Good evening Team 6, I have luckily drawn you guys as my Team :-D

I hope I come in handy and help on our trip!

Please excuse any idiotic questions I may ask, I have not done a challenge like this before!

Look forward to the journey ahead and excited to get started :-D

Welcome to the team! We are so happy to have you! Don't be afraid to ask as many questions as you'd like, as there is no such thing as a stupid question!

Challenge #1
I had a lovely run along the lock gates.
I jogged 3.4km
There was a strong storm here last week so it was lovely to get a chance to run outside after being confined to the gym!

going on day 3 of no chocolate. That dark cho, molassas and nut bar keeps calling to me. I am catching a flight on Saturday so I plan to take it with me for a treat!

My dad has been in the hospital since Friday so I haven't had the time to walk outside or use my elliptical. He just got moved to rehab. I think all the nurses think I am crazy doing squats and such while I am keeping my dad company. (he is asleep most of the time) Hoping to get in my walk/run on Sunday when I get to Alabama. The weather is about 25-30 degrees higher at my daughter's house. She said we can go walk the Appalachian "foothills" .

So sorry to hear about your dad. Praying for his recovery. And way to get in some exercise in the hospital!

Hello team 6. My name is Lisa and I, too, have been assigned to your team. Last race I was captain for team 3 but had to leave early. I was not ready to fully commit to coming back to the race when it started up again in January. So when Clarice posted that she needed bodies to fill empty spaces, I told her I could help out and maybe redeem myself. I am excited to get back into exercising more and getting back on track.

Welcome, to Sixpack!

@HASWLRS Hi .It's great to have you aboard!

I just completed challenge #2. I did the total body beginner workout video. My shoulder has been sore, so a video that didn't use weights was the right one for me.

Nice job, getting the video job! Sometimes I have to modify some exercises,!

This weekend I'm spending the time with my grandkids. So I need to get all my challenges complete before than. My daughter has a pool so I will have to take my grandson, yay! Plus when him and grandpa watches movies, I might get yoga session in. Go figure, the weather isays, rain, rain, rain, lol

I'm not laughing Jackie but I know exactly how you feel. I have been known to throw "stuff" out to the garbage so it is not in the house!!! GOOD LUCK!

I live in Alaska and my son's 2nd grade teacher did the Iditarod so we went to Anchorage to cheer her on. It really was as fun as all the pictures and video's show.

@Tiffany7711 - that must have been amazing watching the start of the Iditarod - lucky you.

The giving up chocolate is good so far - I think it's the fact that I know I have to do this for the whole of March so therefore not thinking about when I can have some as it's too far away!

@Skipper111 , @ haswlrs Welcome to team 6, Sixpack. I am sure we are lucky to have you and glad you could join us.

Thank you everyone for stepping in and welcoming our new members. Yesterday after work I was hurting pretty bad, so I went home and laid down and rested for about 2 hours. It was a much needed break. Part of me is really frustrated, I feel like I have taken a huge step back. However, I know it is important to take the time to heal right, and take care of myself. I am trying really hard to listen to my body, and not over due it. I had planned on going roller skating tonight after work, I cancelled it. I think it will be too much for me to handle so soon.
On the plus side, I got over an hour of activity in according to my Fitbit. I didn't make my step goal, and I went over on calories. Ugh. I should have no problems with calorie control, but for some reason I do. Today, is a new day.

Hi Team, Sorry I haven't posted my minutes. I do keep track of them, but I just didn't fill in the spreadsheet.

And I got 2 out of 5 of the chocolate challenge done! It's a forbidden fruit thing, the more you can't have it, the more you do want it!!

I agree about the chocate, knowing you can't have it for he more you want it, lol. Today and tomorrow WILL be a test. Today, I turned 56, so tomorrow we're going to our favorite German restaurant. I already told my husband NO NO NO slice of boston cream cake. It's NOT like in my 56 years I haven't had cake on my birthday. Beside, I might eat the WHOLE cake, lol j/k

So far 3/5 no chocolate
