    Really did not do too much over the long weekend! Low stepping for me. Last night drove my daughter somewhere and the streets are a sheet of ice so I'm sure I won't get out today either but hopefully I can do something active

    I haven't done an intro in a while -

    I'm Erin, 40-something year old wife and stay at home mom of 4 kids ages 8-16, living in Minnesota. Used to be somewhat of a runner but about a year ago I injured my hamstring and am still trying to get running to feel good again :( I try to at least go for short runs and walk my dogs (2 golden retrievers), plus I play tennis and go to Orangetheory so I'm generally pretty active. I joined this group in February after finally getting serious about losing weight in January and I wanted to keep the momentum going. I love how active this group has become!

    Erin - As always awesome to have you here! I grew up with a golden retriever, such a sweet dog! We are looking at planning a trip to Italy. πŸ’ƒπŸŒŸπŸ’ƒ

    @Shortgirlrunning Great job staying within calories! Good planning signing up for the April half marathon. I wonder if you can find a running group to get together with for your long runs - or maybe you already have one...that helps so much.

    December Team Challenge - Motivation Monday:

    I am motivated by the muscle tone I have built, but I am not happy with the added fat bulk....

    What gets in the way?

    Celebrations and weekends...hands down are my weaknesses... I need to stick to a plan of not over indulging so I can shed my bulk and see what I am working so hard for in the gym.

    I can SOOOO relate!

    Motivation Monday:
    My motivation is to be consistent with strength training.

    What gets in my way? I think I have all this time in the day and it gets away from me, then I’m tired. I think I need to schedule a time window early in the day and get it done.

    So true!!!

    Motivation Monday:

    What motivates me?
    How much more active that I have become. I love that the other day I could take three 30 minute plus walks with my husband.

    What gets in my way? Myself, somedays I get the I don't want to, or I don't have time. And sometimes my health gets in the way because MS is a pain like that. When I get in my own way I try to push through and get it done. When it's the MS or being sick I try to give myself a break and not use it as an excuse to overeat or do less than I really can. It can be a bit of a balancing act.
