Week Two Weekly Team Challenge

Each team must coordinate a 100 mile walk, run, jog outside of their normal running jogging. You will to
volunteer how much you can walk. If the team does accomplish the 100 mile challenge they will be
rewarded with 5 bonus point. In addition to the 100 mile walk each team member must submit their
favorite recipe to the group forum, along with the nutritional value. If someone submits your favorite
you must find another recipe to submit.

Who would like to coordinate the 100 mile challenge? If the entire team does 5 extra miles in this week, we will have no problem BEATING THE CRAP out of this challenge!

Go Globo Gym!!!

***Remember***

Chat is open to the team. I strongly encourage everyone to join so we can all get to know each other better.

MissWait

I'll try and get a few extra in this week. Now if it would just stop raining!!!

mom2enlp

Um...oh hell! What muscles I have are aching already!

I don't have time to coordinate the walk this week because I'm prepping for finals, but I can commit to at least 5 extra miles this week. I'll need it to destress anyway!

Thanks for the vid links, btw. It helps us newbies figure out what the hell everyone is talking about!

Have a great week!

Thanks all! Let's show WMR what Team Globo Gym is all about! I'm sure that Week 3 will be even more intense, but I KNOW we wont have any issues beating the crap out of Week 2!

Mandy, please let me know what you need to coordinate the Team challenge of 100 Miles. I will put a spreadsheet together and send it over your way to help keep track of it all.

Thanks!

dice onions and grate all other vegetables. Mix all of the ingredients together then put into a lined baking dish. Bake in moderate oven 180 celcius (360F) until cooked. About 20 mins I think. Until golden brown. cut into 3 and eat. Good hot or cold

You can add whatever vegies you like. i use these as I always have them onhand. Also I have it with the kids so use the full fat cheese but you can make it with low fat for lower calorie

Here's my recipe. I used generic stuff from the database to get an idea of the calories etc but it may vary depending on the ingredients you use etc.


Pork Tenderloin with Saurkraut and Pear

---

Makes approx 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:
-pre-seasoned pork tenderloin (24oz will yeild 6-4oz servings)
-1 package kosher saurkraut (drained and rinsed very well)
-4 medium green pears (cored and sliced)
-1-2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
-water

NON FOOD ITEMS:
-shallow baking dish
-foil


INSTRUCTIONS:
-Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (sorry I don't know what that is in Celsius).
-In shallow baking dish place pork in center and surround with saurkraut.
-Layer pear slices on top of pork and kraut.
-If desired, add a small amount of water to dish (enough to just cover the bottom of dish).
-Sprinkle ground cinnamon over top of pear slices.
-Cover dish with foil and bake in oven for 45-60 min or until pork is cooked/tender.
-Serve and enjoy!

---

NOTES: Most times people use apples for this dish. I went with pears for the less tart taste. I listed kosher saurkraut because it usually has less sodium. Also, be sure to drain and rinse the kraut well. This will help take away some of the strong bite so it doesn't completely overpower the dish.

Swiss Oatmeal

I had this cold oatmeal at a local restaurant, and I tweaked it so I could make it at home. It’s delicious!

Cook ¼ cup of steel-cut oats according to package directions, spread it out on a plate (to avoid clumping) and chill it until cold. Once it’s chilled, toss it with a 4-oz. container of nonfat vanilla yogurt (I use Dannon Activia), half of a large Granny Smith apple (chopped without skinning it), and about 1/6 cup of dried cranberries. Then, top it with about 1/8 cup of sliced raw almonds, and about a ½ cup of fresh berries (I usually use blueberries and raspberries).

It may sound gross, but I really love it. I can never finish the whole serving, and I’m full for hours after having it!
