I'm still here you guys!
Lol sorry I promise to be more accountable from now on.

@briwashington5 I'm glad you're feeling better.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I didn't do much yesterday.

But I'm going to the park today with my girls, so I'm going to get my walking on. I hope everyone has a good Tuesday!

If you haven't visited the spreadsheet lately there is a new area you have to put your name. So far it looks like we only have 4 team members! Go team 10!

Get well soon! @briwashington5

Sorry you're still feeling unwell @briwashington5 . It's great that you've still got so much exercise it though!

No loss for me this week, but I definitely over ate at the weekend so I need to be more sensible this week. I also didn't get to the gym yesterday (I took my kit, but I left purse and gym card at home - doh!!), but I've been doing 40 mins of walking & squats each day.

I'll have a go at some of the dances when I get home this evening!

1,830 minutes of exercise
Camp Gladiator, treadmill (cardio), cycling and body attack
I do not how to put this information on the spreadsheet. I have tried multiple times and will do anything for me.

Sorry I meant 225 minutes, sorry

We could go to Ireland a couple of times with those original minutes.

I'm wondering if anybody has any advice to give me. I am doing cardio about 4 to 5 times a week and an ab, squat, and arm challenge. Should I work out with weights or machines on top of all that or is what I'm doing enough? My goal is to lose weight of course but I'd like to tone up during the process.

Eating the Rainbow

My favorite part of MFP is entering my tried and true recipes and finding out how they breakdown into calories and nutrition. I've been cooking and eating my whole life and I just had no idea. It's fascinating!

Today's lunch was Thai Shrimp Lettuce wrap (white, purple, red, orange, yellow, green but no blue) and Blueberry Cottage Cheese Waffles (blue).


Not wrapped since I buy 454g of spring mix and it's always a race to eat it before it goes bad and I can't see buying two types of lettuce in a week. So I serve it on a bed of lettuce instead.


with some raspberry syrup and whipped topping because I'm here to lose weight not to suffer.

This meal is 481 calories. For a salad served in a serving dish and two full sized waffles! The 2 Tablespoons of 100% fruit syrup was problematic to measure so we can round up to 500 because I licked the spoon.

I was stuffed and the whole meal is less calories than the hot cocoa with 3 large marshmallows I used to drink everyday on my afternoon break. My mind boggles.

Thanks @LemonSocks

Can anyone give me a suggestion for an Irish meal not chock full o' sodium ? I am at a bit of a loss there.

Have a thirsty Thursday and chug the water to drive it away!!!

I'm gonna make beef stew this weekend, as much as I don't want to I'm doing it for the challenge!! It's not that I don't like it, I love it! But I love it with
butter and white bread!! Yummy!! But I'll make it with brown rice and only eat 1 serving.

Hey guys! Still not feeling well here. I feel worse today than yesterday. No appetite and horrible cough still.

Send prayers and good thoughts my way. Despite being sick, I have an interview for a nursing position on the mother/baby floor at my local hospital at 2 pm. I really want this job, as I love women's health nursing. But I feel like crap. I hope I interview well, despite not feeling well.

I had 'Irish Vegetable Stew' for lunch today at work - I'm not sure what made it particularly Irish, but it was healthy, low calorie and tasty so I guess that's fine.

@zerlinna87 I've got my fingers crossed for you. Good luck. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Hi guys!!! 112 minutes yesterday, loads of veggies, I think I've eaten the rainbow countless times this week. Today 70 minutes and a proper Irish corned beef feast later, with veggies (cabbage, potatoes, carrots) and Italian bread! Happy Saint Party's day all!
