Another good day. I wanted to walk so I pit a incline up a little. I wanted the 45 min so I made it harder not faster

Hi All (and @missionenforcer) - I'm located in central California on the coast. It's beautiful here between ocean and coastal mountains, but we are in serious need of rain! The very mild climate allows outdoor exercise almost always - but I did those drum exercises inside for sure (with everyone out of the house)! We happen to leave two houses away from a bike path that follows a (dry) creekbed. It has been well used by us all the years we've lived here!2

Hi everyone! I love cardio drumming! I've been doing different ones on YouTube the past couple of days. I've decided to incorporate this into my everyday exercise routine. No more pots & pans goodbye wooden spoons! I've got the right setup now. Hope you all have a great day...8 -
I have to find out how I count this Sunday. I am working at a pumpkin chucking event. I think I will be running around all day 10-4 how do I count that??

@carinamenina If it is flavored with a lemon or something in your water, yes. If it's flavored with a water infuser, yes. If it is an artificial sweetener, no. Such as Crystal Lite or anything of that sort.carinamenina wrote: »@SmashleyM914 Can we count flavored water (sugar free lemonade, etc) for the challenge? Or does it have to be straight up water?
@niesjojo3 Haha I love your enthusiasm about the drumming! Great work!!
Challenge #1 is very simple and an important part of this challenge! You all need to either make sure it gets done, and if you've done it please please please don't forget to give yourself the points! @cowgoo @Ellebee332 @Fitbug92 @markyj8383 @plainanjelik
We're 98% of the way there! Don't forget we don't want to quit when we get to our destination! For each 10% we go over we get 10 more points! Go team go!!
We're also back down to last place, let's get moving and get those challenges in!
I hit my 5th day of the water challenge today, and I'll be doing the drumming tonight!5 -
Just finished my water. I have completed of all weekly challenges. I had a hard time getting exercise in today, but did my best walking around my store for at least 45 minutes. it is the most incredibly boring thing to do. A couple of weeks, and I won't have to work every day. Counting the seconds...2

It is taking me a bit to get used to how all of this works - the technology. I'm getting there. I have figured out this is easier on my desktop than on my iPhone. I will try to do the Viking Challenge today. You really want me to drink water? O.k. I will try this today. That won't fit the 5 for 7 day gig, but perhaps it will get me going. I get the no Crystal Light - it is pretty sweet. My favorite is good tea with just a wee bit of sweetener to tone the bitterness. Today, I'll try water.2

Stopping by from Team Five to offer some encouragement for everyone!
So I was doing my Saturday morning kpop fangirl thing when I came across this YouTube video of 40 toughest kpop dances (fan made, so my opinion was different).
https://youtu.be/59fwEoHmX5I
Some of the dancers look like they're weightless at how fast they move their feet.
I read an article about the rigorous kpop training industry. If you notice in interviews, the idols are very humble and grateful that they get to do their passion. And this is why:
In Korea, musicians are not 'discovered' like they are around the world. They first audition as a young teen, even so far as 12 years old for one member from BigBang.
Once they pass the audition, they sign with a label as a 'trainee'. They then practice relentlessly dancing, singing, and acting for an average of 2-5 years before they're even allowed to debut. One member of Beast spent 7 years before his debut.
They can be cut at anytime, perform weekly for the president of the label, and are criticized constantly to weed out the 'weaklings'. The emotionally strong and determined continue to train until finally being allowed a debut.
They leave their families at an early age and move to Seoul to pursue their dreams.
After reading about how hard an entire group of people will work to obtain their dream, and even knowing over 72% will never even debut in their life, what are you going to do today to achieve your goals?
Nothing is unobtainable in life. You want to be a king? Form a monarchy.
You want to play soccer in England? Start dribbling a ball at the park.
Make a goal, form a plan, find your passion, and do it.
Have a great day everyone.6 -
Hello team. Hopefully you are all just saving up inputting your minutes & your challenges. I am not a fan of last place
I ran already today & if I get home from work & the house is quiet I may do some Yoga again. I really liked that & I think that my hamstrings need a good stretch from running almost every day.
Have a great day!
@My_Butt: Thanks for the inspiration. You are exactly right. Perseverance is the key.2 -
I really didn't want to get up and walk this morning before my son's ball games. Then I thought of the team and laced up my shoes and logged an hour. I'll go for another walk with my husband tonight. I'm also not a fan of losing.3

Hi Team! Just got back from a trip to the mountains. We did a nice hour long hike yesterday. I also did my water challenge, thanks @TaraDanielle40 for the water bottle trick!5

Today was my most active day of the week, as Saturdays always are. Started off with a way awesome 10-mile run up the canyon...simply gorgeous right now, and not too chilly which was nice. Then I came home and, after resting a little bit and finishing my protein shake, I did all the cardio drumming challenge. My 8-year-old just kept laughing at me and my 3-year-old joined in for a little bit of it And I got all my water in! 100 oz a day was difficult but I managed it. Feeling a little water logged, though. I normally get 80 a day and thought that was good enough. I also weighed in this morning and had a nice loss. Officially less than 15 lbs from my goal weight, and mere ounces away from weighing the least I ever have since I was probably 10 (no joke). Life is good 6

Okay! I'll try again (sorry @MissionEnforcer I swear I know how to read
) I am from BEAUTIFUL southwest FL where (right now) it is breezy, sunny, and a total vacation destination! The land is flat and the snowbirds are migrating! I am about 20 min from a multitude of beaches (yet I prefer the pool). During the summer months it is HUMID and disgusting, but October-February are magical (this morning it was 55 and right now its low 70s in the shade). 4 -

Team information
The Race… each minute of exercise = 1 mile in the race. Let me say that one thing I learned from the last race is that, while exercise minutes matter, it is the mini-challenges that matter the most. Our team cheerleader in the last race was kind of a math/stats nut and during one week posted a comparison… it would take the team 7 hours, 48 minutes of exercise to get 10 points; whereas, one person, doing one 30-minute mini challenge, would also earn 10 points. The challenges are designed to accommodate injuries, etc., so we really need everyone to be striving to knock those out!
Entering your daily minutes, challenges, etc… please, please, please, get your minutes entered daily if at all possible. As with most MFP group challenges, we utilize a Google Sheets spreadsheet. If you don’t have access or use a computer much, you can download Google Sheets for iOS or Android devices. I use an Android phone and have an iPad and don’t have an issue using the spreadsheet on either. If you’re not able to enter into the spreadsheet, then “phone” them in by posting on the Team thread and one of your teammates can enter for you.
Something that may help us get out of last place

I did volunteer work today. 2.5 hours at the fish game and then 12:30-4 doing the little tractors. I am counting this as 1.5 hours because I was pushing little kids around the track, turning around tractors or running down the track to unstuck kids. It really was a ton of work. The kids that couldn't peddle very well wanted to go a lot. I couldn't say "Look kid, I am beat, Get your parent to push you" I had a really good time so I am counting it.4
