    Hi all. Well we are back from our weekend away. I tried to do well with my food, and I guess the scales will tell all tomorrow morning. 8 hours in the car on both Friday and Sunday meant for very little steps and no exercise, but tomorrow is the beginning of another week.
    I am looking forward to the step challenge this week and will charge my fitbit right now! :wink:

    Great attitude about the start of a new week and new possibilities. Did you enjoy your weekend getaway?

    I did. We went to do some shopping for the wedding and spend time with my brother and his family. We don’t see them often enough so it was great

    Tracking Yes
    Calories Yes
    Exercise Yes, 13 minutes strength training, and 28 minutes on the treadmill to do 3.1 miles (5k) which beats my best ever 5k time by 7 minutes - hate the treadmill but do gotta love the fact that you can set it for the speed you want and you can't slow down without faceplanting lol!

    The fact that you are working out with a broken finger is bad *kitten*!

    The fact that you ran 3k in 28 min is #goalsaf

    You rock!

    *Blushing* Thank you, if I get out of the routine of going to the gym, it'll be hard for me to get back into it, so I figure go and do what I can :)

    Hi all, I'm having some trouble and am going to have to drop from the challenge for the rest of February and all of March. I'll reconnect in April. Be well!

    No fitbit. But I will enjoy cheering for our "Mini Step Challenge" fitbit team members this week! :smiley:

    My goals for this week:
    1. Log daily and stay within my calorie goal
    2. At least 7 hours of sleep each night
    3. At least 30 minutes of daily exercise (some type of activity)
    4. Have a menu plan and prepare meals at home
    5. Remember to take my vitamins daily

    This may seem like a long list of goals. But it's what I'm truly focused on this week in order to reach my bigger goals. So far, for 2018, I'm officially 2.5 pounds behind what my personal goal weight was for today's weigh-in. I would like to see that back on track as I move on with the rest of the year. As I've heard it said many times, "If what you're doing isn't working, then you need to change something!" So this week, I will be kicking it up a bit. I've gotten much more comfortable with the good habits that have been formed. Now it's time to take it up a notch!
