    Happy Birthday Connie!!!

    Sounds like everyone is having a good week! I have well over my 60 mins of cardio but haven't done the curtsy lunges yet. It seems as though the mini challenge this week isn't much of a challenge for this group (at least the cardio part) so I think I will make next week's challenge a bit harder :bigsmile:

    Thank you team! Had a great dinner, which put me way over calories but I will be back in good form tomorrow.

    On to week 2 =D

    Happy Friday Orange Team!!!!! Plan on finishing up the rest of my curtsy lunges...need 30 more and going for a run. Will be doing a treadmill or track run tonight. Raining here and the trail will be muddy and slippery. Hope everyone has a great start to their weekend!!!

    Happy Belated Birthday Connie! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself :)

    I started eating solid food again (grilled salmon, meatloaf, etc) and it was DELICIOUS!!! Takes me about a year and a half to eat it at the rate I go but I don't mind.

    Today is Friday, so I'm going to go put my weight in on the spreadsheet. Down 6 lbs (I gained 2 over the last couple days so that's why it's not an 8 anymore... but I'll take a 6!). If you need help inputting your weight into the spreadsheet, just send me a message.

    My goal for next week is to exercise more, maybe try out a couple dvds.
    What about everyone else?

    Second place is awesome for our first week! Way to go team!!! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

    Our mini challenge for this week is:

    Cardio- 120 minutes (60 was way too low for most of the team so I figured we could handle doubling it this week!)
    Strength- 100 bow and arrows (50 each arm)
    Nutrition- Drink an extra 8 oz of water everyday

    Thanks for the birthday wishes =)

    Yay team orange!

    I finally finished the curtsy lunges last night. This weeks mini challenge sounds great. 120 minutes sounds like a lot. Going to have to make sure I get to the gym at least a couple of times and now that the weather is nice, I can take a walk/jog around the block.

    I don't like water either! You can try infusing your water with your favorite fruit! I personally use Crystal Light packets. I know they aren't the best for you, but using them helps keep me hydrated.

    Happy Tuesday Orange Team!!!! Hope everyone has a great day!

    I saw this, and thought it was interesting and should help you drink your water.



    Having trouble drinking all your water for the day? Lets have fun and drink water at the same time!!!



    This is for your news-feed....

    Drink once if:
    - Someone has a logging streak over 30 days.
    - Someone completed their daily log and was under their calories.

    Drink twice if:
    - someone posts they burned more 500 calories

    Drink thrice if:
    - someone complains about going over, cheating.

    ^^^ Thats a cool idea!

    Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!! I got super sick last night and haven't been able to keep anything down :sad: If anything I guess I'll be able to post a loss this week. Hahaha.

    How's everyone doing on the mini challenge this week? Before I got sick last night I got about 80 mins of cardio in! The water might be a problem for me today, but I'm trying. Let's finish out the rest of the week strong!

    Finished the bow and arrow exercises. Now my arms hurt. =)
    I have not been doing well with cardio. The weather has not been my friend this week. Tons of rain Tuesday and then back to super cold with some snow on the ground Wednesday. Ridiculous. Hopefully my weigh in is good this week. Want to be negative because last week I wasn't. Tomorrow, I'm potentially going to move some garbage out of my grandmas old house so Idk what kind of time I will have. Maybe I'll do a lot of walking around the house.

    And a gain again. Another half a pound up. I clearly need to change something. Need to be stricter with the calories. And this weekend probably is going to be too many calories because of Easter and I'm going up to Boston to watch my dad run the marathon. This may be trouble. But I will prevail soon.

    Hello Orange Team,

    I apologize for being missing this entire week.

    I developed a dry socket and was in severe pain. Then, I found out I have an infection. Going to have to undergo surgery again to get things resolved. I've never had to pop so many pills in my life! Barely had the strength to sit up let alone think straight :(

    It will probably be another week or two before I'm fully healed.

    I hope all is well with everyone else.
