I'm going to try to do 5 miles. The temperatures are still going to be over 100 so maybe I can get up early next Saturday and Sunday and do some walking before it gets too hot.

I can for sure do 8 extra miles next week, I have a lot going on so I can't promise more. However it's supposed to be a beautiful week here and I may be able to get more in.

Whoop whoooop! Just weighed in and I'm over the moon to be posting a 1.5kg (3.3lbs!) loss!! Might just be an odd scale blip ... but I'm taking it!! Weight now 75.5kg or 166.4lb.

I'm not sure when we're supposed to weigh in, but I'm going to do Sunday morning, as whilst I'm working fulltime I'll forget during the week. (too busy getting children ready!)

Looking forward to next week!!

I can do 8 miles next wee. I only have Mon-thursday to get them done though. Road trip!

I am ULTRA sore today. It sucks being an all or nothing girl because at times I push myself too hard to prove that I can do it. I over did it yesterday....and I am feeling it today. And I went out dancing last night with the girls and sang some karaoke. I am just plain hurting and my thighs keep cramping up....OUCH!! But I am proud to have burned 9,254 calories in just 6 days. Today I am taking an exercise break and then will hit hard again tomorrow.

Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow and the next set of exercise challenges. As sore as I am today, I know I will be hurting this time next week! But as they say "no pain, no gain" though I prefer "no pain no loss" because I sure don't want to be gaining anything. Have a great day Body Rock Team!!

What I've done is asked everyone to do 5 miles for the 100 mile walk and if you do more that's awesome because there might be some who fall short. This way we at least know we are on the right track to reaching our goal. Along with emailing me with your nightly totals please include how many extra miles you were able to do so I can make sure we don't fall short.. Thanks so much & Keep up the good work!

I just read on here where Bikermom was leaving

So.. We will have a add those 5 extra miles on somewhere so please everyone try for as many miles as you can get this week & We can still hit out goal!!!

I will be going for the 5 miles this week...hoping to pull in a little more, just in case we need it!

Here's my recipe:

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SOUP

2 chicken breasts - Grill chicken, chop into small pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn, undrained

Combine this all in a pot and simmer for a while. Garnish with cheese, if you want. This can be served as is or with tortilla chips or fritos. It is good hot or cold!

Tough day here ... kids are sick ... husband is sick ... fortunately I'm OK, at the moment! Except for the fact that I need more sleep and my body seems to think food would be an ideal substitute ... not even had my dinner yet and I'm over ... need to go for a run me thinks, but probably can't do that until they're all asleep .... until then I need to stop eating!!

I think Gary has fill-ins and subs available to replace those who drop out of the challenge.....maybe we could get a fill-in since bikermum has left us?!?

I have it a bit easier today than I'm used to. Tommorrow is a public holiday in SA (womens day) so I decided to work from home today :bigsmile: , soooo....this morning I took the opportunity to fit in the trail walk at my daughters school, did two circuits for 7.55km, thats 4.68miles!! so although I said I would only be able to do an extra 5miles, looks like it will be more like 10 this week!

still have 30 day shred - level 2 and my squat kicks to do later!

Better get some work in now

TTY later!!

Gary sent me a couple of people to replace the 2 people we lost but when they saw the workouts they said no
