Hey Team 4 Wildflowers......I tried to help boost the minutes today. I started out with 60 mins on the treadmill and then we went sight seeing with some family that was visiting from out of town and so I added 53 more mins for a total of 113 minutes today
I am really looking forward to the weigh in on Tuesday. Just curious what happens now will there be another challenge for this week? 0 -
Went for a walk today outside and did the dumbbell challenge. Skipping the squats today...giving my knees a rest. How's everyone else doing?0

Hey, Melanie. Great job upping your minutes! Thanks! Usually by now, Melodie, (@mallowbar) will have posted a new destination and roadblocks and/or challenges for the next week. She is at her daughter's graduation dinner tonight so we may not see anything specific until later or tomorrow. She will do the scoring for this week and post the results sometime before this week ends.0

I did added my minutes for Saturday and Sunday.. Did arm challenge for the entire week that was fun? I couldn't walk outside due to rain.. Looking forward to next week's challenge.
I am hoping I lost some weight tomorrow morning when I weigh0 -
Anyone fall of the bandwagon over the weekend? I sure did. Baby shower Friday night with lots of yummy food, no exercise or logging my food today and yesterday. Need to get back on track. Weekends are a big struggle for me.

Weekends are my struggle and sugar too and that's why I joined the challenge in January.. I honestly followed to the T.. It has helped me a lot.0

Weekends can be tough for sure, Tori, especially if you have functions. Don't beat yourself up and, like you said, just get back on the wagon on Monday morning!0

Hey guys, weekends are always a struggle for me. Don't eat properly. During the working week it's much easier for me. Thanks to all the support !!!0

You guys are great. Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one. I didn't fall off the bandwagon but I was hanging off the side.0

Good morning, Team Wild Flowers! I hope you all enjoyed last week and have figured out this Amazing Race thing. Unfortunately, we did not make it to Greece, but we gave it a good try. In our defence we only had 13 team members participate. Not the smallest team, but not the largest either. I would like to give a special shout out to Ruffa, Melanie, Mauli and Lexy for finding the time to exercise all seven days last week! That's dedication! Of course, I know we all did the best that we could given our schedules! That's all any of us can do.0

Hi everyone sorry I had a bit of a busy weekend so i didn't update Fridays or the weekend till now.0

Okay, this week we are travelling to Ireland....just in time for St. Patrick's Day! It is a shorter distance, so I am confident we will make it this week.
There are two Roadblocks, and just like the TV show, we EACH need to do ONE. Of course, we can still get credit for both if we choose to do both.
The first Roadblock is the seven Irish dance videos. I haven't looked at them yet, so I can't comment but they are worth 35 points if you do all seven. That's quite a chunk of points! (I would imagine they get the heart rate up, so a good workout as well!)
The second Roadblock is preparing an Irish inspired meal and it is worth 25 points. Melanie gave two examples of corned beef and cabbage, or lamb or beef stew, but obviously there are others out there. I am not sure how much of a stickler she will be on actually preparing them ourselves or if just eating an Irish inspired meal, let's say at a restaurant, would count. I will let you know.
The Nutritional challenge is worth 5 points and it is VERY easy! Over five days, eat at least one fruit or vegetable in these five colour groups (I am Canadian, thus the spelling!): red, green, blue/purple, yellow/orange, and white. This has to be over five days....don't just eat them all in one day!
The Accountability challenge is also worth 5 points. It is to log your food in MFP for five days this week. It is a habit that, if you don't have it already, should adopt quickly if yo want to succeed at this weight loss thing. And if you go over your daily calorie allotment, that's fine...it happens from time to time and at the beginning of this process if you are just figuring out how to do it. So hit the "complete this day's entry" button on your log or just post in the thread that you have entered all your food for the day (it is an honour system here).
I have asked Melodie how to set up the spreadsheet for this week. Will keep you posted.
Best of "luck o' the Irish" this week everyone!
Lisa

Good morning ladies. I just updated my stat's so sorry for the late entries. Also I did not know where to enter for the extra points for eating Greek foods. I had spinach last week 4 times.0
-
I got you covered, Nicole. Roadblock #2 was the Greek food.0
-
Monday - red (apple)0
-
Ireland!! Love Ireland. It is inspiring to start new goals this week.0
-
Yes, new week, new opportunities to achieve some personal goals! I have set up the spreadsheet for this week (just scroll down from week #1). Kate, if you get bored at work, we would love if you would do your magic again! If not, I think it will suffice.0
-
Today, Monday I ate strawberries for breakfast for the nutritional challenge 0
-
Monday I ate a red apple
Tomorrow is weigh in day good luck Wildflowers.0 -
Tori, it sounds like you have actually visited Ireland....have you?0
-
For the five colour challenge, you can pick whatever day you want for whatever colour....the order is irrelevant.0
-
Evening everyone.
I liked the color format someone did to our tab on the spreadsheet so I copied it for this week as well.

I haven't been able to track yesterday and today. My poor 2 year old has strep and was so miserable! His fever spiked at 103.7 but is now back down. He's finally himself again tonight thanks to antibiotics!
I should be back on track tomorrow! (as long as I don't catch it-my husband is pretty sure he's coming down with it)0 -
Just take care of your son (and husband), Kate. This is just life happening. You'll get back on track.0
-
Thanks, Kate. Just noticed the colourful spreadsheet that Melanie was referring to!0
-
I'm back in business!! My little man is feeling 1000% better now. I weighed in this morning and had a loss of 1.6 lbs. I'll take it! I haven't made it to the gym since Saturday night and may not be able to make it back until tomorrow morning. Hope everyone is having a good day!0
-
Tuesday is weigh-in day. Don't forget to enter your weight under the weigh-in tab. This is a great way to keep track of your progress throughout this challenge. Many of us have shown a loss this week on the scales. Way to go Team Wild Flowers!0

Monday - red (apple)
Tuesday - green (pepper)0 -
Okay, apparently I had nothing better to do because I just spent the last hour learning the Irish dance steps. My heart is pounding and my brow is dripping, but the dancer in me from 30 years ago had fun!0

Tuesday - Red pepper
Way to go Lisa on working on the dance. 0
