Day 3 of no sweets. My husband keeps talking about what dessert he wants. Today was our"nonaversary" so I let him live. :D

@mari_moulin I completely understand. I have been wanting some sort of baked good all day! I've managed to not have any, but it's rough.

Challenge 2 Fitness blender done! I actually almost did a push-up. :D

CHALLENGE #1 - I choose the frostbite footrace. I walked over 5k yesterday because it was a nice morning and I wanted to check out the new roads in our development. After the gym today though I completed the Iditarod. Managed that one with a mixture of walking and elliptical. :smile:

Hey Smashers, I worked my butt off at the rec center this morning. I've already done challenge one and I'll post all that later when I'm on my computer. I'm giving up chocolate/sweets this week. I needed this challenge. I've been really bad about sweet snacks the last few weeks. A day and a half done. I don't remember who…

Team 1 got us again. :s On the plus side, we got all the challenge points this week!

@ddeliciosa I got it in for you. :)

I've completed all the challenges and maxed out but I haven't put it on the spreadsheet yet. I will get it done before the deadline. Part of me wants to wait until right before so team 1 doesn't know. :D I've been super lazy today and really think I needed this day to recharge. Tomorrow starts a new week of kicking butt!

@SmashleyM914 I never got it to work from my phone. I didn't even try for this race. @mari_moulin You have maxed out every week, I'm pretty sure we can overlook one week for you. ;) I'm glad you got to enjoy some time with your boys.

@MonicaA2013 Too funny about that video. I started it and got halfway and had to quit. My arms were fighting me. Just too tired after all I did yesterday and this morning. I'll finish it up tomorrow.

Checking the spreadsheet tonight and we are rocking this week. Right now we have 1363 more miles than team 1. That's awesome! I did so much today. Water aerobics, swimming, walking, and yoga. Tomorrow's agenda is the videos. I'll also be able to claim the points for the water challenge. I'm so proud of us this week. We…

I haven't put my minutes in for yesterday yet, but I will in a few hours. I've already done over two hours today also. Thursday's I go to the rec for a water aerobics and then lap swimming. Today I walked some on the track also. I really look forward to Thursdays, and never thought I'd look forward to a workout. Love being…

@lpeltenburg Happy Birthday! Mine was on Monday and it was in the 70s here. Never that nice on my birthday. Took a nice walk with my daughter and yoga that day, nothing strenuous. Enjoy your day!

@lynnbaum I love strong cheeses. They are delicious and your salad looks awesome. @plainanjelik You are rocking the minutes this week! @ddeliciosa Thanks! I've never been a runner, so this is a new thing. I kinda like and kinda hate it. I just really want to finish the program. I'd love to be able run at least a 5K once in…

Water is no problem for me. I have a 32oz bottle that I make sure I drink at least 3 of a day. I usually manage 4. I'm tired and sore today and I'm not sure why. I took a walk yesterday but it was an easy one with my daughter. Also did a couple yoga videos. Those haven't really hurt me though. This morning I started C25K…

@SmashleyM914 My son pitches and right field. He played three different seasons of ball last year for his school.

@SmashleyM914 We are gearing up for baseball season here also. I enjoy watching my son play, but sometimes the number of games is hard. What position does your son play?

@SmashleyM914 I like to win! I don't know how to get others to step up though. Driving me nuts that I'm doing all I can and we are still in second. Just a few more minutes for those not maxing out would help immensly.

I really want to beat team 1, so annoying that we are so close every week. The 700 minutes are hard to get, but doable. My body is tired and I have days where I don't want to do anything but then I think of the team and the goals I've set and start moving. All the minutes are making the scale move also. Another 3lbs gone…

We are doing awesome this week! Only one blank spot on the challenges and 9 of us maxed out on minutes. A couple more were super close. Way to go, Smashers!

We are only 70 points out of first and could make that up with everyone completing the challenges. I just finished the last foot massage and I only need another 20 minutes for the 700 max. I'll get that when I do my yoga tonight. :)

One more massage video to go and about an hour to max out. @ShansGotGoals I've made overnight oats before and my daughter loves them. I had some recipes that used several different combinations. She's asked me to make them again for her and I just haven't done it. Maybe I should do that and surprise her. @carinamenina Hope…

Challenge 3 1. What did you try? Dried Persimmon 2. Tell us about your experience. I'd never had a persimmon and had no idea what to expect besides the fact that the bag said it's a citrus. Didn't really taste like citrus to me at all. In fact, I thought it tasted like a sweet potato. It wasn't the best thing I've ever…

I feel like I've been MIA this week. Still been working out, but haven't been on the board much. Super busy sitting in the stands at basketball games. I did take time in between games and waiting for son after the games to walk around. :smile: We are going out today to celebrate my birthday (Monday) with my family. I'm on…

Hey, Smashers. Today was tough. It took me until 11pm to get my 100 minutes in, but I did it! That stupid application is longer than I thought and then my son had two basketball games. Tomorrow will be another tough day. I need to finish the application and two more ball games. It's also parent/teacher conferences, but my…

@MonicaA2013 and @lpeltenburg too funny, it is also my tom. We did sync up online. :D

I did the kickboxing video this morning. Then I did the dance ones just to see what they were. :) I still plan on doing the one with Peanut sometime this week also. I've done some of her other videos and liked them. I need to work on my grad school application now. It's due tomorrow and I'm not done yet. I'm a great…

@carinamenina I LOVE jicama and pomegranates. I don't like the crunch part of the seeds, but I just spit that part out. Two very good choices to try. @SmashleyM914 If you cut the pomegranate and soak it in water it's easier to peel the seeds out. While getting my haircut today, I figured out that I've always wanted to try…

Glad to see others are getting frustrated with always being 2nd also. @SmashleyM914 I was thinking about doing all the videos also. Figured it would switch things up for the week and give me my minutes. No idea what I'm going to try for the week. I also thought about a weird fruit. I'm also not a fan of fish, so I guess I…

I did all I could this week, team. Maxed out my minutes and completed every challenge. :smile: The minutes were hard, but not so hard I can't do it again. Sometimes those last 30 minutes are me just walking in place while watching TV. I figure I'm still moving though. Looks like team 1 is going to beat us again this week.…
