Hey everyone,
I also struggled this week in terms of getting much exercising in. Didn't meet the hiking challenge, but, I did complete 2 & 3! Really proud about the logging and staying under! Was 83 calories over on friday, (grr) but stayed under on saturday to get 5 days under! Managed to do the dances friday and saturday before work - yes...worked on saturday to help get the school ready for classes on monday!! So happy to be back in our school. I still don't have my library which will be a challenge for the year, but it is better than what its been for the last two months. Here's to getting back into routine!1 -

Good morning, team! We're off to New York!0

I am very thankful for my loved ones, they make bad times easier and the good times great. xox2

So, New York is 5002 miles away from Hawaii. Divided by 18 (cautious number of participants) is 278 minutes of exercise per person minimum.
Since I am still "learning to run" a 5K, I did a 5.51K Pilgrim Promenade around town. The temperature is just below freezing with the wind chill (strong northwest winds). There are a few snowflakes in the air but every now and again the sun popped out. I wore a ball cap and ear muffs and put my head down through the wind. One challenge done and 50 minutes of exercise for the team!
I am thankful for so many things. I am going to think about my response and write something later.

Hey guys! I am feeling so much better and off to a great start this week! I ran a mile and a half today, plus waking a warm up and cool down, stretching, and under calories. Plus the day isn't over, so maybe I'll try a little more tonight. Possibly some Rockette stretches? Sorry again I didn't pull my weight last week but I'm totally on it this week!3
-
yup one full set of rocket stretches done here also, and aim to do every other day (added to my warm up for weight lifting). feeling good vibes this week.
My kids are good and sick (daughter home from school today), my son has goop coming out his eyes ), but try and keep them inside, ha with a good foot of snow out there impossible. hopefully they will have (and me too then) a decent night, and be well on the mend tomorrow.
Looks like we are off to a great start as a team (and not in last place for this leg so far!)
lets keep moving.1 -
Hi everyone! I want to apologize for not getting the 1st two challenges completed last week. I couldn't take any vitamins/supplements for a week for calcium testing on Wed and not having meds for 1 day for bloodwork also threw me out of whack for a few days! I had 468 minutes last week and plan to do more this week. Also in the process of packing to move back to LV, yippy!!! I'm ready to get out of this freezing cold weather! @HASWLRS, thank you for the reminder last night and great job on your run!

I am grateful for my life. I have a loving husband, 3 crazy/healthy kids, amazing in laws and parents, cutest dogs and turtle in the world, money to pay bills, cars are running, house is cozy and warm, and I can honestly say that I LOVE my job. I am so blessed with this life.2

Hi all- I did my 5k today. I need to start the rocket workout and will do so tomorrow. I love everyone's positivity for the week.2
-
Hi everyone, slow start to my week...again. Was out last night until 10 visiting a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. Our team seems pumped and ready to rock and roll this week! That's great!!

I agree! There's a lot of positive energy on here! Let's ride the wave!!0

Hello Team!
Good to see a great start!
I did my 5K this morning outside as the weather was mild. I also got in one set of the stretches yesterday and like @Cheriels82 planning to add to my warm up every other day.
I will update the spreadsheet later tonight.2 -
I'm thankful for my family - my husband who is probably the only person who puts up with all my nonsense yet cheers me, motivates me and always brings out the best in me, my children who are sweet and loving, my parents and sisters who are caring and supportive of me always.3
-
Some of you have noticed our new team mate, @BobbGrandsard. He has found his way to the spreadsheet, so I think he is here to stay! Send him a friend request when you get a second to make him feel welcome!

I am truly thankful that my husband and I got to celebrate 25 years of marriage recently. Ten years ago we were, quite literally, one more bad blow up argument away from calling it quits. I know it sounds cliche, but he is now my best friend. We have so much fun together. I am very thankful for our two sons; they have grown into two very special young men and I can't imagine my life without them. I am thankful that my husband has a good job and provides for his family so that we want for nothing, even though I have been known to complain about all the hours he puts in! I am thankful that I live in a free and democratic society in Canada, a country that I love. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends!4

Exercise minutes will become a struggle the rest of the week but I will try....I leave for sunny Florida Keys tomorrow morning. I am so thankful for my family and how amazing they are and the time I get to spend with them. I lost my father at the age of 70 just a little less than 2 years ago so I really am thankful for the time I get to spend with my mom and brother and his family this Thanksgiving.
I am also thankful to My Fitness PAL friends and to those that put all the time and effort into these challenges for those of us who struggle with loosing weight and require some time of motivation. Also to our special team 3 leader Lisa for personally reaching out to me when she knows I am sitting in a corner eating a whole package of oreos and not participating.....I need you and am really thankful for you being so caring.

