End of the Week Challenge:
Zig Ziglar once said, “If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”
What are you aiming at?
Is it written down?
Will what you’re aiming at change your life? Start a new direction? Help build your legacy? Create health and happiness?
Go ahead. Write it down. And share it here.
The act of committing it to paper, sharing it with friends, and reading it often will help build momentum.
“You don’t have to be great to start. But you have to start to be great.” Joe Sabah

I am aiming at reducing my pain thru food and body management. It most certainly will change my life and put me in a new direction. I will show my friends and family that no matter what, Cyndie does not give up. So yes, it will help build my legacy. My aim will create better health and I have already noticed the effects it has had on my happiness and mental well being. Every day I will do at least one thing, no matter how big or small, to further me to this goal.6

@cyndiesstuff I love the Zig Ziglar quote! I am aiming to be at a healthy weight range. 142 by June 1st. Yes my decision will affect all those around me. I will manifest optimal health and energy and be an influence to my family, friends, co-workers and team members!

Team weight no more who wants to join the daily step challenge? I looked at the spreadsheet and we still have 2 spots free?
Is it now 12 instead of 10? I see other teams seem to have more than 10?

@carlsoda congrats on the grandbaby.
@cyndiesstuff I have been living with arthritis since I was a teenager, knees, shoulder, neck, I have IT syndrome, my hips are out of whack that I lay on the floor and have my husband pull my legs to align them, I also have a bulging disc in my neck. Talk about a mess. I feel your pain. I found losing weight had helped with a lot of the pain. Good luck with finding what is right for you.

@carlsoda Congratulations on the grandbaby!!
@cyndiesstuff My long term aim is to end up healthier in my 40s than I was in my 30s, but that means daily exercise and smart food choices. I feel like these have been the most consistent days of diet and exercise ever, and I'm super motivated to keep going! Short-term aim is to complete this 30 day yoga challenge without missing a day.
Check in for Friday:
logged and somehow under but I'm scared I forgot something.
water 70-80 ounces
exercise: 26 minutes of body jam and 25 minutes of yoga3 -
We need 2 more steppers for Team Weight No More . Thanks to @lenka1 for being on top of things!
@twyla77 didn't you want to join?
My aim is to have a healthy lifestyle I can maintain and still lose weight. It is something I am never going to be done with. Hopefully the losing weight part will be done but I won't be stopping what I am doing. It is going to be a way of life. I have done too many diets that are restrictive and I do lose but regain it back when it is over. It seems to work for others but it doesn't work for me. I have actually changed my exercise habits and water intake though the years and am happy with that. I struggled to drink any water, now it is my main beverage and I have 16 ounces when I get up. I also am so much more active, I never thought I would get in a kayak, bike, hike or actually use our exercise machines. There is always room for improvement but I am proud with how far I have come. I do struggling with food but have come so far since the fall that I am happy with my progress even though I haven't lost much weight. I got through the holidays and logged a loss for the month of December. I am learning to plan my meals and outings. I think this time I am going to do this for good. I have a different mindset.
@cyndiesstuff . How frustrating! I hope you find some relief.
@DananaNanas That's not bad at all! Keep it going!
@Mrsbell8well You have worked so hard and have been so successful! I know you are going to stick to this healthy way of life. I love MovieChairs Blog, I also love Rudenrocks blog. I recommend her too.
@lenka1 Thanks for catching that! They had asked what we thought about increasing the teams but never said that we were doing it.
@eyesopennow Nice loss!
@czvanut Another great day!!

@sleepymom5 yes! CBD oil works! It really does help. My husband (your bday twin) also takes it internally for migraines. It has really helped him.
My goal that I am working towards is to get back down to 137lsh so I can wear my old clothes again and just continue to eat as healthy as I can. I try to buy as much organic food as I can, but obviously can’t afford everything so I try to pick the most risky items. I just really want this to be a lifestyle that I don’t even have to think about.5 -

12 day string on new plan
Yesterday I just felt totally exhausted. I think my crazy chaotic week finally caught up with me. But I stayed the course inspite of it all. it seems to be getting easier to eat the right foods. I got the results of my blood work and all my numbers are in the normal range. My A1C (blood sugar) is finally in a normal rage! It has been borderline diabetic the last two times I had it checked. After the last blood check in March the doctor wanted to start me on medication for it. I told her to let me try and fix it thru diet and exercise first. I started paying closer attention to my macros and carbs. and now I am in the good range! Today I am getting my eyes checked for new glasses and then going to take my son grocery shopping. Then I am coming home and going to work on a few recipes i found that fit into my new food plan.
@lenka1 thanks for catching that addition to the step challenge. they never said they were going to do it. all they ever said was do you think we should.
@ljdanny what is IT syndrome? I am sorry your in pain. It certainly makes life more challenging.
@eyesopennow yes! the scale went down. that is just awesome Mike. now lets keep going that way and build up your momentum.
@czvanut what you have created is a positive forward momentum. all the things that you have been doing are pushing you forward. great job. 2019 is going to be our year.
@sleepymom5 both you and i could not have missed them say they were going to add more steppers. they we think about it but never said they were going to do it. Its a free sight tho i guess so we can't really complain. after all we are all just a bunch of human beings. Pam you have come so far and learnt so much about what you need to be healthy. you are a rock star!!
@twyla77 wowoo look at the string of days. your momentum is showing!!
@carlsoda if you continue to eat and exercise it will become a habit you don't even think about. but it takes time. so don't give up, the time you spend creating these new health habits will save your life.

@Mrsbell8well what a lovely post inspiring
Daily check in
Food over a lot I still got an energy deficit though so I am happy
Water on target
Exercise 20 mins spin
I'm so glad I did my sugar ban with a fine for failure because somebody came into work with an amazing lemon cake and the only thing standing between me and eating that cake was the Threat of giving money to a cause I cannot stand which is great because I really enjoyed my pizza evening and I didn't feel guilty about it especially as I went for a 20 minute spin in my lunch break so although the staff say I've gone over calorie wise I still created an energy deficit and I feel pretty good6 -

Good morning team. I am feeling very thankful for this group this morning. Thanks to all who are part of the team; those who post often and those who stay more quietly in the sidelines.
I am hoping my yoga class does not get cancelled with the snow storm we are getting in Indiana. Currently in my PJs getting ready to start a fire in the fireplace and catch up on some computer work for a while. Then off to start "Tidying." Have a great day team!
@Cafelelia - I am spending much of my day working on the Marie Kondo method in my house too. My 3 girls did their rooms the last few days. So glad that is behind me! I get so much mental benefit from having less stuff around to deal with; especially stuff that we do not use/need.
@carlsoda - Congrats on the new grand baby!!
@sleepymom5 - I use the emeals quick and healthy meal plan for my dinner recipes. I love them! We eat breakfast and lunch less structured/more on our own. I usually eat leftovers and my kids eat more snack style lunches (crackers and cheese and fruit or the like). And I had the same reaction to the Tidying Up show on Netflix. She is so cute! We are working the method in our house this past week and into this weekend. I am hoping to get through my kitchen and bathrooms today. Maybe tackle the linen closet tomorrow.
@cyndiesstuff - Awesome news about your A1C!
