    Sorry, didn't check in last night. Ended up having to go sit in a hospital CCU waiting room all evening for a sick uncle. I am good on everything except I didn't get the swimmer's presses in. I'll work on them tonight hopefully. I did end up walking 4 1/2 miles yesterday.

    got exercise challenge done for the day and have walked 7 miles so far this week. I'm thinking I won't have any trouble getting my 10 miles in to go toward the challenge

    For Wednesday:
    -Check on Water
    -Check on Mountain Climbers & Crunches
    -Check on an extra 1.2 miles (total 3.9)
    -Not check on calories. I had two beers at dinner and they were more calories than I thought so I went over by 68. :frown:

    The amount of ppl in groups keeps changing...

    Its just not very organized and be me being a perfectionist I just cant do it anymore...
    n plus i work all day, im a single parent... and college starts on monday. Idk who im going to find the time then when I can hardly find it now....

    Its driving me insane!!!

    AUGUST CHALLENGE NEWS UPDATE! The 100 mile team challenge can be done anyhow you like run, jog, walk, bike, swim. Doesn't matter. IT DOES Need to be extra. So if you typically bike 10 miles a day anything above that would count. Remember it's all about extra and pushing more! Keep up the great work.


    Well then we got this in the bag! I Love Love Love my spin bike I certainly can do extra for someone else!

    Thanks or checking Captain!

    "n plus i work all day, im a single parent... and college starts on monday. Idk who im going to find the time then when I can hardly find it now.... "

    I feel your pain sweetie. I used to be a single parent, college student, and full time job. Good news is I know you can do it!!! I'm still doing but I'm married now. Stepping down as captain is honorable in my book because I've always had a problem having too much on my plate and not backing off. I'm working on that. My life is getting ready to have an overflowing plate soon with both work, grad school, and kids and DH, but I am going to remain committed to you all and myself. I can't let myself down this time.

    I've already gotten 6 of the 10 in for our challenge!! WOO HOO!

    I'm sorry I didn't check in yesterday. I pulled a thigh muscle yesterday and babied it all night. Thank goodness, it feels better today I was so scared I wouldn't be able to do my workout.

    3 checks for yesterday. Mountain climbers were interesting.

    Done with my 21's and jumping jacks. Did a 13 mile ride today, I average 7-8.

    Keep up the good work Ladies!!

    I hope the recipe did not have to be an original. I used this last night from the extreme makeover show and loved it.

    12 corn tortillas (I substituted whole grain tortillas)
    1 lb. ground turkey breast or ground chicken
    4 oz. light cream cheese
    4 green onions, sliced thin
    2 cups grated low fat Monterey Jack cheese, or lite Jack-Cheddar mix
    1, 15 oz. can green enchilada sauce
    1 small can pitted black olives
    2 Tbsp. diced Ortega chilies (optional)
    Nonstick cooking spray
    Fat free sour cream
    Lettuce, shredded

    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9 x 13" baking dish with nonstick spray.
    2. In small bowl mix ground turkey, light cream cheese, green onions and chilies.
    3. Spread 2 Tbsp. turkey mixture and 1 Tbsp. cheese on each tortilla. Roll up and place in baking dish.
    4. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese and olives, bake for 30 minutes.
    5. Serve with shredded lettuce and fat free or lite sour cream.

    I'm fine with this decision!

    Capt. Netty, I thought you were doing a wonderful job, but I hear you having too much on your plate, this should be fun, not stressful. We'd like you to continue the challenges with us though :)

    Personally, I think it's cool that we're all kicking BUTT on these physical challenges, and drinking our water. And if nothing else, we're all being mindfull of what we're eating, even if we are a little over! Personally, if we can continue on the challenge the way we have been, I'd say we're all WINNERS (I mean LOSERS!!!!)

    Duties of the capt.

    To check your email every day... both MFP and personal because you will recieve numerous messages from both other team members as well as other captains.

    U have to keep up on the forum and ur inbox for updates on other members.

    You have to know how to use microsoft excel, that is how tabs are being kept.

    I'm good with either of them, maybe one can captain and one can co-captain. I'm flexible (even more so now after my 3 sets of 21)
