    In case you missed it, our fearless leader @Kres567 posted the F2F group challenge on the main group page at https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10727684/february-week-3-group-challenge#latest

    I'm trying #4. I started easy with one bottle today. Friday should be interesting, however. :)

    I’m going to do #1 - normally I do one or two formal workouts per week but I’m going for 4. I’ve done 2 so far - Sunday and Monday.

    Really need to get refocused this week. It was a long weekend for us Canadians and I lost track of MFP habits.

    My goals for today:
    1. Walk at lunch - it’s finally warming up here! Only 9 degrees below 0!
    2. Drink 100oz of water
    3. Eat mindfully
    4. Try to fit in a formal treadmill workout after work.

    Weigh in week:  Week 3
    Weigh in day: Tuesday
    Previous Weight: 218.6
    Todays Weight: 218.4

    Ugghhhh what the heck is wrong with me!! I have lost a whole .2 lbs for the month so far. I have a WW Facebook group where many of them are doing Intermittent Fasting. I'm seriously thinking about giving it a try and seeing if I can shake things up.

    I did just get done doing my 60-minute workout on the treadmill. Top speed was 3.6 with a 4 incline, but that was for only a few minutes at a time. B)


    Steps:
    2/18-5046 (yesterday was a day off from working out)

    Seriously?? My (un-diagnosed) OCD needed you to take one less step. LOL!!

    Nice step count, otherwise!!

    For those having a rough day... here is something that another MFP friend posted on their wall today:

    "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. You don't want to go for a 30 minute walk, maybe just go for a 2 minute walk. You don't want eat rice, chicken, and broccoli, maybe just the chicken with some sauce, and rice. Brushing your teeth a hassle and 2 minutes seems too long? Just brush them for 30 seconds. 10%, 40% or 80% is better than doing nothing at all. Progress takes small victories. Go out and earn yours."

    Tuesday check in
    Cals fine/water fine/steps - just over 15,000

    I’m inadvertently on day 2 of no chocolate/crisps. In the evenings when I’m prone to snack, I’ve been having a bowl of high’ish fibre cereal with milk. It’s sweet enough to fix my cravings. You never know I might actually succeed at a challenge😬

    Sounds excellent, a good idea there!!!!!

    That is a good idea! I love cereal - as long as it’s crunchy it could help the cravings.

    Tuesday check in
    Calories - under
    water - pretty good
    exercise - 4 mile run

    Legs were sore and tired from squats and deadlifts yesterday, so I cut the run short. Hopefully tomorrow will go better.

    I learned yesterday about the death of one my former students. I was pretty emotional and struggling last night, but have managed to pull myself back together today.
    One day at a time.....
