    Sorry team - been a busy week and I haven't had much time to "think" let alone log. I did get my numbers in - they aren't the best but they are there. At least the college visit upped my Tuesday numbers.. .maybe I should just go visit a college a day - don't have to take the kids right? :D

    Going to try to work on the two challenges that are blank - hoping to get those done before the day is out. I did get the color challenge done (of course - it was eating!) :p

    @MissionEnforcer
    Day 1: dinner stir fry - carrots - orange, broccoli - green/white, onion - white/green, rice - brown, red pepper - red, green pepper - green
    Day 2: dinner: carrots - orange, green beans - green, lima beans - green, potatoes - white
    Day 3: stir fry lunch - carrots - orange, broccoli - green/white, onion - white/green, rice - brown, red pepper - red, green pepper - green
    Day 4: lunch: lettuce - green, tomato - red, strawberries - red, blueberries - blue
    Day 5 dinner: venison chili - red peppers - red, green peppers - green, onion - white, tomato - red

    so that covers orange, green, white, brown, red and blue

    Hey Team 3,
    I just did my last Arm video challenge! Which means I finished all 3 challenges this week. First time this race. I also went for a nice walk this morning, good thing, as the sun was shining then, but its clouded over now. I hope everyone has a lovely sunday!

    @MissionEnforcer

    My food challenge this week:
    Day 1: (red)redcurrants, (blue)blackberries, raisins, (yellow)pineapple, banana, (green)avocado
    Day 2: (red)redcurrants, (blue)blackberries, raisins, (yellow)pineapple, banana, (green)lettuce, (orange)satsumas, (red)tomatoes, strawberries, orange pepper, (green)celery, kiwi
    Day 3: (red)redcurrants, (blue)blackberries, raisins, (yellow)pineapple, banana,
    Day 4: (red)redcurrants, (blue)blackberries, raisins, (yellow)pineapple, banana, (green)lettuce, (orange)satsumas, (red)tomatoes, strawberries, orange pepper, (green)celery, kiwi
    Day 5: (red)redcurrants, (blue)blackberries, raisins, (yellow)pineapple, banana, (green)avocado

    As you can tell... I'm one for patterns and habits lol. It's part of a yoghurt/granola thing I get at work for breakfast. Others are from salads - yep I use fruits in salad too, makes it more filling I find.

    I spaced the exercise out over the week, as I noticed my body did NOT like jump rope! Partly laziness, partly lower back/hip pain but I'm starting to feel better :) I'll get back to you on how the arms feel on the next leg LOL.

    The jump rope killed me. So happy to be done with that. I promise I probably didn't even do 30sec more than necessary. Will be feeling the legs for a few more days (stairs and sumos are nothing compared to this !)

    Hope everyone logs in we got a lot of zeros, (might bump us out of last place (would be nice eh?). Hope everyone had an excellent weekend can't wait to see where we are off to next.

    Hi everyone,
    Just finished adding in all my exercise numbers for the week. Got 2/3 challenges done. Did the jump rope this evening, had to keep taking breaks but I got it all done, did a bit of yoga after and going to use the foam roller to roll out any remaining tightness in my legs so hope I don't feel it too much tomorrow.

    Didn't do challenge two, honestly between the 21 day fix and what not I didn't want to overwork the muscles.

    @MissionEnforcer

    Here is challenge 3
    *Colors (yellow, green, blue, white, red, brown-black, orange)*

    Monday: yellow-pineapple / green-avocado

    Unclear if it was service list or battery but here ya go.

    G'day mates, how ya goin?

    Amazing race notes

    3 min video- my notes say Fascinating! :)
    I just love all the information that gets put into this challenge!
    Thank you so much!!

