Husband and I took Maggie for a sunset trail walk. Beautiful sky but no way could stark woods compete with those southern California pictures!!3

I just want to apologize to everyone for my low numbers. The first part of the week was trashed because of after school obligations, and then I caught a cold or whatever. I've succumbed to the snottiness that is prevalent at the high school (my day job).
I will have video 2 done tomorrow. No worries, I promise.3 -

It's been a long week at my elementary too. Attitudes and sickness swarming around. You always come through!
I had low numbers this week! I am trying but there is no way I can max out.
Plus side video 2 is nice!2 -

THANKS for your high numbers week after week!!! Appreciate the update on the challenges.2 -
Challenge 3
Spice: Ginger
I made my Skinny Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops!
The marinade consists of rice vinegar, light brown sugar, light soy sauce, and ginger.
I had a baked sweet potato because I saw a post on here about them and wanted them. I don't put any butter on my sweet potato so I sprinkled a little ginger on it. It was good. This is one of my favorite meals I have not made in a long time.4 -
Completed all 3 challenges and added 220 minutes!4

I made the chicken sausage kabobs with a thyme marinade today. Very tasty. While I was out of town DH bought a pot roast for me to cook on Sunday. Looks like I will be making jerk chicken one night next week instead of this weekend.
On Sunday I will post challenges one and two Just don't have them done yet. Got up and went to the office this morning then slept the afternoon away. I don't always sleep well away from home so I was catching up. This trip I was sharing a room and once I woke up in the morning - at 05:00 or so - I was afraid to go back to sleep. My husband says my snoring is worst in the morning after I have stirred and gone back to sleep.
I did not want to inflict that on another person. (And I didn't want her talking in the office about my snoring.) 1 -

Now that's motivation!! I'll have to look at this again in the morning to get me going!!
Have a great night everyone2 -
We can end this week strong!
Let's fill up those challenge points! Good news is Challenges 1 & 2 this week can be done in one day without exhausting yourself. Last Race I tried to knock out 2 challenges on Monday and it was a dance one with 4 videos. Then just step ups and boy did I feel it for days. These won't do that.
After this week, we have one week!!!!2 -
So I guess the three year old sensed the time change and decided to rebel. In our time zone it changes at 2 am, he awoke at 1:59 am. And now it's almost 5 am and we're still up!0

Team 4 is rallying! We need to GET BUSY!! I've got 165 active minutes to get - I need to get moving NOW!!

I am up hitting the minutes just went for a 30 minute fast paced walk with the dog and already had 30 minutes of exercise before! I am aiming for 200 again today. It won't max me out but get me close!3
-
Hey team - I hope to get 200+ minutes of working out today. My kids are leaving at noon, my honey will be sleeping, so I have the entire house to myself to just have fun! So.....my fun is choosing to workout (weird, eh?).
If I overlooked anyone - so sorry!
@cardbucfan - I hope your knee is feeling better. Welcome home. I also hope your flight home was a good one. Did you enjoy your time in AZ (besides hurting your knee)? We hit 91 degrees yesterday (yuck). Awesome job on maxing out your minutes, too.
@Vowder - I bet it is hard letting go of such cuteness! But, it is also probably nice getting the house back. The pups are so dang cute! (I know I know.....we are all saying this......but they are!).
How is your ankle feeling?
@hawkins410 - I love the pics of Tara on the hikes. You definitely live somewhere beautiful. Tara looks so happy. Thanks for the encouragement to get the challenges done, too.
@120maggie - That is great that you got some time with your daughter. Nice job getting the challenges done.
@katharmonic - Is the hot yoga class a Bikram studio or another style of yoga? I am so glad you tried it! Most people shy away from the heat (it took me 5 years to finally break down and try Bikram yoga because I hate being hot except when I workout.......plus I have always found yoga incredibly boring). But.....I love Bikram yoga......it's definitely a power yoga, so that's probably why I like it. Great job on trying something new.
@TamiJo1004 - I agree with wishing my dogs were that calm during yoga! My dogs kept playing around me during the challenges (little rugrats). I love the stress less list. I should print and post that on my refrigerator.
@ejdp254 - your carrot and coriander soup sounds amazing! Great job getting the challenges in.
@mts7471 - I have heard so much about having apple cider vinegar as a detox. How are you liking it so far?
@wolvinnetje - I agree, I don't like the long hair on the guy, too. But.....I do like me some Ryan Gosling........oh boy.
No worries on the low workout minutes this week. I am a little low, too. But....I hope to make up some today.
@MimiOfTheLusciousLawn - you are right.....team 4 is in 1st place right now. I am going to try to get a ton of workout minutes today........thanks for the push!
@mamaelf2008 - Thanks for the push on Fitbit......I greatly appreciate it. I am still looking at your recipe from earlier this week......I may try it tomorrow.
@junodog1 - I hope your trip is going well. I totally understand about the snoring thing! My honey says the same thing about me.
@GSXRGIRL61 - you have always done so amazing with the challenges and workouts, so no worries if you have a low number week. I hope you feel better soon.
Go Team!

