    Hey guys! I'm Colleen, a teacher and mom of 4 busy kids. I love avacados, lol.
    Last month I didnt lose weight, as I was stuck at 143. However, I got back into my 5am gym routine before school which helped me feel healthier and I am finally sleeping!
    This month I will try to check in daily!
    Track: yes

    Hi All, flying back from Texas as we speak on wifi on my plane...was a little more disconnected than usual last week (and more than I expected) due to travel delays and craziness...but all returns to normal tomorrow! Have only been home a total of 12 hours since Tuesday and I spent at least half of those sleeping as I arrived home at 2AM Thursday night (Friday morning) and left for the airport again at 2pm Friday afternoon. Will get home about 10pm tonight so hoping to relax and get to bed early tomorrow and get back on track after 3 nights in a row of getting to bed after 2 AM!

    Welcome to April! I'll introduce myself properly tomorrow! I've enjoyed reading all the new posts from our new team members and refreshing on our carryover crew. Hope everyone who is celebrating is having a wonderful holiday weekend.

    April 1:
    Exercise: yes
    Calories: yes
    Tracked: yes

    The RV is currently parked outside Sedona, next stop, the Grand Canyon. I forgot to check my fasting glucose the first two mornings, so I put the monitor on the table to get back in the habit. It will be interesting to see the results, as I did allow myself some Easter candy: two servings over the course of the day. Even with that, my calories have been coming in closer to my day to day goal than my slightly relaxed vacation goal. The nice thing about being the driver and the cook: I have a lot of control over my foods.

    Thanks for the heads up @sunderland_mich93 - I had to disconnect and reconnect my Fitbit twice this weekend to get my steps to log, it worked each time but I don't want to have to keep doing that!

    I was finally able to get it to connect after about 4 days of not having it. Hopefully the maintenance issue is figured out now.

    Weigh-in week: Week 1
    Weigh-in day: Monday
    Previous week's weight: 194.2
    Current weight: 190.8

    Having a great start to April! February and most of March were pretty tough, but these past two weeks have been good to me. I can’t wait to get out of the 190s! I’m so close!

    I want to recommend the Nike Training app for those who might be looking for free home workouts or for workouts to get you started. They have workouts for all different levels and let you choose your purpose (endurance, mobility, etc.). I particularly appreciate their active recovery workouts. They keep me moving when I feel too sore to walk.

    It’s great, especially if you’re nervous about going to a group class and being the most out of shape person there. I used to be afraid I couldn’t keep up, but this app and cardio at the gym got me to the point where I felt I could do it. Went to my first group class in maybe 3 years this past Friday. I definitely struggled at times, but I wasn’t the only one, and I killed it on the cardio portions. I’m going to more classes this Wednesday and Friday.
