    Welcome to the team! We are so happy to have you! Don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you'd like, as there is no such thing as a stupid question! B)

    going on day 3 of no chocolate. That dark cho, molassas and nut bar keeps calling to me. I am catching a flight on Saturday so I plan to take it with me for a treat! :smile:

    My dad has been in the hospital since Friday so I haven't had the time to walk outside or use my elliptical. He just got moved to rehab. I think all the nurses think I am crazy doing squats and such while I am keeping my dad company. (he is asleep most of the time) Hoping to get in my walk/run on Sunday when I get to Alabama. The weather is about 25-30 degrees higher at my daughter's house. She said we can go walk the Appalachian "foothills" .


    FYI - someone has accidentally marked 150 min on Wed under my name. It wasn't me. :smile:

    Challenge #1
    I had a lovely run along the lock gates.
    I jogged 3.4km
    There was a strong storm here last week so it was lovely to get a chance to run outside after being confined to the gym!

    Hello team 6. My name is Lisa and I, too, have been assigned to your team. Last race I was captain for team 3 but had to leave early. I was not ready to fully commit to coming back to the race when it started up again in January. So when Clarice posted that she needed bodies to fill empty spaces, I told her I could help out and maybe redeem myself. I am excited to get back into exercising more and getting back on track.

    I just completed challenge #2. I did the total body beginner workout video. My shoulder has been sore, so a video that didn't use weights was the right one for me.

    This weekend I'm spending the time with my grandkids. So I need to get all my challenges complete before than. My daughter has a pool so I will have to take my grandson, yay! Plus when him and grandpa watches movies, I might get yoga session in. Go figure, the weather isays, rain, rain, rain, lol

    You are brave to make brownies on a week that you're giving up chocolate! I gave up soda this week, and have begged and pleaded my husband not to bring soda into the house! My daughter had a little soda left in the fridge, and I made her drink the rest of it for lunch today, because I was definitely tempted, but resisted! thankful for green tea to help me get off my soda kick this week. Also thankful that I enjoy tea without any sugar in it. Wish I felt that way towards coffee. I'd probably drink more coffee if I liked it black.

    Day 3/5 of going without soda. 2 days left! We can do this, Six pack!

    I'm not laughing Jackie but I know exactly how you feel. I have been known to throw "stuff" out to the garbage so it is not in the house!!! GOOD LUCK!

    I live in Alaska and my son's 2nd grade teacher did the Iditarod so we went to Anchorage to cheer her on. It really was as fun as all the pictures and video's show.

    @Tiffany7711 - that must have been amazing watching the start of the Iditarod - lucky you.

    The giving up chocolate is good so far - I think it's the fact that I know I have to do this for the whole of March so therefore not thinking about when I can have some as it's too far away!
