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!

WELCOME BACK FROM YOUR DAY OF REST WE’RE STARTING WEEK #2 YOU ARE NO LONGER ROCKSTARS YOU’VE MOVED ON TO BEAST MODE!

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.

*Feel free to do these exercises in sets if you are unable to do them all at one time. Please do your best as you are much stronger than you believe.

    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.

    Do the recipes go here? Or is there a link for all teams?

    This one is lame, I know

    Recipe from someone that doesn't cook

    8 oz trop50 calcium and vitamin D orange juice
    4 oz Oceanspray light cranberry raspberry juice
    One tray of ice cubes 
    Splenda to taste

    Put everything in ice crushing blender and mix until all ice is crushed 

    Makes about 32 oz depending on size of your size of ice cube tray

    For a serving size of 32 ozs
    Calories 75
    Sodium 28 mg
    Fat 0
    Potassium 500 mg

    I know this is a lot liking telling someone how to make tea, but I take a insulated waterbottle full of this with me to summer picnics so I stay out of the sweets.  Ok if this one doesn't count I can give you a recipe that involves some salt potatoes some good seasons dressing mix a little butter and a microwave bag. Or I can look one up on line.
