I tried green pepper again.
My husband found a recipe for stuffed peppers and it was really good! Stuffed with hamburger, rice, onions, tomatoes, yellow and red peppers, zucchini, garlic

@lbenson2006
to you! Thanks for all you've done so far. Hope you're able to stay on the team, just maybe not as active as before... 1 -
@lbenson2006 You have been a great team leader!! Good luck with all the insanity in your life!! We will be here to cheer you on.
My sister surprised me today by coming for a visit with her kids. They live a 7 hour drive away and I haven't seen them since June last year. Suffice to say the baby is no longer a baby and is walking everywhere now! I have to work tomorrow which sucks as they are going home Monday but it's nice to see them. I had already planned to go the week affer Easter so it won't be too long until I see them again.
I had a great NSV (Non scale victory) today. I work in the Concessions department at the zoo and one of the things I hate most is our soft serve ice cream machines. They are constantly breaking and it is so annoying!! We also have to clean them every week. When you take apart an ice cream machine there are 2 barrels where the ice cream is churned. (I don't have a pic but we have all seen those pictures of vets sticking their arm in a cow? It's like that. ) I have never been able to clean these properly or get the piece out from the back of the barrels because my arms are too fat and couldn't fit down the barrel. But today my arm went right in with no trouble!! I don't have to get anybody to help me anymore.5 -
@lbenson2006 I was hoping that maybe sometime in the future we could meet up since we live close to one another. We also apparently see the same nutritionist. I hope we can keep in touch, please hang in there. You have inspired me to stay on this team since I started this last summer. Keep in touch and know that your efforts are appreciated!2

I have been putting off doing the scary food challenge all week, but I promise I will get it done. I told my sister I've been having trouble picking something, so my brother-in-law has volunteered to bring me something "special" on Sunday.

@lbenson2006 Hang in there, I'm hoping things will slow down soon. I appreciate you and everything you have done for our team. Stay as involved as you can. @murdog3t thanks for stepping up.
As of today, I've completed the challenges and should be able to add at least another hour/miles later today. I'm traveling a bunch this week and next. I'm already awaiting next weeks challenges. I'm hoping to get them done early and out of the way.1 -
What a coincidence. My nephew & his wife are vacationing in Thailand for a month so I've been seeing all the beautiful Photos on FB of his trip, looks amazing! I've been getting the videos & minutes done but not doing the eating challenge this time. I just can't think of anything that I don't eat now but would be willing to try. The weather is so nice right now, hope to get out today, maybe clean the yard!
Have a beautiful Sunday!2 -
Thanks everyone. I am going to stay in it and do as best as I can. I just didn't think I could do what I expect of myself as captain. Things will have to calm down eventually and by next race I hope to be able to get back to being captain. I absolutely love it. @Annampea I would definitely love to meet up at some point in the future. Always assumed that was how you heard about the race.
I got some minutes in but still have to finish up the foot massages and get my food one done. 3 -
Food challenge - I tried Brussel sprouts again.
These ones were lightly sauced in a butter sauce. They were edible if I had to eat them. Still would not be a go to vegetable for me. A few of them still had that dirt taste to me. Ughh..horrible aftertaste...going to have to hurry up and eat my other veggies!!1 -
This false spring in Wisconsin is doing nothing for me regarding catching up on much needed housework. But oh the great walks that I've had!1
-
@lbenson2006 Lol, I LOVE brussel sprouts! Roasted with sea salt and balsamic vinegar! And shredded raw in a salad! YUM! I love seeing what food y'all have an inversion to!3

