Hahaha hey Lisa you are funny. I did the healthy foods thing as well. I still plan to try the dancing. I have a Fit Bit but it doesn't have the steps thing because it is only the zip so I am not doing the steps to much manual tracking for me. I have been exercising but I too am having some issues with food. I am eating a couple chocolate covered pretzels everyday and I am thinking of where I can go out to lunch

I didn't have a chance to log my information last night on the spreadsheet because I was at my daughters first track meet. Fun times

What I would do to be a ski bunny again lots of exercise that was for sure.

Let's keep fitting together ladies.

Ok. I am going to admit I totally over ate today and didn't exercise. Tomorrow is a fresh start.

me too!!! i have been craving a red robin burger and i gave in but you are right, tomorrow is a fresh start. let's make some good choices haha

I have been overeating since Easter, never mind one day! Yesterday I did some walking. It was quite leisurely (not my usual brisk pace) but it was something! I plan on getting to the gym today to hit the treadmill!

Mini goals are a great idea....go get 'em, Melanie!

That's a lot of steps! Any exercise you do "for the team" ultimately helps YOU more than anything! You seem to be in a positive mindset place right now. Keep it going!! You got this!

Hello, Wild Flowers! I, for one, am rejuvenated to learn that there are no eliminations! Easter indulgences are far behind me...I am ready to move forward and crush it!!! If you go for a run or a walk, don't forget to take note of your distance travelled for the marathon! And start thinking of fish and cabbage dishes to incorporate into your menus this week!

I forgot to do my shout-outs for last week! As a team, we didn't make it to Egypt. We only had eight participate last week and it was a large distance to travel from PA, so many minutes were needed (too many for just eight!). However, we did have Ruffa leading the pack with over 500 minutes!! You rock girl!!! Lexy, we thought you had left us, but you were just exercising in private! Both Ruffa and Lexy managed to exercise all seven days! That's great time management and dedication! In fact, of the team members that participated last week, only Shaunie and I didn't get in at least five days of exercise! I'll try harder this week if you will, Shaunie! On the flip side of that, Tori and I were the only brave ones to attempt to belly dance! There's no dancing this week, so maybe both roadblocks are doable for everyone? I haven't checked out the kettle bell video yet, but we did one in Melodie's last challenge and it was fine. I just used a 5 pound hand weight since I don't have a kettle bell. So, if you don't have a kettle bell either, don't let that stop you! Just improvise! Let's have a great week getting our whole team to Kiev!

So, I did the kettle bell video. It is only 11 minutes long. I used a 5 lb hand weight instead and just held on to the end of it! If doing kettle bell exercises regularly makes you look like the fitness instructor in this video, then sign me up! She is in fantastic shape (and I mean her muscles!).

Thanks Lisa!!! I try to meet my goal everyday, glad to contribute miles to the group. I also hit my original goal weight which is 128 so i decided to change my final goal to 125 so goodluck to me lol

Goodluck to everyone as well on our 5th week on amazing race challenge i havent seen the kettle bell video, ill probably do it tomorrow

Hello everyone sorry I've been a little MIA I've been super busy at work, I work for myself so anything extra I can't turn down. Ok enough with the excuses ,lol
Congratulations to everyone who made it this far.
