    I'm with you Angel... I hate jumping jacks! (I'm thinking a man came up with these challenges ....)

    It had to be a man! They don't have to worry about bouncing and flopping in the chest area as much! Lol.

    HELLO!

    There was a plea for some more members of this team, so here I am!

    Just tell me what to do and I am on it!

    Welcome Amy to the Team! Great to have you! I will let Joyous tell you what you need to do as I'm not sure of the rules of someone starting in the middle. If you go back a few pages, you will see this weeks daily challenges if you want to see what we have been doing. We are on the one that says "Week 2".

    Glad to have you!

    What in the world is a burpee? Do I really wanna know?? LOL

    I commit to 500 crunches.

    I'm at 8 miles today for this week!

    I'm under by over 400 cals today!! Woo hoo! If that scale doesn't move tomorrow, I'm going to cry!

    Tomorrow is going to be tough for calories, going to a huge party with tons of food. Going to workout like crazy before I go and pray there are at least a few healthy choices.

    3 checks for me today!!

    50 globe things that sucked tremendously - check
    100 JJs - yep still causing black eyes
    100 stairs - this was kind of easy since I have to go up and down stairs to let my dogs out all, day long... cause they don't know whether they want to be in or out...

    Ohh BTW - hit 10 miles!!!! Whoop whoop to me!

    Water - yep
    Calories - yep
    Whatever else there is - yep

    Burpees are actually quite easy compared to the stuff hes been having us do recently. Check your youtube for directions. :o)

    Wow! I'm so proud of everyone! You guys are rocking it this week! Stephanie girl....you just plain crack me up! Thanks for the laughs. I don't have time to watch the videos today, but I remember everyone comparing burpees to the up-downs we did to them so I'm not looking forward!

    I got everything in yesterday, plus got another 1 1/2 miles in! Stairs were easy for me to as we have a two-story house! Lol.

    OMG! I hate...I mean LOATHE sit-ups! But, I'm a team player and will commit to my 200 and try for more.

    Bad news - We are headed out on the bike, so I will tell you what happened tomorrow and probably have to catch up my exercises tomorrow for today and log...but I'll get them.

    Good news - We are headed for the mountains and there is a wonderful crafty village at the top so we will probably be walking a few miles! Going to wear my pedometer and hopefully be able to log some more miles for the team!

    Better news - I lost another almost pound this week! .8 lbs. (My scale does .2 increments). What I am really psyced about is I measured last week for the first time. I was 42-38-42-25 (thigh). This week....drum roll please.....40-37-41-23! I may hate the crap out of not being able to feel my legs during these challenges, but they are working on my thighs!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!

    Okay is it too late to post your recipe? I've had a horrible time finding a lite recipe...so I finally used one of my FAVORITE recipes and made it lite!

    LAYERED SUMMERTIME SALAD

    2 cups uncooked whole wheat spiral pasta
    1 cup lite mayonnaise (or greek yogurt)
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/2 cup sliced green onions
    4 turkey bacon trips, cooked and crumbled, divided
    4 cups torn romaine
    1 cup fresh snow peas, trimmed and halved
    1 cup fresh cauliflowerets
    1 cup fresh broccoli florets
    1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
    1/2 cup shredded lite swiss cheese
    Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayo, lemon juice, sugar and garlic powder; set aside. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; toss with onions and half of the bacon.
    In a large salad bowl, layer half of the romaine, pasta mixture, peas, cauliflower, broccoli, red pepper, mayo mixture and cheese. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with remaining bacon. Cover and refrigerate until serving. 16 servings.
    I don't know the nutritional value of it.....but I do know it is GOOD!!!

    I took Saturday as my day of rest....because my knee is REALLY bothering me. So today (Sunday) I'm gonna try to do the day 6 challenge. BUT up to this point. I have done 10 miles, met 5 days challenges and stayed under in calories & drank all my water.

    I completed all of this weeks challenges and I walked an additional 5.6 miles (unless the two challenge miles count, then i did 7.6 ... no one ever got back to me on that!)
    I've also lost 2lbs since last week.