Challenge 3
Nutmeg and Allspice
I made steel cut oats and added nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon.
I usually just add a packet of Splenda and a bunch of berries but old mother Hubbard had nothing on my empty cupboards after leaving the house with college kids so oatmeal it was!
I have to say I wasn't a fan of the flavor it added and won't be continuing this version.2 -
All done for the week. You would not believe what a disaster my house is! I'm so mad at my kids. I gave them a full 24 hour headsup and it's disgusting. Then they got up early (and remember-my body is 3 hours earlier!) to go to the St. Pete Grand Prix. I've already texted him to plan accordingly that he's not allowed to go back to college without cleaning up everything. Grrr. I can't even start laundry!1
-
Hi Everyone, Looks like we're behind again because of challenges! It would be sad to lose our undefeated status, this late in the race! FYI @ejdp254 and @wolvinnetje : We had our time change last night, so the spreadsheet will be closing an hour earlier then usual (for you).
Have a Great Day!

I don't look like them either! Rhythm isn't my thing! But I had fun anyway!2 -
Challenge #3:
I used Ginger as well. My meals were already prepped for the week except for the sauce. Each week I do meals of various roasted vegetables, beef or chicken and pasta (I am addicted, so I allowed portioned amounts to keep on a meal plan were I enjoy the food)....sometimes cheese is added as well....then for each meal I make a "sauce" that varies depending on my mood.
For the challenge I went with a Garlic Ginger vinegarette...it was delicious.
For bonus points I made Apple Spice cookies today for my husband using both ginger and nutmeg, I had one when it was fresh out of the oven, not bad, but I am not a huge fan of baked goods.
Great work team, let's finish strong!!2 -
Tough weekend here. I took not just one, but two complete days off from exercise, and for no good reason other than I just didn't feel like it. I think I"m having serious TOM symptoms. It's been a looooooooong time since it's been this bad. I almost skipped today's run as well, but I got out there and did 6.5 miles. I actually felt pretty good for the first few, except for that I was overdressed for the temps, but underdressed for the the wind chill. So after about 3 miles I was alternating between too hot or two cold, depending on how much the wind was blowing. Not quite what I had planned, but I guess 6 miles is better than 0 miles.
And now Tuesday they are predicting a blizzard and up to two feet of snow.

I sent you a PM. I am afraid I may have changed your challenge one from 10 points to 0
Did you have 10 entered?

It looks like it has been taken care of. We just need your Challenge #2, @LeoLivingByDesign's #1, all of @mswanger09, and Challenge 1 & 2 from @Vowder, and OPERATION 100 % will be a success!

@smile_laughter it is a Baptiste hot yoga - power vinyasa flow. I'm no expert but I understand that it is not quite as hot and humid as Bikram, and more flowing maybe? Being all sweaty never appealed to me before either but now I'm more used to it from running and it didn't bother me. Felt good in fact. I'm a little sore from it and all the running this weekend - my abs can feel it! That's kind of exciting to know that it could be really adding to my strength. I'm ready to go back for another class or two this week as I'm off work.
@ka97 I wimped out and did all indoor running this weekend, couldn't take the windchill. I ran an indoor track for my long run today, and it was actually pretty enjoyable (I had friends to talk to which made it not so monotonous for circling around a million times). We are supposed to get snow on Tuesday too - maybe up to a foot (or maybe hardly any, seems to be a big margin of prediction). Anyway, good for you for getting out there and getting in those tough 6.5 miles.
@AlethaMary that sounds great - I love roasted veggies and assorted meats as an easy and delicious meal too. Great idea to just vary the sauce. Sounds very tasty. The apple spice cookies sound good too. I only wish I were not a big fan of baked goods.
I'm so nervous about being behind in points and the missing challenge points. Glad to see people keep checking in and filling them in - but it's a nail biter! Keep going!

Go Team!
Today was my first day doing Morning Detox but it has kept me full throughout the day. The only thing I would change is cut down the cinnamon 1tsp is too much. So my friend she does 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. I have also started drinking ACV diluted in the water 30 min before meal but that I only did once. Don't want to do much of acidity!!2 -
Today I only got in some yoga and I don't think I gave my all for that. The darn time change messed me up and has made me tired all day. Tomorrow is a new day so hopefully I will be back on track. Have a great night everyone2
