"The key is this: Meet today's problems with today's strength.Don't start tackling tomorrow's problems until tomorrow. You do not have tomorrow's strength yet. You simply have enough for today" - Max Zucado
Come and join us for walk through November. The weather here is supposed to be much nicer than October.
It is the time to be thinking about our new individual monthly challenge goals!
We are open to all walkers no matter where you walk - indoors or out. Post your day, good or bad and we will applaud or pick you up if need be, offer support, motivate or inspire you.
Set your personal goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. This is your own personal goal
. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.
It doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to walk for the remaining days in the month. You are always welcome
!
So if you are new to the group please feel free to start today so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your health goals. It is never too late to join in
Tie up those walking shoes and get some water, and let's start walking !

I am so ready for this challenge! My new Fitbit flex 2 is working (I think). I will be using walking, swimming, and peddling. Today when I enter the pool I will take note of how many steps I have before I go in and then how many steps I have after I get out. I think it's working. Have a super Halloween and I will see you guys tomorrow!
Thank you so much Lily May for starting the challenge again...very much appreciated!0 -

Finally!! However I do hurt this morning. I did a lot of lifting big heavy pots. Digging in the garden trying to get rid of the chickweed. I didn't finish so hopefully we didn't get to much rain last night. I did get my new wagon put together. It is so much better, I only have to lift the planters a foot off the ground.0 -

Thanks for those nice words first of all!
I got the fit bit flex 2 I like it a lot except for the fact that it does not hold a charge you have to charge it like every two or three days I think
It does count my steps are strokes in the water you have to set that up and know the length of the pool and put that information in otherwise it works really good she told me it's sort of works like on a Wii board same thing and knows it's in the water

I am still fat however and 15 pounds over what I should weigh. And it's really making me depressed! I'm not doing very good food wise
I believe it's a good diet plan however I eat too much
My selections are very healthy on the most part lots of vegetables fresh fruit lean protein but I just eat too much
I need to watch portions of the food that I do eat that's my problem
Going to make today a perfect day food wise0 -

Portion control is really hard for me when I am physically active. I try to fill up on water. If I don't oatmeal and hemp hearts for breakfast I will eat constantly during the day. I have rearranged snacks, making sure to have an apple and sometimes with almond butter, in the afternoon. Not sure if that helps.0 -

Worked outside again today. I left some lighter tasks for today so my grandkids can play at them with me. I am sure it will be fun to load crushed rock in a Tonka truck and haul rocks to the edging around the house0 -

It happens, some of the things that help me are prelogging and try by starting with your focus on one meal a day. Pick one meal that is weighed/measured and prelogged and go from there. I also struggle with preplanning my snacks, it works so much better when I don't have to think about what I want when I snack and eat what I've planned.

The stiffness and soreness is starting to go away. Did a lot of stretching yesterday and will again today. The weather is holding so will get some crushed rock moved. 2 big pots to move too. Then some bookworm to catch up on. Busy day.0 -
No Sugar . . . I am trying a new approach no sweets/sugar (other than my coffee) for 5 days per week. I seems to work but I do have to note it on my calendar the no sweets days or I forget until after I have indulged.
It's funny how I would see that 'no sugar' thing and tend to think people were overdoing things but limiting sugar sure does make you feel better!!!0 -

I am cheering for you. I gave up added sugar about 4 years ago. Now when I eat sweets I wake up the next morning with a very bad headache and an awful taste in my mouth. My Naturapath told me it takes 9 months to remove sugar out of your body.0 -

I really have to stop being polite to people when I am invited out for dinner. The last couple of dinner parties had 3 desserts each and everyone....everyone!!! Was so pushy. Today I think I am sort of back to normal. The headaches have gone away but my legs still hurt a bit.0 -

Survived the carrot digging yesterday!! I was the person who sat and cut tops off. then I mowed the grass around my property and winterized. Came home and cleaned my carrots, bagged and put away.
I seem to be stuck at a plateau so will have to assess my diary and see what is holding back the weight loss. Clothes are getting loose, but the scale isn't moving!!0 -

Stuck in the house today. Will need to make a point to go out and get my walk in.1 -
I will get in here later in the day and update my steps. I have not been great this past week. But still am using my fit bit.
My dessert last night was 30 pistachios (south beach diet) and a vita top...it was the little energy loaf...just right...and tea.
First time in FOREVER that I stuck to my plan with dessert. I am giving up my healthy choice fudge bars and sugar free ice cream. I feel better today with the pistachios and vita top thing.
Back later girls. Today is
