Whew! Finally caught up on all the posts! I'm hoping to get on the computer today so I can update the spreadsheet. I'm still sick from the cold I picked up in France so my minutes are pitiful this week. Even though we don't have snow (thank God for that!!) it's awfully cold for us so I'm not even walking Bailey much.
I did the Hawaii hiking one since I was outside on Monday walking around London and then played golf Thursday. Easily got those miles in outside!

So no excuses for not doing that Ab challenge! We knew that @hawkins410 would give us the needed help! Which one will you pick @cardbucfan ? Maybe a few of us who have completed the videos will redo them for some extra minutes!4 -
Just a reminder. For the second challenge You have to tell why you picked the activity!4

I chose the hiking challenge because it was doable with my cold and I'm not a fan of the videos lol!3

Hi team one!
Last night I had a holiday party, which was really fun but I ate and drank way too much! Morning came way too soon and I debated but managed to drag myself out for my running group long run at 8 am. I did 90 minutes of running in the cold. Mostly I was dressed warmly enough but my butt was super cold. And at the end my toes were cold and soaked. It took a long time to warm up.
I took Stella out after I had a chance to recover and did a 50 minute walk. Then Stella and I had a nap challenge this afternoon I won because she woke me up, but I guess that also means I lost, because I wanted to sleep longer.
I also did the 6 minute standing abs video for the 2nd time and the 12 minute abs with dumbbell for the first time. I liked the 12-minute one better. Some nice stretching. So I just need to do that one more time tomorrow to finish challenge 1.
Finally, I did 57 minutes of Shakti Power Flow from Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. That was a good one, but my legs were shaking after all I had done today. Total minutes for today were 214, entered in to the spreadsheet.
I hope everyone is having a good day, and getting lots of minutes. @hawkins410, hope your travels went okay. Your driver looks a little out of it.4 -

This challenge has been really fun!
Let's end it strong!5 -

I chose to do “It’s Rajio Taiso Time!” from week three. I like the simplicity of the routine and music. I found it both relaxing and invigorating at the same time if that makes sense.3

Challenge 1
COMPLETE EACH VIDEO TWICE- Done last one this morning.
Chall 2
I picked the Turkey Trot from New York leg. We started training for our Annual Half-Marathon April 29th in November. Yesterday my husband and I had a day off so we walked the entire course which goes along the American River and Sac State Univ. The first two times we completed it we did half of the course but we did the full thing this time. My legs weren’t as sore as last year when we did it but still feel like jello when we got back in car and got home to walk to house, wow. Need more practice I guess. We didn’t do it timed yet. We are just starting walking course for the first few times, then we will start timing, I hope to beat last year’s time since we have been more active this year with walks and hikes.
Chall 3
1. Limit snacking when working, since I am working from home not an easy task need to stop buying bad snacks for family. More carrots, celery and mushrooms. Puff Cheetos are my downfall.
2. Not weigh myself daily, I get obsessed with this and it’s a downer sometimes. Pick a once a week time and stick with it.
3. Being active every day, just makes you feel good about yourself when you are walking, hiking, or exercising.
4. Getting enough sleep at night, better for your body and mind.
5. Need to learn to combat my stress level at work. Breathe, take a moment to pause and reflect.
6. Keep drinking water. It fills me up and satisfies any cravings I may have most times.
7. Make healthy food choices to have a healthier me. Limit the going out to eat.
8. Remember to always stay positive and SMILE!
New to try
9. Try new forms of exercise. Been looking at You tube videos for different workouts since its coming into the rainy season. We will still do walks as we are triaining for half marathon but need more challenging exercises.

Challenge #2:
I completed the “HIKING THE NA PALI COAST” Challenge. I chose this challenge because I love to go on long walks outside, and have always wanted to go to Hawaii
. The pictures are so beautiful that they made me look at all of the other weeks' challenges, that took place before I joined the race. @hawkins410 and @MissionEnforcer definitely did a wonderful job putting all of this together! 2 -
