Happy Friday Team Black! Thursday I was over on Calcium! I did not exercise though ... I was in the ER for a good chunk of the day with my son. He smashed his finger in the door of my car right before the bus pulled up for school. Sooooo ... I had to take him to be seen by someone before sending him to school. Long story…

I added my stuff to the spreadsheet. Not such a good week for me as far as the challenges go. I blame Irene and my love for fatty foods! LOL! Tuesday Nutrition Under Fat ~ Fail. Strength Superman pose ~ Done! I did not make my goal for cals burned. >.< I would have if I did the shoveling I had planed to do though! Ugh!! I…

I made it through Irene! I am totally blessed to come through with NO damage to my property! I do have to fix the gravel hill tomorrow once I get the kids off to school. I have deep ruts in my hill and all the gravel is at the bottom of my driveway. *sigh* I think I will be shoveling and moving gravel tomorrow! Ugh ... So…

I'm in northeast Maryland. I felt it!! My stuff in the cabinets shook, furniture moved and we ran out the door! Husband works in DC and was driving ... so he felt nothing. My BFF lives in Richmond and she's fine .. no damage to her house. And she has power and phones!

I agree! LOL! I don't think he'd be worth you paying for another meal! Hahahahahaha!

I will only record things that I don't do on a regular basis. Like today, I'm counting washing my truck as cleaning! Ha! I'm gonna get my HRM on for the waxing though! I also counted the painting of walls I did this past weekend as "cleaning". I did not wear my HRM and kinda wished I did. I do not count vacuuming, dishes,…

That would be wonderful for Shawn!! I think she was suppose to go to another team, but that did not happen! I know she's been keeping up on her points and stuff for the week too ~ just in case a team needed her!

Awww! Have a wonderful time!! :) And I will still be here to keep you motivated outside of this challenge! :)

I love this!!! I do look up information before going out to eat. If I know where I'm eating ahead of time! I have been known to look up stuff on my droid at restaurants too!! LOL! I think *for me* it would make decisions so much easier. As far as healthy food being more pricey ... I think all food is getting pricey. I mean…

I don't love them or hate them. I think if I have the choice when eating on the run they are WAY better than Micky D's or Booger King! I think they have better choices than most eat on the run places though. Honestly, I'm sure we can all make better stuff at home, but if you are out and about they probably are the best…

I'm torn between Team Yellow and Team Green! I'm such a chocohaloic! LOL! That said ... I'm gonna vote for the Monkey bars ~ Team Yellow! I think my kids would LOVE them! And I have all that stuff in my kitchen and will HAVE to try to make them real soon!

I agree with the others about checking out your calories. You may need more. Also ... you body gets use to routine. So you need to mix it up a bit. Go balls to the wall on a different workout for a week or so. Mix your workout routine up a bit and see if that works.

Good Morning Team Black!! I'm your newest member and my name is Stacey. I am the Mom to 2 young kids, Emily who is 3 and Brandon who is 5. Both will be going to school this year and I couldn't be happier! Ha! Well ... this year my son will be going all day and with my daughter going 1/2days ... that gives me time to do…

I think I posted on the other thread. Week 4? I remember doing it! I also did it on the spreadsheet. :)

I just carried 2 50lb bags of chicken feed about 50 yards! I wonder what kind of burn that was! LOL! :sick:

Well .. if we are counting this stuff ... I can certainly go to like 2600 or 3000! Still a challenge, but a bit more attainable. See ... I never really count my cleaning and stuff. LOL! But if we can count that ... cool. :flowerforyou: ETA ~ I'm also finished with my 30DS as of today ... so I'm gonna try to find another…

Okay .. I posted the minimum. That is a huge challenge for me since I usually only hit 1400 a week. Posted it to the sheet too!

I actually have a HRM and record it as 30DS. I find that MFP over inflates the burn. :frown: At least for me. As we know everyone is different and burns cals differently! :wink: So ... my average for 27 mins or so is close to 200 Cals burned. I will see if I can find something extra to do. My kids don't go back until the…

I am finishing my 30DS and with that I was only burning 1400 cals a week. Today is the last day and I was SO looking forward to only working out 5 days a week and not 7! That's working out for about 30 mins every day ... 7 days a week!! I don't have the extra time to work out more than that. And it was very hard to fit in…

I had added my weights to the spreadsheet! :) I had to change all my weights due to a new scale. The only thing is that it seems the total weight lost is not totaling. :ohwell: Starting MFP Weight : 171 Starting SAHMU Weight : 169 Week 1 Weight : 169 Week 2 Weight : 170 ( at TOM) Week 3 Weight: 168 Week 4 Weight: 167…

Wow!! This week is gonna be a real challenge!! LOL!

I wonder where everyone went this week?? :cry: :sad: I had added my weights to the spreadsheet! :) I had to change all my weights due to a new scale. :grumble: Starting MFP Weight : 171 Starting SAHMU Weight : 169 Week 1 Weight : 169 Week 2 Weight : 170 (:grumble: at TOM) Week 3 Weight: 168 Week 4 Weight: 167 Change this…

Nice Challenge! It will be a challenge for me too! :) Yay! LOL!

Oh man! I love her site!! SkinnyTaste.com!! I have made a few things off there and not only is it good food, but low cals!! :drinker:
