Sorry all, I kind of let us all down today. I did my first 15 minutes of stretching this morning but then we got some sad news. Our youngest daughter is miscarrying their baby that was due in July. I spent most of the morning trying to get her into see a doctor and then most of the afternoon with her there while her husband watched their two boys. I will try to do better tomorrow.0

@tarpguys I'm so sorry. My prayers to you and your family.
@carinamenina -Wow, you don't even look like the same person. Great job!
I got in 80 minutes yesterday, but only had 6 flights of stairs, so I need to catch up. Yesterday was the 7th year anniversary of my daughter passing away from complications from H1N1/pneumonia, so kind of a rough day. The exercising helped keep my mind off of it a little though. Today I have to go to a funeral for a family friend, so a rough week in general.

All i need to do is stay under calories one more day and i got this week in the bag. The remainder of my minutes is gonna be easy peasy too.
WELL DONE SMASHERS !!!3 -
There is nothing I can really say about this week. I had to do a presentation for my history seekers. It went well but it is a ton of but time. I say this only because it makes me really understand how much work goes into these challenges. I got to the gym last night and up this morning to get the videos done. I got 900 of those stairs done on the stairmaster and then I had to get on the treadmill. I wanted to get them all done so I did another 200. I am getting closer. Weekends are really rough for me the calorie thing. I am so done with this yo-yo thing. I would say I also had visitor tues & wed., pot luck on Monday but No pity party. This is a challenge not a record of -more of crappy habits.

@tarpguys I am so sorry for your family's loss I'm praying for healing and comfort for you all during this time.
@lynnbaum Way to go! It sounds like your mind is in the right place. It's hard to make time to work out and eat right almost every day, but then it wouldn't be a challenge.
I talked to Shan and right now she's having issues getting onto the community thread. She's still smashin' it though!3 -
@tarpguys Sorry for your family's loss. I've had three myself and it sucks.
@aim630 Sorry about your loss also. This has probably been a tough week for you.
I'm sitting at the doctor's with my daughter again today. We just found out that she has scoliosis. It's not a bad case, but it explains her back pain. Sounds like we start with physical therapy and hope that helps.
I only need 200 more minutes to max out. Feeling pretty proud about that. I'll try and sneak something in today between doctor's appointments, a basketball game, and dialysis.I got this!0 -
I'm so sorry to hear of the sad things going on with my team! I truly care for each and every one of you, and I don't want anyone to be hurting!
@lynnbaum you're doing okay! Sometimes life gets in the way, just keep your head straight and looking in front of you, not behind!!
Yes I did talk to @ShansGotGoals too! She apologized for the lack of communication, but she's killin it! Hopefully we'll get her in here soon.2 -
Hopefully my exciting day will bring some light around here. The scale finally budged! I'm about done with week one of my new workout plan and it's pushing me outside of my comfort zone and has me doing new and different things, which I'm excited about. It's called LG Sisters Get Strong, and after just 5 days I am sure feeling strong!! Change is important in the fitness game, you don't ever want your body getting used to the exercises it's doing, then you won't see change.
From the beginning of my 6 week look for love challenge through Tone It Up that went from 1/1/17 to today, I only lost 1.8 pounds, but I also lost 7 1/4 inches.
Progress not perfection, friends!!

In other good news - we're closing the gap to first place!! Team 1 is pretty much keeping the lead because of challenge points. We've all completed the challenges in the previous weeks and I have complete confidence we'll do it again this week.
I'm taking a concealed carry class this weekend, Saturday and Sunday 9-5 so I'll be limited on my check in time as I'm going to do my best to still be able to work out, meal prep, have family time, and just take care of real life stuff. If I seem to be MIA, I apologize! If you all could just keep up on the spreadsheet and maybe reach out to non-loggers sometime on Sunday to help me out I'd appreciate it! I'll be giving @carinamenina [co-captain] a heads up, too. But team work makes the dream work, Smashers!4 -

I got in a quick run this morning (it was so warm--57 degrees! at 6am! in February!) and I am planning on a walk for my lunch break. I promise to do the balance challenge tonight. Tomorrow is my long run. 11 miles. I'll also do some low impact exercise to recover after teh run, and I'm sure I'll get some active minutes in the afternoon/evening because we're watching my nieces, so including my two boys, we'll have five kids ages 1-9 to run after. It's gonna be fun.2

Hi all! I am back from my conference. We had a great time. This conference always gets me started working for the year. I have picked 3 really big projects that will force me to work. That means have to start getting organized and managing my time better. I figure mornings will be for e exercise, afternoons for work.
I will work on the balance videos this evening. I am on track for the calorie challenge tomorrow. I didn't get any cardio today because I needed to pick up the fog from the kennel.
The hotel we stayed in had a ton of stairs, so I think I did that challenge twice this week. I find actual stairs so much easier than the damn stair climber!
@carinamenina : I am sooo envious of your weather. It is freezing here! I would love a nice run outside. I hope it warms up here soon!

Hi everyone. So sorry i haven't been participating much this week. I twisted my ankle Monday evening and was told to keep off it for a few days then promptly came down with a bad bug on Tuesday. On the way to recovery today. I have completed the step challenge (one legged, hope I get extra credit for that!
). Unfortunately I did not get much exercise in the past few days hobbling around. I'm trying to make up as much as I can between today and Sunday. Updating the spreadsheet as we speak. 7 -
I just checked the spreadsheet and we are finally closing the gap on first. We are now 90 minutes down and we have been over 100 most of the week, so that's a big improvement
We also have 6 people in the top 25 ranks this week so far !! NICELY DONE SMASHERS !!! We have 2 more days to kick some but so lets not give up yet !!
LET'S KEEP ON SMASHING IT !!!

Life is full of ups and downs and sometimes the downs are very, very down. Love to you and yours.
