sarge...i got your link to post for you

@spanky I totally love your Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot. If my scale keeps annoying me (since I can't write "PO" here) I will get that tattooed on my butt!!

GOOD MORNING TROOPS . . .

Poster Challenge . . . toooo fun and I love the baby trying to get the DA*N spoon . . . tooo funny

Rainbow, yea for catching the link . . . at least someone isn't technically challenged . . . Ummmmmm, yup that's me. What's ironic is all the little old ladies at work come to me when they've pushed the wrong buttons and now their TV's won't work . . .

Workout done for the day, 30 minutes of run/walk intervals, JM 30 DS and some weights . . . I'm pushing the envelope on the weights, adding more to see what I can actually do . . .

GoodWill visit done and 3 more pair of Size 4's . . . yup, they all fit . . . OMG . . .

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY . . . TOMORROW BRINGS JEANETTEY AND HER HUMP DAY CHALLENGE . . . I'M SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED

Gooey -- Size 4's?!?!?! Dang, at birth I was already bigger than a size 4!

Awfully quiet here this afternoon troops! Hope that means everyone is working hard!

Calling all Fitocracy "fit-izens!" Help indentify player "hardcore chick!" We need intell! Any guesses? 3FC Platoon member or only fitocracy player?

Haha, I thought you knew her!! Would be quite funny if she was just on fitocracy!

Riestrella - No, thought I knew, but then eliminated the notion of who I thought it was. Now I'm just trash talking her! BTW, I know you've got that 10K this weekend. First, good luck! Second...don't push any more long runs this week. I see in your signature that you were trying to get in a total of 64 miles before the race. The last thing you want to do is tire your legs out so that they feel like lead the day of the race!

For the longest time I thought I was the only one who didn't know....that I had missed something in the early days of the platoon on Fitocracy while I was MIA.

I saw my doctor today for my 6 week follow-up... and I am now cleared to exercise!!! I can't wait to go to the gym tonight. I am going to take it slow at first, but holy moses am I looking forward to getting back to my previous fitness level. Sunday and yesterday I was feeling shin splints from my WALKS.

pokey: I have been wanting a bodybugg! I hinted to my husband that it would make a great birthday gift, but he said "that's a boring gift". LOL, not to me! Let me know how yours works for you, and what you see in terms of the calories you are burning daily!

DREAMER: As you've figured out already, the numbers would suggest that you could eat a lot more than you do and still lose, but individual physiologies - like the impact of your PCOS - mean those averages don't always hold. It sounds like you have a good handle on what calorie intake works best for you already, given that you've tried different levels and found the range that results in losses for you on a consistent basis. If you start the exercise and your weight loss slows or stops, then adding in another couple hundred calories per day might get you moving again. It sounds like it will just be trial and error. Let us know how it goes!

envelope: I often go up and down during the week too, especially in the week leading up to, and the week during, TOM. It seems like my losses are much steadier and more straightforward (incremental movement downward on the scale) in the two weeks following TOM.

Anon: I am a numbers geek, and so I enjoy looking at the spreadsheet and how things are going, how they change over time, etc. I hope others have fun with it too!

MadamB: OMG, I would KILL to be in a size 4 some day!!! Yay on all the new well-fitting clothes in tiny sizes!!


Hope everyone has had a great day!

Hump Day! WOOHOO. I already beat my pledge by two pounds. Down to 192 as of this afternoon!

Doing a BUTT er load of activity. I am loving the treadmill work I am doing. Someday I will be able to actually run on my treadmill.

Yay, Chick-a-dee! That's a great doctors visit!
Enjoy exercising again.

Madam-Goobster-Imagine a wolf whistle.

Got it. LOL
That's for getting into size 4s!! Awesome job.

And umm...Sarge:

Good try on the Poster War Challenge.

The Taco Chili was so delicious! I will be eating on it for the rest of the week now.

Checkin in from TN! We are in Chattanooga..took the boys to Raccoon Mtn yesterday and today we did the incline and the TN Valley Railroad. They are having tons of fun. We are headed to a cabin in Gatlinburg tomorrow...then to Franklin NC and home. No WI's the last couple days but WTG to everyone else! Will check in later on!

Humping along here. 'bout 90 gm carbs. I did some old fashioned calisthenics for a half hour then 4.6 on the bike. Pushed the calisthenics hard as I could. Starting to get interested in Jillian's 30 Day shred, if anyone has an opinion on it--sounds like everyone here likes it.

So. Where's that Hump Day Challenge? Bring it!

spanx

Not sure if its just endorphins still running rampant but Raccoon Mountain sounds like a place you just gotta visit at some point in your life! Sarge will be packing his rifle with nite scope and 38 Luger for the visit.

Chesh--Nice high-5! I'm already looking forward to tomorrow morning!

Chick--Glad you got the A-OK to get back at it! 2011 has not been so kind to you!

Ksquared--Sounds like you're having an awesome week!

Peanutt--Yeah, right...I had HardcoreChick pegged to be one of two people in the platoon and then realized I was wrong (which, of course, rarely happens). My current thought is that he or she (have also considered it to be Reso in drag like his avatar ) is a lurker to our 3FC thread or someone who resigned their platoon commission or went MIA and was too embarrassed to return. Oh well, the fun & games shall continue!

Hump day challenge

WATCH YOUR SIX

bridge arches, glut jumps, butt-er lifts, donkey kicks, glute drops, glute curls,
weighted squats and mountain climbers.

Do all the exercises. You decide how many of each to do.

Remember the point is to challenge yourself but I don't want anyone hurt because

I suggested too many.

The following pictures show the exercises in the order given above.





....

ohhhh sonds like a good challenge jeannetty! Cn't wait to do it tomorrow after my JM30DS!

Chick - Thanks for the advice! That is one of the things I was wondering about. I think I will take your advice on that
