FRIDAY: WORKOUT: 60 minutes circuit training and cardio (7 miles) then I added 60 minutes of moving boxes (although in reality I spent much of the rest of the day doing this - but with some coffee breaks!) - am making that 6 miles (2 miles for each 20 minutes). Total 13 miles Calories burned: according to MFP that is 1166,…

So very sorry to hear this. Thinking of you, your sister and all the family :flowerforyou:

And the Sharks do just keep getting better and better!

THURSDAY: WORKOUT: 32 minutes circuit training + 20 minutes aerobics + 10 minutes lower body workout. Total 62 minutes and 7 miles. Calories burned: 608 (31 miles done. Another 9 to go to my goal! ) REPS: 50 sit-ups (just can't help myself :laugh: ) STRETCHING: Did my 10 minutes FRUIT / VEG: 5 servings SPREADSHEET UPDATED…

Enjoy that first place position for just a couple more days Tigers, because the SHARKS are circling and getting ready to dislodge you!:bigsmile:

Today's motivation from me:

@ Pam - it seems you can put off that weigh in for another 24 hours if you want :laugh: SHERI POSTED THIS: ELIMINATION CHALLENGERS - Slight change this week and next....Because of the holidays...etc....You have an extra day this week to completed the challenge and the miles (points week will remain the same) - TALK to your…

:love: :heart: :love: :heart: this!

WEDNESDAY: WORKOUT: 61 minutes running - 5 actual miles (but I only need 1 more there - so counting 1 actual mile and 4 workout miles!) Calories burned: 637. (I have now got to my Nan's house and am on my way back to my parents - 24 down, 16 more to go :noway: Only wish this was "real" and that I had just been able to pay…

LOL - in fact the vodka and watermelon (very nice if you ever want to try it!) was last night (Tuesday!) and the run was this morning (Wednesday)! So MAYBE that's the secret! Have a drink the evening before you plan a big PB run :laugh: Not sure race officials would agree with me there :ohwell:

And my encouragement for today is just to KEEP GOING! You are all doing so well! Splurge days been not so negative, MANY miles being covered, lots of fruit and veg being consumed and even fences being built :laugh: (It's looking GREAT Nonna!) If you do need a little more encouragement, then I want to repeat Mary's advice…

TUESDAY: WORKOUT: 32 minutes of circuits and 20 minutes of aerobics = 52 minutes of vigourous activity = 6 miles. Then continued straight on with cardio and lower body reps for 10 minutes - so another mile there. TOTAL 7 miles. Calories burned: 608 REPS: 50 sit-ups and 50 reverse curls STRETCHING: 10 minutes done Fruit and…

Yes, she told me (on a previous occasion when we had to do core reps) that you could count ANY sort of reps. So I will add your reps to the chart now.

And I almost forgot my encouragement for today: Here's to lots of sweat Sharks!!! :bigsmile:

You are all so fabulous! Love the distances you are all travelling this week :love: :flowerforyou: @ Nonna - that fence is looking superb! Can't wait to see a finished photo (and I'm sure you can't either!) Love how this is building up all your muscles as well as helping you to get your miles in. I agree with Mary - you…

SUNDAY: WORKOUT: 30 minutes of circuit training and 30 minutes on elliptical. I didn't look at the actual miles done, so I am counting this as a total of 60 minutes of vigourous exercise. I think that equates to at least 7 miles? Someone please confirm this for me! I calculated it as 50 minutes = 6 miles, and then I have…

Thanks for all your answers to my questions! I think I will say yes to looking after my friend's elliptical - it certainly made me work and maybe I will grow to like it :noway: I have no idea about the resistance/incline! Will have to get her to talk me through all that. I think she presumed that since I exercise regularly…

I just put the following comments on my status and under my exercise update, but want to post it here too (with a little more info added!) to see what my Shark friends think. I just used an elliptical machine for the very first time! (No gyms over here! But have an American friend who has one! In fact same American friend…

(And Congrat's to those Tigers too :happy: ) Hope everyone has another fantastic week. I know we all like a bit of trash talk, but secretly I think everyone…

Well people are posting some lovely looking food on our page! Perhaps they realise we are the ones to fear! WE CAN DO THIS SHARKS! Let's determine to get through this weekend with as little "damage" as possible :laugh: My motivation for today:

SPREADSHEET UPDATED TO HERE! All looking great so far! I am off out for the rest of the day, so will look in too see how you have all done when I get back. Pam is very kindly taking care of the weigh ins today. Thank you Pam :flowerforyou: Here's to a great start to your weekend Sharks! :drinker:

Good work Mary and Melissa! Mary - any loss is good :bigsmile: and Melissa - only a 0.5 lb gain when TOM is around is also great! Well done Sharks! Pam - WEIGHTS ENTERED TO HERE! Over to you now :happy:

Weekends are always my hardest time for controlling my food intake, so today's "encouragement" is more to remind myself than anyone else! Have a wonderful weekend Shark pals!

WEEK 6 WEIGH IN: 172.8 lbs. (DOWN 1.3 lbs :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: ) I'll take that! Hope the scale smiles for all of you too :love:

Thanks for the correction - changed on the chart! And yes, this week did feel tough. I think it is because we are almost at the half way stage ... the initial enthusiasm is waning slightly and yet the end still seems so far off! BUT WE DID IT! Well done for getting through it! Take a well deserved day of rest tomorrow, and…

You rock Nonna! I know this is a tough time for you but you are hanging in there! WELL DONE for all you HAVE managed to get in this week. Yes it helps - and not just in terms of the team. Hopefully it is helping you too :flowerforyou: Keep being positive, and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. And I hope that…
