Dee, I'll be in near Murphy, in Brasstown...in the middle of nowhere! Are you close?

Friday... Exercise: 60 minutes New: not yet Bi Cr: 75 Breakfast: 5 of 7 Recipe: not yet I wanted to apologize to you all for not being more talkative on here...I have TOO much going on right now, most of it involving preparation for a class that I'm teaching next week at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina.…

Thursday... Exercise: 65 minutes New: not yet Bi Cr: 150 Breakfast: 4 of 7 Recipe: not yet

Denise, I can't stand the thought of eating veggies at breakfast, but your recipe post LOOKED BEAUTIFUL!!! Good job! I'm going to end up posting my 'go-to' breakfast, which is NOT gonna be pretty, but tastes GREAT and is super-healthy...oh well!

Wednesday... Exercise: 60 minutes New: not yet Bi Cr: 100 Breakfast: 3 of 7 Recipe: not yet

Didn't get my Tuesday posted last night... Exercise: 60 minutes New: not yet Bi-Cr: 100 B'fast: 2 of 7 Recipe: not yet

Just thought I might need to mention...for your cardio to count as one of your exercise sessions, it has to be at least 30 minutes; here's the quote from our organizer: "Exercise 1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio or strength exercise sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best! sessions of jogging,…

Oh, that *was* a good Monday! As for my trip, I like getting out of the house, but it wasn't for R&R...I was helping my son work an art festival...but it was nice - fairly easy work and the show was good.

Well, my Monday is not so hot...I didn't get enough sleep last night, so I haven't felt good all day! No exercise No new Bicycle Crunches: 100 Breakfast: of course! (1 of 7) Pic/recipe: nope Squats: 100

Weigh-in: ...hope you're sitting down... 112.2! :(( I'm UP 4 pounds since Friday (another group I'm in weighs on Fridays.) I *knew* this weigh-in wasn't going to be great, but that is ridiculous! My sodium was really bad (from restaurant meals) on Friday and Saturday, so I'm hoping that's the culprit. I surely didn't…

I'm finally back home...I ate really bad almost all weekend, so I'm kinda nervous about the weigh-in too! For Sunday... Exercise: 60 minutes New: new yoga dvd Squats: 50 Everybody try to get all your weekly stuff on here (and of course your weigh-in tomorrow morning,) and I'll get it all on the spreadsheet tomorrow! I feel…

Yes, daily posting is good...I'm keeping a written chart that I will use to fill in our totals at the end of the week. Ans yes, we have through Sunday to complete this week's stuff. It *will* be good too if everybody can have all their accomplishments posted by Sunday evening, because I'm supposed to have it reported on…

Oh, I'm glad you said that! I would have had an obscene total on those workout minutes at the end of the week! By the way, everybody, I am just filling in our spreadsheet at the end of the week...wanted you all to know that I'm not slacking! If I don't talk as much over the weekend, I'm out of town with my son and using…

Kora, I know this will come as a shock, but...life is *always* gonna be in the way! Change the way you think about what you're trying to accomplish - it was great for ME to finally realize that nobody can change my thinking or my actions but ME! Don't act like you can't do this because something gets in your way...you…

Sharon and dwidn (I still never got your name!!!) - There is kind of a lot going on and lots of different info...partly because some things have changed since the beginning and partly because folks ask questions and get lots of input... It would probably help clarify things if you just take some time to read through all…

In case you haven't seen it, here's some official challenge info: AND I QUOTE: "Would you like this idea ? To make it clear for everyone - there never been thought about complete eviction for active members!!! - we are family and we want to have a fun and keep motivating ourself !!! I am sad to say it but there will be…

Wednesday... Exercise: 87 minutes New: not yet Squats: 400 Fish Dish: tilapia tonight (2 of 2) Recipe posted today (from Monday's meal) We're putting up some good numbers this week! Keep it up!!! LET'S BE NUMBER ONE, BROWNIES!

Monday night's supper: South African Salmon (3.75 ounces) Cooked Carrots (3/4 cup) Steamed Broccoli (1 cup) South African Salmon 2 lbs. wild-caught salmon fillets...rinse and place on baking pan lined with parchment paper Salt and pepper fillets. For sauce, combine the following: 1/2 cup sour cream juice of one lemon 1 T.…

Tuesday... Exercise: 87 minutes (60 cardio & 27 circuit) New: not yet Squats: 300 Fish Dish: 1 of 2 Fish recipe: not yet Oh, and I counted wrong on yesterday's squats; my number should be 330, NOT 360! Thank you everybody, for your effort thus far...let's be the TOP TEAM this week! <3

Yep! :))

Yes, if someone is not trying, then they have already (in essence) 'evicted' themselves! To keep them around with a 'do-nothing' attitude will bring down the team... I'm still not against weekly evictions for the reasons I stated above. I don't feel like it's negative or punishment...it's just consequences - part of life.…

I'm a 'tough love' type...I don't have a problem with 'evictions!' The possibility of being eliminated **should** be motivation to make us work harder. I'm afraid that without that possibility, a lot of people won't try hard enough to meet the challenge requirements! Also, I think once a week is the *absolute* bare minimum…

My husband laughs at me because I actually think biking (especially in these KY hills) is harder than running! I think it's because he has much stronger leg muscles (he lifts heavy - bodybuilding - and has for over 20 years!)

Brown Team captain here...we weighed in on Monday because the dates on the spreadsheet are Mondays - is that right? :O Personally I like Monday for weigh-ins because if I eat BAD, I usually do it on the weekends; I thought a Monday weigh-in might do more to keep my eating good over the weekends!

Good job, Dee and Pam, for getting your fish recipe/photo up already! I had a salmon meal tonight that I'm going to use, but I'll have to get my son to help me put it on here tomorrow! It was gooooood! Here's my Monday... Exercise: 65 minutes New: not yet Squats: 360 (I *need* that 2-lb advantage!) Fish: Salmon tonight…

dwidn...first off, I don't have your name! :O Second, yes today (the 22nd) is the first official day of the challenge...we had a sort of 'practice' week last week during which we reported our exercise and water intake, etc... All daily reports plus your weekly weigh-in (Monday mornings) will just be posted here in this…

Me too! (and I DO NOT love fish!!!)

I just noticed that I was thinking today (Sunday) was the 22nd...the official weigh-in is actually tomorrow! (oops, I was a little anxious!) So, those of us who have already posted our weight...we can re-do it in the morning (if you want to!) Sorry guys! I usually play the 'blonde' card, but I really do have more sense…

Sunday... Cardio: 60 minutes New Exercise: done Squats: 50 Water: 10 cups Sharon and Pam, thanks! I got your week's info and weigh-in put on the spreadsheet!

Dee, what's your weight?
