I started the 10.49 mile challenge. So today my dog, Fenris and I walked two miles outside. I am happy to see that it can be worked on indoors since tomorrow the weather looks very rainy. I set a goal of two miles a day for five days. After doing that, I went to my normal water running class at the Y this evening. Wow, I am exhausted. I am trying to do my part to get our minutes up for that week. I would love to see us make it into third place for the overall race this week! Let's go team 2!!2

I wasn't able to stomach
the idea of losing my beloved chocolate or my favorite food, cheese, for a week, so I decided to eliminate my artificially-sweetened, fruit-flavored beverages instead. I always have one with dinner and it's like a special treat for me. I will drink unsweetened green tea instead. 1 -
LOL @ the 3rd dog-sledding video. Watching that guy repeatedly crash, hollering, "HO! Ho, ho, ho, ho! Stay! Ho, ho, ho, HOOOOOOO..." while his dogs try to mush on without him was quite entertaining. I never realized they went into such rough areas on those things. I've always just seen them on the flat, snowy, smooth trails. Reminded me a little of watching mountain biking videos - only at least with mountain biking, your bike doesn't go on without you when you crash.

Good morning team, so after a very stressful day yesterday I plan to let go of the the negative today and focus on the good. I was able to walk at lunch and did 2 miles. Today I plan to kill time at the gym prior to my group starting on the treadmill to walk away some mileage. I am also glad the 10.49 can be done in or out but I will try to do as many out as possible
Cinder, it looks like you are on the mend so happy to hear
Oh yang and I plan to give up chocolate for 5 days

Good for you Laura!! It's so easy to be in a bad mood, but I'm starting to realize that a lot of it has to do with our own attitude. We can't control all these outside factors and all we can do is try to handle it in the best way we can for ourselves. Life's too short to be miserable, so I'm choosing to be happy!! Today is going to be a good day!!

Got challenge #2 out of the way so that I can start tackling challenge 1 when I can. I'm going to try to make time for a walk outside at lunch if the bad weather will stay away.1

Challenge 1 - I chose the 5k frostbite footrace which I completed on Monday. I chose this option as I prefer to be outside when weather permits. I chose to walk, rather than run, as the seasonal road I live on is icy in some areas and I'm not a great runner to begin with. I hope to get a lot more min/klm in this week, but wanted to make sure I had this challenge posted as I am going out of the country on Wednesday and although internet access should be available, I didn't want to take any chances.
[/Challenge 2b] - I chose option 2 - total body workout which I completed this morning.
[/Challenge 3b] - I plan to give up chocolate. Hopefully I will be able to provide an update on Friday.
Hope everyone has a good week.2 -
Good Morning team! I'm Kasi and I was just added to your group! I live in Salem Oregon. I have 4 kids and a grandbaby on the way in June. I've done a couple of the Amazing Race challenges and a bazillion other challenges over my many years here on MFP! I'm currently planning a massive baby shower for the end of March and a family trip to Hawaii at the beginning of April. Please bare with me if I don't check in as often as some of you. Rest assured I'm over here working hard to shed that weight to look presentable at least in my summer clothes ;-)6

Hi Kasi, and welcome!
For Challenge #3, I've decided to give up creamer/milk in my coffee. I used to drink it straight but then I found International Delight creamer, lol! Back to basics for me!1 -
Welcome back to the team Kasi!!5

We're in need of back-up players for the Wait-List. If you know of anyone who might be interested in trying out the race over the last few weeks, please refer them to the sign-up sheet, which is found on the Main Group page under "Announcements".

This week I plan to give my soda. I have fallen back into the bad habit of having a Coke almost every night instead of just every once in a while. Maybe this week if I skip having it I can I get back to not needing it every day.2

I'm giving up my favorite calorie laden drinks this week...no latte's...love my daily latte.2

CHALLENGE #1
I selected the 10.49 MILE IDITAROD and I completed all the mileage outdoors in two different segments.
I'm in Miami for a few days this week and I'm taking advantage of the warm weather, sunshine, the beautiful boardwalk and the people watching. I have been getting up early and run/walking before my conference begins each day.
I head back to Colorado tomorrow night and I'll work on challenge #2 when I get home.

CHALLENGE #1
I completed the 10.49 MILE IDITAROD and I completed half of it outdoors and half of it indoors.
I skiied outdoors today because I ski every Tuesday, I also went for a 4 mile walk outside because it was 60 degrees here and sunny and last night I completed 2.5 miles on the elliptical last night in the gym.2 -
I am giving up putting sugar in my coffee and tea. Two days completed and this is hard.1

Welcome back to the team Kasi
I was able to walk a mile on the treadmill prior to my Grind class at the gym. OMG i wont be able to walk tomorrow but it was a great class and I look forward to Thursday night
Question: when I do a heavy HIIT exercise program my calves always want cramp. I am hydrating. I don't get it. I am afraid that I will have a cramp in my sleep tonight as that has happened also after a big cardio session. Also I do stretching regularly.

@llmg970 Whenever I start having leg cramps I up my calcium intake- the easiest way I can- Tums or Rolaids. Seems to take care of the problem.2

Just finished doing the chair workout video. That video has been the best for my rehabilitation. My range of motion is getting there. I can feel the swelling on my backside and it suddenly occurred to me that I had just checked And recorded my measurements a couple of days before the fall- so I checked my waist measurement today ---- 2" of swelling! Now I know I'm not trying any jeans for a few more days - Happy to keep wearing the stretch pants.2

@llmg970 Cramps can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include dehydration, strenuous exercise, or lack of muscle use
Self-treatment
Stretching and massaging the muscle may help it relax. Applying heat or cold to the area may also help.
Standing on a hard surface and stretching
Not having enough potassium, calcium, or magnesium in your diet could be a cause1 -
JUST A REMINDER: WEIGHT TRACKER LEADER SHEET WILL UPDATE TOMORROW EVENING!0