I love Brussels sprout just like @RandiNoelle yum yummy happy Sunday0 -
So I finally completed all of the challenges for the week. I did the kick boxing yesterday which was a throwback to when I used to take kickboxing years ago for exercise. It almost made me want to get into some type of kickboxing again. I may have to check out the ringside class at my gym.
I did my food challenge @MissionEnforcer but I forgot to take a picture. I made Brussel sprouts and actually ate some. I still don't think I like them at all but I may be forced to eat some more this week because I still have some left and I hate to throw them away. That or I may give the rest of the uncooked ones away to someone at work. We'll see.1 -
food challenge @MissionEnforcer I tried a salmon burger, I have tried salmon in the past and couldn't eat more than the one bite. at the grocery store today they had samples of salmon burger sliders. So I figured this will work, I can get my challenge done. yup not gonna eat that again, still don't like salmon
@lbenson2006 hang in there and thank you so much for being team captain. I hope you will be able to stay with us to the end.
So update on health": went back to the doctor on Friday, still can't get rid of this cough. He said I am still tight and started me on a longer, stronger course of steroids.
I was able to get the foot massage videos done, I didn't get to the kickboxing as I didn't want to over exert and cause more breathing issues. that being said today we went snowshoeing, I was really missing my exercise and it was 54degrees out. it took us 2 hours to do a 4 mile walk. I didn't feel like it was too bad on my breathing, hopefully not1 -
Hello Everyone,
I've been in Cuba all week, and doing my best to get in my exercise minutes, but the heat, the comfortable lounge chairs and the free drinks just kept calling my name. I was however, able to do quite a bit of walking on the beach , as well as the kick boxing and foot massage challenge in my hotel room.
For my food challenge I ate Guava which is a little round fruit, pink on the inside and green on the outside. I wasn't sure if I was suppose to eat the peeling, but I did and it was good - tasted kind of like a pear. I didn't realize we were suppose to take a pic as I was getting information by text as to what the challenges were this week. Hope this is okay.1 -
I didn't complete the food challenge as there is nothing that came to mind readily that would make a list of yucky foods for me. I did however get more exercise in this week due to the nicer weather. I got my teenage daughter to go along on a walk today since I let her walk the dog. Here's hoping for another great week ahead!0

@lbenson2006 Thanks for all the work you put into being our captain & keeping me accountable with the spreadsheets! I hope your work lets up soon, sounds stressful. Glad your staying on as a team member though.
@135terry Your trip to Cuba must be amazing! Glad your able to fit the challenges in. Have fun!1 -

I've spent the last half hour trying to update. I had a crazy day of fitness I hope it makes it to the spreadsheet1

Does anyone else get excited for Mondays because we get our new destination and challenges?3

I will update with pics in a few minutes. Just want to make sure I get this post in before the lock!
@MissionEnforcer
So my brother-in-law brought me a pair of frog legs because he knows I think they're gross. I was assured that these were "sustainably raised and harvested." I felt sorry for the little guy, because the legs were so cute, and I wondered how they killed him, but my husband said it was similar to fish. Don't know if they are full of B.S. or what...
But it's too late now, the legs were there and they had to be eaten.
So anyway...never again. They didn't taste like anything - literally like nothing at all. But the meat was stringy and chewy. No more frogs for me. But at least now I know where I can get protein when I'm stuck in the swamps.

WEEK SIX DESTINATION IS UP AND RUNNING!
DIVERTITI!1 -
@jenilla1 you're the best!!!!!! I didn't want our team to miss out on those minutes!!! 1

Worked out to the beautiful videos of our next destination. 30 minutes done. Water challenge started. I'm not a good water drinker.1

Hey Team. Congrats! We were able to pull up our socks and get out of last place in the gist of time. Back to our regular 4th position LOL. Looking at the table I noticed that we did our best work during week 1 racking up 1200 points. Let's try to get that number again this week. I know we can!
So last week as I mentioned before was not a good week for me. Too many different things happened: valentine's day, birthday, funeral, that caused me to stray from my diet and exercise. This week will hopefully be a better one. My goal is again 700 minutes and completing all the challenges.
Challenge #3 will be easy since I make it a practice to drink 9 cups of water daily (half my body weight). The other 2 challenges will be harder to find the time to do, but I WILL get them done.
@lbenson2006 I'm sorry things are rough with you right now. It will get better, promise.
@murdog3t Thanks for stepping up to the captain role.
@135terry I love guava, and yes, you are to eat the outside as well as the seeds

Happy Monday team 2 . Reminder you must post on the spreadsheets or contact someone on the team if your having problems accessing the spreadsheets. All miles must be posted by Sunday 9pm PST. Mission enforcer promptly closes the sheet. We lost a team member this week Mark. I have not heard from him all week, if we want to pull in to a position greater than 4th it's going to take all of us. The challenges are more important than the actual miles. Like I said before it will be difficult for me to check in more than 2X daily as I get proof connection at work
Please join me in welcoming our newest member @tinacuso please friend her asap ....
Have a great day and let's get moving1 -
