@SmashleyM914 Here are some screenshots of the spreadsheet! Do you have access to them while on vacation? If not I can try and update you nightly. BTW - great job kicking butt away from home!




We've managed to just barely make it back into 2nd place. A lot of our big number ballers haven't logged yet though. I am super proud of us, this says a lot to everyone contributing and pulling their weight!

I'm hoping to complete the videos tomorrow morning. I leave for my trip very early Saturday morning. I'm not sure how this is going to work if we have workout videos next week and I'm camping... hopefully I'll have some sort of service!

I was laying in bed this morning when I heard those voices in my head again. I got up when I heard - the rest of the time is giving it their all Why are you being a slacker and not a smasher? I did a be fit video on you tube. Your tube has a bunch of free workouts. I need to get some walking in. Winds have died down so it will be a good but cool day to walk

MonicaA2013

Today is a other indoor day for me. I have my job this morning, and then hubby needs some help with his work this afternoon, so I will be getting some unplanned minutes with him.
THEN it looks like the rest of the week will be drier so I should be able to get some running and walking done outside !! OMG the rain is such a killjoy !! My abs workout is slowly coming along I have a few days to make up for but I am working it. I am also beginning to feel the onset of Pre-TOM UUGGG. SO we will see how that plays out the next week and a half.

LET'S GO TEAM SMASHERS !!!

Challenge #3-I made a ginger berry smoothie. It was really good and refreshing. I will definitely make it again. I have lots of ginger root left over, so I think I will try ginger tea tonight.

AshleyMFitness16

As of right now I don't have spreadsheet access I'll try to fix it but not sure it'll happen.
Heading to Disney so I'll have another high minute day
If you guys could work as a team to chase the non-loggers I'd greatly appreciate it!!!

Happy Thursday, Smashers

I spent the day at universal today... OMG! I walked too and from the park too. My feet hurt like crazy! I got 24000 steps. My highest since I have been wearing my Garmin. And we get to do it again at Magic Kingdom tomorrow. I am going to need to get on the cruise on Saturday for some R&R

Sorry team, I was in an accident on Tuesday and have been rather sore since. Then my husband decided we needed a 12 hour road trip yesterday. I have just completed both Challenge 1 and 2. I will try to get more time in tomorrow.

@MissionEnforcer - "CHALLENGE #3"

I USED FRESH GINGER AND ESCALLIONS IN A SOUP.

I ALWAYS USE FRESH ESCALLIONS FOR A LOT OF MY SALADS LIKE COUSCOUS SALAD AND POTATO SALAD BUT NEVER IN SOMETHING WARM. THIS WAS ACTUALLY VERY NICE. ALSO MAY HAVE OVERDONE THE GINGER BUT IT WAS STILL GOOD AND THE WHOLE FAMILY ENJOYED IT. A LITTLE LESS GINGER NEXT TIME

mari_moulin

Hello fellow Smashers, I am so sorry I have been absent this week. I have been nursing a very sick 18 month old all week. My Sammy has hand mouth and foot disease and has been out of daycare which is why I haven't been able to go to the gym. I did the challenge videos and a couple of youtube walking videos here at home when the baby napped but not much. I wish I could have helped more with miles this week but the baby has been very clingy and unable to eat or drink much of anything so its just been too hard. He seems better in himself today and the sun is finally out (rain all week) so we may go out for a nice long walk and finally get some much needed fresh air. I will do my best to get a few more minutes before then end of the week but i will not be able to max out this week.

LisaPower123

Hi all.

I just did the videos in the hotel bathroom while my family was sleeping. I should max out on minutes today.

Hopefully those that haven't done the challenges will find the time.

MonicaA2013

@tarpguys OMG I hope you are doing better. Hubby has a knack for timing doesn't he..LOL

@mari_moulin I do hope your little Sam gets better soon. It's so tough when the littlest ones get sick. Just do what you can when you can focus on the baby.

@lpeltenburg Nice way to get in the videos..LOL Have fun walking all over the land of "FUN".

Today is Friday !!! I will go to work then it's FINALLY supposed to dry out so I will get out for a MUCH NEEDED RUN !! I might take tomorrow off (another wet one) ,then on Sunday we are planning on getting out for a nice long walk/hike. PLUS I will get another run in .

HAVE A GREAT DAY !!

Sounds like we have several on the team having a rough week. I hope it gets a little better for everyone.
I've completed two challenges and will finish the 3rd today. I'm really tired and a little sore from yesterday. Still have the darn sore throat too. Probably take it pretty easy today. I'm still on track to max out this week.

aim630

I won't be able to get many minutes today, but will try to catch up this weekend. I will be in New Orleans on a business trip next Tuesday through Friday, and may not be able to log much, but I'll try to get in as many minutes as possible.

Hope every one that had a rough week has a better weekend.

Challenge 3
I used ginger. Tried making some tea with it yesterday and I didn't use enough ginger because it barely tasted like anything. Tried again today with more ginger and let it steep longer and I liked it. It wasn't as easy as just dropping a tea bag in, but I'll probably do it again. I liked the little zing the ginger had to it.

bowlt

"CHALLENGE #3"
I used Ginger
I made a tea type of drink out of it and drank several cups trying different variety of things in it.

Challenge 3 @MissionEnforcer
I used some thyme on my roasted veggies ( potatoes,brocolli, cauliflower) was so good great flavors!!

digger61

Sorry team. I finally entered my minutes for the week. Was on the road most of the week so when I got hom tonight I was able to get the exercise videos in.
