@ka97: I love your careful choice of words about Challenge #1! "Interesting" is such a diplomatic way for you to express your love of video challenges!
I want to wish you and @mswanger09
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! We've been "dancing together" for an entire year now!
@katharmonic: Thank you for that great cheesecake idea! Who knew?
GREAT JOB TO @mts7471, @aenglehardt347, @katharmonic, @wolvinnetje, @120maggie (of course), and @ka97 for already completing all 3 challenges!
WHO IS NEXT ON THE 100% LIST?0 -
Challenge #1 complete! Last night I did the challenge video. A little modifying needed with my knee acting up. But I took it easy and got it completed. Today I took the day off work just cuz! Haven't done that in a while. So I'm going to relax and do some small workout sessions throughout the day. I had planned in making banana pancakes (1egg and 1 banana) to keep things light and was disappointed when I found out hubby took 2 bananas to work today
so I'll have to go get some and try them tomorrow.
So glad to see we are in Jamaica!! Everyone is doing an amazing job!!!2 -
What about me @hawkins410???? Wasn't I on the same team with you and @ka97 and @mswanger09 last March? Or were we competing against each Other?1

Feels great to be in Jamaica!
Last night was so cold out. It was -28 with a very brisk wind. It was the first time, since we started a few years ago, that my wife and I did not complete our evening walk. We turned around just after halfway.
Going to the gym this afternoon and then planning the videos for Saturday.
Five of our pups get their permanent caretakers today! 2 more tomorrow and the last one on Monday.
They have been such a riot.

Good news! We've changed our flight so I will get home on Saturday which means I can cook on Sunday so I can get the challenge points! About to do challenge 2 right now then I'm playing in a golf tournament so lots of minutes today. Tomorrow will be a big fat zero though.
Challenge 2 done! I liked it. Let's hope it translates into good golf!2 -

It was the "Spring Break Training Challenge", designed & run by @Melodieccurn. I'm not sure if you played in that one. @MissionEnforcer and I started the "Amazing Race - Summer Heat" on June 20th and that is when this awesome, fantastic, wonderful team of you, @Vowder, @cardbucfan, @mamaelf2008, @mts7471, @wolvinnetje, and @LeoLivingByDesign first started together. We've just kept getting better and better with more beautiful players (@TamiJo1004, @aenglehardt347, @katharmonic, @Ingrid2017, @AlethaMary, @GSXRGIRL61, @ejdp254, @junodog1, @smile_laughter, and @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn ) ever since!What about me @hawkins410???? Wasn't I on the same team with you and @ka97 and @mswanger09 last March? Or were we competing against each other?
@wolvinnetje: Thank you! I have a bit of a drive to get to the trail, but the ocean view and nice breeze is worth it. Tara was a very naughty puppy today! I'd like to take her to the snow! Any volunteers?
@Vowder: ONE MORE PUPPY PICTURE BEFORE THEY ALL LEAVE PLEASE?!
@mamaelf2008: Your name is now added to the 100% Challenge Completed List. WHO IS NEXT?
IDITAROD UPDATE: Four days into the race, Mitch Seavey (51 y/o) is leading the pack and is way ahead of his son, Dallas. There are currently 4 women in the Top 10! Woot Woot!
WE NEED A JAMAICAN BARTENDER!

Now I'm so ready for bed, but my new springform pan came in the mail today and I had to try this low calorie protein cheesecake recipe community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10500016/low-calorie-protein-cheesecake. It's in the oven right now and will need to cool so I won't eat it until tomorrow but the batter tasted delicious. I made chocolate with some chocolate chips in it. I hope it's good!
@aenglehardt347 that dish sounds good - lots of flavor in there.
@hawkins410 I'm so into those huts on the water you posted. Wish I could be in there soaking up the Jamaican sun. I'm also jealous of your hike with Tara - looks gorgeous! No spring springing here.
@smile_laughter - Mmm chicken tikka masala sounds really good too. I have a crockpot recipe for it that I made a few times this winter that was good and easy. No ginger in it though I don't think, but I'm sure that adds a lot.
@ka97 hope you can take a rest day and recharge.
I will have to try this cheesecake recipe.1 -
One of my friend is doing this morning detox. I am going to try it starting tomorrow. If anyone would like to try here is the recipe.

