    I made ginger tea.
    I usually have plain milk in the evening but decided to make ginger tea as it was the only spice I had (from the given list). I steeped in some freshly grated ginger with a teabag for five minutes, filtered it and added milk. Although I normally don't drink it with sugar, I added a bit of sugar to balance the ginger taste and it was just perfect! I found online that it's good for digestion and helps with cough and cold symptoms and I did find it soothing to my throat and I liked the flavour. I might try it now and then as a change from plain milk.

    Sorry team... my plan was to hit this week hard. Well instead life hit me hard. Woke up really achy n not feeling well yesterday.. tried to lie to myself but today proved it. middle ear infection and bronchitis are the diagnosis after feeling really bad and going to doctor per my hubby insistance. thankfully i was at the doc when my bp dropped super low so iv and fluids were my afternoon. Not sure what i will be able to get done this week but i will try after giving myself at least tomorrow to rest.

    @sandkp I'm so sorry to hear about your health! You've really been hit hard. I hope you start feeling better soon.
    We have a new teammate, my friend @stk76. She's a great addition to the team!
    I made a dinner using coriander and was crossing my fingers that it was on the list but it looks like I'll have to try something with thyme or ginger. I've got those in my spice cabinet :smile:

    Welcome @stk76!

    Team! Please check out the Jessica Smith video for the second challenge. It's a really great workout for sore muscles. I felt so good while doing it and it's going in my 'favourites' list.

    I made ginger tea.
    I am not sure if it will count ... but i made ginger honey tea from a teabag dropped off by my neighbor. I was diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday so she dropped it on my front door to help me feel better when getting kids off to school. I drank it .. but have no real taste right now so it was hot liquid.. but was reheated several times before i could finish due to falling alseep.

    Thanks @shauna30. For someone who usually doesnt get really sick much its been a bad month.

    I tried watching videos and walking in place for at least the bonus points but that caused a coughing fit so may try again tomorrow.

    I made Beef and Broccoli Stirfry with Cabbage, Peppers and Onions.
    I was sent an email with a few diabetic recipes in it and this is one I chose to make. It has fresh ginger in it and it was tasty! I served it over brown rice and my husband and I had a very healthy dinner.

    Mom, we were on the same wavelength! I made chicken vegetable stir fry with ground ginger in the sauce. It was so good that my husband had two bowls. It was a great way to eat vegetables!

    Morning team. I have to apologize, as I am having a terrible week in terms of getting any exercise in. I am not sure if I am fighting off something, but I have had zero energy this week. We had a "snow day" yesterday and I went to sleep for a couple of hours during the day! I Never do that! I will try and get back on track. :(

    Welcome new team members!! Great to have you.

    I'm feeling *much* better this week, and am back on the bandwagon. Lifted weights Monday and yesterday, climbed on Tuesday, and did some small bits of cardio in between.

    I'm going camping this weekend (thank god it's finally somewhat warm enough), so I'll get those challenges done before I go. I'm beyond excited to get some hiking done and take a mental break from work/homework.

    I'm watching my daughter at gymnastics practice and their conditioning today includes a burpee that I could NEVER do. When they stand to jump up, they go directly into a back flip. I can't even handle a regular burpee!
