I just did the Fitness Blender workout. I wish I would have gone for a job instead! I chose the first one because the Youtube description said "total body" focus while the other said "lower body"... I probably should have gone with the second one. The first was a little slow for my taste. I hope we get to dance next week,…

Good Morning team! I'm Kasi and I was just added to your group! I live in Salem Oregon. I have 4 kids and a grandbaby on the way in June. I've done a couple of the Amazing Race challenges and a bazillion other challenges over my many years here on MFP! I'm currently planning a massive baby shower for the end of March and a…

This week has not been the greatest for me. My work schedule was different, kids were home, and of course Thanksgiving dinner didn't help ;) I managed to catch a cold too, yuck! I'm thankful for many things everyday... kids, family, friends, health, and the ability to provide and support the people around me. But the one…

I got my miles done... I actually did about 7 miles in the last couple of days. I dropped my car off for new tires so i walked to the gym and back again on Wednesday. Yesterday I had to go to the DMV so I walked there too! I always forget how much I like walking in the cool crisp fall mornings. I went for a short jog today…

Monday: Red: Salsa (homemade from garden veggies) Green: Broccoli Tuesday: Orange: Bell Peppers Purple: Purple Power V8 Wednesday: Yellow: Banana Brown/White; Mushrooms Thursday: ? Friday: Red: Apple Yellow: Banana Saturday: Purple Grapes Green Cabbage Sunday: Yellow Banana Yellow Pineapple Green Salad

I totally planned on getting the jump roping done today but my foot really hurts. I did 5 minutes and I will try to do more a little later. I ran and danced yesterday but forgot to put the special insoles in my gym shoes so I'm really feeling it today :'( Lbenson, My new schedule is great! I use to work nights and weekends…

I think I should be good on that one. I only counted it as one color. Its very purple not sure what else I'd call it, lol! I actually bought this a few days ago just out of curiosity. Its a little more on the bitter side for me but my son made a smoothie with it, a banana, and some frozen berries and it was really good.…

Okay, I'm trying to regroup and get back on track! My schedule changed at work and was all messed up last week because I had to train for new duties. On top of that, it turns out I have some sort of strained tendon in my foot (planter fasciitis). Its kinda put a damper on my activity level. I love the challenges this week!…

I just googled outdoor stairs... nothing within an hour drive for me but this link has a list of lots of them in the US, Canada,UK, and a few more countries if anyone is interested. http://publicstairs.com/index_000002.htm

This week sounds great! I love the dance routines... I want to do them right now but I have maintenance guys in my backyard repairing the fence and my computer is right next to the sliding glass door. I'm not trying to put on a show for them, Lol ;) Guess i'm gonna have to wait. I think i'm gonna use the stair machine at…

Okay, I just finished the video's and then googled a few more to do! I think my gym just started doing these classes as well... i'm gonna have to look into them <3 I'm at 3/5 for water right now. I need 85 ounces a day but normally drink about 96 regardless! I want to apologize if i seam absent. I'm really not... I check…

Sorry about the double post... it wouldn't let me save my edit :/

@MissionEnforcer Hey there! I'm Kasi, sorry for the late introduction.

I'm 36 years old, married with 4 kids and a grandbaby on the way!!! I live in Salem Oregon. I absolutely love…

I'm not sure if I really have one major struggle in my weight loss journey. There are a few things that contribute. 1st would have to be alcohol. I simply don't burn the calories to compensate a few cocktails. Aside from that I don't make the best food choices when I'm drinking. My plan to fix this has already been…

Challenge #1 I guess my a'ha moment would have been about 8 years ago. I went through a period of time where i simply didn't like what i saw when I looked in the mirror. My youngest kid was about year old but twice in one week I was asked if I was pregnant! It was an ugly emotional mess every morning when I had to get…

Apparently i miss calculated last week.... I thought it was just one point for the personal goals so actually I completed 40% of my goal which should be about 2 points. I don't know if it really matters at this point but i thought i'd put it out there just in case :wink: February 22nd Gore Card Challenge #1= 1 Point…

I'm gonna need some extra credit to catch up I think ;) No worries, at least I'm not "missing"! I'd hate to be fighting all alone. Challenge #1~ To keep my diet on track the first thing I do is only buy healthy foods. I get most of my groceries from the outer perimeter of the store cause that is where they keep the fresh…
