    Happy Monday Team!! Updated my times on the spreadsheet.... not that we needed it with all my rockstar team mates!! Have a good week everyone.

    @Diana6ft glad to hear your son is doing better .... it is so hard when our babies are not well!! So impressed you kept up with your workouts and challenges though. You really are amazing!!

    I didn't know the sign up was already available. I will have to look for it.

    Edit: Where did you find it?

    challenge. Now that would be exciting!! Our team has been so active and such great support I would hate to lose "touch" with you guys!!

    Sorry@mswanger09 if I sent you on a wild goose chase!!

    Buenos Dias mi hermoso equipo! Next stop...............................MEXICO!

    There will be boxing! There will be yoga! There will be Mexican Hat Dancing! Good thing we have all these extra road blocks, we will be traveling 6299 miles! But you know what?!?! I am not scared! I know we got this!

    Nutritional challenge is super easy this week, we just need to write a post about what this challenge has taught us about nutrition and what we will take with us and use going going forward.

    Accountability is the follow up to the new goals we set for ourselves a few weeks ago!

    Ok team who is excited to get to Mexico and win this thing?!?!?!?! (We are really close in points to Team 1, we can seriously do this!) OLE!

    I can't believe it is the last week of the challenge already! While I haven't really made any progress, I have enjoyed this challenge (ok maybe not the dancing) and especially this team!
    Looks like lots to do this week, and I am determined to get myself in triathlon training mentality. The next 6 weeks are probably the toughest as I am still teaching, and it is a very busy time of year, but also starting to add in the swimming and the biking, which means double workouts after work.....once I actually get motivated and get started. Tonight was upper body lifting followed by a run. I'll check out the videos on one of my lighter days.

    Two challenges completed! I did 5 rounds of the boxing and 5 rounds of the Mexican Hat Dance (even though I'm pretty sure that we only have to do one round each). They were actually fun! I'll keep doing the boxing if I can look like her, and the head bob in the Mexican Hat Dance had me laughing! :D

    I'm sure the team would love a video of you and the Mexican Hat Dance!! I think you live the closest to Mexico. Or maybe I do, but THAT isn't going to happen!! :p Maybe next time ;) Glad you are back!! :)

    Here's the link to the Nutrition/Accountability Challenge: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10378681/amazing-race-my-achievements#latest
    It's very simple and was kind of fun to do! Got me thinking about what a great team we are, and how much you all have helped me and effected me. <3
    But, enough sappiness! There are 1,190 Challenge Points waiting to be grabbed by our team (85 x 14), so just...
    GRAB THEM, CRUSH THEM, CHEW THEM UP AND SPIT THEM OUT. It doesn't matter what you do with them,
    JUST DO THEM!! :):D;)

    Spent half the day at (and traveling to) a doctors appointment with my wife. I'm going to try really hard to eat healthy for dinner on the way home, but that could be quite a challenge. It's been a long stressful day. I did get in some lifting before we left this afternoon so at least I did something.

    Tomorrow is my kids first day back at school. I'm nervous about leaving him for so long, but it's been a week with no seizures and he really wants to go back. Luckily I have some challenges to keep me busy. @ka97 I hope everything is well with your family!

    @ka97 hope everything is okay with your wife! Thinking of you...
    @Diana6ft so awesome your son wants to go back! It would be great if we could pack them in cotton wool to keep them safe... but we have to let our little birds fly free! Hope he (and you)
    have a great day!!!!

    I had a tough food day yesterday... lets just call it cookiepalooza and move on. Today is a new day!! Happy Hump Day Team

    @dtplow - I had pizzapalooza last night :o
    Thanks guys. We will be waiting on test results for a few weeks.
    Today I was TIRED; legs yesterday and then all that sitting at the doctor's office, and driving in traffic - yeah I was tired. Got my 6.5ish mile run done, ate some cereal for dinner, and will try to knock out one or more of those videos shortly.

    ok boxing and mexican hat dance done! Need to find time to workout this week (hard when you have to spend time entertaining visitors at work). So no lunch time break and at night I have to take her out to dinner UGH. So tough week for me regarding exercising and eating well. :(

    Will do yoga tommorrow....
    @ka97 waiting is the worst! But working out will help with that stress! Take care of each other. <3

    I completed the roadblocks last night and decided to keep the Mexican theme going with a little tequila when I was done.
