    I made it clear to the end of the second run of week 5 yesterday (C25K). I plan to do it again today so I maybe I can start week 6 monday after all.

    A small brag- I had a whoosh this week (thank you TOM) and I now match my high school graduation weight.

    For context, I was at my heaviest in high school. That is, until the last year when my weight had been creeping up and I passed it. My goal weight is what I weighed a year after puberty (I held steady at that weight for decades) and my dream weight is what I weighed in college.

    Still, it's fun to say.

    it snowed lightly in Amsterdam for a few hours and I got to spend an hour wandering back to the train station enjoying the snow. Great exercise n fun!! :)

    Color me jealous. I love walking in the snow!

    I wore a tank top and got a sunburn out on my run yesterday so I'm pulling out sunscreen for today. The weather is beautiful here but I shouldn't need sunscreen in early March or be walking outside without a coat.

    Today was P90X3: The Challenge.

    This one kicks my butt every time. 30 min of push ups (still modified, but that's ok!) and pull ups (still using resistance bands instead of pull up bar, but that's ok too!)

    WOW! I can't do 3 push ups so I can't wrap my mind around doing them for 30 min. That's amazing!
    Cauliflower Rice! OMG it is amazing!! I have really missed rice but do not dare eat any because I could never stop at the proper portion. Cauliflower Rice is a great substitute!! And I had more than I could finish!!

    Cauliflower Rice is delicious. So is mashed cauliflower and especially roasted cauliflower. Roasted cauliflower=ambrosia.

    I'm hosting a dinner party tonight and will be cooking Mediterranean (cuisine not diet) and along with the chickpea main dish I'll be serving a a gingered turmeric cauliflower. YUM!

    Hey everyone! My name is Katie. I am 22 years old, living an the U.S. I am so excited to cheer each other on. I weigh about 170 pounds. My ultimate goal weight is 135, but I know that will take a lot of time. I am pretty good about exercising, but I am not very disciplined when it comes to food. I want to change that. Sometimes I struggle to understand why it's so hard. I am so disciplined about so many aspects of my life, why is food so tricky?? Recently I stepped outside my comfort zone and joined a boxing fitness class... Punching bags and all. I am very new to it, but seems like it will be a nice stress reliever after work. Looking forward to getting to know you all :) We've got this!!!

    Haha! They are modified push ups but still hard as heck! I love P90X3! The program can be modified even for someone like me! I know it works because I see results on the scale, loss of inches and improved strength and balance!! Best part is it's only 30 min per day so I can knock it out early in the AM or on my lunch break! ❤️ I am wondering what program I will do next. No more going to the gym for me... I can get a great workout at home!! Plus I eat at or just below my calories on most days. That is just as important!

    Hi, I'm Kim. Today I'm 204 lbs my goal at the end of this challenge is to be 196. That's loosing a pound a week. I think that's doable. I would be even happier to loose 2 lbs a week, but I don't want to set the bar to high and be too disappointed. I'm a mom of 2, I work full time and am trying to go back to school in the summer. This is the first challenge I've joined and I'm very excited about it. I am a bit confused wth the race, does everyone do the road blocks or just one person?

    @shockvalue07 Welcome. You just posted to your thread. Do that each day and let us know how you ate going. Check @mallowbar instructions under discussions for full race instructions. At least one of us needs to do a roadblock but last challenge most of us tried them for fun. Record your daily exercise, it adds up.

    I am going to struggle this week to to post on this thread or on the main forum from Wednesday on. Flying to USA and quietly hope the hotel has a scale so I can weigh in AND has decent wi-fi so I can cheer us all on.

    I will still commit to over 300 minutes exercise this week plus the greek detour. I have a sugar free diet and friended you all so I am helping us get part way to Greece. Let's get out of New York and start this challenge strong!
