I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes by starting the April.thread. I need to get my goal in writing or I won't stick to it.

My goal for April is 20 green days - lots of celebrations in our family this month so I am leaving room to party.

    Glad you got it started. My goal for April is 28 green days. There's nothing special going on this month, but I deserve a couple of days to just enjoy a big meal. :)

    I ran a 5K (ALS Twinkie Run) yesterday, and I just walked and did some strength training today.

    If you celebrate the Passover or Good Friday, I hope you've had a good celebration/contemplation. I was in the gym at 5:30 this morning due to altered hours for the Holy Days.

    Hi,
    I'm new to this and coming into the game 5 days late, so I'm aiming to get at least 15-20days out of the next 25 (or so), GREEN.

    I cannot believe I made it Chevy style! I ate at our friend Jonathan's restaurant after church today. The Easter Extravaganza buffet. His desserts aren't GF, but I ate two of everything that was safe for me. (And if I weren't too lazy to walk the dog, I could get that into actual green.)

    I really building these muscles. Well, at least I hope I am. I've been doing a 30 Day Shred. I've actually only completed Day 3 I think, but I'm on my way. :)

    @R_Queenie I'm liking that hula hooping. The last time I attempted to do it, I couldn't keep it up. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I bet it was fun though.

    I've been consistently doing the 30 Day Shred. Although I enjoy it, I'll probably add a little more cardio tomorrow so that I can eat a real burger and fries for dinner. :)

    @k80flec I'm sorry to read about the spider. I hope you were braver than I would have been. :#

    Green: No. Lunch meeting at a place that offered NO "better" choice...I went in with a game plan and everything!
    Then I chose some un-wise treats after a sensible dinner. Sometimes...I get in my own way of success!

    Anyway, I had an unplanned adventure in the morning - it was called "45 Minute Hunt for my FitBit!"...it involved much pacing, many stairs, and way too much time!!! It did NOT involve any F'Bombs - as that is one of my goals this month for the 3 Things Challenge!!!

    @Laughter_Girl---I would say keep trying....I was pretty bad when I tried it as an adult. NOW, I tell myself if I start after commercials and am still going when the next commercial break happens---I can take a take a break! I may have to update my resume! >:) Hula hooped in the morning and I got that good sore feeling in my waist....LOVE it when I can feel waist/ab muscles!!!!

    Still doing the 30 Day Shred. I also did a quick power walk workout today.

    @Scherzie What challenging race do you have on Sunday? :) I'm sure whatever you up your calories to, you'll burn them off on Sunday. Go shero!!!

    @R_Queenie keep the hula hooping up!!!