Good morning Team
First excuse me for the low minutes this week I just couldn't find the time for it.
This weekend I hopefully can make some minutes.
We doing an amazing job again this week we are on pole position again (F1 language)
We are the Lewis Hamilton off this challenge hahahahah I realize that this is a european thing you have your indian races and 24H of le man we have Formule 1 and our favorite Max Verstappen.
hahahaha Sorry @hawkins410 the guy is not really my "cup of tea" but hey there is more left for you girls....I have to be stoned like bob marley before I like that kind of man (I mean men with long hair before there comes misunderstandings) hahahahah
And Ryan Gosling is to girly ohhhhh hear me with my big mouth hahahahah if I have all the choice of the world duhhhhhhhh
Anyhow we are the best again!!!This is a real thing to be proud of every wek defend our no1 position that must be a bunch of people that are full of faith and cooperation.
Even with all the sickness we had we were the best!!
So let us enjoy and let make us up for the last week of this wonderful challenge.

I did Video 1 of Challenge 1. I liked it! I can sway my hips!
It's been a long week but I am trying to get caught up today.1 -
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND!1 -
I'm maxed out on minutes so all I have left to do is challenge 3. Gotta think of what I can make that my family will eat!2
-
Did Challenge 2! Loved it! I wish my dogs were as relaxed as peanut was in the beginning1
-
@mts7471 - thank you! That sounds delicious and I will definitely try it. I also only eat white meat chicken.
The cheesecake turned out pretty well! I was impressed as I've only made cheesecake once or twice and wasn't expecting a whole lot from a lower calorie version. I think I rushed the cooling too much and it was not quite as creamy as I would like. I used chocolate protein powder and added chocolate chips. Next time I think I'd use vanilla and top with fruit.
It is freezing cold and snowing here and I'm completely over it. I'm officially on spring break and I want spring weather! Blah. I went to a power hot yoga class this morning at a brand new yoga studio - so the class was free for their opening weekend. It was great, I loved it and ended up buying a class pass. They also have a juice bar and I got a delicious smoothie. Then I went to the Y and did a 30-minute treadmill run because I skipped my long run this morning. After grabbing some lunch I got home and had to take Stella for a walk. Ugh, so cold. I should have reversed the order of all that and done hot yoga last.
Anyway - I've made it to exactly 700 minutes for the week, all challenges are done, and I'm about to take a nice cozy nap! Have a great Saturday everyone!3 -

That's great on the yoga class!1 -
Challenge #3
I went for ginger like a lot of you as it was easy to find. By chance though today i found some shallots on offer and i hadn't realised that these were also called Escallions! So i used both in my carrot and coriander soup . ( plus garlic, salt,pepper, veg stock oh and some double cream )
When i first cut up the ginger i was really suprised by the smell - it was so fresh and zingy! not at all like the powdered ginger i normally use. I was worried id used too much until i tried the soup, then i though i hadn't used enough as i couldn't taste it initially, but after a few spoon fulls the flavour came through - really impressed i was!
I also added a few drops of Piri Piri sauce (made from African Birds eye chili as i couldn't find the Scotch Bonnet!)2 -
Hi Everybody, Somehow a post or two I made from my phone disappeared?? Yes, I will forgive you @hawkins410 I was with you guys on the six degree of awesome team and stayed with Melodiecum in the summer challenge when you and Steve climbed the Alps!!
My younger daughter is home from college and we are enjoying some shopping and hanging out. I did a short but tough 40 minute Zumba routine before she got up. --- I was going to try and persuade her to join my Saturday morning walking group, but everybody wimped out with the cold temperatures.
@katharmonic I will try that Cheese cake recipe. It looks great!
I know a lot of us have finished Challenge 3, but if you haven't ----a very simple and flavorful way to use ginger is stir ginger paste into lime or lemon juice and marinate fish. I made tilapia the other day. I had the fish in the marinate for a few minutes before I rolled it in four with other spices. Then I pan "fried" it with cooking spray. Easy and delicious.1 -
REMEMBER!!!!
This one may be won on miles! The challenges are very doable for EVERYONE. I wouldn't be surprised if we see other teams at our goal of 100% challenges. SO KEEP on KEEPING on!!! THE RESULTS ARE NOT FINAL UNTIL THE SPREADSHEET IS CLOSED!!
