Stopped over the weekend (went on a 21km hike with 800meters altitude dif on the first leg and 300 on the second and still horribly sore from that).
Will start again with today's challenge
Going to continue with day 18 and depending on my level of soreness might try to catch up with the missing days
@MiamiSeoul *hugs* I'm sorry about Bella. Losing a companion is never easy

Thank you @ladyreva78.
That was quite a hike! For my 50th birthday (2019), I'd love to either do the Camino de Santiago or as much of the Pacific Crest Trail as I have time for! #FitnessGoals0 -
Day 15 complete.0

Day 18 done
Had to do the wall sits in 3 reps of 30 seconds. My legs are just sore! And today I have an appointment with my personal trainer. That's going to be painful
Oooo Pacific Crest sounds awesome! My goal is a mountain near where my grand parents lived. It's not the tallest in the world (around 3'500meters) but the last third is extremely challenging and requires some experience with alpine hikes (which I don't have yet). I haven't given myself a deadline on that since it requires some specialized training, but I'll get there one day

Yes, I'm working to plan a few weekend practice hikes over the next couple years to make sure I can handle being out for weeks at a time!
Day 16 is a . . .
for chest & back. Wall sit & sun salutations done!

Hugs @MiamiSeoul Bella looks like she was a sweetie.
I've on and off with this challenge (life interference) the rest days have been the easiest for me so far
. I can only do a full 30 second wall sit as of yet. Is a fun challenge tho.
Congrats all for ur determination. Keep on keeping on!1 -

@sharondjs @ladyreva78 @Jacquitheelder @lookingglass127 @Dhathri and anyone else I may have missed, I hope your October is going well. This is the last week of the month.
This past week I lost a pound, but my body was telling me I needed to switch things up; sooo, yesterday I did day 1, level 1 of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. (All three levels are available on YouTube.) It does what it is supposed to do - gives a total body workout in less than 30 minutes. Between JM & this challenge, I'm going to have some serious definition! I'm already falling in love with my triceps & my thighs are getting smaller! Once I'm able to kick my cardio back up, I'm going to unveil some well-toned muscles! (I go back to the neurologist tomorrow about my bulging disks, fingers crossed for good news! BTW, I learned Friday that I dropped my cholesterol to 160 from 205 BEFORE I had to start Crestor - I have a long way to go, but I will get there!)
My long-term goal is to have my body together by 7/1/2017 (I started back on MFP this past 7/1.) Short-term, I would love to lose another 15ish pounds by my birthday or Christmas this year! Yesterday I spent part of the afternoon trying on old clothes & my pile that needs tailoring (because my waist is getting smaller) is growing!
I'm writing to say, #1 I love strong, silent types; many of you are probably doing the challenge but don't check-in daily. #2 I'm setting up a new challenge for November targeting different muscle groups. Finally, this is a journey and our paths are all different; but one thing that is common is that we have goals. In order to reach our goals, we must be determined, persistent and kind with ourselves. Practice doesn't make us perfect, it makes us better. I hope you join me again as we continue working hard to achieve our health & fitness goals! Happy Sunday!

Day 20 complete!1

Day 20 - most of the way done - 89%. And lots of walking.1

Days 19 to 24 done
Not very good at checking in here daily. I've actually managed to get my wall sits up to 60 seconds without falling on my *kitten* pathetically (measured by my personal trainer!!). I've even had to raise the weights on the arms but could never do the back. That still needs quite a bit of supervised work to avoid undoing all the hard work the past 3 years!
I did blow away my daily step goal for October. 6'500 average per day was my goal and I'm already over. So next month I'll be upping that by 1'000.
@MiamiSeoul awesome on that definition! It feels good to see results and know you're doing something right!
My biceps are coming along nicely too. The more fat I lose, the more awesome they are! (They're actually already a whole lot nicer than one of my male office mate's. Poor guy gets quite a ribbing about a girl outlifting him - we had a competition when they wouldn't believe me. I probably would have gotten more of them but they were too scared to participate. The 'fat girl' showed them were they can stick their comments. ) It'll take a bit more work on the delts and the triceps, but I know that I'll get there as well. I have another 20kg to lose until my doctor's happy with me, but I'm getting there one day at a time.
I've rewarded myself with an awesome new winter coat I fell in love with 3 months ago but couldn't fit into. I was ecstatic that they a) still had it and b) it fit! It's still a wee bit tight but that's added motivation to keep going in the right direction! (a smidgen too expensive to outgrow in the wrong direction! I won't mind outgrowing in the 'too big' direction though)
You can count me in for next month! 3 -

Day 25 complete
(I still have the days from my hiking weekend to catch up... but somehow doubt I'll manage ) 1 -
Day 22 complete.
@ladyreva78 I missed two days when Bella passed & I'm not even going to try to catch-up on those. My muscles can't take it, LOL!2 -
Day 23 done!1
-
The big 23 done. Needed that.! 3
-
Day 27 complete
(worked out with the trainer on 26 and couldn't find the energy to do anything more...)2 -
Haha. Was planning for Tomm and realized I am doing random dates (can't keep my dates straight) and assuming that everyone else is on a same page. So apparently just doing something on whatever day it currently is. Lol.2
-
Hehehe I actually do the days according to date. I miss a date I switch to the next one. Which sometimes means a serious increase in difficulty on the way. I might need to rethink my strategy next time.
As long as you're doing something, I don't think it really matters what order or how often 3 -
-
Making today a total rest day (did get in a 90 minute walk this morning & I may do some stretching tonight). Adding the 30 Day Shred to these October challenges . . . WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?1
-
@MiamiSeoul That working out is good. Ergo working out MORE is even better.
I fell into that trap in the past because it feels good to move. I've learned to know where my limits are. Or ask someone qualified to tell me.
Enjoy your rest day! I'd say it's earned.

I don't exactly get/feel the bridge pullovers - today I just did 50 with 10 pound weights.
