    Sunday, July 15 mini challenge
    Logged: yes
    Under calories: yes
    Exercise:6 mile run
    Steps: 20,139

    I got in a strong 6 mile run, but still somehow barely made my calorie goal. We have Sunday dinner every week at my mom's, and I guess I just ate too much. Saturday was also a bust, and today (Monday) isn't looking great either! I better step up my game, summer fun is getting to me :)

    @annabananamc, glad to hear that your mom's doing well! Sometimes, in a hospital, there's nothing to do BUT walk!! Glad you were able to take advantage of it!

    @enyagoboom, congratulations on passing your exam!! Phew!! But I disagree....it is health related, because stress affects our overall health, and you were stressing about it!!

    I haven’t been able to log into the community section for a while! But I’ve been consistent 🤸🏾‍♂️

    @drea2011, I find it hard to believe that you were consistent (NOT!) Now I can tabulate the Mini Challenge results....I waited because I knew you'd post a bunch of "yes's"!!

    Tracked, at, and lots and lots of walking. I'm beginning to think that I may need to stretch before and/or after my walks. I've felt achy even as I'm proud that my cardio has increased. Enjoyed a lovely jazz fest today ;)

    @ForLangston, I think the current wisdom is to only stretch warm muscles, so do some static stretches when you return from your walk. If you feel a little niggle while you are walking, stop and stretch that out before continuing.

    Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge - July Week #2 (Sun the 7th to Sat the 13th)

    This week for the Mini Challenge we had 14 participate, down from 20 the week before, but everyone that participated put in a Notable Effort or better!! No one just attempted...everyone was in it to win it!! We had four in the Winner's Circle, up from three the week before, but sadly Christine, @cmhubbard92, did not make it back there. Her streak at the top ends at 22 consecutive weeks, one week short of the all time record set by Heather, @heaz10, many moons ago! Congratulations, Christine on five very strong months! You may not hold or share in the record, but I am sure your 35 plus pounds lost is reward enough!!

    Winner's Circle - 6 or 7 days:
    @Caronell (7) - improved on her Notable Effort from last week to land in the Winner's Circle!!
    @drea2011 (7) - 8th week in a row in the Winner's Circle!!
    @abowersgirl (6) - only attempted last week; this week lands in the Winner's Circle!!
    @Jeaniece1 (6) - 2nd week in a row in the Winner's Circle!!

    Notable Effort - 4 or 5 days:
    @annabananamc (5) - puts in another Notable Effort this week!!
    @cmhubbard92 (5) - her streak comes to an end, but she did still put in a Notable Effort!!
    @murdog3t (5) - only attempted last week; this week puts in a Notable Effort!!
    @susanpiper57 (5) - only attempted last week; this week puts in a Notable Effort!!
    @Nicoletime4me (5*) - only attempted last week; this week puts in a Notable effort!!
    @erikNJ (4) - only attempted last week; this week puts in a Notable Effort!!
    @ForLangston (4) - puts in another Notable Effort!!

    @swauters (4) - puts in another Notable Effort!!

    As I said before we had four in the Winner's Circle, one more than last week. @drea2011 and @Jeaniece1 were joined at the top by @Caronell and @abowersgirl. Congratulations to all four for an outstanding week!! Of note, Drea and Carrie were accountable for ALL SEVEN DAYS!! Well done!!

    mon mini challenge

    Pretty poor......a very long nightshift got the better of me. I got home, ate breakfast followed by ice cream and chocolate buttons. By lunch time I had consumed my daily allowance of calories! So I lay on the sofa, snoozed and had a very early night. No steps in, let alone exercise!

    Tracking: yes (even though it wss mostly ice cream!)
    Calories: over by 40
    Exercise: 😂😂😂 no

    Tues mini challenge

    I must have subconsciously felt the need to make up for Monday as I exercised like a demon!! I've taken great pleasure in looking at my calorie deficit.

    Tracking: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: yes

    I'm actually really mad at myself for this! I was actually under for 6 days, but a copy error led to me being only under for "5". The 12th I posted that I was not under, but I remember only going under on the 11th. So I checked my food log to be sure.

    Sure enough, 1,500+ calories left that day. I wish i had caught this before the results for the week had been posted 😩
