This will have to be real quick, I need to get out the door.
5 miles run this morning. It was great! Pushed a little more because I know I can go faster I just let myself fall into the slower easier pace.
Banana, plum and granola bar coming with me for a snack.
Make it happen people. Hump day is here and it want's your sweat!
Listen up troops! Today is the day Sarge has chosen to drop the hammer and I suspect a few in the platoon will decide to resign their commission.
Let me re-iterate the rules of this platoon. From page 1 of every new thread we start:
---Don't join if you're gonna bring excuses!
--Don't join if your head isn't in it yet. We'll be here to embrace you with well-toned arms when you're ready.
--Don't join if you're overly sensitive to comments like "step away from the buffet!"
--Don't join if you want to discuss anything other than get this freaking weight off of me! Sarge is type A personality. Reading touchy-feely stuff makes Sarge's eyes bleed!
There are many days when that last rule gets violated here. There are a gazillion other threads on 3FC where those looking for soft support can go and hug it out with the masses.
Perhaps someone reading this right now will finally have had enough of Sarge and start a thread called Sarge is an A** and I want out! Sarge can live with that.
To that end, you all should know that a couple of people will no longer be participating on our thread. I will update the pledge board and all the side challenges on Sunday so if you want out while the getting is good that's ok. If you're missing a friend or two on the thread, PM them and have a great time bashing Sarge.
For the time and energy I put into this thread, I should not be the one putting a muzzle on my mouth. So from now on, this thread is for hardcore people who put in 100% effort every day and are 100% committed to their goals.
WOOOOO HOOOO . . . SARGE is back in the house, now it's really time to rock it out this week . . .
OK, I think it's hotter here, than in ARIZONA . . . C25K (35 min) done with modifications for Warrior Dash . . . don't worry Sarge, I'm logging it ALL ON FITOCRACY . . OH, wait til next week when I can let loose . . .

Sarge - I'm pretty new to the platoon but just want to say it's really refreshing to have someone who doesn't put up with all the bull**** excuses we as humans come up with.
Keep it up!
Happy with my progress this week, weight is coming of, exercise is good!! Lets go team!
See now, these last few posts are THE KIND OF POSTING Sarge lives for!!!!
Keep it up ladies! Sarge off to beat Gooey and Joyful at their own Fitocracy reindeer games!
P.S. to the newcomers...there is a Sarge's No Excuse group on Fitocracy.com where you earn points for exercise and continuously seek to level up. Check it out and join in if it's something that interests you.
Just got out of the shower. Morning workout was a successful and sweaty one. I can't believe I've almost finished c25k.
Josey -- Finished w9d2. Glad to hear you finished week 8! I thought w9d2 was harder than w9d1, but I always seem to find the second workout of the week harder than the first. Maybe because the excitement of starting a new week is gone.
Rated -- Thank you! I am glad things are getting better with him. Glad to hear you're eating well! Keep it up!
I hope everyone has a fantastic day focusing on their fitness!
Also, somebody made a bunch of changes to the spreadsheet this morning (or last night), which resulted in our "platoon total" sheet becoming corrupt. I had to delete it and will spend a few hours today putting it back together. Please do not make any changes other than to your individual page. DO NOT TRY TO CREATE PAGES. If you think something is wrong with your page, if you are new and are not on the sheet yet, or if you are on it and would like to be removed, PLEASE TELL ME.
MadamB - Eeeeesh! I've been seeing the news about the heat wave. Sorry you have to put up with it! It's only 92 here right now (8 am), and only supposed to climb to 110. Not too shabby. And, I'm so jazzed to hear about your Warrior Dash!!!! Wooohoo!!!!
Sarge! Hooray! I for one appreciate the BUTT-er kickings you administer. I didn't lose weight before because I've been pandered to - "You gained weight because muscle weighs more than fat" or "It's okay to have one bad day - we're not perfect" which turns into two bad days, then three, then four....I'm the one who made myself fat, I'm the only one that can make myself thin. I like your kick@ss bootcamp
Reso - I don't think I've congratulated you yet on your newest big victory!!! Way to go! 210 pounds is incredible, be proud!
As for me, I'm working hard this week. There is a pair of shoes that I am craving, but won't be getting until I hit 199. I waaaaaaant them in the worst way. Boxing this morning was hardcore - LOTS of pushups, weighted squats, weighted lunges, suicide runs, and bag work. I'm still all shaky and I got home nearly an hour ago!
Has anyone ever played racquetball before? I'm interested in trying, but don't know if it's a good workout, if I'll hit myself in the face, etc.
C25K (35 min) done with modifications for Warrior Dash . . . don't worry Sarge, I'm logging it ALL ON FITOCRACY . . OH, wait til next week when I can let loose . . .
