TEAM RED HOT ARSENAL - Week 2 (Closed Group)

lukybug

Hello TEAM!!!

There are NO MORE PASSES!! If even ONE of us does not complete a challenge - the team does not get the bonus points!

ALL reporting will take place in here. Please try and post daily recaps for me here. At least for the daily challenges. It helps tremendously, since the posts do not always include the challenge.

Here are the challenges! WE CAN DO THIS!!

This is the week two team challenge. These challenges should be done in addition to your normal workout routine. This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact your team captain for ideas.

Week Two Daily Exercise Challenge - Remember, if one person misses a day, NO bonus points for the TEAM.

Daily Exercise = 1 point per member per day. If everyone does it you will be awarded a 5 point bonus for the team!

So since there's 20 of us ( I think?)
We should all donate 5 miles for the week?

I could probably donate 3 miles every morning for 5 days, which will put me at donating 15 miles not from my regular workouts.

It is quite possible we are down to 17. I think we've lost 3 people so far :noway: which kinda stinks. But, since we are scoring by percentages now, it's okay. If we share evenly, it's around 5.5 miles per person. Which is less than a mile extra a day if you're doing it 6 days a week. We can figure it out in the new forum, since it's for week 2. I'm going to post this there as well.

1-2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Made these the other night for partner's family roast. Went down a hit!


Mix very heaped 2 tbsp of nutella with 2 very heaped tbsp of butter in a saucepan. Watch or it will burn. Mix in also 1 tbsp of cinnamon. Mix in mixed berries to sauce mixture. Turn on oven to 180C.

While this is mixing, get some filo pastry (or puff pastry if you want it to look nicer and not as messy). Apparently you have to defrost this overnight first. Oops. So, get about 4 sheets. (mine was a box of 20). Rip in 1/2. Rip in 1/2 again. Put on sprayed oven tray one at a time (so you don't overload).

Put seived berry mix on a corner of the pastry and fold over and over. Must seive or it will leak through.

Do this till run out of filo. I made about 12, but I used some pastry to re-wrap others. Looks messy as, but the family in-law didn't care. Use left over sauce as serving sauce. Serve with ice cream!

Per pastry works out to be about:

140 cals
25 on carbs
4 on fat
0 on protein
10 on potassium
5 on sugar

per pastry plus about a tbsp of sauce to cover with

I'm think for the recaps, just go ahead and let me know if you did the daily challenge, and how many extra miles you did for the day for the 100 miles for the team. I do care about the calories and water intake as some people have their diaries set as private. So unless I'm told about the water intake, I do not know how many ounces they drank for the day.
