I did not count steps today... rest day today for me. But I will put on my Fitbit now and get in some steps. Congratulations to everyone on their success. Last week was better for me due to challenges and Hoping to have another good week. Any other challenges going on which we can participate?
I'm so glad it is going well for you and that the challenges help. I know having all of your voices in my head helps a lot! There will be a new challenge posted some time today for this week, and there will also be another internal team waistaways challenge, I'm sure! No matter what the challenges are, keep posting here and we promise to be your conscience

Motivation Monday: here is one for actions, and one for attitude ...
Post your own, and react to what others post.
If you can't find or upload an image, type out a quote or just tell us what kinds of thoughts / images / visualizations / music .... (whatever) helps YOU prompt progress towards getting through what has to be done.

Upbeat music helps me focus and get through things that don't require analytical attention. Could be doing dishes. Could be on headphones at work for some of the more routine storage-room work I sometimes have to wade through.3

Whenever the word motivation comes up, FEARLESS MOTIVATION comes to mind. @Navydaddjtc introduced me to this a few months back and this is what I listen to when I am doing my runs. Nothing has pushed me harder than listening to this especially when I’m trying to complete a 5K.

Well, I continued to lose a bit of weight this week. Basically down 10 pounds this year. I am eating well (although I did indulge in veggie pizza yesterday)..
For a SUCCESSFUL SUNDAY post - My husband bought me an Apple Watch 4 as an early birthday gift yesterday because I am getting gradually back to walking. So far about 8000 steps today, although it doesn't generate exercise minutes at my current pace. But at least I am moving!
It has a meditation reminder on it, which I really like, now I just pause every few hours and BREATHE!
Be well, everyone.
10 lbs is such an amazing achievement! It sounds like you are now feeling much better and slowly getting back into your normal routine. That’s so cool that you got an Apple Watch for your birthday. I had one for a couple of years and that breathe feature is great. Well done to your hubby!1 -
Weighing in today.

So, kids are out (except the one with the vomiting bug :-( )
I am very very happy with my loss!
A major milestone for me as I weigh myself in kg and haven't been under 90 for a very long time!!
I cheated a bit so wasn't sure I would loose as well but I guess my day in bed with some mistery virus has balanced that out.
When I craved sugar, I did cheat a bit but then went to read some success stories and that really reminded me why I'm doing this and got me back on track! Amazing stories, totally inspiring!
This week I'm getting serious about working out (hopefully!) And commiting to the abs challenge.
Good luck everyone!4 -

Oh no....not easy having poorly kids at home. I do hope it passes quickly and everyone is bug free soon. You have done so well considering your mystery virus. I think it is a great idea to look to others for inspiration when our own begins to fade out. Keep up the great work and good luck with the abs challenge. I started today as well and have posted my progress in that challenge thread.2 -
Motivation Monday ...
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always be where you've always been."
Routine is comfortable. Change is hard and sometimes scarey. But tomorrow cannot be different if today is the same.5 -

Boo. I weigh myself daily and I did see a 176 weight last week, but guess I'm just in an upward fluctuation today. It's all good. I know it will go back down with continued good eating and working out

@GettingFitTash
Thanks for updating your steps, but sadly it was too late for the week's calculations in the competition between teams! I know life gets in the way, but try to send in your steps for the week always by end of day SATURDAY. I stay up late to make sure they are all entered in the spreadsheet and then the results are figured out on Sunday by the moderators. We would have been 3rd this week with all your awesome steps in there!!!
Sick and sick family is a great reason to be late, though - hope everyone is feeling better

So will our late steps count for the team for month overall too, or just not for last week?0 -
