Sorry for not being present these past few days everyone, I had to let a girl go last week at work and we are pulling a little double duty right now until the new year. With the holiday coming up it seems to get busy along with the bad weather

Hey TEAM ONE! I've been overwhelmed with work stress, but I'm here and plugging away on my exercise minutes. I want to have a strong finish for the team in our last week! I added some yoga on to my dog walk and running today to get over 100 minutes.
I haven't picked for sure which challenge I'm going to repeat, but probably the hiking the na pali coast or the turkey trot 5k. I will do one of those as an addition above and beyond my normal run schedule. If I can't manage because of snow - we are supposed to get hit with lake effect starting tomorrow - I will probably substitute with the dancing videos from Peru (I liked the salsa feel).
For Challenge #3, my healthy goals are:- Dasher - continue running consistently 5-6 days/week
- Dancer - regular dog walks with Stella 1-2 times/day
- Prancer - long hikes with Stella on the weekend
- Vixen - add in yoga more often - 2x week or more
- Comet - meal planning and grocery shopping ahead of time for at least 3 dinners a week
- Cupid - continue logging EVERYTHING - stay at or below maintenance calories
- Donner - get back into habit of measuring portions more consistently using food scale, and add more veggies
- Blitzen - take walking breaks at work
- And, of course, Rudolph! - the NEW thing I want to try is CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING! I won a season pass to a place with awesome trails and that has ski rental so I am all set up to try it. I'm also going to Lake Placid for a few days before Christmas so can try it there too! So excited to give this a try. I've always wanted to but didn't have the gear and wasn't in shape, but now I'm ready to make it happen.

1. Up my water intake each day.
2. Really work on my sleep habits, being tired equals bad eating habits, for me at least
3. Eat more veggies
4. Get back in the walking outdoor habit
5. Live each day as it comes
6. Be more present on MFP, the support really keeps me on track.
7. Review my printed out diaries and repeat menus that worked.
8. Eliminate all sweets.
9. I plan to start getting massages to relieve the stress at work and give me a better attitude to win this battle.5 -
I'm a tired puppy, but I had a productive day! Two Zumba sessions, two walks at work, finished the abs videos, and ended with a Rajio Taiso just for the stretch!
Tomorrow I have my teaching evaluation by the new Vice Principal. I have to teach a kiddo how to do word problems using quadratic equations!
Eek! I'll be glad when that's over! On the good side, one of "my girls" graduated today! That is always such a happy occasion at our school! 
I'm trying my best to get my numbers in before the weekend. Dad is out of the hospital (YAY!) and we are driving up Saturday to see him. 5 hours in the car on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday. SO, I probably won't be able to get my full 1000 minutes in, but I'm going to try my very best!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK TEAM!7 -
Sorry for not being active on board. I have been exercising and will post right now times. I have been walking during my hour lunch and after work with hubby. With all the treats for holidays want to not gain weight so walking and videos is my best way to fight this battle.
I am working on my 9 items and will post tomorrow. Have a good night all.5 -

@MissionEnforcer Challenge #3 -- I was on a roll and added two more!
1. Keep doing my 4:30 am work-outs.
2. Try to get to bed around 10 pm.
3. Get a better balance of cardio and weight training. More lifting routines.
4. Use MFP for daily food and exercise tracking
5. Wear my fitbit to remind myself to move. Especially at work.
6. Limit artificial sweeteners, NO sucralose (except in yogurt).
7. If I have the urge to eat, think about it first. Is it emotions, stress, hunger? Find something else to do if it isn’t hunger.
8. If I go off my normal eating plan, limit it to one day.
9. Enjoy the outdoors no matter the season or weather!-- I have all the layers of clothing!
10. Be more flexible at home. Say yes more to the little things that don’t really matter.
My new challenge: Every year I look at the lists of group cycling rides with the park system and cycling clubs. I write the dates down on my calendar, post the flyers on the fridge. I always say I am going to do an organize ride and then back out. – This year I will do one!

I hope everybody is safe this weekend with all the lake effect snow. Awful here! Interstate 90 is closed in both directions with a 50 car, 15 semi pile up at our exit. 19 people at the hospital. It was one of those days that I hated knowing that both my daughters were on the road, one to work, one home from work and they take 90. Both are ok, but sometimes being a mom is tough!3

I understand we have been a little stressed here and worrying about family members who were driving but glad everyone is safe at home now. Glad your family is safe.

Thank you for all the nice wishes! The evaluation went great! I sure feel better now that it is over!
@aenglehardt347, someone else got you covered in the spreadsheet. I like your screen saver idea. @120maggie & the rest of you being hit by the storm, please be safe! I am so glad your loved ones made it home!

Added my morning wo . We are 97% there!!! We will hit Vancouver momentarily I'm sure! Been doing some of the different week workouts but @MissionEnforcer my official one is Rajio Taiso. I sent the link to work and have done it daily. I want to keep doing something to get me out of my office chair!! It is a winter driving nightmare here. I got points with our owner being the first one in. @hawkins410 we knew you would breeze through those Quadratic equations!!!5
