I signed up for the I Love to Run challenge for 2016, and my goal is to do 1,000 walking/jogging/running miles for the year. It doesn't seem like a lot, but for me, it's A LOT. Since I don't track my steps (Fitbit, Garmin, etc.), I've got to ensure that I'm getting my cardio in daily. The only good thing is I'll get to eat more. Ha!
@bbinoa I'm sorry to hear that your slogging days might be coming to an end, but I'm glad your foot as at least healing nicely. Plus, it's a relief that you don't have to have another cortisone shot. I know you enjoy jogging slowly, but there is certainly nothing wrong walking. The important thing is to keep active in a safe way for you. Keep your head up! I'm sending happy thoughts your way.0 -
Thanks @Laughter_Girl ! I'm having a bit of a rough patch at the moment... the medicine I'm taking until I can have the surgery has left me feeling like a wet dishrag! Zero energy, major headache, and I just really don't care what I eat. I'm trying to be kind to myself... this shall pass, and for now I'm probably going to just let the brownies happen. I know I'll be feeling better soon. For now though- meh. I'm guessing January goals are NOT happening!
1,000 miles is amazing! Have you figured out how you're going to tackle it? Do you have a certain goal to do each week? That's awesome!0 -

It was a good day today. I'm glad the weekend is upon us. I plan to get some rest if I can.
@bbinoa Yes, you are indeed having a season. It'll only get better from here though. In the meantime, take care of you as best as possible. You might not meet the goals you set on here for January, but you can always change your goals. You could change yours to getting x amount of hours of sleep each day or drink so many cups of water. My biggest goal for January is to not have any french fries. It seems simple, but I LOVE fries. I'm looking forward to February 1st just so I can get some. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
As far as the 1000 miles challenge, I am hoping to complete 20 walking/running miles each week. That's not going to be easy, but I'm going to try. It seemed like a good idea when I initially registered for it. Ha!0 -

It started off good, but it went down hill when I had that hot fudge cake.0 -
9th
Green - Yes, 4/25
Exercise - Yes, 3/12 - a 4.02 cycle ride between showers!
Steps - No, 6/9
Felt quite poorly today with a vile, piercing headache and nausea - fab way to achieve a green -- but far from a good way. I couldn't face walking any distance, so that impacted on my steps. I did manage a cycle ride though.
Feeling better today . . . . . let's see what it brings.0 -

Goal 26 of 31
Green today? Yes 9/25
Streak 9
Exercise goal 16
Exercise today? Yes 4/16
Busy! Lots of swimming and written is crazy busy. Good news is it keeps me green because I only eat to sustain! Bad news is that exercise isn't routine right now.
@bbinoa, how frustrating! Do you have hiking trails nearby? I LOVE hiking.0 -

Exercise: no, no, no, yes 3/16
Sorry to disappear -overtime and my husband has had the flu. Not fun.
1/3 of the way through the month, I am making good progress on my goals. On 1/2 I was up to 165lbs. Yesterday I am back down to 162.4. I try to maintain between 155 and 160 so I am getting rid of holiday/birthdays weight nicely.0 -

Gotta get my exercise act together this week.0 -
1/11
Um... some red! I'll continue to check in but I'm not doing so well w/the tracking this month.
Was able to sleep in this weekend, but we were busy- I think all of our kids had at least 2 activities each, so spent it running around, but it was fun seeing them do things they love. Several basketball games, an indoor field hockey game, chorus concert, and tumbling/cheerleading class. Whew! Plus dinner out w/the 3 who still live at home and the oldest who is headed back to college this week. It's hard getting them all together.
@Laughter_Girl - Great suggestions- I like the idea of having other things as goals. I'm feeling a little better today... not quite the wet dishrag! Just got done riding the bike at work over lunch. Have had some extra water. I also started working on my knitting. Took a class this weekend to brush up and finished one of my fingerless glove/hand warmer things. How is the 20 miles/week going? I'm DEFINITELY not a high mileage person, so that would have been a challenge for me too, unless I was training for a marathon!
@jenthibert - I'm actually super close to the Appalachian trail, and I've never hiked on it! I have friends who do so I may try to tag along w/them one day. I used to hike a lot when I lived in AZ, but the whole "bears that can eat me" thing freaks me out! There are other places around here too. I'm frustrated I'm being told I shouldn't run again, but we'll see.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins , I feel like I've been doing the disappearing act this month too. Sometimes, it just gets away from us! Hope your husband is feeling better.
@k80flec - good to see you again! I'm finally seeing the sun today after what feels like days on end of rain here. Unfortunately, it's super windy and cold, but at least there's this bright thing in the sky again!

I'm slowly attempting to reach my weekly goal of 20 walking and/or running miles. It's tough, but I guess it wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't.
@bbinoa Glad you're feeling a little better.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Did you get your exercise act together yet? I have certainly been there and done that before.0 -

@bbinoa Buy bear spray and hit the trail. The truth is that they will try to avoid you if they can.
@Laughter_Girl not yet, but Mondays are Cub Scout nights. Barre class tonight. DOMS tomorrow.0 -

Green today? Yes 11/25
Streak 11
Exercise goal 16
Exercise today? Yes 7/16
Today remains to be seen so I'll wait. I feel so out of routine right now and I'm not sure why... Doing ok with tracking and am getting back on track with exercise but feel off balance somehow. Too busy maybe.
@bbinoa, I like the looks of the fingerless gloves but my fingers are what get cold! Lol0 -

1/11 and 1/12
Both green w/exercise! Yippee!
@k80flec - oh no! Feel better. That doesn't sound nice at all
I believe my daughter said of the fingerless gloves "why wear gloves if they don't keep your fingers warm?" Yea. Well, it's practice! I'm thinking I could wear them for walking... you need a little warmth, but still want your hands free for stuff.

I have no idea where I ended up yesterday! Had a vendor take me out for this fabulous lunch at this place that uses all locally sourced Ingredients. Meals were under 500 calories but there was some appetizer sharing and a dessert! Oh well. It was really really good!!!0 -

Green! Yea! Even with a little splurge for dessert. One of those days where I didn't sit down, or get to eat lunch until after 2. kind of crazy! My MFP phone app continues to not record stuff correctly though. I added some walking and it doesn't reflect it. Weird.
Finished my first knitting class project! Fingerless gloves. I've been showing them off at work this morning, LOL!0 -

@bbinoa Congratulations!!! I would be showing off my hard work too. What's the next project?
@MelissaPhippsFeagins I sure hope you made it to the gym. It's always tough for me to restart exercising after taking a little break. Of course that "little break" could be just a rest day, but it always feels like a lifetime ago. Ha, ha, ha. I'm looking forward to reading a glowing report from you.
@k80flec You had a lofty "Green" goal like me this month. And like me, you'll be cutting it close to reach this month's goal. We can do it though!!!0 -
