@ka97 I think the deadline is tomorrow night, but that would be @murdog3t's call because she submits our scores. If you want to just post on this thread, I'd be happy to put them on the spreadsheet.
The challenges are only 5 days out of 7 everyone, so don't give up, even if you missed a couple of days. There still is today and tomorrow!
@jamacianredhair, get that @Buddhaboy honey of yours to post his egg recipe!
We are still missing another couple of recipes from some other team members. The easiest 10 points of the race so far!! 
@120maggie, I hope you are feeling better today!
I finally hit the 120's and am very excited about it!! Did a two hour hike with a dog that got extremely muddy! Even at 7:00 this morning, she was hot and rolled in the wet grass and the trail dirt to get cool. I guess I should have counted bathing her when we got home as exercise minutes because it was a STRUGGLE!
Thank you everyone for staying motivated. YOUR motivation keeps ME motivated!! I'm no longer a couch potato!

Great job this week everyone!! After I posted about my amazing day on Tuesday the week went downhill fast. Some catastrophic car issues have really derailed my routine and I've been struggling to get back on track even though I know that exercise and healthy eating will help me manage the stress. Thank goodness the challenges this week are things I already do. Happy Easter everyone!0

6 miles done this morning. I'm 6/7 days on the omegas, 4/7 days on the water. Had I realized it was only a 5 day challenge I would have tried harder on Friday. Might be a good thing though - no beer or wine today and I've drunk all the water!0
-
Had an awesome sunrise hike with Tara (my pooch). A wonderful way to greet the day. Happy Easter team! 0

My little vacation and Easter definitely put me a little behind this week. But you are all doing so awesome!! I'll update my things on the spreadsheet. I'm looking forward to a new week and destination!0

Week 4 is up!!! We are going to Egypt!!!! We get to belly dance!!! There is a nutritional challenge and we have to log everything. 95 bonus are up for grabs per person!!! We got this!!!!0

Happy Easter everybody. -- a little late. @hawkins410 Your in the roaring 20's!! @mswanger09 thanks for sharing Jullian's words--Very true. This was my most sedentary day since the challenge began. Took my younger daughter back to college. 10 hours in a car
. I was drained, but will get my morning workout in tomorrow. 0 -
Wow week 4 has so much and is far! We will all need to work our butts off to get there :-) we got this team!!0

Happy Easter team 6 degrees of awesome. It's been a busy couple of days..back to work for me tomorrow0
-
Nothing else I typed got posted...weird0

Belly dancing!!! Seriously???
Just out of curiosity......have any of you done one of these amazing race challenges before? Anyone know if there is going to continue to be dancing almost every week?
I'm wishing now I had squeezed in a workout Friday so that I could take tomorrow off. But I didn't. So I lift tomorrow. That's just the way it is. It's going to be a tough/busy week at work and I'm already feeling a bit overwhelmed. I may not get to the spreadsheet until the end of the week, but I promise I will keep on track with the challenges.0 -
Egypt, here we come! *Only* 6642 miles! This is our time to show what we are made of 6 degrees of awesome!
Don't forget to log your favorite way to eat eggs before we leave Hershey. Here's the link again: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10355883/the-incredible-edible-egg-road-block-2-post/p4
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!
Welcome back from your mini-vacation @leti126!
@ka97, you only have to do each belly dance video once
Thank you @120maggie...I never want to see the Depression Days of the '30's again!
@Diana6ft Do we get another video?
Kudos to @mswanger09 for her awesome weightloss...even in Hershey!! 0 -
@hawkins410, thank you! I was shocked when I stepped on the scale this morning! I really thought I was seeing things, stepped on and off several times and even moved it to a different spot to make sure!
Anyone have any idea what we need to do for the nutritional roadblock? I have read several times and I feel like I am missing something.0 -
Yeah I'll do the belly dance, or at least sort of work through the videos. Probably not until the end of the week though. I just wish for something different.
The difficult thing this week will be trying to keep track of the stairs. I teach, and my classroom is on the second floor, so there are a lot of stairs in my day, which is great. I need to figure out some system for keeping track of it though.
And the Egyptian food. Will have to figure out what to eat. Meals are planned for the week, so got to figure out some way to modify something.0 -
@mswanger09 I have a question in to @Melodieccurn about the Nutritional Challenge. I'm not quite getting how to log it either.
I googled Egyptian foods (I'm such a nerd) and almonds, raisins, grapes and celery are all good snack foods for Roadblock #3.
Getting ready to upload the belly dances! 0 -
Ok... lets try this again but from my computer....
Please post your info to the spreadsheet by Monday before you go to bed, I have to have totals to our organizer by Tuesday AM. Egypt is far away.... this week 6642 miles
that is a lot of minutes. if we wanna make it we need to step it up. Lots of great Roadblocks(RB). no partial credits this week its all or nothing. Hopefully you all had a great Easter Holiday and a blessed rest of the week.

With the nutritional challenges I wish they would be posted sooner so that I can meal plan and not have to make another trip to the store.
I am going to have to randomly walk up and down steps to get them in. I don't have stairs in my everyday life. All ready made 2 trips down to the basement this morning.0 -
^ ^ ^
Two flights already @mswanger09 ! I figure we need about 12 flights/day. I have stairs in my house and stairs outside at work, so I'm covered. Actually it will be good because it will get me outside during lunch!
@ka97 I'm going to have the tracking problem too. Do you have pockets? You could transfer something small like a dime or tic-tac each time you go up a flight. I'm just going to keep a post-it note for each day and jot a chicken scratch each flight. Good luck! 0 -
@hawkins410, had to put my jeans in the dryer and get them back out. I am planning on setting the timer on my phone and just randomly walk up and down steps for 15-20 minutes tonight. This will help on the stair challenge and give me more minutes over all!0

Howdy team!
There is a thread for the nutritional challenge where you post your favorite food and why it is your favorite. It is a quick and easy 10 points! I added a column to the spreadsheet so that you can log it once you have completed it.
And here is the link to the thread:

Hi everyone, sorry I have been MIA from the boards this week. Had a tough week but good news is got all the challenges done and posted. No weight loss this week for me but I did stay the same. kudos to @mswanger09 for her AMAZING weight loss this week!!! Cant wait for the video of @Diana6ft bellydancing... 0

@dtplow, Thank you!0

It sounds like RB #3 is a super easy 10 points! Here is Melodie's response to ka97's question:Melodieccurn wrote: »0

Thanks all for some clarifications! I tried out the belly dancing and am so bad at it but at least I tried. I also ran the stairs at my apartment complex (20) and boy did that get me sweating! We only count going up correct? That's what I would assume! Keep up the good work all!0
-
So I have a two story house so upstairs is considered two flights or one? And do we count going down? I went up and down this morning 3 times because I kept forgetting stuff 0
-
@jamacianredhair Don't think going down counts.
Too bad we didn't have the stairs challenge and the water drinking challenge in the same week. There are upstairs bathrooms at both home and work. I could have tied them both in together! Actually that is what I am doing to add some flights. Run to the upstairs loo!0 -
