CHALLENGE #1
I chose the 5K FROSTBITE FOOTRACE:
I walked 5K by myself in the dark on hills surrounded by the scent of orange blossoms.
Because my standard walk to the end of the road and back is 2 miles I pulled up Map My Walk and figured where I needed to reverse back and repeat to get just over 3.1 miles.2 -
I entered my challenge 1 points and added up my minutes for the day. 97 minutes. 97, ugh. So I opened up this weeks race post and remained active for the first video, which is 4 minutes long. Broke 100 today!2

Good morning team!! Winter thinks it needed to return to Michigan yesterday, so it's freezing cold and feeling like Alaska. Mother Nature wants to play AR too!
Yesterday rather than feeding my hurting heart with food - and ironically even Tues when I binged, it was all on my healthy food, not crap! - I took my pain out at the Y. I spent 2:45 in the pool doing 2 water aerobics classes and before and after I worked on my arms with the dumbbells. I then went on a 4+ mile easy run in the cold, drizzly wind. When I got home, after lunch I did video 1 - and I will tell you I've never in my life done 20 pushups until yesterday! I really liked that video and saved it to do it again. (Thanks @hawkins410!) After the video, I watched ALL of the videos while hula hooping or working on my ball. I may have been a bit compulsive but it felt good to stay active.
Today, the DOMS have set in and I can barely lift my coffee cup!
Bonus... 3 days without peanut butter and I've decided to stretch it out for the entire period of Lent. I've reached for the jar NUMEROUS times out of habit, but I've returned it each time. I even passed up my favorite natural pb at the store yesterday - it'll wait to be bought until after Easter. Even on sale, and I'm pretty cheap. Winning!2 -
Great way to deal with things @MimiOfTheLusciousLawn. Stay strong.2

So I think I have to re-post Challenge one.
5K frostbite footrace.
Walked a total of 8 miles outdoors this week.
Why, the weather was warm and I was able to walk at lunch. Enjoy fresh air and being outside in Feb/March. I would have preferred to cross country ski -- That seems more like in the spirit of things, but we don't have the snow for it.

Gently headed back to the treadmill today. Slow walk... no incline... didn't work. After about 20 minutes my ankle starting getting sore so I stopped right way.
Switched to a recumbent bike. It worked! I was able to get a decent workout without putting pressure on the ankle. I could only feel after I put the workout level above 15. I can get a great workout at a much lower level.
Swam yesterday... finished that challenge.
Missed the Dr. appointment. It is rescheduled for early next week.
Just keep plugging away.

I just realized I did challenge 1 wrong. I was doing the 2.5K in a pool but realized that it is supposed to be outdoors. A little hard to keep the water liquid outdoors this time of year. I've already done 4.5k of swimming (indoors)
I am switching to the 5k frostbite. Thankfully, I have already completed 3.6k of outdoor walking. Will finish Saturday.

On day 4 (technically 5!) of no pasta/bread/rice, no eating before 15 hours after the previous day and no alcohol. I'm gonna consider the challenge complete if I do no eating before 15 hours are up tomorrow ( so I left behind breakfast!). I've always been a GIVE ME FOOD first thing in the morning person so this is a huge change for me.
And Bailey is a lab-just not lazy!2 -
Hi Everyone,
I completed Challenge # 2 and am now in day 4 of "No Sodas"
; which is tougher than I thought it would be 
.
@Vowder I don't know how you can ever get rid of any of your puppies! Their "Dam" is beautiful as well.
@katharmonic & @TamiJo1004 : It looks like MissionEnforcer is waiting for a re-post of your Challenge #1s (that include the words "Challenge #1")...picky, picky!
Have a Great Day !

@Vowder: Even though it is called the "Frostbite Footrace", the 2.5K can be completed in a pool! So technically, you are done with Challenge #1...you just need to post it correctly so MissionEnforcer will verify it. You know:I just realized I did challenge 1 wrong. I was doing the 2.5K in a pool but realized that it is supposed to be outdoors.
CHALLENGE #1
WHAT YOU DID
WHY YOU CHOSE THAT PARTICULAR "RACE".
I want to come visit all those puppies before they go to their forever homes!
WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Day 3 so far no chocolate but it's getting harder. Came home to a big mess from one of my sled dogs having a tummy ache. Maybe he really didn't want to go to Alaska after all. He is the lazy one. But he could have found a different way to get out of going. It will be a Mira Le if I make it to bedtime without caving!!!0

@Vowder Good decision on switching to the bike! And love the pups!!!
8.5 miles done for the week, with 6 scheduled for tomorrow, and 12 on Sunday. I'll be using Sunday's run for my challenge completion.
Drinking a beer tonight because I'm leaving behind the wine. That still counts right???
I still have yet to update the spreadsheet - will get right on that.4 -
