For the food challenge: yogurt.

I'm pretty sure it's a texture thing as I've tried it before with fruit for a similar challenge and it was still a no-go. This time I thought I'd try granola, figuring that something with an even more stark difference in texture would help. Nope. Still gross. Still makes me want to gag. Seems like I'm doomed to only like it in frozen yogurt form.

I have had a wonderfully long day and am feeling like I walked from 1 end of London to the other. I haven't had a chance to do the video challenges. The wifi in our hotel is a little sketchy but hopefully I can get some of it done tomorrow morning. Being that I'm in a different country and am a very picky eater, the food challenge is great for me. I have completed challenge number 3.
1. What I ate: For lunch I tried a pork belly sandwich with dried parsnips and for supper I had octopus.
2. Sentence or 2 about the experience. My lunch wasn't bad. I actually liked the dried parsnips. The pork belly sandwich was really fatty. I had to peel a bunch of fat off of it before I could finish it. As for the octopus, I definitely would have never tried it without the challenge. I can't say that I would ever order it again. It was a little chewy for my taste but it wasn't horrible.

I have tried to add my 5 points for challenge 3 and my exercise minutes but the spreadsheet is not loading. Could someone please mark me down for 155 exercise minutes and 5 points for challenge 3.

Wow @jackiep248 I'm impressed!

Challenge 3. I had a chestnut and bamboo shoot stir fry last night . something I have never had before .

Hi guys. My Internet connection is really weak and I can't get the spreadsheet to open. Could someone please add 174 minutes for me today. I wish I could get the videos to load. I could use a foot massage right now.

Added. Did you have any minutes for Tuesday 2/14?

@rusgolden welcome to England

June... it is Jackie who is in England... I could only wish I was there for a visit!

Work has been kicking my butt with a lot of extra hours put in, so not getting much extra time to fit in the videos yet. I know I shouldn't wait until the weekend to do all of them, but at this point, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get them in during the week... but I'll get them all done one way or another!

I will update the spreadsheet tonight.

Question on the videos. Previous weeks challenges have said you can count the minutes from some of the videos if you stay active while watching, but it doesn't say that this week. Does that mean you get to count them even if you just sit and watch without doing anything?

No.

CHALLENGE #1: “MUAY THAI ANYONE?”
Complete. I did the Cardio Kickboxing Abs. - Complete and felt it the next day.

CHALLENGE #2: “SABAI (RELAX!) YOUR FEET!”
Complete

CHALLENGE #3: “GRAB A BAG OF BUGS!”
Today I tried a soup with lima beans, they are not a favourite -not much taste.

CHALLENGE 3:

I have tried mango before and did not like it. It's a fruit I would like to like, but I just dislike it all of the times I try it.

However, I had a Thai Mango Chicken Salad today, and I didn't even notice a distaste for the mango pieces. The whole salad was delicious. So it looks like if I want to eat mangos, they'll have to be mixed in something else.
