I completed the videos, finally! Man, the first video I was like "Okay, is this lady ever going to put her arms down?" and then by the second video I got the theme. I am so uncoordinated, so I'm sure if I was an actual participant in these videos I'd be in the way back, 5 seconds behind lol. I plan on doing more exercise than that today. When I last logged, I looked and we are 20 points behind Team 1! So close!

I'll put my minutes in later, but just wanted to let you guys know I walked everywhere today.

@darcijojo I hate when that happens. I love walking too. I almost wish I could walk to work. They are trying to put in a bike path that would make it a nice flat bike ride

Hey everybody, sorry I haven't checked the team thread in a couple days but life has been busy! I ran 9 miles today and I'm not that fast, which is actually good because it gave me a lot of minutes to log for today :P Did all the challenges too, and Sundays are always my rest day, so that's it for me for the week! Keep it up, everyone I love seeing all those numbers

Just finished putting in my minutes for Sunday and we are now 10 behind the first place team and 40 ahead of the third place team.

Sorry i haven't been to active on the thread the last couple days, i have been a little run down and not doing much other than working and sitting with DH. BUT today i will be doing everything i can to try and help us get into first place. I have to work till about noon, then its all about getting the exercises done. I just looked and we are 25 from first after i added what little i did yesterday. LETS GO GET IT EVERYONE !!!

70 minutes done for the day. I'm going to the grocery store and then I think I'll look up a yoga video on youtube for that last 35. I could use a good stretch. My body is tired and I really wanted to rest today, but I really wanted to get those 700 minutes also. Goals!

Well yesterday was a total fail on my part. Had to work in the morning then spent the afternoon and this morning writing a paper for school. Did my best today but still didn't get the 700 minutes. Oh well, i'll try again next week.

Hey team. I logged around 100 minutes for today, which has been my biggest day yet! I went on a long walk during the day, and then did an hour on a stationary bike. The stationary bike was so tortuous, it bores me to death but I had to do it for the team and couldn't go outside since a little weather came in.

@Scherzie days of travel are always so draining! Where did you go off to?

@plainanjelik 665 minutes totally counts in my book as meeting the max, way to go! Good luck on your paper.

I might not be able to get a workout in tomorrow, I've got a big exam coming up on Tuesday. I'll definitely try to make up for it afterwards. Way to kick butt this week everyone!

I went to I-hop for lunch and tried to pick something good so I picked the garden omelette. I went to track it and saw it was like 850 calories. I did get the fresh fruit and not the toast or hashbrowns. Really??? 800+ calories. I did log it into my calories and ate something less for dinner. Anyone else get shocked when you go to log food. My goal for next wee is to max out on the workout minutes.

I typed a big long thing about all my work today and it's gone. It was a lot of exercise minutes though.

@darcijojo I hate that! I have learned that my iPhone emojis do that though. I only use the MFP ones in the threads now And I select all and copy often!

Hubby had different plans for my rest day. We went for a 1 1/2 mile jog and a 2 3/4 mile walk. I was even able to get it on the spreadsheet!

@tarpguys give the hubs a high 5 for me!!

I despise the stationary bike too plus it doesn't get me any steps so I never use it lol

@getsa Welcome!!

Ile de la Réunion - about 320 miles per teammate, I'm excited to get there, it looks beautiful! We killed our goal last week of getting to our destination by Friday, let's make that our goal every week!!
More testing of our coordination this week too lol! About 15 minutes less time for these videos, so they should be completed no-problemo!
Challenge 2 will be difficult for me, it's looking like a cold week in the teens by me, but I'll get it done! Just have to bundle up
Chicken in creole sauce - so delicious!! We had it on our honeymoon almost every day, it's a huge dish in Costa Rica! I came home and found a yummy recipe, however I've already got my meals planned for the week. Maybe I'll squeeze it in over the weekend!

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the hiking challenge. All I could think was that 4.5 mile walk to and from the grocery store I did yesterday won't count? And now it's snowing!! .

It's only an inch but in the DC metro area it might as well be 6 feet. People suddenly forget how to drive as soon as there's white stuff falling from the sky sp in an effort not to get run over I'll skip today. Hopefully the weather's a bit better tomorrow so I can get those miles in.
