    Great job Shy - walking while watching TV. I won't get my walk in today, but will gets tons of exercise. We had SIX trees cut yesterday, so now I have to haul all the logs and stack them - and this is up and down a steep hill!!!!!

    I have to fix my pedometer though to record my steps. I use a app called MAP MY RUN on my phone, and typically walk 4 to 6 miles, but not sure how many steps that is. Last nite though I only walked for 3 miles, so I know that isway below MrsRobinsoncl 16000 steps!

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Good evening all! Or is it morning for a lot of you :smiley: just about to log my food so far, up to 7415 steps but feeling shattered after a mad few days so probably won't do much more tonight. This is my hard time. Tired, hungry, so easy to pick at the wrong things. Love the marching whilst watching TV! Welcome all old and new. Off to track now.

    Hi all, extra accountability is always good. I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Hurt my shoulder which has killed most of my workouts and that makes everything start to fall apart

    Yesterday was good for steps anyway. I had 9667. But as far as eating well , some reason I got the munchies and I ended up eating probably around 2000 calories, I didn't log it because i Ifelt bad. But I'm glad to be started on the Les Mills Combat.

    I've found that even if I go over my calories I lot them, it helps keep me accountable and helps me think twice before I do it again

    45 minutes of marching and I hit 10,000, notice I didn't get many after that! Yikes! Today is looking pretty shotty for my step count! Yikes!
    Have fun working and burning calories today! Sounds like a perfect day!! I wish I was outside, and not in a dreary cubicle! =)

    7, 415 is a great day! Nothing wrong with that! Go look at my cupcake image before you pick at anything... it looks good, but not on the tummy! =) Have a great night!

    Great job on the steps Cierra! And don't forget to log those extra 2,000 calories.. you may feel guilty, but you want to be honest with yourself... =) It happens... react to it and step it up even more today!

    Hey ladies! So yesterday, I did great during the day, ate pretty good, no snacking... worked out before work. I try to shoot for a 350 calorie burn before work everyday. Only did 300 today as my daughter needed to be to school early for a student council meeting. But now I am at work and struggling to get my a** out of my chair. Although, I did just take a bathroom break and with going upstairs, and across the building coming down the opposite stairs, I take 225 steps... now to do that another 31 times today! UGH! =)
    I am doing a challenge against my sister on the fitbit today and a friend added me to a group challenge as well for the week! Yikes! My goal is 10,000 a day! I WILL do it! Even if it includes marching while enjoy a tv show at night!
    Plus today I need to make up for my naughtiness last night! Olive Garden, Shrimp Alfredo and bread sticks! My downfall!! I did good on the shrimp alfredo and barely ate half but I bet I have 2.5-3 bread sticks! Really?! dumb. But today is a new day! Let's do this!!

    Steps - 7775. Not trusting the amount of cals burned it gives me on MFP, seem rather a lot! Unusually for me I feel a cold coming on, gah. But now children are in bed, so am I with a lemsip. The calories I've save not feeling hungry this evening can go towards my weekend when I am due to meet an old friend for dinner ;)

    Have a great all!
