First off I must confess to the team that I did not hit my calorie count! I feel really bad about it and want to apologize but I was still good when I could have been really bad which I was proud of!!! You can read about it on my blog if you want - http://honestyismydiet.blogspot.com/
My goal this week is to be 100% on everything! My parents are coming into town on Thursday night and staying through the weekend so that will be a difficult goal but I am up for the challenge.
This week with the extra team challenge we need to figure out who is walking what so we can achieve our 100 miles! If every person does 5 miles (20 people) we can get there. I know there are already 2 people that said they will walk 10 miles which is AWESOME! This week is going to be a CRAZY one for me for many reasons. Because of that I am pledging an extra 5 miles. I figure if I walk a mile after dinner 5 days this week then I can achieve this!
Everyone put what they are pledging too so we can guarentte 100 miles!!!!!!!!

I can pledge to do my 5 miles. Running is still something I'm not very good at, so between the extra miles in the challenge and these 5 miles, I'll have my work cut out for me.
Lorie, could you please repost what the challenges for this week are in this topic?
You guys rock! Way to go!

We can do these challenges on any day right? Because there is no way I can do 50 globe jumps plus the other two exercises in one day. Not just about my body, but time too. So we were gonna do like 10 a day until day 5. Is that cool?0

Sorry for my math shortcomings!!! In the middle of an 8th straight day of work (only two more to go...), so the brain's not quite right at this point. As a peace offering, here is my recipe contribution. It's a little different, but I love it!
Turkey Kibbeh
6 servings
Kibbeh
1/2 cup bulgur
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (see Tip)
1 1/2 pounds 93%-lean ground turkey
1 medium zucchini, finely shredded
2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Yogurt sauce
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, seeded and diced
1 small tomato, diced
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 450° F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking dish with cooking spray. Place bulgur in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in pine nuts. Drain the bulgur, pressing on it to remove any liquid. Transfer to a large bowl and add turkey, zucchini, marjoram, cumin, salt, allspice and cayenne. Gently mix until combined. Pat half the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the onion mixture, pressing it gently into the turkey layer. Cover with the rest of the turkey mixture, pressing gently into the onion layer. Cover with foil. Bake the kibbeh for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165° F, 10 to 15 minutes more. To prepare yogurt sauce & serve: While the kibbeh is baking, combine yogurt, cucumber, tomato and pepper in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Cut the kibbeh into 6 squares and serve warm with the yogurt sauce.

My recipe! I'm not sure it's my FAVE, but it's something that's relatively healthy, and gives flavour to just plain-old chicken!
BAKED HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes
Ready In: 1 Hour
Servings: 6
INGREDIENTS:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste, and place in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the honey, mustard, basil, paprika, and parsley. Mix well. Pour 1/2 of this mixture over the chicken, and brush to cover.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over and brush with the remaining 1/2 of the honey mustard mixture. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

That is one of my favourites even when i don't make it as often but it's delish it's from the website eat shrink and be merry lol you gotta try it even when you don't like salmon!!
Heart-Smart Salmon Burgers
1-1/2 lbs (680 g) boneless, skinless salmon fillet, cut into chunks
1 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs (see tip below)
1/2 cup crumbled light feta cheese (2 oz)
1/4 cup finely minced shallots or red onions
1 tbsp honey mustard
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 egg
1 tbsp minced fresh dill
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place salmon chunks in a food processor. Pulse on and off until salmon is chopped into very small pieces. (If you don’t have a food processor, use a very sharp knife and mince the salmon by hand.) Transfer salmon to a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well using your hands.
Form mixture into 6 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Place patties on a large plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. (Chilling will help the patties hold their shape while cooking.)
Spray a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until salmon is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the patties, and be gentle when flipping them so they don’t fall apart. If you don’t have a high-quality (unscratched!) non-stick pan, you might want to cook the patties in a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
If desired, serve patties on small, whole wheat hamburger buns with sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and honey mustard, or top them with a spoon of low-fat tartar sauce (see recipe below) and serve with a salad.
Makes 6 servingsPer serving: 236 calories, 10.4 g total fat (2.8 g saturated fat), 26 g protein, 9 g carbohydrate, 1.1 g fiber, 106 mg cholesterol, 333 mg sodium
Cooking TipsFresh bread crumbs are simple to make: Just break up a slice of bread (preferably whole wheat) into several smaller pieces and place in a food processor or mini chopper. Pulse on and off a few times to create fluffy soft crumbs. An average slice of bread will make about 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs. Dry, store-bought bread crumbs are more compact (and drier, of course!), so if a recipe calls for fresh crumbs and you’d rather use dry, cut the amount in half. To make low-fat tartar sauce for this and other yummy fish dishes, mix together 1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 1 tbsp minced fresh dill, 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish, and 2 tsp each prepared horseradish and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to use.0 -
