Hope everyone is having an awesome week. It's been so so busy at work ...gone for 10 days and it seems my unit falls apart...the Medical Md, the Psych MD and myself were all on vacation....when I get back my unit census is 5 above normal and i am told there are no more beds at the inn ( rest of the hospital) that means I have to keep them ( I am in charge of the medical unit at a psychiatric hospital) even though they are no longer sick ....ugh that put a lot of dangerous patients with my medically compromised patients..not safe at all...any. It's Hump day tomorrow and Ceaser Chavez day ( paid holiday) Thursday so I am all smiles0

Good morning team!! I am back on track with my morning workout. Yesterday was rough not getting my morning workout in. And I wasn't wrong being a little afraid of my circuit training last night! I had trouble walking when it was over. And let's say that cardio was a bit rough this morning too!
Hoping to get some stairs done tonight! Will try for Belly Dancing too, if I don't get to it tonight, I will do it Friday.
Hope you all have a great day!!!0 -

@Diana6ft, rest and take it easy.
Something interesting I noticed this morning, since we had to do the rainbow food challenge, I have a 1-2 cups salad (Tablespoon of dressing) everyday with a small cup of soup/chili or sandwich everyday for lunch. And so far this week, I am still aiming for half my body weight in water. Looks like I am picking up some healthy habits from this challenge.
Anyone else noticing any changes from this challenge?0 -
Daily exercise is turning into a lifestyle rather than something I "have to do". Waking up at 5:15 a.m. to work out is the norm now, and if I don't exercise, I get grouchy!! Starting to love those endorphins!

I definitely took my water intake to the next level. My lifestyle has also changed to a more active one overall. Like today I took my boys to watch the Minions at our library, and we walked instead of drove. I hope I can keep it up over the summer. It's already been tough this week with all of the kids home for spring break.0

I added the "crack the egg" ab move to my morning work out and am a lot more conscience about drinking the water. -- Doing a lot more walking too. If it is reasonable out, I try to walk about 1/2 of my lunch hour to get more miles/minutes in for the challenge.

Monday--not a great start this week; no workout and ate Easter dinner leftovers! I plan on hitting the gym tomorrow that includes the stair-stepper and a Zumba class.
Tuesday-Got to the gym today and did 50 flights! Also did my hour Zumba class. Ate some grapes for my Egyptian food.
Wednesday-The weather was so great here in Missouri that I went to the park and ran/walked over 3 miles. I also got in a few flights of stairs and a couple of belly dancing videos. I feel this has been the best day so far this week as far as my diet as well. Easter dinner was a definite set back, but I am back on track!

So bad news....I'm not feeling well - some sort of stomach bug. That means no double workout for tonight, and I'm not sure now what the rest of the week will look like as I have to plan easier workout around my long run, and we are also looking at a snow storm this weekend. I think at this point my top priority will be to get in the long run, and do the best that I can with the rest. Not going to be good for the miles though. Today is now the "rest" day, and there will be no belly dancing today. Not sure how/when to get that in, but I will.
I decided to leave work early and my first thought when I got home was, "how is this going to effect my workout schedule." - probably not the best mentality!
Good news is that I'm at 79 flights of stairs, that I've remembered to count.0 -
@ka97, hope you feel better! Take your rest day and REST! We got you on the miles!0

I'll get my usual morning workout in on Friday, then I'm heading to Mom's weekend at my daughter college. She graduates April 31th so this is the last hurrah! No idea what kind of activity minutes I will earn. The good news it is a 25 minute walk from her apartment to the bars or campus activities.0

Wednesday-Had company tonight but made sure to fit in a 60 minute workout. This challenge is definitely effecting my lifestyle...I would have skipped it before because I would have made that a reason not do it. I am continuing with good food choices as well and added water too (for the most part!).

So, after a hectic week with the family and things happening with my friend; after resting at taking paracetamol and no improvement in my knee, I went to a physio, because I thought it was just some muscle etc. During his exam of my knee, he felt that it is something more serious and that I have either torn my meniscus or it is bursitis. I could only get an appointment for next week at the ORTHO specialist, but my doctor does think it is that too and said not to do anything other than the basic things things and not to put too much strain on my knee. I have to bow out of the race due to my physical limitations until I get the all clear. The whole physio exam brought back the whole pain and limitations in my ankle too, so I'm really out of commission.
I will be bowing out of this great group and the challenge.. I'm so so sorry for leaving you guys in the lurch and having one less team member.0 -

Oh @Andtian2_4, that sounds terribly painful! I sure hope you heal quickly! Thank you for letting us know your status, take care, and we will catch you on the next go-round! 0 -
@Andtian2_4, Sorry to see you leave, but you go take care of yourself and come back strong for the next go round!0
