Team T.I.T.S. (Page 15)

I could see to it that you get some fantastic perky T.I.T.S. ...

meeeeeeeooooooooow

My T.I.T.S. = riding strong and high, folks.

I'm "only" at 50%, but considering I essentially couldn't enjoy my T.I.T.S. for a week due to sick/broken, I'm doing great and my T.I.T.S. will be as good and big as I said ... I am just so excited to have my T.I.T.S. bouncing all over the place like this! Out on the road, in the sun, in the dark, inside ... wow, I am just having a great time with my T.I.T.S. everywhere, and sometimes others join me.

My T.I.T.S. are bouncing along nicely. I might keep them under wraps during the week, but they get plenty of air over the weekend!

And on a semi-serious note, this challenge is really helping me with my overall fitness. I hadn't really expected to see a difference (because if I'm honest, I've been pretty gentle with the TT workouts concentrating only on my time and not much else). But I went running yesterday and managed to run for 2.7k without stopping.

This might not sound like much but it's the first big milestone for me returning to training post-baby. It's also the challenge I set myself before I would change my avatar. So today I get to pick a new picture.

Gill, you are amazing. I remember when you were Major Corporal Mum (along with me and Andrew) in the Tri Corps and you just kept determinedly putting the minutes together ... you have come so far, and by the way ...

BEAUTIFUL T.I.T.S. !!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Who's Your Marmadaddy? This is the second week in a row that they've had the top ranking!

BUT remember that this is only the THIRD week of the challenge! January is only 64.5% completed.

And some of the teams are REALLY close to one another! There's still time to help your team achieve that #1 ranking!

So get out there and Swim/Bike/Run!... And then Swim/Bike/Run some more!

Dee and Beth

Hey, we're only 8.93% away from the podium.  Come on team,

get out there and show us your T.I.T.S.!!!!

Important Challenge Announcement:

This is a team challenge, so Beth and I have decided to offer you extra incentive to help your team.

Some participants are dealing with illness, injury, or just "life in general." And we know you want your team to do well, so:

You may now achieve 120% of your goal!

Up to 120% of each person's progress will be counted in your team's percentages.

(Yes, we know that some of you have raised your goals. It's your choice whether to try to achieve 120% based upon your original goal, or your new one.)

The team with the highest percentage will WIN the Challenge.

Any team that achieves 100% (or more), will also be declared a winner, and get to display the "Winner" signature line.

We hope this provides a little incentive for you to get out there and SWIM, BIKE or RUN!

Dee and Beth

It was a struggle just climbing out of the cellar! 

January Challenge Week 3 (aka, The World According to Beth)

There was talk about football in most of the threads, ‘tis the season isn’t it!  So, we’re down to the Giants and the Patriots for the Superbowl.  Oddly enough Little Debbie showed up in multiple threads as well, hmmmmm – ok, Dee and I confess to and apologize for hijacking some of the threads (having said that, I don’t think we can promise it won’t happen again, just feel free to kick us out )  Hey, Little Debbie and football – sounds like the makings of a party!
Great job to all of the teams!  It sounds like everyone is having fun and really challenging themselves – here we go into the final stretch!!

Funky-Chrono-Monkeys of the Frozen Cinder Tundra – Captain Bluejack
Shermbelle is Dee’s new best friend in the whole wide world – he has a distributorship for Little Debbie!  Check out the thread if you want to know more about who Little Debbie really is – Some really cold weather running going on – does that make one dedicated or nuts???

Flying Fish – Captain Kendra
A few highlights from the Talking Tilapia (LOL) – this team is hard to keep up with, they sure are chatty!  Did you know that Dee doesn’t cook, in fact that is the reason that microwaves were invented – my question is, why does she need to use a microwave when she has a magic wand? Poor Lynne was sick all week, but a little birdie told me she is feeling better today.  I think Cat is really the one with super powers – did you know she has the ability to arrive somewhere before she leaves?

