Sorry for your phone Leanne.
Can you believe that: I don't have a phone.
No land line, no smart phone.
I have an old samsung with no plan that I use only for the runkeeper app and listening to music at the gym.
But I spend way to much time on my laptop so, not better! eheheh
Now can you believe that: my 7 lbs fluctuation from last week is ALL GONE!! Yay! I went from 144.6 to 151.8 and now I'm back to 143.8 this morning! WOW! Was I happy! I'm used to 3-4 lbs gains/loss but that much was the first time so I'm very happy it's gone!
I'm not very proud of my "points" for the team this week, especialy the water thing, I mean I always drink tons of water it should have been easy points. I hope I will do better next week but I still don't want to push to hard, I'm sick of injuries coming back...
Luckily, this wonderful team is reaching every goal no matter what ! You are great! All of you!
Yes Isabelle, we are a dynamic team!!! Great news for your loss this week! You give me hope for my situation!! lol Long story but I managed to get a loaner phone today so that is a relief. I am very embarrassed about how much I depend on my stupid phone. Terrible.0 -
Oh Leanne that stinks at least you are able to get a replacement
Happy Easter everyone have a great day team0 -
Leanne, can you please add 20 minutes for me today that way I don't have to get on the real computer. If it can be logged tomorrow though, I can add it when I get to work. Thanks. Happy Easter everyone!0

Done! No problem!0 -
Oh dear, not the week for cell phones. Just heard from Olena, in Kiev. Her phone got stolen last week and a lot of her time has been spent dealing with that. She couldn't do the challenge this week but she will be back this week she hopes.0

Reminder to post your activity and challenges by Monday evening please! Thanks! Looks like another great successful week for Team 1!0

It is official - I am going to be a grandma in October, my Step daughter and husband are expecting!0

Yeah!!! Congratulations Gayle!! That is terrific news. So happy for you. Do they live relatively close to you?0

Great news Gayle! Congrats! So exciting!0
-
I'll work on the new spreadsheet for this week later today! Been battling the flu this weekend so really want to make up the activity this week!0

Thanks. I do feel better. Did my regular workout this morning with lighter weights to ease back after my shoulder injury earlier. What a mess! Anyway, I think I have the spreadsheet set up (I usually notice a few details I forget later) but go ahead and post away! Still waiting to hear Melodie's answers regarding some good clarification questions others had about the challenges. Have a great week everyone! I'm on spring break so it's always harder for me to get my steps in, but I'll give it my best effort. Looking forward to hopefully walking more outside!0

Gayle that's great news congrats
Leanne glad to hear that you are feeling better, nothing like a good flu to set one back0 -

Stupid question on the flights of stairs...she says a normal story is 2 flights. This wouldn't pertain to stairs in your house too, would it? Thanks, and Happy Monday!!0

Congrats Gayle! That's so exciting!
As I've posted on my newsfeed, I'm having serious issues with pain in my left hip. I have a doctor's appointment set for tomorrow, but for now my workouts are on hold. I have stairs in my house though and will do my best to get the 82 flights in during the week. My only wish now is to figure out what's wrong and get it fixed if possible. Sadly I'm at that age where, as Louis C.K. put it, things just get sh*tty and that's how it is LOL.0 -
Rose- Sorry about your hip. Hope you find some answers & relief from your Dr appt. Having stairs in your home that you have to go up may get you to meet the challenge without even trying! I know I always need something that's on another level!
Btw, I love Louis C.K.!! Ray Ramano has a funny bit where he describes the best friends to have at different ages, such as in your teens you need that friend with a car. Now at his age, he wants to meet friends that are doctors cuz his body is falling apart!! Lol0 -
If you haven't seen it, watch this 3 minute bit from Louis C.K. on turning 40... omg I laughed so hard because that is EXACTLY how my doctor appointments have been going!

Congratulations, Gayle!
Feel better, Leanne and Rose!
After a great week last week things totally fell apart over the weekend--I overate; yesterday was one of those days where it didn't matter what I ate, I was "hungry" and wanted more, calories schmalories. This resulted in a 2.5 lb gain this morning that I know is mostly water and which I was prepared for and expecting, but it's annoying nonetheless.
So here's to being back on track today. I'm still feeling hungry but am blaming that on TOM...will have to find a way to power through it. I've been drinking water all day and it is not helping. Some days are just like this, I guess.

@bm1409 Saw your favorite food post (don't forget to log your 10 points by the way) and wanted to let you know I've made a "faux" noodles and alfredo sauce using zucchini noodles and a cauliflower sauce instead of alfredo that is amazing similar to the real thing. Let me know if you want the recipe.

So in case the rest of you didn't know (I just found out), there is a discussion set up where you can post your favorite foods. Be warned, everything posted so far sounds delicious; it can make you hungry!!! Post your list and record your easy 10 points on our spreadsheet!! Now to go do my daily flights of stairs up and down to our basement. I figure if I go up and down 12 times average per day this week I should get my challenge done. I live in a small town with no multiple floor buildings. Even my school doesn't have stairs and our gym bleachers are usually folded up unless there's an event.0
-
Fun fact: To achieve our cumulative miles for this week's challenge, we all need to have an average of at least 56 minutes per day. (By the way, the calculations in our spreadsheet are assuming 17 active team members; I've left akitamother10 and lcolpo on the sheet in case they come back, but I didn't count them in the calculations of our needed averages.)0

@RoseTheWarrior
Love that video you posted. So true! I got the same treatment when I went earlier for my shoulder. That's why I didn't bother going to the doctor this last go around!!!

Please post for all. I would love it too. Finally tried spaghetti squash and I am in love!! We don't eat a lot of past because my husband thinks carbs are bad. Lol. We have also been doing a lot of mashed cauliflower lately. I can't get enough.@bm1409 Saw your favorite food post (don't forget to log your 10 points by the way) and wanted to let you know I've made a "faux" noodles and alfredo sauce using zucchini noodles and a cauliflower sauce instead of alfredo that is amazing similar to the real thing.

Leanne - thanks for breaking down the average minutes we would need per day. Also, that's smart to try to figure out how many times you'll have to do your stairs per day for it to work out.0

Cheryl - I completely get the whole scale frustrations. We "cheated" over the weekend even though I attempted to keep my calories in check and my scale went up both days. I was happy to get back to the work week so that I could eat more regularly. I too was hungry all day long though for some reason. Hope it's better tomorrow.0
