Keep it up, BMcC9! Is all of your hard work reflected on the scale? RE: middle, crunches, scissors, leg lifts
Yes it is, in that another 3 pounds down in Nov (given how close I am go goal and not doing heavy-burn exercise that is right at the rate I want) In my other rolling monthly thread I got an "Honorable Mention" at the end of the month (have to check their spreadsheet to see if it was for pounds lost or % lost - most likely %)
How abut yourself?0 -
This is from the thread where I was an "Honourable Mention" (2nd on my team for % lost this past week)
I thought it might be fun to try ....Happy Sunday everyone! The Week 1 Group Challenge is brought to you by the Mission Slimpossibles - Roll of the Dice. I didn't create a separate thread for this one. I thought you could just play within your team thread.
Each day this week - starting Monday - roll one dice or the virtual dice found here https://www.random.org/dice/.
Whatever number you get incorporate the corresponding action to your day. Have fun!
Roll a 1 - Post a motivational or funny meme for your team.
Roll a 2 - Drink your required water for the day. Some people aim for 100oz and some half of their body weight in ounces.
Roll a 3 - Pre-plan your meals for the day
Roll a 4 - Do the activity on both of the Advent Calendars in the Moderators Challenge.
Roll a 5 - Get outside and enjoy some fresh air - maybe a walk, run or bike ride
Roll a 6 - Identify one small habit you want to change or focus on in 2019 and make a plan on how you might accomplish it in 2019.
A variety of Advent exercise calendars (like the one mentioned for "Roll a 4") can be found in Google Images and probably in Pinterest.

How abut yourself? Yes, thank goodness, I lost the weight I gained over Thanksgiving. Really trying to maintain this month and start 2019 strong. Thanks for the Roll of the Dice link. I will try it next week.

@MoStacy , I KNEW you would process the Thanksgiving glut within a week or so, especially with what your activity log was showing! Keep at it! Life is what happens while we are making other plans, and your lifestyle-change plan will have to accommodate that kind of thing now and again (annually) ... and now you know you can!
It's a ... "circle of life" ... thing .... (cue Lion King soundtrack cd ... )1 -

BMcC9, you haven’t missed a day - impressive!
"Not missing a day " isn't so impressive when my target minimum is 20 minutes (usually more) at home in front of the TV ... more often than not before supper. If I weren't so into my virtual world game, I could even do exactly the same thing (or more) without ever missing a fave TV fix.
Now ... The Universe must have been listening in as I composed the above in my head, because I rolled the dice before replying, and got a "5" .... Go outside and get some fresh air! (and brushing snow off the car doesn't count - even if there was any ... which there isn't today .... )
Your regular strength training on top of cardio (which I take to signal regular trips to a gym in your most-days routine) is VERY impressive to me. Just plain showing up at the out-of-house location regularly!

Move beyond Cardio-Only as my default daily routine, by keeping up improving the push-up strength/count until I can do standard (straight leg, on the floor) style AND KEEP ON DOING THEM .... plus add in "Dead Bugs" and hip lifts to tighten my core.0 -
