Weight-Loss The Amazing Race Challenge Weight Loss Warriors Team

Weight-Loss
So?How are you doing this week. We haven't talked in a while

I'll be ok for my 385 mins. I still need to do those Tae Kwon Do moves!

2 days until weigh in, we need to work hard!!
 
Roadblock this week is a south african dish. One of us has to make and eat it. I would prefer not to do it, as I am trying to do the "CORE" plan for weight watchers and it would not be on the plan, meaning I'd need to spend part of my points on it. However, if you are both adamantly opposed, I'll suck it up and do it.
 
There's a maximum of 2 roadblocks one person can do. Maybe I should keep my last one for something worse or you both won't want to do...? I know, lame excuse :)

What do you think Tyly? You want to try a new recipe???

Week 6—Seoul to Johannesburg 18hrs 35min. 6hrs12min split 3 ways

Roadblock: make and eat Nelson Mandela’s favorite South African dish—umngqusho. Don’t even try to pronounce it. :D The recipe is below. Only one person per team needs to do this--and remember--if you've already done 2 roadblocks, someone else from your team must do it. :)

Umngqusho—South African dish—Nelson Mandela’s fav
What you need
• 2 cups dry samp (broken hominy)
• 1 cup dry cowpeas (black-eyed peas) or any similar beans

What you do
• Combine samp and cowpeas in a large enamel pot or glass bowl. Add cold water sufficient to cover. Cover, and let stand overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.
• In a large pot. Cover the soaked samp and cowpeas mixture with cold water. Bring to a boil. Let boil for ten minutes. Reduce heat. Add sugar beans, margarine, onions, potatoes, chillis and lemons. Simmer on low heat for one to two hours, until all is tender and the water is mostly absorbed. Add additional water during cooking if needed.
• Season with salt. Serve hot.

You must eat the whole thing by yourself. With the ingrediants other than the black-eyed peas and hominy, you can add as much or as few as you like--for example, if you don't care for spicy food, just add a tiny bit of chilis. Any questions? Just ask. :D

That stuff sounds absolutely awful. I don't know if I can do it! I hate to be a bad team mate, but man, I just don't know. If you need me to, I can try, but I can't guarantee eating it all!

On the up side, I have gotten all my exercise for this week, and I am 99% sure I will have a decent loss!

If neither of you are willing, I will do it. But bear in mids that I already did one and so did Jerome, so the next one MUST be done by Tyly. (Only one team member can do two, according to the rules.) So, whatever sick joke it might be, it's yours Babe.
 
It's a deal! Whatever nastiness she throws my way, I will suck it up and do it! Thanks Amber!

And to make up for being difficult, I had a wonderful weigh in to help us out!!!!

Hopefully you guys will still love me!

:D

*twiddles thumbs ala Mr. Burns* Excellent....:reddevil:

I'll have to think up something particularly horrible for Tyly. :D

Actually, the detours and roadblocks are all pre-planned, so we'll see how bad you think it is. :smilielol5:

:smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:
 
Yes, I am...it's a bit gross, but it's being done.

Something about lemons and spicyness together does not sit right with me.
 
Okay, its eaten. My husband asked me what it was and I said "I can't pronounce it, but it starts with a "u" so I've been calling it uck."

For next week, I am totally all about taking a nap each day. Tyly can do the runnning!

yeah, I absolutely thought of Tyly with the running detour. :D Well, she can enjoy this week's detour, but then she'll have to deal with next week's final roadblock.....muuuaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa :reddevil:

Won't I be mad if she actually doesn't mind it? :D

Week 7—Johannesburg to Pamplona 19hrs 26min. 6hrs 29min split 3 ways.

Detour: 1.Take a Spanish siesta, or afternoon nap. :sleeping: This detour option requires you to spend 30min resting during your normal waking hours. You must do this 5 days during the week, and the 30min must be uninterrupted—no phones, TV, computer or getting up from your place of rest. You don't have to actually sleep, just rest with your eyes closed. Studies show that people who are well-rested are more productive, live longer, and it’s also more conducive to weight loss. Your "siesta" would ideally be done between the hours of noon and 4pm, but as I know many of you have day jobs that make that impossible, just make sure you do it at some point during the day/evening--but don't set your alarm a half hour early and then snooze for another 30 minutes. That would be cheating. The point is to ADD rest to your day. :)

Or 2. Run with the bulls of Pamplona. The running of the bulls course is approx ½ mile long. During the week, run a half mile (804m) without stopping or else you’ll be gored by a bull...hahaha. :smilielol5: You only need to do this once, and you must run the 1/2 mile in 5 minutes or less.

I am seriously dreading what you have planned...

But bring it on! I WILL be doing it!

:D

Ah, it probably won't be that bad...lol It'll just depend on how you like *****. :D

Of course I was thinking of you--it was TLD. :smilielol5:

I will go ahead and fantasize about what I want "******" to be... :sifone:

Weight Loss Warriors, I think we are going to be good for this week!!! YAY!!! :D
 
I am so, so sorry. I completely forgot to update my stats, even after reading the threads earlier this morning. This evening, I got caught up in my husbands birthday party and forgot again until 12:30 central time.

I screwed up and we got eliminated because of me. And I ate uck for nothing.

You have the right to be mad at me, I'll understand.
