Sorry for the late update this week, the three of us have become increasingly busy as the semester begins the final stretch into… well… finals. The board remains pretty solid this week, which is great after the loses of the previous.

Of course there is still a giant delicious curve ball (or Butterball perhaps) to come. A twist in the plot with more gravy, cranberries, and tryptophan than any mortal man could possibly resist. You guessed it, I’m talking about having a new President.

The election may be on the front of every one’s minds this week, but the other race is just starting to get interesting. Baby Kanga has come out of nowhere to put himself back into the mix, as Pwnie Boy solidified his spot on top with another solid week. I don’t get to go home for Thanksgiving this year, so I hope that will help be move back into the contention in a few weeks. Eat all the pumpkin pie you can find, you two. I promise it won’t hurt anything. It’s basically weightless. In fact I heard you lose weight by eating it.

After a pretty unsteady start, things have become a little more consistent. Pwnie Boy has lengthened his lead a little, Joey is sitting rock solid at the weight he came in at (you just can’t mess with perfection, I’ve tried to tell him), and the Crusader has moved down ever so slightly. One month left.

I stepped on my balance board yesterday for the routine BMI check, and was pleasantly surprised (and a little alarmed) to see the number 22.97 pop up on the screen. I was proud, then curious, then skeptical, and finally noticed that one of the extended carpet feet had fallen off. Balance board fail.

The Challenge officially has a 50% completion rate! Which means half of has gone by the wayside, or, depending on how you look at it, there is still just as much fitness left to come. I see the glass as half empty. Mainly because of the sad amount of fitness that has been had thus far. Although every competitor did sneak under par this week. Hopefully the next six weeks will start to see increased results!

While Joey is still in the red, overall put together a much more solid performance this week. I have been paying close attention to my flexibility over the last week, and have definitelymade strides since the beginning of the challenge. In particular with the half moon and downward dog stretches. Next week marks the half way point of the challenge.

One month down, two to go. After last week’s poor-formance, will fitness fight back? Or will the sluggish slide continue? Summer has officially passed our competitors by, and as Autumn rolls in will it be the pounds or the people that fall? Find out! …After the break.

Week three has come to a close, and with it goes Yankee Stadium, the Patriots, and Baby Kanga’s commanding lead. There is still plenty of time left, but it’s going to take a significant pace change for all three competitors to make a dent into their BMI’s. Click over for the results thus far.

It’s Sunday night, and you know what that means… Football! As well as Wii Fit. Week 2 of our competition has come to a close, and it looks like everyone is surviving so far. Unfortunately, surviving doesn’t always mean shedding those unsightly side rolls. Especially when you are surviving on Reese’s. Check out the progress after the break.
