    Water = check
    Under calories = no check :(
    Exercice challenge = no check :(

    Under calories - 12 glasses of water and counting - mountain climbers done - crunches done.

    Added another 4.1 miles to my total today. 2 miles of walking at work, and 2.1 miles of running just now. That puts me at exactly 12 miles. Another 2 miles and you can start counting everything above 14 towards the group 100 mile goal. :)

    Also, scheduled a weekend bike ride with a friend on Sunday morning. If you can let me know where we are at for the 100 miles on Saturday evening? If we are short, I will try and make up as much as I can on my bike on Sunday. :)


    YES SarahRuth - I will let everyone know on Saturday where we stand in the 100 mile challenge... so we can catch up if we need to...

    Sorry I wasn't online last night everyone!! However, I did log (today for yesterday) and I did come in under my calorie goal yesterday AND water, AND my 5 mile walk..... I'll do the exercise challenges tonight..... WHEW!!! alot of work!!! (smile)

    I see you are all still kicking some August booty - GO TEAM!!!! YAAAAAYYYYYY!!

    Under calories, 14 glasses of water.
    21's done - Will feel those tomorrow
    Jumping Jacks done

    Two one-mile walks at work today, which puts me at exactly 14 miles of walking/running. That's my normal weekly average, so anything after that counts towards the team 100 mile goal.

    Also, I biked an extra 10.5 miles today. Rode to work and home (which doesn't count because it's normal for me), and then rode an additional 10.5 miles with a friend. If we're short on miles, you can use those. Still going out on the bike on Sunday, and we just made plans to go out on Saturday morning as well.

    Drank all my water, did 5 sets of 21's and climbed 150 stairs. My sister, who is recovering from surgery and can't lift more than 5 lbs, lives on the second floor (15 stairs). She needed me to take her shopping and then bring the groceries into her house so 10 times I went up and down the stairs. I was also under my calorie goal for the day.

    for yesterday:
    water - ck
    under calories - ck
    exercise - ck
    (walked 2 miles --- not sure if that will go towards 'our' miles or not)
    mountain climbers balance - ck
    cruches (from wed)- ck
    3 sets of 21 (from thurs)- ck
    did 25 jumping jacks (i must not be doing these right - my ankles kill me at 15, feel like i'm gonna twist one of them by the time i get to 25 - when i go out i am on the tops of my feet - i assume this isnt correct??)
    so i have left: 75 jumping jacks for thurs and todays (fri) stuff.

    Hey friends!

    I'm a little achy today in the back of my neck down through my shoulders, throughout my back, and in my hip joints. Anyone else with me?

    Since the weather got nice I had not done my indoor Calisthenics (core work) for quite awhile. I was very weak in my core and sometimes I couldn't even support my body with some of Jillians floor work. So I went outside and started walking and running.

    Well baby, we are getting stronger!! No pain, no gain, right?! Very very thankful for this challenge as it has made me get back into strength training again. I need a good foundation (as in a strong core) as I am such a weakling!! All those years couching it was giving me a faulty and unreliable foundation.

    Today I will listen to my body and keep an eye on my aches and pains as I push through, so I don't push myself to an injury.

    Have a great and awesome TGIF day!!

    Joyful in the Journey!

    Thanks Tammy! :)

    I have a question, I created a recipe in my profile under Food/Recipe and they asked me if I wanted to share it with everybody and I said yes. This is the recipe I would like to share with you guys, but insted of rewritting everything here, is there a way you can find it/search it in this website? Cause I said that I want to share it with everybody or maybe it's gonna be available in the future on the site... The title of the recipe is : Couscous à la marocaine / Joël Legendre Page 292
