I've been so swamped with work I almost forgot to open my MFP app today...I want to keep my streak going because that's how long it been on my journey.
Week 1 of 21 day fix is going great, and I am so happy to see my husband sticking with it as well. I haven't bothered to wear my fitbit this week as I know I am stuck at my desk all day and I know that my step count will just be depressing. But I did a mid week weight to just check progress since starting 21 day fix and I am down 4 lbs so far from last weigh in!!! Hoping the numbers keep going down or at least stay steady.3 -

Weekly nutritional challenge: One of the best super foods that you can eat are greens. Lots of nutrients. For the week, try and add at least one green to each meal. My go to greens are always fresh leaf spinach and roasted or grilled Brussel sprouts.
Weekly fitness challenge: making time to get up and stay active is important. I am stuck at a desk most of the day, but breaks to get up, stretch and move are important. Twice a day, choose 2 items from the list below and do them during a quick stretching break.
- 15 jumping jacks
- 2 minute walk/jog in place
- 15 sit ups
- 15 squats
- 10 mountain climbers
- 10 push ups
- 10 lunges
- 10-15 reps of your favorite move.2 -

I could only get to a one to one and a half minute plank last week. That in itself was a major victory. I believe 3 min. was unrealistic at this time.

Can you pick two different move everyday for the fitness challenge?

Great Challenges Emily! I will try to do what I can when I can. 15 jumping Jacks and 2 min of walking in place will work for me.

Hi. Just checking in. I started the week(my weigh in is fri) out strong then got sick. Ugh. Cold & ear infection. My weigh in was the same as my starting weight but considering it had gone up 4lbs in a week (water weight etc) I'm ok with it for now. Was hoping for a good loss last week but life happens..... Baby steps. Everyone keep up the good work & stay positive. Change doesn't happen over night.1

Just finished doing C25K W5 D2, will repeat D2 because it was very challenging before I move onto D3( which is a 20min run). Also worked on upper body strength training. Good luck to everyone else.1

How is everyone doing? It is beautiful here. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend to take off, something that I don't do often.

I will be doing C25K W4 D2 tomorrow. Just to see my progress, I decided to run 3.1 miles outside. I made it through but that first mile was the hardest ever Once I got past that, I was ok. I finished in 49 minutes. I will work on decreasing that time before my actual 5K run. 2

Sure I count snacks as meals too.
On the fitness challenge, feel free to mix it up. I like to do different ones depending on what my goal areas are for the day.0 -
I think that for the May challenge, I am going to change my weight-in day to Friday. I have noticed that it is so much easier for me during the week than the weekend. I have always weighed in on Mondays, but my trouble is that it is nice out and now that we are attending more functions as summer is so close, it is rougher on me to weight in on Friday now since I am always recovering from the weekend and my weight is always up .5-1 lb.0

I agree 100% that's why my weigh in is Friday's, it helps me focus for the weekend.0 -

1. Get an EARLY workout in~~~~
2. Limit going out to eat NO MORE than 3 days a week~~~~
3. Plan each Sunday to attend one exercise class for the current week~~~~
4. At least 5 days get an evening walk in~~~~~
Today's goals
1. Meet my calorie goal
2. Get an morning run in
3. Meet protein goal
4. NOOOO late night snacking1 -
Sorry for not losing much weight lately. Went to Drs today he doing a bunch of lab to make sure it's not my thyroid or other vitamin/mineral deficiency.0