    Challenge 1) Complete! 33 min

    Most of my jump roping was done before SF. The rest was carried over from another challenge, luckily.
    I also did the replacement video. Ok, I watched it. Then used the moves. :)
    I can't make out my note (one downfall of handwriting) but something about the sitting one and lol. I'll have to research it to bring back the memory. Ha!
    Hopscotch! Hah! This one I remember. I was quickly double checking the requirements and saw the hopscotch option. I told my friend we have to play hopscotch while we're out today. She asked why not right now... Which lead to playing in the hotel room right then. Cause why not?! :) So fun! No minutes were counted. Thank you for the fun time!
    This week was so Arms Arms Arms! Waking in San Francisco is a nice change of pace. But I can definitely feel it in my arms today. (Second day doms perhaps? :) ) ..even tho they mostly flailed about it seems. :)

    Challenge 2-
    I have marked ,
    workout w/out weights
    Swim workout
    And alternate workout.
    I think carrying my 6 bags through upper Haight Ashbury for 6 hours should count for something too. Js. ;)

    Normally I try to do everything separately but this week double dipping (between other challenges) was a tad necessary. Not really tho. ;)

    Challenge 3- @MissionEnforcer

    Mon) Red- Strawberry
    Yellow- pineapple
    Orange- cantaloupe
    Purple-grapes
    Blue-berries
    Green- broccoli
    Tues) Green- lettuce, pepper
    Purple (it's not red)- onion
    Wed) Red-Apple
    Green- spinach
    Purple/Red(?)- Grapes
    Thur) color? - Parsnips
    Orange- Sweet potato
    White- onion
    Day) Grapes
    White/Yellow(?)-Banana
    Green- Apple
    Blue-berries
    Friday-
    Apple, lemon, ginger, carrot! - juice.

    So I typically get my fruits and veggies in cause I love them both. But I take challenges like this to do new things. The juice was awesome! Having avocado on my grilled chicken is something I never would have done before. It was so good!
    Bonzer! Thanks for the challenge!

    To sum up San Francisco w/ lingo learned this week

    There's no dunny here,
    You reckon you can go in the road?
    Too right!

    ^^based on live events (not me) and recreated for MFP. Haha!

    Here are my minutes for this week.

    Mon- 239
    Tues- 228
    Wed- 180
    Thur- 196
    Fri- 274
    Sat- 608
    Sun- 172 (not totaled yet)

    Sorry for the hassle in posting. :/

    I was messaging @BJerzy from the pier between phone failures and eventually death of battery. For like 4 min it randomly started working and I copied and pasted (for the most part) my minutes from another challenge this week. I screenshot the error code and time .. If that matters? :)
    I'll send a message to MissionEnforcer as well @HASWLRS

    Wether someone can still post or not this was another AMAZING journey this week!!! Beyond Thanks. Catcha later V

    Oh my gosh I just LOVE this weeks challenges. I want to go to Hawaii so bad - maybe one day?? I also love to Hike and I really need the 5 days under calorie challenge. I haven't been so good in that dept. lately. I am never comfortable dancing but I'll get through it. Can't wait to get home and take my first 2 mile walk tonight outside!
  • enuf2
    enuf2 Posts: 272 Member
    Looks like a great week ahead. Snow is expected here by Friday...going to get that hike in before then! Dancing is always a blast, so that's a no brainer! The nutrition challenge is exactly what I need. I haven't been very good with logging or staying under.
    Here's to Kauai!
  • RunRaineyRun

    This week is PERFECT!
    I'm going to Hawaii next November ("this time next year...") so I need to get in the mood - and get in the good habits if I want to be comfortable in my swimsuit! Dare I even say... a bikini? *GASP* lol.
    Lordy, there's some serious work to do in the next year :D

    I have to admit, I'm struggling keeping my food intake under my calorie goal, no matter if I'm having fruit and veg on a daily basis. I really hope I can do that part, as I've been failing on staying under and logging lately.

    Like the others said, I really like this week's challenges and where we are headed. I've only been to Hawaii once, but it was on a lay over! So....stuck in airport. :s

    My son's baseball practice ended last week, and that's when I would walk outside, twice a week, for 90 minutes each time. With it being over, I don't have that scheduled walking in for the week....so this will be good to make me go outside.

    I also need the under calorie challenge. One of my high calorie items is mixed nuts - I am such a believer in eating them for the healthy fats, and it has helped my good cholesterol go up. I always eat half of the servings, but it is still incredibly high in calories. Does anyone have any other suggestions for incorporating healthy fats that are lower in calories? I also use olive oil over regular oil.

