    Thanks for the support everyone. Sadly I had a pretty bad binge yesterday. Long run hunger and the mental state of "I can eat whatever I want", followed by a couple of beers which brought on the munchies and a complete lack of concern for what I was eating. Not a good mix. Starting from square one again.

    I hate yoga (big surprise right B) . I'm not really sure what my workout plan is for the week. I have a very loosely sketched plan, hoping to put off a rest day until Friday, but planning to adjust day by day based on weather and how the body feels. I ran about 5.5 this morning, more than planned but less than I wanted. I was feeling really good until a steep downhill and then the ankle pretty much gave up.
    As always, meals are planned and prepped for most of the week. I can't see going to the grocery store to get anything new, but I hoping to figure out a way to use something already in the house in a new way. I rarely add salt to my food, so it's a simple substitution. I'm thinking maybe eggs or an omelet with some sort of spice added.

    @hawkins410 - Happy Anniversary!

    Hi everyone, just got all my times posted on the spreadsheet. Got all the challenges done, did not make great food choices this weekend. But will get myself back on track again this week with the eating. I am excited about the yoga ! Sorry about that @ka97! I had a MRI on my knee and have an appt with the results on Tuesday.... hopefully it will be good news!
    Have a great week

    Thank you for the anniversary congrats! <3
    Excellent team job on doing (and posting) the challenges! We are getting better at that every week!!
    @tooru, I made the point changes. @dtplow, fingers crossed for good MRI results on your knee.
    Unless another team pulls off a miracle, it looks like we are going to be the
    #1 team for the 3rd week in a row!!
    Way to go, Team 6 degrees of awesome!!! :)

    @dtplow - hope you get good news with the MRI!

    Congrats everyone on another outstanding finish!!!!!

    So TOM started for me today - tired, achy, cranky. I didn't really feel like working out today, but I did go to the gym and lifted. Skipping today would have just thrown my whole week off, and I doubt I'll be feeling any more motivated the next couple of days. I did however skip the run after lifting - just didn't have the energy. I'm hoping the weather is decent enough for a good run tomorrow, and that will keep me on track. If I can haul my butt of the couch, I might do the yoga video tonight.

    I have been not feeling well these last 2 days. I must have a virus or something. I wasn't able to do my normal work outs but at least I did something .

    Since we could count the eggercise and Kettleball and dancing as miles we can add in the 20 minutes of Yoga? Here I thought I was going to relax and stretch and she threw in planks!

    @mswanger09 thanks for adding the links and great job on your progress pictures :smile:

    It's getting busy as its almost the end of the semester and finals and teacher certification tests are approaching so sorry if I don't post as often!

    I posted my spice I used (curry) on the board along with my accountability post. I plan on doing some yoga and the sleeping relaxation toward the end of the week.
    Keep up the killer work everyone!
