    I have a few questions of course .

    -Is the team mile donation above the extra mile in daily challenge? I am thinking so,
    I can only donate 5 miles to the team effort, my son is coming home from his father's Tuesday, I haven't seen him in 6 weeks and he will be my priority.
    -what is the link for the forum for recipes?
    -I can't get the link for the 21's to load, can someone describe it?
    - I am requesting a replacement for the globe jump, I don't think my knee can handle it.
    Other then that I am enjoying my day of rest. New sports bra came in and I should be ready for jumping jacks without black eyes.
    Everyone have a good Sunday

    So since there's 20 of us ( I think?)
    We should all donate 5 miles for the week?

    I could probably donate 3 miles every morning for 5 days, which will put me at donating 15 miles not from my regular workouts.

    Feeling pissed off. Scale says put on 2kgs today >:(

    Would going for a bike ride count towards the miles?! I'm off most of this week, so I'll aim for 10 miles extra

    Weekly recap.

    Water done every day
    calories under every day
    Exercise completed every day. I did jacks on the rest day and took off Monday.

    For next week, I can donate about 3 miles of walking per day. I run 4 times a week and I can run an extra mile each time.
    My total would be 22-25 miles.

    I've started a new forum for week 2. It can be found here:

    It is quite possible we are down to 17. I think we've lost 3 people so far :noway: which kinda stinks. But, since we are scoring by percentages now, it's okay. If we share evenly, it's around 5.5 miles per person. Which is less than a mile extra a day if you're doing it 6 days a week. We can figure it out in the new forum, since it's for week 2. I'm going to post this there as well.
