Good Tuesday morning! Sun is shining in Columbus, but going to be really windy today. I hate wind!

Here's my weekly report for April. It was good!

1. Cardio at least 6 days a week! - Check - 7 days!
2. Tai Chi twice! Check - 2x
3. Keep stress managed! Check - I did well this past week.
4. Log every day! Check!
5. Keep about 500-calorie a day deficit based on Fitbit. Check!

This upcoming week will be a little challenging as on Sunday we are having a celebratory family brunch at a great local restaurant. I will need to workout the rest of the day because I've had this brunch before and it was wonderful! They have a mix your own Bloody Mary bar, too!

Hope you all had a good week. This group is so great and supportive. Here's to the final full week of the challenge! Cheers!

I am continuing to be successful this month.

April challenge:
60 mins./ 5 days a week of Fitness classes or DVDs if weather is bad. DONE
Keep my average daily steps goal at 12000 DONE
Observe one rest day and still maintain the daily steps goal average. DONE
Go to Body Flex 2x a week, on non-consecutive days, to add strength. DONE The fitness center is eliminating one of the Body Flex class in May, so as much as I love this, I will have to back off. I am doing a women's results class twice a week starting May 7. I do love Body Flex and hope to at least work the same muscles etc. in the results class.

Make sure you've got a plan to reach your goal. Start today!

This was a good month for a challenge, because we've had family doings that center around eating out. You had a great week, Charlie, and you'll do great with your celebration!
Although my weight went up this week, I did keep to goals, and will use the learning experience for the future. The restaurant food will still be available, and it still will have more calories, oil, or salt than show up in the mfp database. So next time I'll leave more on the plate to compensate. I must get over the thought that I'll never get to have that food again and stick to little samples.
Met and exceeded the 300 exercise minutes per week. Logged honestly, if not unflinchingly. Took rest days while getting in the 10000 steps per day.
