Hello TEAM!!!

There are NO MORE PASSES!! If even ONE of us does not complete a challenge - the team does not get the bonus points!

ALL reporting will take place in here. Please try and post daily recaps for me here. At least for the daily challenges. It helps tremendously, since the posts do not always include the challenge.

Here are the challenges! WE CAN DO THIS!!

This is the week two team challenge. These challenges should be done in addition to your normal workout routine. This is a challenge and is not a replacement! If you need a beginner workout please contact your team captain for ideas.

Week Two Daily Exercise Challenge - Remember, if one person misses a day, NO bonus points for the TEAM.

Daily Exercise = 1 point per member per day. If everyone does it you will be awarded a 5 point bonus for the team!

Week Two Weekly Team Challenge

Each team must coordinate a 100 mile walk, run, jog outside of their normal running jogging. You will to volunteer how much you can walk. If the team does accomplish the 100 mile challenge they will be rewarded with 5 bonus point. In addition to the 100 mile walk each team member must submit their favorite recipe to the group forum, along with the nutritional value. If someone submits your favorite you must find another recipe to submit.

*Feel free to do these exercises in sets if you are unable to do them all at one time. Please do your best as you are much stronger than you believe.

Please note each week the exercises will increase in difficulty. This will push each team member.

Modifications will be provided for those who unable to complete the exercise as intended.

    So since there's 20 of us ( I think?)
    We should all donate 5 miles for the week?

    I could probably donate 3 miles every morning for 5 days, which will put me at donating 15 miles not from my regular workouts.

    It is quite possible we are down to 17. I think we've lost 3 people so far :noway: which kinda stinks. But, since we are scoring by percentages now, it's okay. If we share evenly, it's around 5.5 miles per person. Which is less than a mile extra a day if you're doing it 6 days a week. We can figure it out in the new forum, since it's for week 2. I'm going to post this there as well.

    Made these the other night for partner's family roast. Went down a hit!


    Mix very heaped 2 tbsp of nutella with 2 very heaped tbsp of butter in a saucepan. Watch or it will burn. Mix in also 1 tbsp of cinnamon. Mix in mixed berries to sauce mixture. Turn on oven to 180C.

    While this is mixing, get some filo pastry (or puff pastry if you want it to look nicer and not as messy). Apparently you have to defrost this overnight first. Oops. So, get about 4 sheets. (mine was a box of 20). Rip in 1/2. Rip in 1/2 again. Put on sprayed oven tray one at a time (so you don't overload).

    Put seived berry mix on a corner of the pastry and fold over and over. Must seive or it will leak through.

    Do this till run out of filo. I made about 12, but I used some pastry to re-wrap others. Looks messy as, but the family in-law didn't care. Use left over sauce as serving sauce. Serve with ice cream!

    Per pastry works out to be about:

    140 cals
    25 on carbs
    4 on fat
    0 on protein
    10 on potassium
    5 on sugar

    per pastry plus about a tbsp of sauce to cover with

    Am I missing anything?

    I'm think for the recaps, just go ahead and let me know if you did the daily challenge, and how many extra miles you did for the day for the 100 miles for the team. I do care about the calories and water intake as some people have their diaries set as private. So unless I'm told about the water intake, I do not know how many ounces they drank for the day.

    As I said, I can contribute 10 miles a week. I will note down extra mileage here.

    So yesterday I did an extra 1.5 miles. Today, an extra .5 so far. I'll get onto my exercise challenge for the evening too.