Ah, thank you, Melanie! I am touched.1

I am thankful for a new start for my adopted country with our new president. My 401K is growing all thanks to the surge in the markets 0

I am so thankful for everything I have right now, because the last year had presented many challenges. The main was that my fiance moved 7 hours away a month before our wedding because he was relocated for a job and we lived apart for 10 months. Now we have moved to Philly and live together again. I love living in the city and now we're also so close to my family. After my sister-in-law had her baby in Oct, we now have 4 handsome nephews. His parents retired so we are also seeing a lot of them (I love my in-laws. I'm very lucky and that's another thing I'm thankful for). I easily found a new job when we moved, and at the end of every day I am truly thankful.3
-
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending some quality time with family, not to mention the yummy food! As for the Amazing Race, there are only 3 days left in this week and we are only 39% of the way to New York! Yikes!1

Did my 5k in steps today by going to a theme park with my family and walking a ton! Also I wanted to say that I am thankful for so many things in my life. I am thankful for my family and their health, I am thankful for my friends that surround me and even shared and invited my family to dinner, especially since we have no family living anywhere near us. I'm thankful for the fact that I have a wonderful relationship with my grandmother and that my grandparents are still here and together even though he will be moving to a home soon due to his Alzheimer's and dementia.
I'm thankful that we were able to explore outside of our own country (Canada) and currently live in warm beautiful Florida. I'm thankful that my husband has a nice job that gives us a nice house and provides us things. I am thankful for the people in the world that do things and make things happen for the good of people and animals that I can't do. Those voices that speak up, those voices and people that make change happen and save lives.
Aside from all those thanks I have that I wanted to share, I'm getting my numbers back up after a lull from last week so yay. Only challenge I have left is the rockettes one.2 -
Hi everyone! It's been a slow week for me exercise-wise, but I did my 5k today. I do a Turkey Trot every year on Thanksgiving, so that was already in my plans. This year, I haven't been running much lately and went out with my sister Wednesday night, so I wasn't sure how I would feel or what kind of pace I would be able to pull off. I was very happy to finish in about 37 minutes--a little slower than usual, but not bad considering my lack of recent training.
I honestly hadn't even looked at this week's challenges until tonight, so I will get started on the Rockette challenge tomorrow--that way I can still follow the rules and spread it out over 3 days.
I'm thankful for my family. I have parents who've supported me my entire life--even as a kid, when my choices were odd or just plain silly, they always have let me be me. I also have two wonderful sisters who I wouldn't trade for the world--they are truly my best friends. I also have a smart and sassy niece who I love to pieces--she's a pill sometimes, but I try hard to let her be her. I also have a terrific husband, and I 'm thankful that we have a relatively comfortable life working in jobs we both enjoy. Finally, I'm thankful for my gorgeous fur-kid, my dog Gunner. He gets me off the couch and out the door, even when I'm less than motivated. He's also available for cuddles at a moment's notice.2 -
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am very thankful for my family. We've had a really nice experience living in VA for the last year and a half on our family journey together. I'm very proud of our boys for staying positive and taking full advantage of the opportunities here. We've made some really good friends here and we have lots of fun memories to look back on. My husband and I, our two boys and our cat Tuffy are ready to move back home! We're all looking forward to spending the Christmas holidays with our extended family on our way back to LV! I'm also very thankful for my fit fam friends and the encouragement, positive attitudes and laughs we share together! 2

Good afternoon, team. I just finished the Rockette stretches. Yes, I did them all in one day, but I took breaks between sets. I used my den and front hall as my "room". It took roughly six minutes to do a set. So 18 minutes total! Your "room" may even be smaller, so it will take you less time to complete! Yes, I am trying to sell these, as not many of you have done them yet! I also went for a 32 minute walk and marched in place to the two New York videos for a total of 57 minutes of exercise today. We are still only 55% of the way there!!
IF YOU'VE GOT NUMBERS TO ENTER, PLEASE DO SO. WE NEED TO ACCURATELY GAUGE OUR PROGRESS!2 -
Just finished the rocket workout. Did other workouts this morning and may get another one in tonight. I hope everyone is doing well. We definitely need to get our times in. We are way behind.
Have a great day.0 -
I am thankful for my family and friends. I would be lost without my parents and my dad's recent double hip operation brought it home that they are not invincible (dad has always been fit, he's basically just worn them down from tennis and squash, lol, 67 and puts me to shame!). Mum and dad have always been there for me no matter what and my friends don't judge me, I can be as weird as I like and it's just like looking in a mirror.
I feel oddly emotional... thanks, Mother Nature LOL.1 -

And yikes do we end our amamzing race if we fail to make it to a destination ?!?! I have been to New York maybe that's why I haven't been rushing but I want to travel some more so come on guys! Hopefully a bunch of you are just celebrating and will check in before the weekend is over.
Hope everyone south of me (I live at the boarder ) are having a great thanksgiving.0