    I hope everyone is doing well - here's to a new week. :)

    Well fats will never be too overly low in calories since every gram of fat is usually about 7 calories, but I would recommend avocado/guacamole. Avocado can be quite filling and you can dip veggies in it too.

    All.....I am back on track this week had some major derailments last week but I back on the wagon. I did get 1/2 mile of outside walking in today and complete my food journal under my calories....here is to a much more organized week.
  • BJerzy
    BJerzy Posts: 1,844 Member
    This is going to be a tough week for me...2-2.5 hour rehearsals after school means I'll have to run inside since it's pitch black, but that's only the first half of the week so I'll have to do some extra running/walking later in the week. I can do it! I am pretty good about logging so that shouldn't be an issue, at least for 4 days. Friday will be a real struggle because we apparently go out after the show Friday. I will have to be very good.....or walk during the entire break between school and call time! I was looking forward to some hula but this other dance should be fun, too! Let's get to HI as soon as possible! I want plenty of time to relax and explore!

    So Tuesday is going to be my Monday... jump start the week for exercise before i wash this gray right outta my hair... haha.. trip to the hairdresser. I did log today and stayed under so thats a plus. I will get the hike in around the pending rain... not walking on a muddy road... and thats all I've got back here... dirt roads. Hoping for a reset as I've been in a funk... and its been worse since little mans surgery.. not sure why. Gotta get on the downslide of my numbers...why was it easier when i was on the road and hotel living all summer?

    This week is going to be a better week for sure! Not saying last week was bad, it was just too busy. I'll be glad to get back into a routine this week. Like everyone else, I love the challenges this week. I am going to complete them all for sure!

    Going to walk outside at least 10 minutes on my lunch break everyday. I can do at least 1/2 a mile in that time. Whatever I don't get done during the week for this challenge I will get caught up on the weekend!

    For the muve videos, I am planning to do 2 a day, so I should have that challenge done by Thursday.

    I am very glad we have the stay under calories challenge again. It'll be great to get my eating back in check again!

    Hope everyone has a good week :)

    Hello, everyone. I watched the video in the intro and marched in place for my bonus five minutes. I was the first to enter into the spreadsheet this week, so for a mini moment, I was leading all Racers this week! Well, that didn't last long. I did go to an hour long yoga class and I did 4 of the muve videos. I know she wants us to spread them out over the week, but I just don't know if my schedule will allow it, so just to be safe I did half tonight. They are pretty fun and easy, so I can always do them more than twice each if my week opens up. For the 4 mile walk, I already walk/run outside three days a week, so that will be easy. Even if you considered it all running, we will cover at least 9 miles in total. I haven't completed my food log tonight, but I will be under. Good start to the week for me. I hope you, too!

    To whom it may concern,

    My sympathy's to those affected by this in a negative way but I will not be checking in with anyone this week.
    I'm taking time off to release and reflect.

    @Dictorbutt please take care of yourself, it should be your main priority.


    As for me, life (actually traffic) has been kicking my butt for the last two days, totally exhausted and can't find the energy for my workouts after a two hour commute in and two hour commute out. at minimum i have taken some walks, today out in the field home from the combine with my daughter, was totally discouraged to find out the fresh air walk at the end of the day was only 1 KILOMETER, a long way to go for the 4 MILES that is needed. tomorrow (or later tonight-> yeah right maybe) will do some dancing videos, on target for the under calories so far this week (got to love homemade chicken noodle soup for that )

    Hope everyone else is well and sweating good. i think we have again some new team members so welcome, and please add me to your friends!

    Ok all my current status for this week is.....

    2.50 miles outside
    1 out of 5 days journalling under calories

    I ate way to much to journal today. Tomorrow is a fresh start.

    Morning,
    Wow it's wednesday already. This week is flying by - we are back in moving mode at work. We are moving back into our school this week. It's been very hectic so far and we still have a lot to do. Classes are expected to continue on as usual, so you can imagine what it's like. Oh - did I mention its report card time as well? LOL! Good times. :p
    Stats so far:
    1.5 miles (2km)
    2/5 logging and staying under.
