    Hi All, if anyone has any challenges to post for the week that they missed please do so soon so i can tally everything up and get our weekly points total. hope everyone has a great weigh-in tomorrow!!
    By the way, what time zone is everyone in?? It always seems like I'm the first one checking-in in the mornings. I'm in Eastern Standard.

    I am eastern time as well but I don't usually check in until the evening. Here's my totals for this week:

    Cardio completed Thur, Fri, Sun, Mon, Tues (including the jumping jacks) **4PTS**
    Strength completed - 25 pushups Fri, Sun, Mon, Tues(more some days since started 30 day shred) **4PTS**
    Food Challenge ~ Recipe posted! **1PT**
    Emotional Challenge ~ posted **1PT**
    Sleep challenge ~ 5 days completed (it's summer and the kids are finally sleeping late lol). We only count the challenged 4 days right? So i'm just counting 4 points for all since it was a 4 day per week challenge (lemme know if thats to change) **4PTS**

    If I counted right, 14pts altogether. Will weigh in tomorrow :o

    Cardio Completed - including jumping jacks = 3 PTS
    Strength completed = 3 PTS
    Food Challenge: Recipe = 1 PT
    Emotional Challenge = 1 PT
    Sleep Challenge = 4 PTS

    Hope that helps! It's been a bit of a rough week with not watching my eating at all and not getting in as much exercise as I'd like to. I'm going to make next week a better one. I feel like I've been PMSing for a week! But no TOM yet! Just really moody/*****y and eating like crazy!

    Ah before I forget a better recipe lol since I was out of time before, I know its to late but thought Id share anyhoo.

    Chicken Quesadilla and Watermelon Salad


    Ingredients

    1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic

    2. Arrange half of mushroom mixture over half of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 cup arugula, and 1/4 cup cheese; fold tortillas in half.
    3. Wipe pan clean with a paper towel. Heat pan over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add tortillas to pan. Place a heavy skillet on top of tortillas; cook 2 minutes on each side or until crisp.

    Hi Ladies,

    We are going to add a new rule to this challenge:
    If a member does not log in or comment on your team thread for more than 3 days, they will be replaced. Part of the journey of losing weight is having support. If a team member is going out of town or need a few personnal days please let your captain know and this will not apply to you. Everyone must weigh in on Wednesdays, if you are unable to on Wednesday please post your weight along with your points on Tuesday.

    *Team Captains-please msg the person that is not logging in and let them know, give them a chance to respond if they do not they will be disqualified.

    Please post this on your Team thread.

    We can motivate ourselves and each other to post at least every third day!! I don't want to lose anyone from our team so lets pull together on this!

    WTG Young9!!! Awesome loss! :)

    Momof2gurls ~ I had no loss last week. But lost this week. As long as there's no gain, that's a victory! :)

    Okay ... I did not get in all my cardio yesterday!! ACK!! I'm over here trying to clear out clutter and organize my house. All this exercise has given me more energy to do stuff that I just did not feel like doing before. Yay! (I think! LOL!) Gonna get it all in today! So, yesterday was my "off" day. I did do my 30DS ... so I was not a total slacker! LOL!

    Have a great day Y'all! :-)

    OK...maybe I'm totally out of the loop or something. So please help me! lol! What are the new challenges for this week, and where can I find the post for them?

    Secondly, how do I save the new thread for the main page of SAHMU? I found the link, but don't know how to save it to make it easier to find every time I log on here.

    Thanks for your help, ladies! And a HUGE HUG for winning the weightloss challenge this week! Even though I didn't contribute to that loss, I'm still excited that it was our team!

    I may not have posted it, sorry! I have had brain fog the last two days, don't know what's up with that?? I'm usually on top of things. Anywho here it is, and just let me add...I HATE LUNGES!!!!!:mad: :grumble: :noway: :sad: :sick: :frown:

    Morning All! My lunges are done!:drinker: If I get nothing else done today, I did those dreaded lunges!
  • circusmom
    circusmom Posts: 662 Member
    So how is everyone doing with this weeks challenges? The only one I have a problem with is the lunges, I hate lunges!!!:sad:
    Here is part of my team challenge: Today I will talk about Redheadhen: First off, kids, cats, dogs, and chickens, Lady my hat is off to you!! I won't even let the kids get a hamster. That's just one more thing that will depend on me and I have enough dependents!! Although, it must be nice to have fresh eggs everyday!!! and I can relate to having a hubby that can eat and not gain, it's hard to see them enjoying Oreo's and not have a few with them. Ugh!

My goal is to weigh less then mine and I'm not there yet! :blushing: Wow! 4 kids! I'm insane with just 2! And yes, I agree about keeping weight in check to keep the body healthy. I don't want to have health issues either due to weight.


    Fresh eggs are nice! And the Rooster crowing in the morning is kinda fun! LOL!

    I'm out of here for the evening too! I will check in again tomorrow! :) Happy Friday Night Y'all!

    So, you stayed the same last weight, it's better than gaining! That just means you will probably get a higher loss later, then it will be twice as exciting!!!
