    @carinamenina the flu is going around so bad that I went to visit my grandma in the hospital and had my son with me, they wouldn't let him in the hospital! If you're not a patient and under 12 you're not allowed in the hospital

    We are only 70 points out of first and could make that up with everyone completing the challenges. I just finished the last foot massage and I only need another 20 minutes for the 700 max. I'll get that when I do my yoga tonight. :)

    CHALLENGE #3: “GRAB A BAG OF BUGS!”

    1. WHAT DID YOU TRY? RAW Tomatoes

    2. TELL US ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE. I have NEVER liked RAW tomatoes. I can eat all the tomato products but the raw food itself has always been just wrong to me..LOL SO i have tried it a few times over the years and just haven't been able to deal with the texture and flavor. BUT i decided i would try it ONE more time because its one of those things YOU KNOW... THIS time it wasn't so bad. I was able to swallow it and not have to spit it out, so that is MAJOR progress for me.

    Crap! The only way we can beat team one is if all the challenge points get filled and some of those under 700 minutes to get some last minute miles in!! Go! Go! Go!!

    We are doing awesome this week! Only one blank spot on the challenges and 9 of us maxed out on minutes. A couple more were super close. Way to go, Smashers!

    I did also try a form of a veggie lasagna. I made a couple for DH and then one for me. OMG it was really good. I got a local made sauce that was really good. g8x62vt5mrmp.jpg I had to have a great salad with it. zq7ajzlkgf1o.jpg
    30pytoupjk27.jpg I just feel so much better when I eat in terms of nutrition. Then I had to go for a walk. Note. In the veggie one that I made for myself there is only 1 noodle in it. All veggies. Let me tell you that it was really good

    I did it, I did it! I finally had a week where I maxed out on minutes, and with only an hour to spare. Took a lot of walking circles inside my house (which is tiny so that's a lot of circles) but I made it. Feeling good about that. Even hit my step goal today, which is super rare for today because I usually rest completely on Sundays so I average closer to 4-5k steps. But I really wanted to help out the team :) We rock, Smashers!!!

    Argh!! 5 points!! This is so frustrating!! BUT, you all did an amazing job again. We are always right behind Team 1. I am sure we are causing them all kinds of stress because we are always so close behind. We can still win this Team! Only 70 points from 1st place total so far! We can totally catch up! Lets have a successful week 5!!
