    Okay, this is official...based on where you are today and what you expect to happen between now through Thursday, who will be in the Winner's Circle?

    We can start with my best guesses:
    @TerriRichardson112
    @Bill70sStrong
    @corriepelc
    Raise your hands in your post today, if you will be in the Winner's Circle this month. Remember, anyone with 3 or less Pass Days is in the Circle

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, today was a 3 mile 1 hour walk on the Lehigh Valley Trail. No pics today, though. Wanted to be outside as our forecast is for a fair amount of wind and/or rain in the near future.

    As more team members check in, please put in your post if you expect to be in the October Winner's Circle.
    There are only 2 days left to go. If you have 3 or less Pass days, then you are a Qualifier. Who else will be in the Circle?

    No winners circle for me.
    Ugh. Freezing at daybreak.
    I go back to bed.
    Feeling kind of lame about a month of below par exercise I get out in the neighborhood and do a pattern I call the paper route. It is about five or so blocks laid out across the side of a hill.
    I do three of those patterns it is like 16 x 60 foot hill repeats. That is like a thousand feet. My knee won't put up with me doing 2,000 on that pattern.
    My heart runs differently for that pattern than it does for repeats I do at the "track" or for straight shot climbing.
    Got my heart up to 92% but it was kind of like cardio peaks in intervals of four minutes.
    Not like I could hold 92 for any sort of duration like I used to.
    Those kind of repeats are harder on my knee than the other sort of climbs.
    I do a standing climb for like 2/3 of each ascent.
    Only 16,000 of climb for this month. Might be able to get another two on Thursday but no Strava badge for me for October.
    I sit relaxed, slouched on my couch. I can feel my heart beating. Lump, lump, lump.
    Nothing wrong with that I guess. Just strange to be able to feel it at its low end rather than at high end.
    Heh, I have 671 thousand feet of climb since I first logged on to Strava 36 months ago.
    Weird goal... million feet of climb. It could happen.

    I Decided to DIET again, 6 months post reaching my Maintenance GW. My pants were tight & I knew I’d feel much better about myself if I could get back to my 2019 New Year’s Wt by 1/1/2020!

    I’m Only up 3 lbs but I’ve been gradually creeping up the past 4 months. Time to prove to myself I can lose again.


    Ex: 78 min walk
    Calories under (Set a lower calorie goal! And not counting exercise )❣️YES!!
    Tracked all 🌈
    Pass days: Oct 1-4, Oct 10, Oct 23, Oct 24, Oct 25, Oct 27
    Exercise makes all the difference for me!

    20 days on track!
    🏆🏆🏆 🏆🏆🏆 🏆
    🏆🏆🏆 🏆🏆🏆 🏆
    🏆🏆🏆 🏆🏆🏆

    🥰😍😘👍👌♥️❣️

    2 days to go!! 🎃

    I Decided to DIET....
    Dear Maddie...Please don't "DIET." Take that word right out of your vocabulary and decide to stick with your "nutrition plan" or "goals" instead. It will be much easier to adapt to a plan or goals you know are healthy and good for your well being. I really cringe when the word "diet" is used. It leaves too much room for fads or unhealthy eating patterns. Hugs to you... I know from your history that you will be successful! :)

    Thanks @w8goal4life! I appreciate your concern & advice. But rest assured, I never succumb to fads or unhealthy eating patterns. My first priority is health!

    I track macros & micros.
    By DIET, I meant a slight deficit in calories (1700’s) & moderate carbs. 135-150g per day. I am giving myself the next 9 weeks to get from 158 to 155! And.a COMMITTED approach, as I’ve been gaining slightly overtime even though I was working on losing. Kind of a “jig is up” moment!


    Thank you for your support!
