Water: 65 oz.2 -
Hi. I have been absent most of the last week with a bung shoulder
So I haven't kept up with the mini challenge.
I've tried to read all the posts I've missed but it was about 8 pages long so skipped the last couple (sorry!)
I love the idea of a step challenge I have a fitbit so please let me know what I need to do.
A water challenge would be great because my intake has been rubbish. I'll be good for one day, then terrible for 3.
We used to do a 'question of the day' (many moons ago!). I really liked participating in that.
I try and include 'self-care' every day for me...maybe checking in here would be good for that as it helps me stay on track.

@cmhubbard92 - I filled out the form, but I wasn’t able to edit the spreadsheet. Any idea why not? I would just prefer to update the sheet directly since I have the app and can find the spreadsheet easier than the form.
@pkg1998 Could you message me your email(whatever you use for sheets)? I can add you to the spreadsheet to edit. Because I'm still playing with things, I have myself as the only person to edit it right now.0 -
@cmhubbard92 can you add me to the sheet please? I've filled in the form but thats all I can do.
Also...do I need to change my water intake from mls to oz??0 -

@cmhubbard92 I can’t even imagine trying to workout at home with a puppy running around. But I’m sure it provides plenty of other activity.
I had 66 messages to read through so sorry if I do not credit things already said.
I would like to do the water challenge. Someone said something about drinking water as soon as you wake up and that is exactly how I start my days. I try to drink between 20-40 oz before I leave the house for work and I carry another 16-32 with me. Then of course having it with food and exercise always helps.
I have a fitbit but no clue where it is. I’ll look for it this weekend and see about joining the steps challenge next week
@erikNJ the puppy definitely gives me plenty of activity! He hates being crated, so the only thing that works for him when we're gone is blocking him in the hallway with doors shut... but, that doesn't work for going downstairs to do weights because the basement door is at the very end of the hallway, of course!
You can hop into the water or step challenge anytime! I hope you can find your fitbit! You have a great plan for water! I wish I could drink enough water before I leave in the morning! I tend to stick to my coffee first thing in the morning, and drink my 32oz bottle by my lunchtime at work, follow it by a 24oz bottle, and refill with ice throughout the day.1 -

@MelsLeanDream Let me know your fitbit username or the email you used to sign up, I will send you a friend request on Fitbit and I'll send you the challenge invite. I think challenges only work on the fitbit app
Edit: sent you a request!1 -

That’s a great loss (despite the timing). Hopefully your shoulder doesn’t keep you sidelined for too long.0 -

That’s a huge loss and just proves that you are doing all the right things to reach your goals.0 -
Mini challenge 9/16/19
yes/no/yes - only 26 cals over, but it counts as a NO in my book
@annabananamc, it would be great if you could still do both! Yoga has its benefits, even if significant weight loss isn't one of them!! But well done on your C25K!! What day/week are you on?
I am still doing both yoga and C25K for sure! I did W3D1 - I backtracked a bit from where I was this summer when I had to stop for awhile for life + sore knees. I found some soft trails to run on near my new house!
Did yoga yesterday, and probably again tomorrow. I do find they are a good balance.2 -

@MelsLeanDream, hope your shoulder is feeling better! All those small losses add up, so well done on losing another pound!! We could do a question of the week....I think it would be hard to come up with something new everyday, and not everyone logs in daily, either. I would welcome suggestions of questions.1 -

@lozenger1984, what a great way to start a break, with a loss on the scales! You are almost back to your starting weight for September, and then it's all downhill from there!!0 -

@cmhubbard92, converting ounces to mls in everyday use is not an exact conversion. 1 cup in the old (sorry) Imperial system is 8 ounces, but in metric, 1 cup is 250 mls, but yet in reality, 8 ounces is 227.28 mls and 250 mls is 8.82 ounces. If we used "cups", then no one would have to convert, and everyone could divide their own amount to get the number of cups. I don't know if that would work for the spreadsheet, as I haven't seen it yet, but just putting it out there.0
