    @Sheri

    Do we have a minimum of how many 'up' stairs have to be done at one time for them to count? And are they part of the main challenge, Sunday to Friday, or part of the points challenge, Monday to Sunday? I am also assuming there are no partial points, each group of 100 is 5 points, not 2.5 for 50?

    The wolverine/dolphin pic was one I found, and sadly ladies it is morphing into a wolverine, not the other way around, as the evolution starts with the brain the tail being last....

    Dolphins, just a simple tool... :) lol Grrrr Arrgh - go Wolverines..

    I really expected to read absolutely NO candy this week!!!! As for the Personal, that is to be posted ONCE or everyday or just the one time? (I don't know if I can be nice EVERY day :wink: just kidding!) Also a reminder that we do NOT get to count stairs or core as minutes or calories right????

    I don't have a photo but here is a Mac & Cheese recipe with a twist!
    1/4c dry quinoa (approx. 1c cooked - cooked with water for this recipe)
    1oz grated cheddar cheese (i use sharp, ymmv on different flavors)

    calories:280
    carbs: 31
    fat: 12
    protein: 14
    fiber: 3
    sodium: 172

    you can skip the butter, milk, and flour when you use quinoa instead of pasta because it's nice and fluffy on its own so there's no need to make a sauce!

    feel free to season to taste on either recipe, being mindful of the sodium in salt/salt blends. it's also really good baked!!!


    I tried this new recipe that xqueenbee24x posted in the recipe thread! Its's extremely good! The cheese puts a kick into the quinoa plus I baked mine.

    Btw, just a REMINDER to EVERYBODY in our Gecko group we have some burn queens, six of us, yes I said six! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: We are going to rack in HIGH burns! It's OUR week to be number one! :drinker: :drinker: Move over Dolphins, we are coming to take you down,lol!:sad: :sad: Good luck in the challenge everyone!:smile::smile:
  • looks like a good one for week 4... im ready

    My pay if forward occurred yesterday.

    My best friend is pre-diabetic so I told her she will come and start working out with me. She was like are you crazy I will die I can't do what you do. So I told her we will start off just by walking and work your way up, yesterday we walked for almost 2 hrs. I ran to her house and after I dropped her home and after our walk she felt great. I told her she is such a joy to have in my life and I don't want to lose her to something we can prevent. So after the hugs and tears we decided this will be our Sunday routine until she is ready to step in the gym.

    Next step- getting her on MFP!!!

    Pay it forward today (Monday)

    I was waiting at the bus stop coming home from ballet and the young lass waiting with me, didn't have all the necessary change for the bus, I gave her one of my bus tickets so she could get home safely. The look on her face was lovely, she was so relieved. Really pleased I always carry extra bus tickets.

    On the other hand, I want bonus points for what I didn't do to a little old lady on the inbound bus. She dropped her hankie, and smacked me with her cane to get me to pick it up. I picked it up and mentioned that it wasn't necessary to hit me with her cane. 5 minutes later, she did it again, now I thought it's Pay it forward week for the challenge, so I did NOT shove the sodding cane down her throat. I did pick up her hankie again, and no I didn't throw it, nor her under the bus.. :)

    OMG :laugh: @mailaig...BOTH of your nice acts were great....one probably felt really good....and the other probably had you cursing me so you couldn't throw it at her!!! What a charming lady she sounds like!! It would have been tempting...the story had me cracking up though!!

    @love9705...the time you took out to get your friend moving for her health AND made it special....is Amazing!! Because you made it all that, she wants to make a regular thing of it?! You should feel GREAT About that!! You may be able to get her to enjoy and work up to more so she be healthier! That's Awesome!!

    In answer to a couple questions...
    @vhuber - for the Pay It Forward part of the challenge - you only need to do something once during the week and post - I know everyone doesn't come in contact with people a lot - but Everyone can feel free to post as often as they like on that one. Reading them is usually pretty uplifting! All Of Your Kind Hearts Come out in full force this week! It's one of my favorite challenge weeks
    And YEAH - I just posted on my wall about the candy! I'm PISSED at myself for forgetting that it was Halloween candy time! But I did post a personal challenge for it today that I HOPE you will all TRY to do even if its not part of the challenge per say.

    @mailaig - I know you posted this and I put up a clarifier on my wall - but saw you posted here as well - so I want to clarify for anyone who may not have seen - 1st your question on how the stairs points work -

    CLARIFIERS......
    **ANY Bonus points I put up in the challenge week will just run the duration of the challenge - So Sunday - Friday morning (unless I specify different)
    **Stairs need to be in lots of 25 MINIMUM to count towards your stairs....you don't need to do 100 at a time but the points will be counted only for every 100 done at the end of the week - so No partial points if you complete 550 - you get just 25 points for 500
    ** AND also was a question - It is CORRECT the stairs do NOT count towards ANYTHING ELSE BUT STAIRS!!!


    And sorry I'm behind on these questions - we were driving home yesterday from our weekend and got done unloading everything late and works beeennnnnn wellll WORK Today....The rest of the week should be a little normal so I will be around better!!

    I tried mailaig's :heart: Toasted Pecans with Cinnamon and Sugar
    BUT....I used walnuts and 3/4 tsp liquid stevia.
    200 calories, 4 carbs, 2 fibre, 6 protein, 20 fat, and 15 Na per 30 grams
    Very tasty.:tongue: I MUST try this with pecans, but all I have is walnuts today.

    And THEN I tried lostgurl55's Roasted Veggies.

    I used frozen cauliflower and broccoli, as I had only fresh cauli. This was yummo!

    Ended up with 138 calories, 7 carbs, 3 fiber, 1 protein, 7 fat, 50 Na

    Here it is (was) with my butternut "Soon to be Soup" squash and some Kombucha Tea!
