confused with the sets, reps, etc. In the Jillian Michaels butt video, she shows us a sequence of 5 moves and then tells us she wants us to do "25 of those, 5 sets". So.... I do the whole sequence 25 times? Or does one sequence equal a set and then I only do the sequence 5 times (5 sequences 5 times equals 25)?…

I did the physical fitness test in the Carol portion of this week's challenge, and as per instructions I am sharing the results with my team. Run one mile: 10:52 Push-ups to fail: 17 Squats to fail: 57 Plank to fail: 19 seconds Stretch: 3-1/2 inches I am pleased with all the results except the plank. I haven't done a plank…

In my opinion it doesn't matter if a scale is accurate. What matters is that you use the SAME scale every time, at the SAME time of day, wearing approximately the SAME amounth of clothes (or none at all). Only then can you track your progress.

And this is why I love threads like this. Different people see the exact same episode in a totally different way, and these discussions really make me think about things. Thanks for addressing my points. Your opinion on the timing and the involvement of Daryl/Carol seems to make the most sense, I really like it. I thought…

I think the theories about Carol are good ones, especially the fact that maybe she purposely got caught in order to get into the hospital. Then again, think about the timing of all that. Daryl and Carol were only gone for about 24 hours before Daryl (at least) returned. Maybe he returned to get help to storm the hospital,…

Beginner - Michonne Cardio - 240/90 Strength - 55/50 Character - Yes Punishment - n/a Calories - Yes

I am way over on cardio this week thanks to my daughter's birthday; she wanted to go to SkyZone, which is one of those indoor trampoline places. I slept good that night! Still not there on strength but once I do tonight's workout I'll be over goal. And hopefully I'll do more tomorrow so I'll have some to spare and share.

I like both of those, great finds, Bmercy21 ! We will need them both for the future, because we will be victorious each week. ;-) However, when we eventually assign the second one (the kettleball workout) we may have to specify reps/sets or whatever they're called because it doesn't really say how long or how many times to…

I have never paid attention to my protein before this week and our challenge. I reset my goals to 112g a day because my lean body fat is supposedly 109 pounds, and looking at my past numbers I am nowhere near that. I thought I ate a lot of meat! Today was good, I had bacon and eggs for lunch (mmmm, I could get used to that…

This. ^ I find it hard to believe Eugene is the key to saving the world. Supposedly he knows the cure, or something, and he's trying to get to DC. From what little I remember when we first met him, he had previously still been in contact with the folks in DC via satellite phones or something, but then DC recently stopped…

Ha! Me too, totally! I cried when Daryl and Carol were reunited, but when Rick & Carl got Judith back, meh.

Good points. Maybe it's Carol who is leading/carrying Beth. Maybe, as someone above said, Beth has lost her memory, or her mind, and they had to basically kidnap her to get her back to the group. Argh!!!! It's only Tuesday. It's going to be a long week for me. :-) Oh, and SaraAlexadre, I agree with you about Glen and…

Okay I know I shouldn't read too much into this, but AMC just tweeted that Emily Kinney (Beth) will be on Talking Dead on Sunday. Obviously that doesn't always mean that character will die, but I've got a funny feeling about this one. I haven't read any of the comics but here's my theory about what they'll do next week:…

Well, she got her sword back!

I don't know what to think. He was acting strangely. Why sneak up through the woods? And then when he sees Michonne, why just stand there waiting for her to talk? At first, when he didn't say anything, I thought maybe he'd been bitten and turned. But AMC knows better than to do that to us. Not sure about the Morgan theory.…

Week 2: Beginner Team Michonne Cardio: 175/80 Strength: 45/45 Character Challenge: Yes Calorie Goal: Yes Punishment: Yes

Hey everyone! So happy to see all these enthusiastic teammates. This challenge is so awesome for motivation. I am done with all my goals. I did the punishment twice and the Team Michonne challenge three times, plus some abs work. I am right at 45 minutes for the strength. I have 30 extra minutes of cardio, and I'm going on…

You must be on Team Bob. (sorry, couldn't resist)

I agree about wanting more info about how the disease transmits, how it started, and all that. That part of zombie stories always fascinates me. I keep wondering if Eugene really knows anything or if he's making it up just to stay protected. I haven't read the comics so I have no insight on that. As for strength training,…

That's a good thought. At least I hope that's the case. I'm still not sure if eating an infected leg will make someone turn, but I sure hope so. I hate those termites! They are the worst people yet in this entire show, I'll take 100 Governors over one of them.

Except that we're all infected, so I don't know if him getting bit makes a difference.

I agree, I liked Bob too, and I feel bad about laughing but Bob-B-Q and Shish KaBob and all that are pretty funny, you gotta admit. I was wondering why he was outside crying in the first place. My husband thinks he got bit while they were in the water in the food bank. I think maybe so too, but you would think they'd have…
