    Monday was a motivation Monday for me. I don't know why but I woke up determined to beat my best distance number. Well I didn't just beat it but I blew it out of the water. I'm sure it was a slow 12.8 miles but I did it. And yes I stretched before, during and after. :-)

    Here is my Monday Oct 28

    207 mins for 1,496 calories ( mins completed 233, calories burned 1636)
    Stairs 400 (20 pts / 40 so far)
    Core - O
    Kind post - not done yet
    Recipe try - not done yet
    Water - 88oz (5pts/ 10 so far)
    salt - 1015 (5 pts/ 10 so far)
    Bad habit - done (2/7 days done)

    Jambo :)

    Tuesday, I've eaten too much today. Discovered cashew nut and coconut dairy milk. Oh dear!

    I have done a fair bit of walking though. Say 90 mins and about 400 cals. It's quite difficult to keep track of time at the moment. Oh, I saw some wildebeest and some zebras today whilst having lunch :)

    HI GUYS!

    Are we supposed to count flights of stairs? Or individual stairs?

    EDIT: I checked the chart, I understand now. I have to change yesterday's stair total, I did not do 13 sets of 25. But I'll have to count the stairs at school to see how many I did. Hahaha

    I love this picture. The little guy peeking in at the side is too cute!

    I have a tip for my team. Have any of you tried Ezekiel bread? It is sprouted grain bread, you find it in the freezer section at the grocery store, and it must be kept frozen as it spoils quickly. I bought some yesterday to try. It has no flour in it, only sprouted grains. (It is not gluten free, although they may make a GF one, not sure). It has 80 calories per slice, 15 grams carbs, 4 grams protein, 0 sugar, and 3 grams fiber. I just checked and they do make a gluten free version. It is very good, and a much better choice nutrition wise than regular bread. It has a "hearty" flavor, so if you are a white bread person you may not like it, but the texture is good and I find it delicious. :happy:

    By comparison I looked at some other whole wheat breads, 4-6 grams sugar, and around 25 grams of carbs.

    More walking for me today but not much else. 60 mins walking for about 300 cals I'm guessing - was quite hilly as we were in the mountains.
    I also made coffee today.... Starting with picking the beans, hulling them, roasting then grinding. The coffee was great; you don't get fresher than that!!
  • hypallage

    Managed about 250 reps as well

    @tabby - thanks for the tip on the bread - I KNOW I've tried it but I can't remember if I liked it or not - I was always a white bread girl so moving onto whole grain was a big step for me :noway: I have a lot of fiber needs so I do the Fiber One Whole Grain - but I'll have to try that bread again...cuz LOWER Carbs I'm always looking for these days - seems....that whole over 40 thing is too true....metabolism Slllllooooooowwwwwwssssss Way Down so I need to focus on all that stuff I used to be able to eat without thinking!! :sad:

    @Ashley....your workout - obstacle training?? What kinds of stuff are you doing?! Seems fun and creative!! Are you training for something fun? Mud Run??

    I have posted what I believe to be everything to here....PLEASE Check the chart!

    Been a bit of a crazy week...and NOT a great one for me so I'm playing a little catch up. I had a bad day yesterday and did the emotional eating/drinking thing rather than exercise and Sunday we were in the car most of the day so no workout there...so I'm going to have to do the Rare Friday Workout to get in my 4 workouts this week!! :grumble: But I'm Up for the Task!!

    You Guys Are Toooooo!!! Push Hard!!!! You're Almost There!!! Finish STRONG!!!!!!

    Happy Halloween!! NO CANDY NO CANDY NO CANDY!!!!!! (ok just PLAN Ahead if you want a TINY bit!!!) If you are a lover of candy....Don't deprive yourself....Or you'll find yourself going overboard - so just give yourself a piece...and Remember there will be another piece there tomorrow for you if you plan for it!

    We ARE Still Missing a Lot of #'s....so hoping most of the rest of the team checks in here at the end of the week!! Dolphins are a ways under on minutes....VERY Close on Calories...should be NO problem hitting that....AND CALLING All Rep Lovers!!!!! (That means EVERY Dolphin!!!!!) We Need To AMP Up those Reps Again This Week.....Way Further behind than We ARE Capable of!!! Welllll I'll be working this tummy good again tomorrow for those reps!! Join Me in Killing Thursdays Reps!!!

    Gooooo Dolphins....Gooooo Dolphins......Gooooo Dolphins!!! WE BE LAUGHING In The Face of the Competition!!!!

    Sheri, those Dolphins do look like the are laughing!!! SOOOOO cute!!!

    I am over on my core reps but I can do more today/tomorrow if need. But a tip for ya. Get to the top of your stairs, lie down & do 20 to 25 core reps and you got them BOTH taken care of! It makes it easy for both really!

    I too had a "sugar" attack yesterday! I was ok on cals with it but I am TRYING soooo hard to get to NO sugar. I WILL plan for ONE popcorn ball tonite with my grandson though. Going low sugar & watching my carbs is what has helped me lose the 12.5 pounds so far in this challenge.Even though I have started menopause (we women are wierd creatures) I still experience pms, so this week was irritability, puffyness, backaches, tiredness and the ugly CRAVINGS! Like I said we women are wierd creatures!!!!

    It's THURSDAY!!!! So once AGAIN make it be "THOROUGH THURSDAY" ! Get THOROUGH with EVERY thing Sheri has asked of us! It take more than one to make a TEAM so let's play as one!!! We can do this DOLPHINS!!!!

    SHERI

    Question. Monday I did a total an hr stretching. That was the before, during, and after workout as well as my flex goal stretching and also stretch before bed. I am not sure how you want to list that on the chart. I did put in the minimum of 5 minutes. If it doesn't make a difference then ok but if it does.........

    Well amazing Dolphins how is your Thursday? Make sure you double check how you are doing and what all you need to get in yet before deadline on Friday.

    Watch that candy....... I heard the other groups are taking collections so as to share among themselves. That is so kind of them to take the unwanted candy.

    Hope you are all having a wonderful Thursday and making it a great one. Keep up your hard work.
