Hmm, when there is about 5 minutes left to a walk, stationary biking, or elliptical, I start telling myself that "I can do anything, anything at all for 5 minutes," and then, "I can do anything, anything at all for 4 minutes," etc. Etc. Until at the one minute mark, I say, 60 seconds, 45 seconds, 30 seconds, 20 seconds, and then I count down from 10 seconds! Whew! Although I don't actually mean anything, but just what I'm doing at that time.2

@Emmajhare I would guestimate on the log....just to stay accountable. And I would eat mindfully and enjoy it! The great thing about France is you can probably get lots of walking in. The bonus is you get to explore and enjoy the sights while you do it!

I do not know what is going on with my weight. I've been logging consistently and eating under goal. Saw 136 last week, bounce up to 138 for 5 days, then 140, then 141. I'm still only walking, but I've been walking fast and hills. I'm particularly frustrated because having not logged for 4 weeks over the holidays, I seem to be doing worse the last two weeks, despite having gotten back on track. Luckily I've been in it long enough that I'm not in danger of giving up (yet), but I just don't get what is going on!! (Okay...full disclosure, I do seem to be retaining water, but I'm not sure that that is enough to account for the terrible scale.)

Well I walked a lot but I also ate cheese and drunk more than my fair share of wine and beer. Oh well. I've logged my sins and had fun. What happens in France....2 -

When I’m close to the finish line, knowing how close I am is usually all I need. Like others have said, I tell myself, it’s only 5 min or whatever... Distractions also help. This morning, on the elliptical, an interesting story came on the news and instead of hopping off after my 20 min were done, I kept on going because I wanted to hear the end! And the last thing I’ll say helps is the habit tracker... I want that green check mark! So I keep going...

@Emmajhare I got my Samsung Health and MFP linked. Thanks for your help. I noticed that MFP will write to Samsung Health but if I enter info into the Samsung Health it will not write to MFP. Is that correct, or am I doing something wrong? I hope you are enjoying France!0

Haven't been hitting my step goal so this week I can't crawl in bed until I do.1 -

Hey Jen (@KCJen )...I keep the stats for the Step Challenge...rather simple really...you sign up to participate, set yourself a daily step goal and then every few days send in your steps...just a daily goal to keep yourself active. Now, once you have a group of friends that use the same step tracker (Fitbit, etc.) you can do side challenges as you'd like. Feel free to add me if you use Fitbit (jakrall@cox.net)...love challenges...let me know if you'd like to join and I'll get you plugged in. Step chart is just below the weight chart, on the same spreadsheet...
