    @120maggie, what you are saying is that I can eat a potato, in any form and that counts as an Irish food?

    My co-worker made "Irish Potatoes" which is a candy that started in Philly. I don't think that would count.

    We lost at least 1. I know last week some people only updated their information when everything was completed.

    Hey, so i have a fitbit and have received a friction burn on my wrist and am scared to wear it... I was doing so well with keeping track of my exercise and now i feel like logging minutes of walking on mfp is going to be incorrect because of how my walking varies. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Do you have a phone you can carry while you walk? There is a free app. called cardio trainer that I use that works great! You can select the type of exercise you want, the intensity of the work-out, and it will record steps, time, distance, etc. You can pause in your walking and then resume when you start back up as well. You can even play music through it! See if it is available in your Google play store. Let me know how it goes! :)

    There is a product called "bodyglide"; a lot of triathletes and some runners use it. However, you could also try using deodorant, a little vasoline, or even some cooking spray applied to the area(s) that rub. I know it sounds weird, but people actually do it, to prevent that very problem.

    Thanks for your help!!!!!!!! I think i'm going to keep trying the fitbit on the other wrist and see if it happens there. I used to use my phone but i wear dresses to work all of the time and couldn't get it to work. I will definitely try putting some vaseline under the fitbit. I think that would help a lot!

    This is too funny! I just spontaneously broke out into the Irish dance at work! :D
    Of course I only did the threes, & the point, toe, hop, but it still impressed my audience of two!! :p

    I helped at work at an Irish culture event for elementary school students, and they were learning Irish step dancing, of course I joined in! Does this count as the Irish dance videos?! Haha

    Well I did the videos, sort of. I went through each of them and attempted the moves and sort of followed along. Hope that's all I need to do. It wasn't good. Not only am I totally uncoordinated, I also have an ankle issue. It hadn't occurred to me that it would be an issue, but I discovered pretty quickly it was. Not pretty at all! I'm really hoping for something other than dancing next week!

    Of course!! That's live, even better than videos! Also, count the time you spent doing it in your exercise log for today! I hope your corn beef and cabbage turned out! :)

    Still eating through my rainbow and working out when possible with company in town. I will be MIA over the weekend to Branson, MO with several girlfriends but I plan on continuing to eat well and working out in the mornings before we go on our daily activities. I will log everything on Sunday even though we have already made it to Ireland. Have a great weekend everyone!
