    Is banana in yellow group, or in white? If in white is that a color of the rainbow? I have seen it in different color groups in charts.

    I have only seen it listed as white, but if you need yellow, call it yellow. We never called this a "Rainbow Challenge". It is just meant as a challenge to get all of us eating an array of healthy foods. Eating a variety of different colors (or non-color, as in the case of white), is a good place to start, especially for those of us who might be in the habit of eating too much of the same thing. Just follow MissionEnforcer's instructions when posting, and I can guarantee you he will be pretty lenient about the "colors". :)

    @hawkins410 Is it acceptable to do jumping jacks for "The Kangaroo Hop" as part of the hopscotch challenge? I don't have a lot of space - I have resorted to our section of the basement in an effort not to upset my neighbors - so if I can hop on the spot that would be great. I'm aiming to do 3 sets of 5 minutes today and again tomorrow. I feel it is suitable for the challenge, but just want to double check! :)

    @Meowler: It is actually a jump rope challenge and the hopscotch is just an alternative. There is also an alternative with a blue link called "Roo Hopping Alternative". If none of these three work for you, then I suppose jumping jack's are a reasonable substitution. Thank you for asking! :)

    @hawkins410 No problem. Unfortunately I don't have jumping rope or any equipment to substitute it with. As I live in an apartment it's not really a worthwhile investment for me. I've just done 3x 5 minutes of jumping jacks and alternated it with hopscotch on the spot. The jumping jacks feel like a more intense burn. I'll put these down for the challenge, but again if you decide it's not suitable let me know. I'll just need to make up the time elsewhere. :)

    If I do a combo of running and walking, I can just count half of my running miles, right? So I would normally walk half a mile, run 1 mile, walk half...so could I just count that as 1.5 miles?

    Once we watch all 8 videos, can we count the activity minutes? (rounding up I tallied it to 16 minutes)

    When logging to stay under, what if you log late (after midnight )... you were under but nothing shows for status feed? Can we count this?

    Yes. But you might want to make sure you finish by Saturday because the spreadsheet might close before you remember to log on Sunday.

    Thanks for asking! We were called out of town on a family emergency and @MissionEnforcer can't fix it from his phone. He hopes to do it from his laptop in the next couple of hours. We will keep you posted!

    Thank you Lesley! I think everything will be fine, but I must warn everyone: Next week's destination may be a little late. But what else is new, right? :D
