BLACK TEAM CHALLENGE WEEK 9

loreeb18

Okay, I am not a morning person so I am posting the challenge tonight. I don't have any witty, sarcastic name for the challenge so it will be referred to as "Black Team Challenge Week 9" (Creative, huh?)

I don't know about you guys but I know that I can get into a rut pretty easily, always doing the same things all the time. So the challenge for this week is to try new things. If when you go to the gym, you always walk on the treadmill, try the elliptical. If you only eat green beans, try some broccoli. Try to do at least 3 new things this week (*edit) THAT HAVE TO DO WITH BEING HEALTHY.

Good luck everybody and GOOOOOOO Black Team! :bigsmile:

*Edit because of Lynnie :laugh:

Okay, but I refuse to try beets, wear a thong bikini or kiss a girl. A lady draws the line.

Okay, maybe I should have specified - Try 3 new things that HAVE TO DO WITH BEING HEALTHY. So you're off the hook for the second 2 but I'm sorry, you must try a beet. :laugh:

lynniejones

you must try a beet.

Okay. Not. I'd rather kiss a girl than eat a beet. I'd rather ..Sam flrick a boogie on me than eat a beet. They are not natural I'm telling you. They are weird. Pickled or fresh, no matter, theeyy smell funny, they look funny and I just cain't.

What's even grosser is those eggs in beet juice on a lot of salad bars. YUCK! :sick: Okay, since I'm not willing to try a beet, you're off the hook too.

Those would be deviled eggs & my family eats them like candy. :sick:

Woo hoo for the new challenge! All of my new things will probably be food related just to warn you. :bigsmile: I'll try to make a healthier something...but I'm with Lynnie...I will not eat a beet! BLECH!

Good luck weighing in, all! I'm avoiding the scale like the plague this morning for some reason. I was down to a great number yesterday morning & I'm just scared out of my head that it'll be back up again like it was LAST Wednesday! My body doesn't like Wednesdays for some reason!

Andrew - welcome back home! Glad everything went well even with the mini-clipboard carrying hitlers. :laugh:

Lynnie - You crack me up, lady!

Sam - I hope you find something new in the job department REAL soon! I was stuck in such a bad job for 3 years & I don't wish that on anyone. *hugs*

Lori - Do you have anything planned for your "3 new things"? Hhhmmmm....?

Jeannie - Hope you feel better today! *hugs*

Nicky - Have you talked to the boy toy since you nearly got sick on him this weekend? :bigsmile:

Good morning, Shuntae, Anna, Janie, Bobbi, Marla, Laura, Julie & all y'all! I gotta go do some chores before the rest of the sickies wake up. Lysol & I are BFF's.

Well if I was giving out girl kisses baby you'd be on the list, hahahahha!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

loreeb18

Lori - Do you have anything planned for your "3 new things"? Hhhmmmm....?

No, but I think I can find 3. I don't want to fail my own challenge. That's why I didn't make it one new thing every day. :laugh:

Dave got some ab workout stuff the other day and I tried it yesterday. I should've waited until today and I could've counted it as one of my 3. Dang it!

If you can figure out a way to make it health related, by all means, you may wear a thong bikini and kiss a girl!

I'm giving up processed sugar for lent. Does that count towards this challenge? HEE. That's healthier living!!!

Anna_Banana

Me to. Then I'm also trying to be less snappy towards DH and the kids. Winter makes me cranky. I got to ride horses yesterday though. It was so nice here. It wasn't my horse, but at least I got to ride a little. I had to try out a new one so one is giving my friend. She wanted to know if it was worth taking. I told her I was a bad one to ask, cause last week I let some one give us a horse with a really crooked leg. He can walk okay on it, but it's not pretty, but he is broke enough for the kids to ride around on. The rest of the horse we have are all too young and not broke enough for the kids. So this is something to get them started on until the others are ready for them.

So for this challenge I have to eat beats, wear a thong and kiss girls? Cool, my husband would like to watch two of the three.

Your husband likes to watch you eat beets? :noway:

Anna_Banana

Yeah that would be the one he wouldn't like to see. He hates beets. I like pickled beets but not regular one:sick: they smell like dirt to me.

Anna - glad you got to get out on a horse! The fresh air must have felt GOOOOOD.

LOL OR you could have just said, "Hey! Dave got this ab workout stuff the other day & I'm trying it....tooooday....yeaaahhhh...today."

OMG - I love beets - all kind of beets.. but then I like broccoli and spinach too - guess I am just really weird..

Lori - I love this challenge.. I have to think about my 3 things, but I have some machines in mind at the gym that I may work up the courage for..

Anna - I didn't know you have horses.. we should talk - I am looking to buy, but apparently too picky.. I haven't ridden since before Christmas, so am really cranky.. I hate snowy/icy winters.. need to move south..

Sara - hope everyone is feeling better at your house. I love LYsol during flu season .. just makes me feel better..

Sam - hope the job situation improves - sounds like too much stress.

everyone else - have a great day.. hope the scale was good to you this morning..

I will wear a thong before I put on panty hose! My mom still tells people how I didn't even wear them the day of my wedding. I'm also the same girl that put on giant Sketchers tennis shoes as soon as the wedding was over. I'm SUCH a girly girl. :laugh: NOT.

jimswmn

Lori...good challenge, I don't know what my three things are yet but I will get back to you.

Sara..Hope the sickies are feeling better.

Lynnie...I won't eat beets either.

Jeannie...Same guy with the mammography machine.

Janie...Walk away from the Lysol...you too Sara.

Anna...I've only ridden a horse a couple times but loved it. Just being outside in the fresh air would have been great.

Anna_Banana

Anna - I didn't know you have horses.. we should talk - I am looking to buy, but apparently too picky.. I haven't ridden since before Christmas, so am really cranky.. I hate snowy/icy winters.. need to move south..


janie

Janie, Horses are so cheap right now, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. My girlfriend got a really nice registared quarter horse last fall for $600, she's kid broke and knows everything that she will need to know for what she'll be used for. The free horse she's getting is broke well, I don't know if she knows a whole lot more than just to go, but she is only 8 and can still learn. She does have a really nice gelding for sale for $700. Her kids used him in 4-H last year, but he could buffalo them pretty easy, but with so body who makes him listen he does fine, really nice and gentle. Want to come look at him

Just popping in to say hi and hope you all have a great day!!!! :flowerforyou:

They taste like dirt, too. Blech. No beets here!!

Three new things? If Lynnie is going to wear a thong & kiss a girl, I'll have to think of some other things. :laugh:

Starving ... been working since 8 with no breakfast ... she stumbles off to the kitchen, where two high school seniors are drawing slides on the microscope. I love homeschooling ... too bad it's almost over!!

It's tempting... the prices I am seeing in CT make me think it would be cheaper to pay the shipping..

There are a lot of stories out there of people having to give up horses because of the economy.. It is just heartbreaking.. At least maybe I can help one.. wish I could help them all... I'd have a yard full of mustangs..
