Congrats on our Alaskan win! Way to go sled dogs!
Yay to Jamaica! I haven't been but would love to. I want to do ALL of those adventures in the challenge thread pictures and videos. So amazing.
This weeks challenges look very do-able. A little dancing, a little stretching, and some eating! I'm in. Not sure what to try but a lot of the recipes on the spice link look great. I already have a chicken recipe on the menu for this week that has ginger in it, and I may try something else as well.

BUMMER - I could totally do that challenge!5 -
@hawkins410-I'm traveling so no cooking for me. Can I order something in a restaurant with one of those spices?0

Congrats Team, We pulled it out again! Looks like a short leg this week, so we'll need a lot of minutes to crank out the bonus points!
Hopefully everyone is starting to feel better!

Ya mon - I love Jamaica! Been there 3 times including my honeymoon and climbed Duns River Falls every time. It was better the first two times-it's become so commercialized now. Had goat dogs too (not an experience I want to repeat although the goat stew was ....interesting). I will get lots of minutes hiking but won't get to the videos until we get to the hotel in Scottsdale and I have privacy! Ok, off to hike now. Ttyl!1

@mswanger09 spice RUB or spice RUM
@120maggie, you should know better!! Do you really think that the rum would have survived this long?!?!?!?!?
@hawkins410, RUB!!!!! (I know better. You have previously scolded me for attempting to bring alcohol into the challenges.
) 5 -
Love this week! From COLD to HOT.
Good exercises. Good location. Good fun.
Went to the DR. today. Guess what. A real surprise. Don't strain it further, do some exercises/stretches until it heals. Definitely a tendon issue. Good thing I can still master the exercises here (with just a little accommodation).
First puppies go to their permanent home on Friday. Most gone by Sunday.

Challenge 3
Thyme: It was time to try thyme!
I put thyme in my riced cauliflower, roasted chicken, and spinach dish. I used thyme because I had it in the pantry. It was very aromatic and made my dish taste greener. I also realized that I don't really like thyme.5 -
So instead of cooking with a spice is it ok to bake something with a spice in it?? Surprises ganja isn't on the spice list. It's very popular there. Hahahaa no im not baking brownies with ganja in it. I was going to look for my Lemon Thyme bread recipe
@hawkins410 is this legal?
Mr. Arthur Itis is making an unexpected visit today. Always shows up when it's damp and foggy and gonna rain. So I think I'm taking it easy today and maybe do Challenge 3 if I can find my recipe.
No worries mon I'll be back tomorrow when this weather front moves on.0 -

Challenge #3
Ginger - I made cauliflower vegetable with fresh ginger in it. In all my Indian cooking I usually put garlic and ginger to bring out the ethnic flavor and spices of Indian food
I wouldn't eat raw however in India and here at indian grocery storestore you do get dried ginger if you chose to eat as it has many health benefits. I have tried it but not something I am a big fan off. So I think I will use ginger in my recipe that is what I can handle.

challenge #3
Ginger - I made a stir fry (sort of). I discovered I didn't have what I needed to make my original Monday dinner plan, so I had to improvise. It seemed like a good time to just get this challenge done. I had some already cooked turkey breast left in the refrigerator as well as lots of veggies. So I did a quick stir fry of the veggies, sliced and added the turkey, then made a "sauce' with soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. It tasted pretty good (though maybe a tad on the sweet side) and was easy to improvise with ingredients I already had in the house. I'm sure if I had and followed an actual recipe it might have tasted better, but.....well it was all about quick and easy 6 -
What????? How about a pan seared chicken breast, deglazed with some captain morgan and grilled pineapple??? Sounds healthy to me!hawkins410 wrote: »

achilles tendinitis????
I had a successful run today
I had taken the day off from work to go to my nephew's IEP meeting. The run was great to help clear my head and de-stress afterwards. And now there is wine! 1 -
Great job to those of you who are right on the food challenge!
@GSXRGIRL61 - yours sounded so promising until I got to the part where you don't like thyme. It can be overwhelming but I'm a fan in the right dishes.
@mts7471 that cauliflower with ginger dish sounds good. I love Indian food.
@ka97 your stir fry also sounds good. I'm always impressed with people who are able to improvise and actually have stuff on hand to do it. Also, awesome job on your run today. I can't remember if you've told me if you are training for something specific? I just signed up for a fall half marathon and I want to do a couple things before that but haven't decided yet.
I had a great run group workout tonight and got some great comments from one of the coaches on how much my running has improved. I'm feeling really good about it. I will never be a fast runner but getting incrementally faster and stronger makes me happy.
With two decent walks with Stella today, I was up to 153 minutes. I will try to max out minutes this week after not being able to last week.
Great job team!
