    1. first of all that was a typo, it should have said 72 :smiley: I've ended January below 71, so that's ok. Today is over but I assume that's just a fluke
    2. Not yet in the maintaining phase
    3. Yes, I've mastered week 2 - now starting week 3
    4. I'm on track - although there is a typo as well, as it should have been 4.000.000
    5. I've already done around 80km, which is more than planned for a winter month

    End of March, going into April:

    #1 Get STRONGER and Fitter (keep up with workouts)
    I'm keeping up with exercising despite the closing of gym!

    #2 RUN 500 miles/yr
    I haven't been tracking but I know I ran more than last month.

    #3 ENTER/Complete at least 4 races (with my son)
    This one is disappointing. The ones I signed up has been cancelled. 2 have been cancelled and 1 have been postponed.

    #4 ACHIEVE and Maintain 19% Body Fat
    Yup

    #5 EAT and REST well
    Yup, with the work from home order, I get 1 extra hour of sleep. I can get used to this.

    #6 AGE gracefully...
    WIP :)

    End of April, going into May! (already?!)

    #1 Get STRONGER and Fitter (keep up with workouts)
    I'm still keeping up with exercising despite the closing of gym! With weather warming, I want to spend more time out.

    #2 RUN 500 miles/yr
    It's not exact but I ran about 40 miles in April.

    #3 ENTER/Complete at least 4 races (with my son)
    This one is disappointing. The ones I signed up has been cancelled. 2 have been cancelled and 1 have been postponed.
    Not sure about this goal.

    #4 ACHIEVE and Maintain 19% Body Fat
    Need work! Still on 19's but want to get it back to 19.0%.

    #5 EAT and REST well
    Yup, with the work from home order, I get 1 extra hour of sleep. I can get used to this.
    Still the same. Cooking every meal, watching what I make, it's getting easier.

    #6 AGE gracefully...
    WIP :)

    Hellooooo @weatherking2019 , you are crushing this ! I particularly like your goal number 6 :smiley:
    It also made me realise that I forgot to post my March milestone; it completely got snowed under the Covid stuff. On Friday, I'll make my April milestone.

    4. I'm on track - although there is a typo as well, as it should have been 4.000.000
    5. I've already done around 80km, which is more than planned for a winter month

    February checkin:
    1. right on track, I'm 70.0 now
    2. Maintaining phase has started !
    3. Pfewww... it is difficult. I hope I've mastered week 2 now, starting week 3 tomorrow (again !)
    4. Right on track on this one.
    5. I should get started with riding to work this week, but the weather is still awfull, so I'll see.

    All in all, pretty good progress :smiley:

    April checkin (forgot March):

    1. Ow boy, I've ducked this one by a feather: 71.9
    2. Maintaining phase has come and gone, I'm back to losing :-1:
    3. On hold for now, as I don't have the stamina to get to it
    4. I'm 72K steps behind due to the covid situation; I'm planning to get those next week when I will be on a staycation - time to spend on some stepping !
    5. No work to ride to just yet. As soon as my office opens up again, I'll ride that bike. I'm now at 105km

    It's fair to say that Covid got to me in multiple ways: lower step count, no biking, no hiking and no diving. Summertime for me means having more room to drink a cocktail and eat a bit more as I'm also spending tons of calories on outdoor activities that aren't happening now. Although the sun is shining, I must get my eating habits into winter mode.

    Fist day of JUNE! Wow! Already 6 months in!!!

    #1 Get STRONGER and Fitter (keep up with workouts)
    I'm still keeping up with home exercising. It's been good. Still trying to figure out if I want to go back to OTF or not.

    #2 RUN 500 miles/yr
    According to my Apple watch, I did 113 workouts in May! I have to add all the mileage but I'm happy.

    #3 ENTER/Complete at least 4 races (with my son)
    Not sure about this goal. But now that's its summer, we plan on jogging together after work.

    #4 ACHIEVE and Maintain 19% Body Fat
    I want to get it back to 19.0%.

    #5 EAT and REST well
    I'm eating alright. Probably too well. Need to watch my portion as more backyard gathering happening.

    #6 AGE gracefully...
    WIP :) Slathering SPF50 everyday.

    5 months have passed, here is where I stand with my goals:

    1. 72.2 and it has been 72.9 - I blame Covid :wink: Luckily, I'm on the right track again.
    2. not there yet
    3. still on hold for now
    4. I'm 110.000 steps behind, which seems a lot, but I will participate in a fundraising walk end of July and that will swipe away that momentary loss
    5. Only 230km so far. Today is my first day bike2work ! Hope a lot more will follow :smile:

    July, here I come!

