Well, all my challenges are done, except the food one, but I've been well under all week and it should be no problem for me to finish strong Friday night on that one, too. Go team!

We are almost to Hawaii!! I can't wait until we make it there. I did manage to get the videos completed this morning and got some minutes in. I will hopefully get more minutes in this evening when we get stopped for the night unless I am too beat! Busy morning to get on the road then will have all the time in the world once we are driving so will catch up on some comments then!

Good morning team 2 it Tami here
I finished my videos, I walk outside 30 min 2x daily M-F. Have been under my calories 4 times this week today will make 5. I went to the gym and did over head press & dead lifts some how I hurt my left shoulder and right lower back. I am still moving just not at the pace I am use to . I turned 51 last week and am feeling every bit my age as the weather turns cold outside ...ugh time to retire ( in 7 years) and move to Arizona or Kauai . When I was 17 years old graduated from high school went to Kauai with my parents. My dad & I actually hike the 22 mile napale coast in & out same day took us from dawn to dark ( 1.5hrs past dark) lol but it was fun . Went again 2 summers ago with my son (now 14) and hiked the 4 miles in to the falls absolutely beautiful. Will definitely be going back
Hope everyone has a great weekend
I am on call all thanksgiving week so I hope our challenges are easier...TGIF

Hey teammates! Just started a ‘Keep Myself Accountable For My First Half’ Instagram page. I’m probably going to need a lot of encouragement. Haha! If anybody wants to join my little journey…. veronica_is_running

Just signed up to Instagram just to be able to follow you and hope to help you along your training journey!!

How awesome!! Thank you!!!!

Well, still have tons to catch up on....sorry. You would think with a full day in the car I'd have had tons to say. I was very tired though and kept wanting to fall asleep when I would try to do stuff on the phone or my sudoku. I did end up doing a little more exercise when we got to the hotel while waiting for our food. While I still went over on my calories, I did make some choices I was quite pleased with. I have gotten to where I will do a fruit and yogurt parfait at McDonalds instead of hash browns or fries (with one exception this last week....I blame the stress for that one! lol). We also ordered delivery Pizza place for dinner and I got a veggie sub and a Greek salad which I was able to eat without any dressing. I have still faltered a little and will definitely be doing more of that in the week to come. But that's life, right?! Lol. Hope everyone had a great week and will have an awesome weeekend!! Oh, and BTW....we made it to Hawaii!!! Congrats, guys!! Let's keep pushing and do what we can...one of these weeks we might even manage 1st.. you never know!

Got my miles in today! My walk was very cold. I forgot my hat, mitts and scarf .... brrrr!! I ended up walking total of 5.25miles! Warming up with some hot chocolate and marshmallows!!

Over on my calories today, my mom cooked supper for me and too hard to say no or count up calories on her homemade chicken soup and apple pie. If I stay under tomorrow I will complete the challenge. Also need to hike 2 miles tomorrow to finish my hiking challenge. I don't work tomorrow so should be doable for hike.
@jamaicanlady Definately follow doctors orders, let your body heal and don't worry about not completing challenges.
Congrats to team members who were able to complete all the challenges.

Hope that hot chocolate warmed you up, Jo!!
Tameika - you might also go check out the week where we went to Kyoto Japan. That week had something called radio something but it was little calisthenics videos that were also a very nice warm up. As Kim said, please make sure to follow doctors orders and do not press too much. The last thing you need is to injure yourself as it will only delay getting back into this.
Kim - I hate how hard it is to log when you do not know exact calorie counts. Since I have restarted with MFP this year, I have made it priority to log everything to the best of my ability and that is one of my greatest frustrations. On days like those, I just log to the best of my ability and if I'm taking a stab in the dark I'll try to use one of the suggestions that seems middle of the road. Have fun on your hike today!
Bri - good to hear from you. I was starting to get worried..lol. Sorry to hear it was such a crappy week. I hate when the stress of life is so bad that it almost feels unbearable. Amazing job getting so many minutes in despite all that!! Hope you and your sis have an amazing walk down the beach today!!

Outdoor hiking challenge done. 28 degrees Fahrenheit brrrr. I will be under calorie goal today. Have supper figured out and will have plenty of calories left if I want a light snack. This will be day 5 of 5. After this weeks challenge I will be adding exercise calories into my daily goal as I have met my goal weight and I just need to maintain and add muscle strength. Also got in extra exercise minutes early today hope all this helps pull us up a bit in rankings this week.

Was going to try to upload a pic but it looks like my phone is not cooperating.
