Veggies to go with dinner was up to me, went digging through the freezer and came across soybeans. Woohoo!! Another food marked off the list. 0

Ate foods from the list again today. Salmon and black beans on the menu for tomorrow, As for the booty challenge, I won't be finishing it. I have a nagging bursitis type pain in my hip, I can't find a comfortable position to sit or lay. Need to get healthy for the start of the race.0

@lbenson2006 . A nutritional/hydration challenge would nice. Stretching or yoga poses also doable so I can rest my hip.2

Sounds good. Will work on it. I definitely need to focus on my water intake and I always love yoga!!0 -

I'm up for a healthy challenge or two this week! Although I've learned that I'm not as likely to finish/track these challenge unless I know there are points or miles on the line for Team 2.0 -
I ate each of the foods on the healthy eating list with the exception of the milk (I never drink milk but I do have almond milk in my coffee every morning, does that count?) and quinoa. I do eat quinoa but didn't get it in this week.
I did not do the booty challenge although I remain active and have exercised every day this week.0 -

Sure let's count the almond milk...then I've got that and now salmon and olive oil down.

Ok, you got me off on a yoga tangent....couldn't decide between these. At first I was thinking to do one of the morning ones with the better sleep one. Then there was the hips one. I just couldn't decide, so here are a few different links. Mix and match, find one you like and stick with it...whichever you choose, I say we shoot for the stars and try to incorporate one or more of them into our daily life this week...even if it's only for a few minutes.
As for the accountability piece, we will work on the water one...you know the drill half your weight in ounces each day. Do 5 of 7 but if you can get it in every day this week, that's spectacular!! Also, for those that aren't struggling with this piece of their journey, one thing I know I stink at is working on my macros. I say try to pay more attention to your macros, see where you are derailing and could use some improvement. Bonus for getting within 5% on each macro. Happy final week of these little mini challenges!!

Thank you Leslie! I appreciate these mini challenges to keep me motivated.

Tried these 3 this morning. It was my yoga day anyway, so I did these instead. One morning one took me about 8 minutes, the 2nd morning one I did took about 5 minutes, and the hip one took me about 27 minutes and that was just holding the poses for 5 deep breaths which was about 40 seconds vs the 1-2 minutes they suggest. I have to be careful on the pigeon ones because they tend to hurt my knees.

Leslie, on the first link you posted can you do the bottom pose on the left???0
-
Did the first 3 links, each pose 10 deep breaths. I am not very limber in my hips , thighs, hamstrings.1

Within 5% of each macro is going to be tough for me. I have my protein set fairly high, and sometimes I don't even come close. And sometimes I'm way under on fats, too. I'll try though. The water should be easy, since I've been drinking a lot of it lately.
Will attempt the yoga for sure. 0 -

Definitely not. I hope some day to be that flexible but not near that. In my yoga videos, that typically follows the pigeon pose which for some reason I just can't get down & have to be careful with because of the knee thing. I wish I had taken a class so that I could get better instruction & ask questions. However, with that pose, I just try the pigeon piece to the best of my abilities and then basically do a quad stretch with the other leg. My hips are typically pretty tight as well, but when I do keep up with the yoga I can notice increased flexibility.1 -
Hit my water goal for the day but fell off the wagon...HARD...today. Protein was ridiculously low while fat was too high. Hopefully will do better tomorrow.

So far, so good...evening was my weakness yesterday though!! Lol. Should be able to hit my water, did a little bit of yoga this morning, and with dinner logged, I am within 5% on my macros. Need to try to plan my after dinner snack to have less carbs and maybe a little more fat and protein. I am not very good at looking at these though and trying to plan out my food accordingly. That's one of my next baby steps and trying to make healthier choices more often. I figure though that it is a lifelong journey with continual room for improvement. 1

The chances of yoga today are low. I worked long hours due to call in and I just want to go to bed. Forgetting to measure my water intake, but keeping water bottle full and next to me throughout my day.0

I get that, if I had to work out after I got home, it would be very difficult to make myself. Hope you get a good night's rest.0 -
I failed at going to the gym yesterday.
The BF worked extra late last night, and was exhausted. (I was also tired) we watched GoT instead. Was a blast, but stayed up later than I wanted. I at least did my lunch walk (Almost talked myself out of doing it)
I have officially lost 45 pounds so far! 5.8 pounds to onderland.3 -

Congratulations on your weight loss! Boom! I'm working on my weight too and I know the work and dedication it takes to get rid of every pound.1 -
@kimmy5280 Thank you so much. I want to be about 180 come late spring early summer. I want to go to red rocks and run the stairs at least once. Okay maybe huff my way up them.1

Got the yoga done. Could not skip it again even though had to stay even later tonight at work. Been drinking water throughout the day again.1
