I asked, and the leprechaun named mallowbar answered: we DO get extra credit again for every 10% we go over the necessary miles to get to the Emerald Isle! We achieved 50% when the mileage was high; just think what we can do on this leg!
Go Team 6 degrees of awesome!! 0 -

Hope this helps everyone out.
I read it as at least one of every color everyday ( I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like much of a challenge if its one color per day). And it's blue OR purple. I recommend fig butter from trader joe's. It taste great with peanut butter, and it's purple. Or you can do frozen mixed berries and make a smoothie.0 -
Last week was challenging for me. I did a lot of emotional eating. If I was on my own I would probably throw my hands up and say oh well. I'm super grateful for this challenge and for everyone's encouragement. I'm going to really focus on making healthy food choices this week. Good luck everyone!!0

I didn't make it clear. Without this challenge I would have given up.

All this is the section we are trying to make sense of:
I want you for five out of seven days color your plate with one or more of the following. Red, orange or yellow,blue or purple,green and white. Thry can be fruit or veg. You must eat each at least once out of the five days.
I am taking it that you pick either Red, Yellow or Orange and eat something of that color. Pick blue or Purple and eat that. Green and white are "mandatory" And you must eat each at least once in the five days, meaning that as long as you hit all colors in the week, you are good for the points.
What do you all think?
@Diana6ft, I am sorry that you had a rough week. Just remember we are here for you whenever you need somewhere to vent. We got you!

Thanks ladies! It's already starting off great! As far as the rainbow plate thing goes, I'm going to eat one of each everyday. I really need something to help me focus on good nutrition.0

I am a vegetarian so my plate is always a rainbow
Oh yay, a vegetarian! My husband is one, so I've been thinking about the Irish inspired meal we are supposed to make for Roadblock #2. Since we won't be making corn beef and cabbage, have you thought about a vegetarian alternative yet? I saw a carrot souffle recipe that didn't look too bad, but it was pretty fattening. Any ideas would be much appreciated!0 -
I'm a little disappointed to see another dance challenge, but oh well. I won't be cooking any irish meals, so I guess I'll be dancing this week. Let's hope I don't break anything!
At first I interpreted the food challenge as eat each color each day. And then I thought maybe it was each at least one of the colors at each meal, and each color at least once during the week. Now I'm just confused. I've got all the colors today, so maybe I'll just go with that. I eat lots of veggies and fruit, so it's not too difficult. I've been pretty inconsistent about logging my food lately, so the accountability challenge is a good one for me.
Today was a planned rest day, though I thought several times about doing an easy swim or run. It's really hard for me to hold back, even when I know it's the right thing. There's still that little voice in the back of my head that says, "but......."0 -
Wellllll I had a banana with my lunch does that count as yellow?! Haha 30 min ab ripper x completed, sorry it was a long day at work for me. Back in the gym tomorrow

In my opinion the banana counts! I understand about the long day and add the time change here in MO it makes for a very tiring one as well. I only got in 20 min. but I plan on hitting the gym hard tomorrow as well.0 -
I ate red peppers and cucumbers in my salad, an orange, sweet potato and green beans so I hit several colors not even trying hard! I picked up some blueberries and cauliflower today to hit those two colors some time this week. I can do this challenge, no problem!0

What about a shepherd's pie with mushrooms instead of ground meat?0 -

Lentils are a great substitute for ground meat!

Top of the morning to ya... 6 degrees of awesome: the new spreadsheet is up don't forget to put your miles in. We are off to a great start. 4882 miles to travel that is 271.2 minutes per person do your best.. the Irish dance &* food should be easy. continue to be accountable to each other by posting encouragements on each others posts ... Once I figure everything out I'll let you know where we stand in the rankings. Have a great night

Sorry if I missed something here but are we supposed to count the amount of "colors" and enter that on the nutritional spreadsheet or that would be for the number of points? I eat tomatoes, mixed berries and some type of veggie every day so that should be an easy one to achieve. Just need to know how to account for it0

@mswanger, @leti126, @dtplow: Thank you so much for the Irish vegetarian meal suggestions! We've got a problem though. My husband doesn't like mushrooms, I don't like lentils or cabbage, and we don't drink, so that rules out the Irish coffee! I found this recipe that I might try: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/asparagus-and-spring-onion-tart/ although I'll have to dance the jig quite a bit to work off the calories! I'll keep looking and will still appreciate any and all input!
@murdog3t, I think there may be an error on the spreadsheet. Ireland is only 2883 miles, although I know this awesome team will go much further!!
I started my rainbow with green spinach in my smoothie, worked on two videos, and logged my calories and exercise on my MFP profile.
I think that about sums it up! Time to hit the hay, or I'll be "foostering in the morn" !!

So I have no idea what it is called, but there is very definitely purple leafed "lettuce" in the spring mix that I buy for my salads. Purple is an easy one for me. "red" cabbage looks very purple too! We went to Ireland three years ago for our 25th anniversary. Scones and blackberry jam and steel cut oatmeal for breakfast! Lots and Lots of fish too.0

Good Morning all you awesome people! Everyone having fun in their travels to Ireland?
I am hoping to work on the dancing tonight. I am continuing to eat the rainbow, enjoying my salads.
I adjusted the miles on the spreadsheet to reflect the 2883 miles that are needed.
@120maggie, I think you are enjoying some radicchio in your spring mix salad.0 -
Maybe but I think as that as purplish red and white?? This stuff almost looks like dyed spinach . but hopefully not.! Its supposed to be organic!!0
