6/14 - 37
So I tallied up 455 minutes for my 1st week of this challenge & will have to find some extra minutes in the days to get up to my goal.
The zoo was fun. Super hot and muggy, but we like to go a couple times a year and hadn't been in awhile. I didn't count my waking as E because it was so stop & go with my toddler, but I kept up with my 20k step average for weekend days so I'm happy with that. Weekdays are much tougher to reach step goals with my sedentary job (software consultant) so I usually JUST hit my 13k goal each day if I push it.
Have a great day!

I know I am behind. First off I want to welcome Flo, Kel , Kimberly and Amanda to the challenge.
I went back to the doctor today for a follow up. I am going to start Physical Therapy tomorrow. I am going to start doing some stretching and strengthing at home. I will also do some walking on the treadmill. I did some stretching and leg exercises on Friday along with 15 minutes on the treadmill at a very slow 1.5 MPH. That’s about all I am capable of right now. I tried to go faster but it was a little painful so I decided to hold back.

i know i'm late to the "party" but wanted to say CONGRATS Sue06/12 90 min.
Sorry that I didn't post last night.....anyways....I spoke of a goal two days ago. When I started this journey I didn't just set myself a main goal to where I want to go but also in between goals to keep my motivation up. One of those I hit yesterday morning and it feels wonderful. I went below the 200 lbs. mark!!!! To see the 1 in front of my weight made me do the happy dance lol as I honestly can't remember when I was there before (my last remembrance on this was about a year after my son was born which was about 10 years ago. This gives me the motivation to push even harder. It's reachable to loose the last 50 lbs. (before I was almost at 100 lbs. to loose)...anyways just wanted to share that with you guys. that's huge! are you doing anything special for hitting your "mini" goal?

I finally saw the area where to post them and now I know I am just blind haha. I was under the impression I have to manually post the link lol....good lordy lol...well here they are...the first fruits of my labor.
This was me when I started in January of this year:
This is me now taken yesterday (yes, I have a very umm concentrated look on my face lol...me and selfies are not really getting along yet lol)
.
I still have ways to go but I am on track and I know it's reachable!. Have a great day everybody and thanks for all the support. Means so much!!

Thanks Flo. Couldn't even believe it until I saw it...the first pic brought back the memories on how depressed I was...but that time is GONE!!!! Pushing myself even harder....my birthday is in 1 month and 13 days.....lets see what I can accomplish till then !!
Wooohooo Flo....over the first 1000 minutes...you go girl!!!! Dang got some catching up to do lol...be back alter after my exercise 0 -
I know just how you feel. I no longer wake up every day dreading the day knowing how I will feel in just a few short hours thinking about how fat I am and depressed and dwelling on myself ... SO selfish ... every single hour of every single day.
I am very thankful for this journey and as we all know, it's not easy.
I hope by the time of your birthday I get to see an even more slimmer you and I'm sure I will.:) 0 -

Sue - wow, what a transformation! You look fantastic!
Flo - I love your enthusiasm and dang, you're killing those exercise minutes!!
Kel - I don't think I "met" you yet, so hi! :-)
Boy today it sure wasn't easy to get my 13k steps in. I did a shorter early morning workout - just a mile with Leslie & then some light yoga so I started off the day with a lot less steps than usual. I took a walk at lunch & chased the little one around in the backyard this evening to make up the difference, but I felt liIe I was really working for those steps. Phew!
Hope you all have a nice evening!

Hi Amanda,
I think I might have underestimated what I could do. Next time I'll set my goal higher.
Good job on getting your steps in. I hope your Thursday is goes well!
Raining here and so gloomy, but cannot complain especially in light of the fact so many others have had horrible weather and damages.
I guess I'll break out Leslie today and see if I can possibly keep up just a little bit.
Have a great day everyone!

Rainy day here today, but my lawn & garden are ecstatic over it. :-) And that should mean some lawn mowing for me in the next couple of days. Not a thrilling chore but it's definitely a good workout so I'll take it.0 -

When I read your first paragraph mhm...that was me ....and I am very thankful even though it is very hard but I am thankful that I can experience this change in me. Others notice it as well and I love it. I am hoping that at the time of my birthday I will be quite a bit lighter again....time will tell...and yes I worked out during the past days ......posting in a moment
Thanks all for the positive comments on my pictures ...I have to admit this was a HUGE step for me as pictures have been evil for me for the longest time. I hate them because I simply thought I don't look good....silly I know but my self esteem was very low especially during these past couple years. I am working on that...and I think I am on the right track.....one step at a time.
Anyways....I worked out even though I can't seem to catch Ms. Flo lol....well we are not that far in yet soo I still have a chance haha
06/17 100 minutes
06/18 75 minutes
06/19 90 minutes
This weekend will be busy and filled with lots of movement.
I hope everybody is doing well!!