Team Ride Lots – Captain Scott
Eating Loblolly while riding the trainer, takes multi-tasking to a new level, WaterDog66 continues to amaze the team with his skills in this arena.  Kenj, has taken the cue and is going to give the laptop trainer session a try (how did that go?)  In case anyone else is wondering Loblolly is Loblolly is anything thick and goopy like porridge. (Grits, Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat etc.) – little did I know that I’ve been eating Loblolly all these years when I have oatmeal  - LOL  Thank you for the pics of the new bike MissKelly! w00t w00t!

Loving Every Mile – L.E.M. - Captain Lisa
I continue to be amazed at just how much this team truly does Love Every Mile!  From Daremo’s 170+ miles for the month to ell-in-or’s PB, this team is turning in some great #’s.  Unfortunately team member rgattis has had to withdraw due to an injury – he is now the Official L.E.M. Cheerleader. (let me know if you need to borrow my pom poms )  Great job on moving up a spot in the rankings this past week! 

Who’s your Marmadaddy? – Captain Sal
Congratulations to Who’s your Marmadaddy for 2 weeks in a row in the #1 spot.  Update on the Power Puff girls vs the Manly Men; ladies are at 85.59% and the men are at 80.76%.  In case you are wondering which Power Puff girl you might be – well, you can find out by taking this handy dandy quiz – Thanks Jen! Here's a link to the quiz: http://www.valvigirl.net/quizzes/ppgquiz.html  
 

Wet and Wild – Captain Jeni
If anyone needs some inspiration you must watch this- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgoNB2164bE&feature=related . Thanks nevergivin for sharing this with your team,  all I can say is WOW!  While they didn’t quite achieve their team goal of being in the top three teams this week, they still turned in some awesome performances.  Just remember all of you other challenge teams – remember what they say about the quiet ones being the ones to watch out for……

Twisted Blisters – Captain Beth
If you want a chuckle visit the Twisted Blisters!  Julie (GirlPassingonLeft) has a knack for finding the funniest cartoons that always seem to fit the situation!  Frank (ny15298) has a new avatar (his fourth since the challenge began???)  I’m beginning to wonder if he’s trying to give Dee and Scott a run for their money – lol.  Despite some very busy schedules, the Blisters are holding steady in 2^nd place.

Scrambled Legs – Captain 1for1
Double Dog Dare’s have been issued by Captain 1for1 for certain team members to step up their goals – did they take the dare?  Although they dropped a bit in the rankings this week I would not write this team off as it is clear that losing is not a desirable option – there are some fierce competitors in this group!

Team T.I.T.S – Captain Max (aka keeper of the T.I.T.S)
The team started the week with sesh’s T.I.T.S in the Hump and apparently sagging because of beer and college football.  (ok, for the record the Hump is the nickname of MS State’s gym).  There are new T.I.T.S. in town as tupuppy became and official member of the team.  Lots of warm welcomes to Ty as he promised not to let his T.I.Ti.S  sag.  Apparently the BRA (Bicycling Resource Advisor) is working as the team has moved up a spot in the rankings.

perky is good!

I don't know about perky but I helped to make our collective T.I.T.S. bigger is 70 minutes on the trainer.      It was sweaty T.I.T.S. to with the Tough Love Spinerval dvd.

awwwww

good puppy!

woof woof...pant pant  (where's the treat?)

oh, sadly i am merely an organizer and therefore cannot give treats to individual team members

Yanti?  can you help in my time of moral dilemma?

I assume this was the sort of treat you were wanting?

That, or at least throw a dog a bone.

Well after yesterdays "bad" hangover, I finally felt normal to ride into work today!  Pretty much on schedule with 66% done for 70% of the month.

Lucky doggy there Yanti, LOL!

Anyone hang with Gilligan at all?  He's way behind and logs are private, I wonder if he got sick along the way.  Speaking of sick, things are finally startingto pickup around here in the schools after winter break.  It's been a great fall/winter as far as illnesses go, zero for the family in the last couple of months, but now the wife has something.

Okay, who will be picking up (or has picked up) their T.I.T.S. today?  I am hoping for a rare run tonight.  Perhaps I’ll have to do a 20-30 minute trainer warm-up first.

I'm thinking I'll get my T.I.T.S. done tonight.  A nice full and perky 20 hours of T.I.T.S.
