    I loved this challenge concept and the one day I did the circuit was awesome. But I managed to come down with the head cold from hell and working out was not possible after Monday. Now it's Friday and my parents fly in to help us celebrate our daughter's first birthday, so I don't forsee a lot of circuit workouts and or new foods in my immediate future. BUT the good news is that regardless I am down .5 lbs and I can still do next week's challenge. So, bring it on!

    Friday and Saturday I worked the Macy's one day sale so I was entirely too exhausted to do any workout at all!! I did do ALOT of walking around the store and carrying a TON of clothes throughout those 2 days so I think I may have gotten my workouts in!! lol

    Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend....mine starts and ends tomorrow!! LOL

    Passover is tom night and its gna be a challenge for me because of portion control...the foods that we eat are actually great for dieting...no preservatives....very little sugar...mainly fruit, veggies, some fish, poultry, meat, and a little bit of dairy...

    This hasn't been my challenge...
    Elephant Mango... Korean Melon..... Dragon fruit
    OH! THAT's the mango... I was gonna pick one up the other day, but they were a little too ripe. My friend squishes them up, IN the peel, cuts a whole at the top, and "drinks" them. Then she peels it and eats the somewhat stringy meat inside.

    I think the elephant mango is pretty much a yellow mango but still, I hadn't had one. ;)

    I completely bombed on the exercise but thought it was worth mentioning that I did try turnips. Probably not my favorite vegetable. Has the texture of a potato and taste a bit like radish. I would consider cooking them with corned beef and cabbage. I bet they'd absorb some of the flavor from the beef.

    Look forward to tomorrow's challenge!
