Thank you for the Birthday wishes! It was fabulous!
GO TEAM! :bigsmile:0 -
Diary complete and under calorie goal
8 glasses of water and counting
Swimmers presses done
Ran 4.1 miles today, took me 51 minutes. I usually run for at least 30 minutes, and sometimes push for 3 miles. So that's definitely an extra mile+.
So, 4.1 miles towards my goal of 25 miles... added to the 3.8 from yesterday. Means I am at 7.9 miles. 17.1 miles left to go. Haven't been able to walk at work, it has been pouring rain outside. It's making this goal particularly challenging... LOL.
SaraRuth you are rocking the miles!! Way to go sista!!0 -
for TUE:
water - 9 glasses
just over calories (by less than 100 ) - sorry
no exercise, no presses (yet) - i will try to double up tonight!
25 qts peach pie and 8 qts blueberry pie filling canned!!!
(i wasnt 'slouching' - lol)
Noticed that you said you went over your calories, but hadn't worked out yet? Well I imagine that your canning (that is really hard work that you don't do everyday) could be added as food preparation exercise or cleaning, light moderate or vigorous effort, and so probably you were under your calories with the added exercises!
Wowee woo on the peach and blueberry fillings!
My husband would absolutely love having some homemade goodies around the house!! He has been making fresh fruit smoothies for him and I and has been trying to be careful with what he eats too. But he could use some good old fashioned "mom's recipe" pampering once in awhile! He is our baker, and chef! I definitely do not have these gifts!
Way to go on your full day!0 -
TYVM song - you were right!! NOW I AM UNDER CALORIE GOAL!! 6+ hours REALLY should county for something!!
I have a question: where do you'all keep this group to log in?
I mean - i have it saved - then copy and paste to get here (but that of course after i've logged in, so i have to do it in another window) - is there a 'group' that i can add to my something?? lol (i sure hope s/1 understands what i am trying to say.

Hi all,
I'm sorry I've been MIA this week. I was rear- ended getting onto the highway the other day and I am fine, but pretty sore. I am back to logging calories, but I haven't worked out in 3 days. I'm so sorry to be messing up the August challenge for all of you- I will post my favorite recipe tonight- keep working hard, everyone!
Best,
Deidre0 -
Here's my recipe:
Lighter Banana Muffins- yield 12 muffins
4 medium bananas, mashed
1/2 cup splenda
1 egg
2 TBSP margarine
3 TBSP unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
Mash the bananas and combine with sugar and egg. Melt margarine and add it to the banana mixture, along with the applesauce. Sift together dry ingredients and stir into the banana mixture. Bake at 350 15-20 minutes. They won't brown because of the splenda, but will spring back when you touch them, when they are finished baking. 113 calories per muffin.0 -

Most important thing is that you are OK! I hope you heal quickly!0 -
I was really angry and upset earlier (family issues), so I went to the gym and took it out on the poor machines. This meant that there are 3 more miles for our 100 mile challenge (on the bike), I did the extra mile for whatever day this week and finished the extra mile from yesterday that I couldn't finish due to rain. I also did my regular workout, ab crunches and the mountain climbers. (I kinda liked those!) And I am up to 10 cups of water so far today and I am sure I will be under my calorie goal for the day.
Now I am just exhausted! (Still not happy, but what are you going to do with family!)0 -
Please clarify stair climbs. How many steps, etc?0
-
Under calories - 12 glasses of water and counting - mountain climbers done - crunches done.
Added another 4.1 miles to my total today. 2 miles of walking at work, and 2.1 miles of running just now. That puts me at exactly 12 miles. Another 2 miles and you can start counting everything above 14 towards the group 100 mile goal.
Also, scheduled a weekend bike ride with a friend on Sunday morning. If you can let me know where we are at for the 100 miles on Saturday evening? If we are short, I will try and make up as much as I can on my bike on Sunday. 0 -

40 Jumping Jacks CHECK... make up the rest tomorrow!
2 Miles Biking CHECK
Water CHECK
Under Calories CHECK0 -
Under calories, 14 glasses of water.
21's done - Will feel those tomorrow
Jumping Jacks done
Two one-mile walks at work today, which puts me at exactly 14 miles of walking/running. That's my normal weekly average, so anything after that counts towards the team 100 mile goal.
Also, I biked an extra 10.5 miles today. Rode to work and home (which doesn't count because it's normal for me), and then rode an additional 10.5 miles with a friend. If we're short on miles, you can use those. Still going out on the bike on Sunday, and we just made plans to go out on Saturday morning as well.0 -
Drank all my water, did 5 sets of 21's and climbed 150 stairs. My sister, who is recovering from surgery and can't lift more than 5 lbs, lives on the second floor (15 stairs). She needed me to take her shopping and then bring the groceries into her house so 10 times I went up and down the stairs. I was also under my calorie goal for the day.0
