    Hey, if anyone is spreadsheet savvy, could you take a look and see if you can get it to automatically add the minutes and calculate the percentage of total. I would normally ask Melanie (she's the one who makes it all colourful), but she is working those crazy hours and I would rather not bother her with this. Thank you!


    Done!

    Hey everyone.

    Just checking in I have worked 11 days in a row and this past week I worked 90 hours. I am really tired. I am not eating right and not exercising. If I think about how good I was doing before this I get really down in the dumps. I can only hope this ends soon.

    Lisa...do you need help with the spreadsheet.....I will try and check it tonight.

    Miss being part of this fabulous challenge.

    Well, it definitely appears that the mojo has left the building! We didn't make it to Rome. Myself, I hardly exercised at all last week. This time of year my focus needs to be on cooking and cleaning and laundry because no one else is home to do it, yet they all need it done! Let's just say I have three family members involved in this year's spring rush, with April and May being the busiest months! I am going to try to get the three of them and myself in some sort of routine this week; maybe I can salvage some of this spring for what I want to do. I did do both roadblocks and both challenges last week. Eating tomatoes is easy and for the accountability I drank nine glasses of water for 6 out of 7 days.

    Get your numbers on the spreadsheet! I will add them up tonight. As it stands, it will be a pretty easy task!!

    Oh my goodness. I have no extra exercise to add. But I can tell u this.....I don't even sleep right without exercise. Right now I think my first day off is going to be Saturday. That would be that I worked 20 days in a row. I do nothing but eat sleep and work.

    What a week. It was my birthday Monday and family was here all weekend. I served hot homemade cherry chocolate chunk cookies as breakfast because that's how I roll.

    My sewer line backed up from a collapse and I had the whole pipe from the house to the easement replaced. I couldn't shower for 4 days. Not being able to shower meant that the last thing I wanted was to get sweaty so I didn't exercise this week.

    Even so, I keep on tracking and kept on losing. I blew past my goal weight for this challenge and am only 0.8lbs from my final goal weight. That's what I weighed in College 22 years ago. This has been simple enough (but not easy) that I'm thinking about making a lower goal. 4 more pounds would but me exactly in the middle of the healthy BMI chart. It's an interesting idea to be smaller than I have ever been in my adult life.

    Mother visiting. Compliance and nice girl appeasing with food etc. Lack of space n boundaries. Not happy. Stressed. Off to do that yoga session now. Exercise has been mostly tourist walking. Established I have an intollerance to tomatoes (histammines). Looks like beautiful spring weather is yet to pull most of us out of our houses. First blue skies here after hail n snow last week. So much for Spring! Flowers lovely though. Good luck this next week.

    Hello Everyone.

    I have been working 21 days in a row and my eating is not good and I don't exercise and all of this is making me so sad. So starting today since there is currently no end in site for this to end. I am going to try an help myself. I am going to take a little 5 min walk every hour if I can.

    Today I signed up for the next challenge as well because I love this group environment and helping each other to meet our goals.

    So I am sorry for neglecting my team but if it makes you feel any better my family is not getting much of my time either.

    Good luck on your weigh ins. I didn't even enter my last week because I gained 2 lbs. :(

    I gained too. Stress and life choices can do that. You can still enter your weight so that you appreciate more when that turns around (my theory and why I entered mine- I am heavier than challenge start but am learning food intollerances and social triggers along the way).
    Perhaps the most important person not to neglect is you. Personally, others get my energy more than me so I am working on that. Good luck n hope you do get your 5 mins in. Cheering you on!!

    Hi there team, final few days of challenge and I am on a mission to get below my starting weight. Today I weighed in where I started at 121.3lb or 55kg. I got down to just under 120 before bouncing back up n over. Aim to start next challenge at a lower weight than I started this one. Surprisingly happy given stress, socialising n mum visit could have led me to even poorer choices and an even larger gain. Learning what will be the art of maintenance. Still aiming to lose another 6lbs or so and reduce body fat%
