I went on a field trip with my middle-schoolers hiking all day up and down a mountain in the area. Overall we went about 6-7 miles on foot. It was great, and I'm super glad I went with them. Great exercise- my body is sooooo tired but mentally I am soooo pumped I did it.0

Felt crappy this morning- but I got up anyway and ran almost two miles on the treadmill before work. Been doing that all week. Glad it's finally Friday!0

Wasnt it fun? I like the obstacle course ones. I attempt and don't succeed in all, but it's fun!0 -
Allergies from the goldenrod in my area kicking my butt- I didn't get up this morning to exercise because I felt like crap. But this afternoon at dusk my husband and I took our three dogs out for a two mile brisk walk- and that felt really good.

I started some serious weight lifting this week...two days in I feel like dead....my arms and thighs are sore, am not even able to drink water from my cup easily....worst of all, this soreness will remain there for at least 2 weeks as I have been told and my friend says do not expect weight loss until soreness goes away. Really?

Got home from work and it started sprinkling out- started to use that as an excuse to not run in my head, but then I was like "how is rain stopping me- really?" So I ran in the rain- two miles in 22 minutes. 0

I got up and ran on the treadmill for the first time this week- feel like I almost fell off the bandwagon there. Just been feeling really really tired with work and other stress but this morning my alarm went off to get up early and I didn't allow myself to think about it or talk myself out of it and stay in bed another hour (even though getting up in the pitch black at 5am you definitely feel like sleeping longer...) But I did it, and now I feel really happy that I did.
Where's everybody else at? I feel like many of us haven't been posting at all- I miss seeing everyone's stories! I just hope we're all just busy and not falling off the routine. Stick through it!!0 -

Keep at it, it's tough but you got to keep pushing yourself. I am glad to hear you did hit the hit treadmill. I know everyday I find myself always saying I can skip this one or make up for it tomorrow, but I force myself to hit the gym and go for my walks, knowing if I fall into that rut I won't be able to get back our.
It has gotten quiet here for sure0 -

The treadmill I have honestly was being thrown away- I got it for free! Often people have them and toss them when they are old or get small parts that dont work- keep your eyes on craigslist and things like that. Mine has a part that's broken and also the incline is stuck where it is. But I don't care, it still gives me a way to exercise in the morning when it is pitch black and I can't go out (and when the snow finally comes).0 -
Yesterday did a hike up one of our smaller mountains. It was 7km (4.5 miles) round trip, the hardest part was the 38% grade from just over a mile of it. Did a few hours of fishing at the top, left a little in the day and had to come down in the dark ( not a the best idea lol). According to mapmywalk, I burned 1000 calls on that hike. Glad I did that trip though was worth it0

Nice...one of my friend has been asking to plan an ice fishing...now am surely looking fwd to add some trek to it.0 -
Thanks guys and yeah a couple hours of fishing in between the hike up and the hike down sure broke it up and made it more fun.0

Okay this isn't really a "something I did for my body today" but more of positive reinforcement. A coworker came up to me today in the hall and asked if I knew I was looking thinner! I said yes I've been running and eating much healthier than I used to being pretty strict about it since July/August. She said well it shows!! That totally made me feel good.
So keep in mind even if you might not be seeing it, others probably do!0 -

Awesome, you gotta love that. I have gotten a couple comments (not as many as I would like). I don't see it that much, but I did buy a new pair if track pants today and I went from a 2XL to just an XL, so that's positive lol0 -

That's super awesome- if nothing else shows your progress, dropping sizes is a product of you doing something right for your body- that's totally something to be proud of!!0 -

Had a follow up fitness assessment done on Wednesday. Heart health is better, I doubled my sit ups, I increased flexibility, I lost 4% body fat, I lost weight, and I lost inches. All this is great but I also lost strength and muscle, I have only been doing cardio. I have always wanted to try the 5x5 strength training system. So I asked the trainer if he could walk me through it with their equipment. I pulled the trigger and bought 3 personal training days (1hr each). My first session is with him this afternoon, I am excite about it. This will also mean a change in my diet, upping my protein and maybe a slight increase in calories, however remaining in a caloric deficit.0
