Hey y'all! Crazy busy week at work. I guess they're making me pay for or make up my time off last week..haha. I finally got to update the spreadsheet. Yay! We reached our goal for the week! Awesome job! And back to the grind I must go, but I'll catch up again this weekend! TGIF y'all!

Anyone curious about the Oregon Country Fair (and you just might want to be), check out these photos...

Ummm... wow! I was not expecting that, lol. Some really talented body paint designs though! As @littlebarry said, if you can post here or your personal feed, we can get them added... or if you'll be back in time to enter Monday morning, that is fine too! Enjoy!

Hey Flying High-Fivers... I hope everyone is having a good Friday! In looking at the spreadsheet, it looks like we are currently in 4th place, but 3rd and even 2nd place is within reach by the end of this leg. We have a few folks that wait until the end of the week to enter their minutes in, which is totally fine, but it looks like the other teams do as well, so don't think we will be able to rely on that to sling-shot past them. I know everyone is doing their best, but try to add an extra 15 min a day to what you normally do if you can... that would translate into almost 2000 minutes a week for our team total. We're also behind the other teams in the challenge points, so if everyone can do those videos we'll be in good shape.
Good luck everyone and have a great weekend!1 -
We're starting to look a little sad team
. Lets get up and do some Highlands Dancing! 
If you think holding back on logging is a good strategy, you're wrong! Unless you're in 1st or 2nd place all it does is make your Team-mates loose interest. Team 1 is so successful because they're involved!!! 1 -
I did the first video twice today and the 5 minute abs once. I'll try to do it once more before bed. My arms and success are sore , so it's definately doing it's job!! Then I just gave to do them once each tomorrow and I'm done!!!!1

Just finished the weight and dance challenges. If I can do the dance challenges I think everyone should at least be able to eat a raspberry. Almost half the team hasn't done this. It's 5 pts EACH. The team would have to work over 153 minutes of exercise time, to make up for each player who finds it too difficult to eat a Raspberry Yogurt, and log it!2
-
Ok, finished the standing abs for the second time tonight. Is anyone else finding it hard?? Once more for each video tomorrow and then I am done!!!!!2

Today was not a good day for me minutes-wise, but tomorrow I have big plans! A long, big run then HOURS working in the garden. We are picking peas and raspberries, then I am ripping out 6 rows of peas and their fencing, a few rows of lettuce, digging garlic, and beware any weeds that show their heads -- they are doomed!

@Mrscanmore ... great job! Yes, I thought they were hard as well, but I pretty much did them as my workout for the day and did each video on different days, but did them 5 times to get it over with... just treated each time as a "set" for the workout. The standing abs though... by that last "set" my arms were shaking holding the weight.
@ajfuelling ... me too! I plan on doing my run in the morning and depending on the weather, some yard-work and tennis. If it rains, I can move the yard-work to Sunday.
They posted some hints and tips on the main page... I think @littlebarry hit the nail on the head... we need to be more active if we are going to be successful. I'm a pretty competitive person and I've seen that same competitiveness in many of you... so let's do this!...together!1 -
I'm competitive person too .and agree with rusgolden and littlebarry lets move it over the weekend .. eat them raspberries and get them kilts on . lets get in 1st place .
WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER AS A GROUP.

I'm very competative too!! Just finished the workouts for the last time! My shoulder muscles are very sore!! It's been good for me though because I do lots of cardio, but I avoid doing any strength training! I went for a walk this morning with a friend. It is so humid here that I had definately worked up a sweat by the end of the walk!
I'm off to camp tomorrow. I should have some internet access, but it could be spotty. If we have videos to do, I might need someone to give me the "described video". I'll see how the wifi is there! On the plus side, there are lots of hills and I'll be doing lots of walking back and forth to buildings!0 -
Killed it this morning!
I had a GREAT run -- an hour, the weather was gorgeous, I had the road to myself, I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Then I continued that beast mode in the garden -- 3 hours of picking, ripping out pea vines and fences, weeding, digging up the dirt....
By the end of the morning, I was a sweaty mess of mud, bug spray, sun screen and accomplishment. Taking a few minutes here a lunch to catch my breath before shucking/freezing peas and prepping for an evening campfire with friends. I think I've earned a smore!!!!
I hope you all find some time to enjoy being active this weekend!!!2 -
I just did a couple errands by bike instead of by car and added on some extra minutes!
I just had the time to check out the Oregon Fair pics. Not what I expected either! But looks like fun! 2 -
OIY, for this week we are currently in LAST PLACE!!!!
I'm aiming for an hour tomorrow, or hopefully more to help bolster our position! Come on team! We are awesome, we can do better!1 -

Not good and very frustrating for the ones who are working hard .1 -
Hi everyone, Hope everyone's weekend is going well.
I've decided that starting tomorrow, I'm only going to post on the original Team Thread, that the game provided. We're the only team to have a separate group, and I think it's working against us. Any enthusiasm that we try and produce here is being "preached to the Choir". Our own team captain doesn't even seem to post anything useful on it...the only way I knew she was gone this week, was to catch a quick blurb from her wall. This might work if you're on her friends list (we are) but won't help me with someone like jschmid2, who has ignored all of my friend attempts.
This private group is getting so many individual threads, that it's hard to know where to post things. When I needed minutes posted over the 4th, I posted everywhere, because I wasn't sure if anything would be read.
The original team thread is linear, with no side threads, it's accessible from the spreadsheet (link is in "Team 5", upper left corner), and since this is where we need to post our recipes, etc., it seems the best chance of reaching out to the people, who might need encouragement.
Have a Great Day Everyone!
