    I had eggs and feta for breakfast and was totally prepared to go vegetarian the rest of the day, but remembered I had a fresh piece of salmon in the fridge and there was no way I was letting it go to waste. So I had fish today, too. I am trying to be as purist and diesel as I can about this challenge since I already eat pretty clean. My overall personal challenge is to stay paleo/primal for the month. Let's take a vote....is salmon meat in regards to today's challenge? If so, I'm a 2 for today.

    9/5 (Not sure if I completed daily challenge in a pure sense), weekly, and monthly challenges completed
    Hmmm....good question. I guess its relative to you and your normal eating habits. Do you always have a fish, poultry of beef every day?
    Of course my vote is to enjoy it!

    FROM TANK GIRL---

    I had eggs and feta for breakfast and was totally prepared to go vegetarian the rest of the day, but remembered I had a fresh piece of salmon in the fridge and there was no way I was letting it go to waste. So I had fish today, too. I am trying to be as purist and diesel as I can about this challenge since I already eat pretty clean. My overall personal challenge is to stay paleo/primal for the month. Let's take a vote....is salmon meat in regards to today's challenge? If so, I'm a 2 for today.

    whatever is relative to your norm...i eat fish regularly...i will not today. if you eat steak, chicken, hamburger, turkey regularly, maybe it is good that you "changed" to fish only. don't let a good expensive piece of salmon go to waste! even for this! of course you could always freeze or eat the next day, as for whether it counts or not, you be the judge since many people believe fish is a "clean animal" meat. even in the bible in the old testament, it was allowed but the "hooved" animals were not allowed when God told Moses in the mass exodus. But if you are not religious, you could also still consider fish a clean protein meat since it is easier to digest than dense steak protein for example. the protein structure is different. Also fish has better fat source (omega 3 in salmon and tuna)...so these are all things to pat yourself on the back for choosing this type of protein...this is just my opinion.

    Everyone should think in terms of relativity in this challenge since we are all trying to CHALLENGE ourselves...do better for ourselves, do what we can, not what we cannot.

    LOLING! hahahah

    For those who find it hard to avoid the meat...VEGETABLE STEWS and veggie or bean chilli's are good replacements! Plus you get the protein you need from the beans! I'm gonna try that next time :)

    ATTENTION - TEAM WEAPONS OF MASS REDUCTION
    What a team! We had 12 people on the team fully participate last week hich is awesome! And you are all really good about posting your progress on this board which makes my life so much easier! Thank you.

    A few clarifying points from last weeks progress:

    1 - I am tracking the individual and the team points by reviewing the posts and the spreadsheet. When there are discrepancies I am taking the better result.

    2 - Our weeks got a bit screwed up because the month started on a Thursday but our weeks are Monday - Sunday. I will post the next weeks Daily and Monthly challenges on Saturday or Sunday at the latest!

    3 - Our Team Roster is as follows:

    OSUalum
    NCGatorFan
    HopeBuck
    Pam3
    BeilaLin
    TankGirl71
    Lisaab150
    Choirgirl37
    flipipino_wardog
    rwd5046
    Topsking2010
    xonashwaox
    RalphCurt (Captain)

    If you are participating and your name is not listed above, please contact me ASAP. I will be removing all other names of people who signed up but have not been participating tomorrow.

    4 - Please send me your weights as of yesterday so we can tally lost weight points. !!

    5 - Congratulations to OSUalum, NCGatorFan, HopeBuck, BeilaLin, TankGirl71 and Topsking2010 - All of them had a perfect week last week! If you think you did but I missed it please let me know.

    6 - For purposes of this team, for the purposes of this challenge there are a few definitions I would like to clarify:

    a. "Meatless" simply means no eating anything that had a face. Thus fish is not allowed but eggs are fine.
    b. "Processed" foods simply means anything that has been altered from its natural state. If it was just handled by a mixer (like all natural yogurts) or wrapper, it is fine. But if is not as it was when it was ripe, it cannot be eaten on these days. And it is OK to trust the label. If it says "all natural" it is fine for this challenges purposes.

    Please let me know if you have any questions! PM'ing me is best.

    OK, GO WEAPONS OF MASS REDUCTION, we are doing really well!

    ...our weeks are Monday - Sunday. ...

    ....5 - Congratulations to OSUalum, NCGatorFan, HopeBuck, BeilaLin, TankGirl71 and Topsking2010 - All of them had a perfect week last week! If you think you did but I missed it please let me know.

    ...

    I UPDATED THE SPREADSHEET to match the clarifications above...

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au4IAEZ94WeKdGk0QlljSC1aQjlFVWpfd0hBX3VMV3c&hl=en_US&pli=1#gid=0


    Maylan is on the team, as she is putting her info on the spreadsheet.

    The weeks start on Mondays, end on Sundays, so look at how this changed the last week's "total points" column. Sorry if this messed you up if you had a perfect week, with the exception of sunday. Last Sunday (9/4/11) is now a part of week 1.

    Topsking2010 and TankGirl still made a PERFECT week 1 with every challenge completed! CONGRATS!

    Hope all is okay with this challenge regardless of the changes. We can make every day count with 3 ways to earn points! Who cares if you messed up one day. The next day we can redeem ourselves to earn 3!!!

    :) REMEMBER TO HIT THE "SAVE NOW" button or "FILE SAVE" or "Control+S" in the spreadsheet if your info doesn't record.
