Best wishes in your new home & for half-marathon Nicci!

Rome wasn't built in a day! I'll be hoping to have spreadsheet updated later this evening... Second last week? It sure did fly! Our active members are diminishing, but hey.. let's finish what we started.

Best wishes for your upcoming half, Nicci. Tapering is important part of it too!

Spreadsheet is ready for journey to India. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J3COIkKWYIJgSADCtJaPRFDtlgpieUVKiy73rJv9rPI/edit#gid=1441192653

Thanks for the update, Lynn..... Ommmmm

@headrain @mallowbar. So, I'm wondering is the marathon walk / run challenge for 25 points an all-or-nothing? Many team members have 20+ but short of 26.

Yes, you're right. A number is just a number! That lovely feeling of being aware of the benefits of improved lifestyle is far more important.

We are going to make it to Kiev this week. I can feel it in my bones!

I can't help laughing. Sorry!

Totally appreciate all that, @Headrain. Yes, there's always a reason. People who are MIA are not deliberately doing it just to pee us off. Yes, 26 is a marathon journey... Its a pity there's not points for partial completion. When in a slump, reach out! That's what you did. Here's a virtual helping hand. If there's…

26 miles this week? well, sofar i'm pleased. My usual daily 2 mile walk yesterday and today; and running session with my club this evening 4 miles approx, so I figure I'm at 8. only 18 to go. i'll be biking tomorrow, but that won't count, unfortunately! who else noticed that our score last week was our BEST so far. We…

i'll second that!!! yaaayyyy.

I am generally (most days) accountable for: 1. Logging my food accurately 2. Logging my exercise accurately (i always do this anyway) 3. taking responsibility for updating the spreadsheet team section from week to week Still on my agenda for weeks ahead: 1. drink more water every day. I'm way behind where i should be 2.…

@Headrain and other REGULAR contributors: Rather than leaving it all to you Headrain to contact those who are not contributing, would it be possible for each of the 7 of us who are on here regularly to private message one person on the team? There are several reasons why they may be missing.... 1. lack of interest 2. too…

Much more manageable this week, Nicci.

I'm a glass-half-full person. So, guess what's the good news from last week. Yes, i know we missed out on completing the massive miles to Egypt (15 points plus some possible bonus pts), but on the positive side, more of us gained LOTS and LOTS of points EACH by doing the belly dancing videos & other challenges. so, let's…

Ok, folks..... (all seven of us!) It's there. Off to Kiev we go!. Can I suggest a challenge just among our seven selves? I challenge EVERYONE here including myself to run / walk 26 miles this week. I know I'm going to find this a toughie. So, I'll be needing some help along the way. I was very lazy today. i'd planned a…

Kiev? Let me get updating the sheet! Never really wanted to go to Kiev, but that's neither here nor there.

Not posted yet, it seems. Perhaps somewhere exotic, Lynn?

I think it's actually NORMAL for levels of discussion / reporting to decline among groups. i've seen it in the past..... we've got busy lives! i wonder how is it possible to change normal to increase accountability? Just thinking out loud...

i'm here! You're not abandoned! I've had a lazy week after my 3 weeks of gardening. some silly food choices too....

Week 4 ready on spreadsheet now. Just go do it, friends!

Nutritional challenge 10 pts 1 - Make a list of your favorite healthy foods. 2 - Once you’ve identified what foods you love the most, you can then determine what it is about those foods you love so much. Perhaps its a particular seasoning, the texture, the color, or even the smell. 3 - Once you identify why you love it,…

We'll done, Lynn. I'm doing a 25 mins core 3 times a week, and part of it is squat. I HATE it! However, I know how good it is, and I'm going to stick with (hating) it. Re: spreadsheet... The rows do total correctly provided that the entry is a NUMBER. Have a look and you'll see I converted your daily data to a number. Hope…

You are my kind of eater, Steve. Good healthy fare, yet too high in carbs. Extra protein would very good for me.

I wonder where we're off to this week?

Weather for Sunday is looking pretty crap, so our group got out today for 3h. Lots of hills, plenty wind and a decent 80k workout. Bonus points : finished the garden with 2 easy hours tidying up. Happy Easter everyone.

Just thinking out loud, team colleagues.... Do we want to WIN this or simply participate? The KEY is the huge bonus points per person to be earned by doing the ROADBLOCK #1 challenge. I missed out on the irish dancing last week, but will commit to EASTER EGG VIDEO this week (25 points). Imagine if EVERYONE on the team were…

UPDATE: I think I've got the extra miles bonus points sorted. Perhaps you might check it Lorna.. also, update #2. Egg recipe ..... French Toast: wholemeal bread. 3 eggs whipped. add a little milk. Some butter in pan, heated. Dip bread in egg mix, and place in pan, turning when golden. Enjoy with tomatoes & avocado. Posted…
