    From everyone that has posted which fruits and vegetables they have eaten for the rainbow challenge, it would seem that white and purple are the hardest ones. I went on-line to find some examples to help you out.

    WHITE: bananas, white peaches and nectarines, brown pears, cauliflower, garlic, ginger, onion, parsnips, mushrooms, turnips, shallots, white fleshed potatoes and white corn.

    PURPLE/BLUE: blackberries, blueberries, grapes, plums, prunes, raisins, black olives, purple asparagus and cauliflower and cabbage and carrots, eggplant.

    Thank you all much! I was just sitting here trying to figure out what to eat from the rainbow that would be easy. I am sooo going to get a box of raisins

    I just looked at the spreadsheet. Thanks, Karen, for entering your minutes...and you did the dance! That's awesome! We are almost to Ireland, but remember the more minutes we do, the more points we get, and because we have a smaller team, we have to work extra hard! Have a great last two days everyone!

    My rainbow was a red apple, a green pepper, an orange carrot, white onions and garlic and purple/blue blackberries. What sort of Irish dishes did everyone prepare this week? If you haven't there's still time. It doesn't have to be an entree. It could even be a real Irish coffee. Get creative and try to find something simple. Good night everyone...it's bedtime here in the Eastern time zone.

    Mauli, no need for you, or anyone, to apologize on here! We are ALL only ever doing what we can! You just deal with your daughter and her hair (I don't even want to know!). Besides, you've already recorded a ton of minutes this week! Keep up the great work!

    hand bike not sure the real name its like a bike for your arms (10 mins)
    recumbent bike (11 mins)
    cross trainer (13 mins)
    rower (3 mins not done this very much so i struggled to do it)
    swimming (45 mins)
    walk home (25 mins)
    total 162 for sunday

    went a bit off track at the weekend with some take out food though.

    Kate, got you entered. Nice gym workout!

    Jenny, amazing workout today! Don't beat yourself up for having some take out on a weekend... it's only one meal. Besides, you made up for it by working your butt off today!

    Ruffa, "only" 60 minutes of running! Nice job! Salad sounds amazing, too!

    Wow Jenniferblack129 way to go! ruffalicious, that salad sounds yummy!
    Friday: did 30 min Zumba after the kids went to bed. This team really motivated me to do that.
    Sat I taught 2 1/2 hour dance classes (it's not at all strenuous, but it is still excercise in my opinion.) Today I did the Irish dancing woohoo (as a dancer and we teach irish at our studio, I wasn't all too impressed with the teaching. But I was impressed that it was so slow a lot more non- dancers could have gotten it, ya know)! And I did some weight lifting. While my eating was still terrible all weekend (again), I at least exercised more. Exercising to me has always been easier than eating right.
