    Just checking in..... Good job Bonnie for getting back on track mid-day yesterday!
    I got a great 1400 m swim in yesterday, and managed to keep to my calorie goals despite giving in to a late afternoon snack habit.
    It's going to take some planning to get all my activity in over the next few days (parent-teacher interviews tonight, an out of town competition with one of my children Fri/Sat), but I am determined to get stick to my goals! Have a great day, everyone!

    Newbie2143, great job on swim and staying under despite the snacking. That's key, since so often people throw in the towel and go overboard the rest of the day. I like that you recognize 1) that a busy scheule and variat up n from routine are potential obstacles to exercise and eating nutritiously, and 2), that planning is important to staying on plan when you are busy. Wtg!

    So, got my swim done in a different town yesterday, as I was away all day with my son at a competition. I looked up the local pool and headed over there for an hour to get the workout done. Will need to do my run today in unfamiliar territory too, but happy I am finding ways to get it done. All goals on track. Weigh day Monday :#

    Hi! Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is doing great. Here's my progress report after 13 days of the Spring Fling, with 79 days left:
    Walk/jog steps: Goal 780,000 - 130,919 so far (average 10, 070 per day). 649, 081 left in 79 days, (average 8,219). ON TRACK.
    Time outside:At least ten minutes per day all 13 days. ONTRACK.
    Logging every bite: Have logged every bite 13/13 days. ON TRACK
    Strength training or yoga: Goal was 3 times per week for total of 39. Haven't done any intentional workout for strength or yoga. BEHIND. To meet goal, I will have to do a workout every other day for remainder. Going to try. Since my part-time housecleaaning business is so physically denanding, I am going to count that as a workout (1× per week)

    And I've lost 3 pounds/13 days despite a few days of questionable nutrition.

    I will by June 20th.......


    Achieve a loss of 1 Stone, AT LEAST

    To have completed 120km of jogging

    To be able to run 4.5k in 30 mins

    To achieve approx 2450 cals, added per week from exercise, in whatever way that is done, this equates to around 350 per day, or can be done on average over the week or challenge.

    I will come in and log on here once a week to say whether I am on course and what I have achieved in that week.

    Thanks for letting me be apart of this challenge :)

    Well here we go then....... :wink:

    W/C 28th March

    Lost 2lbs in the last week
    Done 10.5 Km of running last week.

    ran 4.5km in 33.30mins Sunday,still got to go some!!
    got an extra 4899 cals from exercise, however, I bought a fitbit surge on Friday, so it has sort of skewed my data really so prob aught to up this in my challenge anyway, maybe at least an extra 1000 per day, so 7000 per week, earned from activity!? lost the plot with that one! sorry ...I have exercised each day except for Friday when I had a rest day!

    Thanks
    Diantha

    Even though I haven't posted in a few days I've logged all of my food and exercise and ended well under calorie allotment each day. In the past 10 days, I've managed to go to hot yoga 8 days and walked/jogged on the days I didn't and some that I did. The scale hasn't moved, but I put on a pair of jeans that were getting really tight and they fit well again so I know something is happening and just have to keep telling myself that all of the yoga I'm doing is building muscle and it weighs more than fat.

    Wow! Great progress! I too am not focusing on the scale - just concentrating on developing healthy habits...the scale will take care of itself. Have a great Wednesday, all!

    Hi everyone, just checking in....
