    haha didn't even think about blueberries! Wish they were in season now though too expensive. I'll find something though! Thanks

    Just calculated the distance for our group of 18 people, we all need 160 minutes to get to Ireland, ladies.. I think that is what most of us do in about 2 days of workouts. Maybe it is just me and my location, but is the second video unavailable to anyone else? @ka97, I think this will help with your recovery week.

    Top of the morning everyone! :) This sounds like a fun week! The dances look like great cardio and I'm looking forward to learning to join the Riverdance troupe when we reach Dublin ;)@Andtian2_4, I can't load the 2nd or last video either...hopefully a glitch that will be straightened out by Tuesday.
    I took a peek at the other team's spreadsheets, and although I have no idea how to figure out the points (may the luck of the Irish be with you on that one, @murdog3t!), we definitely killed it in miles traveled! Way to go Team!! :smiley:

    very fun. Did the first two videos after Zumba this morning. The second link doesn't work, but the third link has the first basic step.

    @hawkins410, I am not looking at overage points, but we really killed it on mileage!! I think we have the most miles.

    Top O' the morning to you lovely people!! I have my first 25 in for the journey.

    Working on figuring out how to get blue into my food this week. I am having salad this week that has lots of green and orange and purple. I have meatballs in tomato sauce. I do need to stop at the store tonight so I can grab something blue then.

    Hope you all have a great day and a safe start to Ireland!

    I can definitely do the food colors and we love corned beef and cabbage at my house, so I will be busting out the crock pot on Tuesday night! I'm not sure if I will load point correctly or not, but hopefully my 'yes's and no's' will be good enough?! Good luck to everyone this week!

    I asked, and the leprechaun named mallowbar answered: we DO get extra credit again for every 10% we go over the necessary miles to get to the Emerald Isle! We achieved 50% when the mileage was high; just think what we can do on this leg! :) Go Team 6 degrees of awesome!! :)

    I read it as at least one of every color everyday ( I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like much of a challenge if its one color per day). And it's blue OR purple. I recommend fig butter from trader joe's. It taste great with peanut butter, and it's purple. Or you can do frozen mixed berries and make a smoothie.

    Last week was challenging for me. I did a lot of emotional eating. If I was on my own I would probably throw my hands up and say oh well. I'm super grateful for this challenge and for everyone's encouragement. I'm going to really focus on making healthy food choices this week. Good luck everyone!!

I recommend fig butter from trader joe's. It taste great with peanut butter, and it's purple. Or you can do frozen mixed berries and make a smoothie.

    All this is the section we are trying to make sense of:

    I want you for five out of seven days color your plate with one or more of the following. Red, orange or yellow,blue or purple,green and white. Thry can be fruit or veg. You must eat each at least once out of the five days.

    I am taking it that you pick either Red, Yellow or Orange and eat something of that color. Pick blue or Purple and eat that. Green and white are "mandatory" And you must eat each at least once in the five days, meaning that as long as you hit all colors in the week, you are good for the points.

    What do you all think?

    @Diana6ft, I am sorry that you had a rough week. Just remember we are here for you whenever you need somewhere to vent. We got you!

    Thanks ladies! It's already starting off great! As far as the rainbow plate thing goes, I'm going to eat one of each everyday. I really need something to help me focus on good nutrition.
