    I just realized that I missed a bunch of our posts. Jackie, thank you for the list of f/v servings. That is helpful. I do disagree with what they say about potatoes too. That has got to be the world's most maligned veggie.

    Sorry we came in at the bottom of the challenge last week. Let's don't get discouraged and keep plugging along.

    Hello everyone!

    Sorry for being MIA, but my in-laws bathroom backed up and flooded their downstairs. When the insurance people came out, they said there was asbestos in the floors that need to be pulled up! So, they have been booted from the house while repairs are being done, and they've been here hanging out! So I haven't been able to get much computer time in...

    Wednesday- exercises done. I was only able to complete 2.5 circuits
    F/V - avocado (.5), watermelon (2), tomatoes (1), parsley drink (1.5), cauliflower mix (1), garden salad (1.5) = 7.5

    Thursday - no exercises :cry: I will try to do it tomorrow
    F/V - avocado (.5), mashed potatoes (1), cauliflower mix (1), tomato/zucchini salad(1.5), parsley drink (1.5) = 5.5

    Have a great Friday! :flowerforyou:

    Didn't manage the exercises, but will try and add them to todays.
    F/V: mango juice 1, cherry tomatoes 1, lettuce 1, sweet potato 1, peppers 1, courgette 1 = 6

    I'll check in with today's exercises & f/v later.

    I won't be around to check in this weekend though - off to Edinburgh for the fringe festival & to see family. (Very excited! I love Edinburgh) Means I wont have computer access and I can't get the forum on my app on my phone.

    Friday :
    Just finished my workout.
    F/V: 1 serving each pepper/onion blend, lettuce, mandarin orange sections; 2 servings blueberries = 5

    I am really nervous about weighing in the morning (I always weigh on Saturdays - have for years) . I am still on the prednisone so I don't know if I will lose any or not, even though I have had a good week with food and exercise. We'll see.....

    :flowerforyou: GETTING TO KNOW YOU :flowerforyou:

    Hello everyone!

    If you have been on my teams before, you know what this is! If you haven't, I like to throw out some random questions for everyone to answer, so we can all get to know each other better. Some are serious questions, but most of the time they are just for fun!

    Here we go!!

    - What is your favorite salty snack?

    - What song do you love to dance to?

    - What was your most embarrassing hair style?

    - What is the furthest west you have traveled?

    - What is the funniest thing you have heard a child say?

    - What vegetable do you hate?

    - if you could live in any other country for 2 years where would you go?

    And some MFP related questions:

    - What do you like the MOST about the challenge so far? The LEAST?
    - What's your favorite exercise? Least favorite?
    - How are you doing on your goals so far?
    - What is/are your mini goal(s) for this week?

    Have a wonderful Sunday!!:flowerforyou:

    GETTING TO KNOW YOU

    - What is your favorite salty snack? Lately, I love the Stax original flavor chips

    - What song do you love to dance to? I don't really hear words, so anything with a good beat :laugh:

    - What was your most embarrassing hair style? A crazy, frizzy perm in the 80s

    - What is the furthest west you have traveled? Hawaii

    - What is the funniest thing you have heard a child say? that would be my oldest twin, Mariis, talking about their birth...'so, Mom, when Sissy came out of your belly, an I fell out of your butt, or whatever...' :laugh:

    - What vegetable do you hate? I don't think I hate anything, but if I remember one, I'll let you know

    - if you could live in any other country for 2 years where would you go? I would love to live in Europe! I have family there, and I would love to get to know them better!

    And some MFP related questions:

    - What do you like the MOST about the challenge so far? The LEAST? The water challenge is always hard, and I really liked the F/V challenge. Both made me feel better though!
    - What's your favorite exercise? Least favorite? I like most arm exercises, but HATE Burpees!
    - How are you doing on your goals so far? I am doing okay, I have a loss and I'm feeling better, so I'm happy! :wink:
    - What is/are your mini goal(s) for this week? I would like to continue drinking lots of water, not 100 oz, but more than usual. And another 1/2 lb would be nice!

    Have a wonderful Sunday!!
