I'm delighted that we've made so many introductions already, but we are still waiting for a few stray travelers to join the expedition. Perhaps they are enjoying some last drinks in the airport lounge!

If you haven't already be sure to introduce yourself - as briefly or detailed as you like - and get comfortable! We have a long road trip ahead before we hit those fantastic beaches in Miami. Go T5! :)

    Wow, y'all are on it today! I'm going to try logging on as much as I can. I've completed sending friend requests to all the team mates and I put in a blurb about getting to know me. :) I'll let y'all know ahead of time that I mostly use the app so getting online doesn't happen as often. I'll try to log on and check in about once or twice a day. But, I'll be here. Go team! ~Charity

    Well, I tried the zumba as much as my 1 year old would let me. I'd try to do some of the dance moves and he was holding on to my leg and thought it was quite fun to swing on my leg while I moved. Lol. So it was kinda like fumbling Zumba with a large ankle weight here and there. :D ~Charity

    For all you folks worried about the water callenge try this... Drink 1 to 1.5 cups of water every hour. Set an alarm/timer on your phone to help remind yourself!

    Drinking a glass of water 1st thing when you wake in the morning is possibly one of the best things you can do for yourself. Water is the catalyst for a majority of the biological processes in our body. You can do it!

    @BirdParrott that's what I currently do. :) I usually get in 100-110 ozs of water a day by doing 12-16 oz every hour or so up until about 9pm but to do half my body weight would be another 40ish ozs...and I'm not awake enough or able to drink that much. Lol.

    I've sent all my friend requests, but waiting on a couple.

    I too am very glad that we are being marked on Zumba participation not skill :wink:

    I'm in. I introduced myself in the team five discussion board in the main group. I am 52, married, with two teen-aged daughters. I live in NC, and am a biotech/bio instructor at a community college. I just accepted friend requests from everyone who sent one, and will look to see who I need to add. I just logged Tuesday's minutes. I will be a little light this week, but I am committed!

    I actually just sent friend requests to three people who had not tried to friend me first. So hopefully I will have everyone soon.

    So last night after dinner I had planned to take the dog on a bike ride to get my daily exercise minutes; however, I ended up face planting it on the floor. Blacked out cold. I will get in my minutes for today and I will complete more minutes over the weekend (my weekend is Friday through Sunday, as I work 11 hour days Monday through Thursday). Sorry for not participating more yesterday. Weirdest thing... I've never blacked out like that before. I'm feeling better today and anticipate feeling back to normal tomorrow. So much so, that I will be bike commuting to work!

    Kudos for everyone for doing an amazing job and sticking with everything!

    My friend request was accepted now. :) And I put it 10 points.
    But just one though. Shouldn't there have been 2 people without points? :)

    @iheartcookies2 Yes there should have been. I realized that after I posted it but wasn't able to fix it since I was headed to work.

    I hope you are feeling better!! Don't feel pressured to over do it today or this weekend.

    Hi all. I'm friends with everyone as of this morning :). I mentioned earlier that I am off to a slow start this week, but I hope to get more minutes this weekend. The weather is miserable here (heat index wise). I got one walk in this morning. Not sure about this evening, because it isn't really going to cool down much today :(. Happy day, all!

    Just a friendly reminder that today is the last day to ensure you've added everyone as listed above. Please cross reference and let us know if you're missing any names on the list here.

    I believe that @fieldnicole184 is MIA so it's okay if you do not have her, it will still count.

    Thank you in advance T5! :)