    #1 Get STRONGER and Fitter (keep up with workouts)
    I'm back at OTF, going M-Th then the weekends. 6 days a week, baby!!

    #2 RUN 500 miles/yr
    According to my Apple watch, I did 107 workouts in June! Bit down from last month because I am not doing burst workouts much... I should keep it going.

    #3 ENTER/Complete at least 4 races (with my son)
    Not sure about this goal.

    #4 ACHIEVE and Maintain 19% Body Fat
    I want to get it back to 19.0%. Still working on it. It shot up to 21. So I'm going to focus on BF.

    #5 EAT and REST well
    I'm eating alright. Probably too well. Need to watch my portion as more backyard gathering happening. Still the same. I am going to do a Reset 5 day soup diet after the holiday wkend.

    5. Only 230km so far. Today is my first day bike2work ! Hope a lot more will follow :smile:

    1. 73.5 - and what can I say. I'm not doing well weightwise and I need to figure out how to get rid of the funk I'm in.
    2. well, obviously not there
    3. not on hold anymore, just straight out the window. Since a month or so, I've been developing a frozen shoulder. I had one ten years ago and now it's back on the other side. If it develops at the same rate, I'm in for a 2 year ride :tired_face:
    4. I'm now 140.000 steps behind, but next week I'm starting a challenge with some familiy member to support a good cause, so I will amp up the stepping (and looking forward to it).
    5. 506 km. First there was bad weather, then there was Covid and now we had a week of heatwave followed by a week of stormy weather. So there is not much biking going on.

    All in all, I'm still 3kg lighter than the same time last year and I need to get a grip. The 5.000km biking is not realistic anymore, nor is the pushup challenge. But I have no excuse for the stepping and the weight, so they will be my main goals for the coming months.

    Well, antoher month has passed, and we are back in lockdown. This time it is called a "soft lockdown" as it doesn't apply to the whole country, only to the danger zone. Guess where I am living?

    This means I'm working at home full time again, so no biking - which was already compromised by my frozen shoulder. Also no pushups because of that frigging shoulder. The therapy I got (cortisone injections) don't help as I expected and not only my range of motion is getting worse, also the pain is intensifying. I need to sweat it out.

    But the worst part of the new lockdown: I'm also not allowed to go diving again as I have to cross a border I'm not allowed to. :tired_face::disappointed: This is the only activity I can still do without impacting my shoulder, but the law has decided otherwise. Now, I get it, it is for the greater good, but boy I'm *kitten*.

    I amped up my stepping during the last week, but I got miserable low steps in the weeks before, ending at 190K short. I'm still convinced that I will meet this goal by the end of the year though.

    In short:

    1. 73.0, which is sligtly better than last month
    2. I'm maintaining very well, only not at my goal weight :(
    3. Not a goal anymore
    4. Getting behind, but determined to get it back
    5. Not a goal anymore

    @Antiopelle , that's tough!!! Sorry about the lock down and of course your shoulder!
    Is there a physical therapy that you can do? Being in pain really sucks. Hope it get's better.

    So August... I can't believe it's already August! I'm getting married next August and I haven't done anything! I need to get my S_IT together.


    #1 Get STRONGER and Fitter (keep up with workouts)
    OTF, going 5x a week. Still keeping up as much as I can.

    #2 RUN 500 miles/yr
    According to my Apple watch, I did 64 workouts in July. It's way down from last month as I am back in office. No wonder I'm not seeing progress.

    #3 ENTER/Complete at least 4 races (with my son)
    Not happening.

    #4 ACHIEVE and Maintain 19% Body Fat
    I want to get it back to 19.0%. Still working on it. It shot up to 21. So I'm going to focus on BF.

    #5 EAT and REST well
    I'm eating alright. Probably too well. Need to watch my portion as more backyard gathering happening. Still the same.

    #6 AGE gracefully...
    WIP:)Slathering SPF50 everyday.👍👍

    My main goal is get the BF down. I want a lean, toned back. I am happy with my arms and shoulder. So focusing on back and mid section. Pics to come😉

    @Antiopelle, if you can't dive, at least can you swim (lake, river, ocean, pool??) When I was a physio rehab professional we did a lot of rehab in the water, depending on where you live, you might have access to water of some kind, no?

    Thanks for the support @weatherking2019 and @canadjineh. Unfortunately, this is the second time I have a frozen shoulder and I know the drill by now. I'm in phase one at the moment: the hurtful phase where you basically have to sweat it out through the pain, before it subsides and I can start with physical therapy. This phase usually last up to 6 months, so I'm almost there (I hope).
    And no, unfortunately, there is no body of water nearby that I can use for swimming, but thanks for thinking with me :smiley:
