Swear I had made another post here, but maybe I'm losing my mind! Lol.
Joanna- I think you have your bases covered in relation to the challenges.
We are currently in 2nd place. We also are only 2 days in and nearly half way! Keep up the great work! Loving the Team 2 Beat!!4 -
Got my water goal met and exercise done. Will work on the drum challenge over the next few days.

Good morning (afternoon for Sabreen)! Dogs got me out of bed before my alarm so I'm downstairs with my strength exercises done and move on to the elliptical and can actually do a little longer one.
It does feel really nice to have challenge 2 done. Water is going well for me, most of the time I don't struggle with that, especially during the work week. Hope u all have a great day! 4 -
Hi Team! I am still sore from my meter dashes. I did 2 short walks at full speed, but that was all I could muster. Day 2 on the water done. I normally drink 96 ounces a day, adding in one more cup to hit my 100 ounces makes me feel water logged. 3 more days!
For some reason after work I had to eat everything in sight. I wasn't hungry, I just had the munchie cravings. I get this way about once a month and am usually able to hold it off. This has been the most severe it has been in a long while. I gave in to it, and 750 calories over goal, my body felt great. I am going with I must of needed all that crap. Ha ha...

I wish we could log intensity of workout....cause I had a good run today....5km in 28 minutes. I may need to slow my 5km down to get more minutes
I will log my minutes at the end of the day ... cause after the Jays win today I may need to go to the gym for a bit to celebrate!!

Ugh...I need to run off the crazy today. Its only 7am and I am already done with the day. I forgot to charge my garmin (guess its a free run by feel today) and then ran over my toe with an equipment case. Nice blood blister forming. Of course its on the opposite foot as the slice I took off my heal last Thursday. ARGGHHH....need exercise endorphins.
Just a heads up that Thursday and Sunday are my rest days since I do a long run sandwich Friday, Saturday. Right now the sandwich isn't that long so I might squeeze in some strength or walking but I really need those two days off to stay healthy as I approach marathon training. I'll try to put in big numbers on the other days of the week to compensate.3 -
still struggling with the post viral ME today so taking it easy - have done a couple of short walks down to the horses so I have added a few minutes - sorry its not more - as soon as I am well enough I will be on it BIG time!!!

It is wonderful to see everyone striving for a little something today. Just remember to treat your body right/not over due it. If you are normally a cardio person, maybe 15-20 minutes of some yoga, or push ups, sit ups on your rest day. It doesn't have to be a lot or super intense.
For all of you who haven't done Challenge 1, could you please work on it?
@jenilla1 I know you aren't supposed to have other friends (I totally get it, and respect it) If your family is okay with it, could you send out friend requests, and then wait 2-3 days and then remove your friends? I know my feelings wouldn't be hurt if you did it. No problem either way. I was just thinking of a way to help you get those points.2 -

@MissionEnforcer - Challenge #1
I live in a small town in Illinois near St. Louis. I love where we live now because we have 5 acres and actually can walk around the property and get a good walk in if we want/find the time. Also, not far from us is a hiking trail (although we have only been one time and I was shocked when I went to find the picture that it was back in 2012!!) that takes you up to a cliffside overlooking the Mississippi River Valley. It is absolutely gorgeous up there. The weather here changes all the time it seems. We just had a high of 91 on Monday and will be having lows in the lower 40s tomorrow night. Now that the snakes might be done for the season, maybe I'll have to try to talk the husband into revisiting the hiking trail.
Also, I have had success with all friend requests minus Jenilla who wishes to keep her MFP private. Thank you!!4 -
We got to take a short little field trip this morning and go watch a Steam Locomotive going across our bridge. It was pretty cool. Of course that field trip, combined with an unexpected task coming up right at lunch, meant I had to skip the gym. Luckily my AM workout was longer than normal, and hopefully I can do something this evening, but no promises. It is Survivor night!! Yeah!! (I have watched every episode of Survivor since it began and am still as addicted!!)

The river and an old mill that is said to be haunted. I run and cycle this old rail trail!5 -
My bichon is loving this challenge. He is getting longer walks. Before this I was a couch potato once I got home from work. Less exhausted than I used to be after being on my feet 8-12 hours depending on my schedule. Some days I need to sprint from one end of the hall to the other in order to keep dementia patients safe. Usually 7000 steps on my fitbit for each 8 hour workday and I'm pushing a medcart back and forth on carpeting most of the day.
After supper I will get some more minutes in as I watch t.v. but nothing strenuous, shooting for 60 minutes a day.
Nice job everyone and I love the pictures.2 -
@MissionEnforcer
Walked aggressively for two hours today plus yard work =181 active minutes Yoo-hoo!
Water quota complete. Great day. Have 1,000 calorie deficit. Is that still pro weight loss?1 -

Yes, Thanks. Tagging is only necessary when stated in the specific challenge (your challenge numbers will be "red" until I approve your posts). I also remind you about the verification challenges in the Red Box on the spreadsheet.1 -
looks like everyone is so so awesome!! Congrats you all for working so hard!
@ibenson2006 if you don't mind can up please up the spreadsheet for me since I still cannot do it on my phone. Below is what I got in today:
131 mins yoga
2 rounds of all the drumming videos
All water intake completed (140 onces)
Challenge#1- complete
Challenge #2 - 1/2 way complete
Challenge #3 - 3/5 days complete

@Raasy I added your minutes for today. I can't remember, is this your 1st attempt on the videos so you still have one more go round to do plus the chant 3 times or had you already done some and this completes it. Also, have you gotten all your requirements for challenge 1 completed so I can put your 10 points in there?0
-
For all team members, it looks like mission enforcer has begun checking some of the challenge 1 points and starting to accept them. He is either still in the process of checking them, or I fear, he has checked and does not see all the requirements for some of us. Before Friday afternoon, if you don't mind, please check your number and if it still red, let's try to figure out what we are missing.
I have also noticed some have tagged him and done their descriptions but not added the points to the spreadsheet. If you feel you have completed the challenge, please double check to make sure you put your points in there.
Thanks everyone for all your hard work!!2 -
Jen - I can't tell you how many times over the last several weeks that I was eating like that. My diary was atrocious. Thank goodness I finally got it in check this week...so far! Lol
Lynn - not sure if that's the team name or not. I kind of like it. Great activity for the day. As for the calorie deficit, I'm not sure. I always attempt to get as close to 0 as I can. I only credit myself for 1/2 my calories burned though. Today I still had over 200 calories to consume and wasn't hungry so I ended up drinking a slim fast.
Sorry, I was going to try to catch up on everyone's posts, but I am falling asleep as I'm trying to do it.

As my introduction post/ Where I live post were before monday I fear they did not count so I am reposting.
All Friend requests sent. Almost all have been accepted
Will be drumming soon but I fear the water challenge got the best of me. It has however made me aware of how much more water I should be drinking.

LOL! That's what I was thinking! I wondered if I should slow down my run pace so I could get more minutes in.

Sorry everyone again for getting an exemption on the friending part of this challenge. I shouldn't have any other weird issues for the remainder of the race. I apologize if I'm making it awkward for anyone.
I did complete the description/introduction part. Do I get partial credit for that or is it an all-or-nothing thing OR does the exemption mean that I don't impact the score at all?0
