1. What was the best workout move you’ve ever done? And the worst?
2. What’s the best recipe you’ve EVER made?
3. What’s the most recent diet/plan you've been following?
4. Tell us about your first ever Gym day.
5. What’s your favorite place to workout? Why?
6. Share with us a fun workout experience you’ve had recently.
7. What is your favorite workout song.
8. How long have you been with our F2F group?
9. What’s your favorite sport or physical activity?
10. What’s your favorite healthy dish to cook for friends? For just you?
11. What is your favorite workout attire?
12. When/what time do you prefer to workout?
13. What’s your morning ritual like?
14. How do you get your workout in on a rainy day?
15. Can you share one quote or saying you love, that keeps you going?
16. Which person in your life do you most admire? Why?
17. If you could go back in time and change history, what would you change? Why?
18. What would you do in life if you knew you couldn’t fail?
19. Group workouts or workout on your own?
20. What would you tell your past self knowing what you know now?
I'm quoting this so that anyone who wants to have fun answering some more questions can see them again.
I need to give this a lot of thought because I cannot answer most of them, partly because I’m weak on the exercise thing. This is my first month with F2F. It’s been good.
I think the exercise I enjoy most is working in my garden, walking and playing tennis. None of which I’ve done lately. So for now, I wrangle my 9 month old granddaughter five days a week for 10 hours. That is surely exercise, right?3 -
I was a bit discouraged that I haven't been able to break below 142 (keep hovering at, then slipping back up a bit, then hovering at again over the month).
But today I took the 3 measurements needed for the US Military Body Fat % calculation website - they were down from Jan 2 - and the resulting calculation was 1.5% lower!!!!
I feel MUCH better now - the weight may be mostly plateauing, but changes ARE happening!
If anyone else seems to be plateauing even though they are doing all the right things and logging properly, maybe that is the case with you too!3 -

Heres an interesting graphic to consider that I have used in the past that might be helpful. I am not sure I buy all the stuff under support column, but the colours get you thinking about variety.
This is great fun! I just know the more vegetables on the plate in the biggest variety possible, the better I feel. I'll put this together to post as our Week 5 Challenge that goes up tomorrow. Thanks!0 -

I'm sure this is not what you wanted to see, but not all that bad for a week where you're feeling poorly and can't exercise. You will bounce back quickly as you start feeling better!0 -

Thank you Jan. It really isn't but I cant be too hard on myself. I know that when I am all better I always give it 110% everyday. I am allowed to not feel well sometimes and to slow down. Thanks for the love. x

Rainbow colour chart is so important to get the veggies in, I keep telling myself you have to eat them to protect my brain because I don't want another tumour and to keep your memory sharp.1

If that is not a great reason to make gorgeous plates full of all the colours, I don't know what is.1 -
