Here's another version... with writing down 5 things you are grateful for, which is what I do in a Start Today Journal by Rachel Hollis. I just printed this one and put it on the bulleting board right above my desk at home so I am constantly reminded of it while I'm working.

I am doing 5 to Thrive, which is a Rachel Hollis thing. It is at least a goal each day. It is right in line with our mini-challenges, but it is nice to have a visual. In the past I have given up one category of food 30 days at a time, rather than the entire 90 days. I'm not sure what I am giving up this month though. It probably should be wine but just not sure this is good month for that!
Working from home does have it's challenges in that I'm not walking from a parking garage into my office, and walking around the office throughout the day, which doesn't seem like much but has impacted my step count. So, I am trying to make sure I get out with the dog a few times a day.
@jmalderman I really like that visual for your goals! Is it a different set of goals each day, or do you aim to at least complete one? That is pretty neat!
I (unintentionally) gave up wine near the end of December/early January. I have had one glass this year, and I don't find much of a difference in how things are going for me. I guess it would be different for me if I drank more frequently, but I used to have some every weekend... I hope you can find something to "give up" that isn't too difficult for you, and benefits you in the long run! 1 -
I am sorry that I have slacked on posting the information on the step/water challenge for this month! I know that I fell behind at the end of the March challenge, and didn't post the results as often as I should have.
Information on our Step/Water Challenge! This month these challenges will run Sunday(Starting April 29th,) to Saturday,(April 4th) to remain in line with the Mini Ultimate Accountabilty Challenge, and our weigh ins!
Weekly Step Challenge
This is pretty simple if you track your steps at all(via phone, fitness tracker, pedometer, anything really). You select your own step goal each week and try to reach it. We have two categories for "winners" for the week- Percentage of goal completed, and highest total steps!
The Water Challenge
This is a challenge to get you to reach 8 cups of water each day! The team all has the same goal. Aim for 8 glasses(64oz) of water per day, or 448oz or week! The winners in this category are determined by the highest percentage of water you drink!
Here is the spreadsheet
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE STEP OR WATER CHALLENGE, PLEASE TAG ME IN YOUR POST @cmhubbard92 AND I WILL ADD YOU TO THE SPREADSHEET, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR WEEKLY STEP GOAL.

We all get caught up in the struggle to stay on top of this group sometimes. Thank you so much, you are like a breath of fresh air!
Yes to both challenges please! 8500 steps daily (59,500/weekly) thank you! 1 -

I promise I will do better this month!!!
You are already on the spreadsheet. When I made the new sheet for April, whatever I copied over somehow lost your updated goal in translation! It's fixed now
And on a positive note, my boyfriend got me a new laptop, so I will have an easier way to work on the spreadsheets, and will be able to respond to posts much quicker! I am pretty excited about it, because I think that will mean more time focusing on my goals! 3 -

That's awesome! I'm actually in the market for one of those and now that my daughter is having to complete school online, we need to hurry up about it. I keep putting it off because I've had the worst luck with buying computers! Ugh.. Tell me how you like yours0 -

@Krysless2 We found a refurbished Acer chromebook... 15.9in I think? It was $150 or $160 on amazon. I really like it so far! It's better than using my phone. It was a good price, considering so many were sold out! He has one coming as well, but it's a different brand, and I'm not sure when it will arrive. I will let you know how he likes his, and also give a better review of mine after getting more use out of it.0 -

@cmhubbard92 The goal is to do all 5 each day for 90 days!
My daughter has started baking a lot during this at home time and it is becoming so second nature to lick the bowl and eat a brownie or cookie when the house is engulfed with the smells so I think I am giving that up. 😄1 -

I like the table discussion. Right now I feel like I'm ok. I'm good in the sense that I am in control of my exercise routine. I've been exercising at home for years and this year I've got in a good routine of being able to do my workouts even with my kids around, climbing all over me. A silver lining is that my kids are able to see me exercise, hopefully that's setting a good example. My 7 yr old will join me sometimes. What worries me is the food situation.
Our grocery stores are pretty wiped out still and what I am able to get is definitely not what we're used to. Today I sat in the parking lot waiting for my grocery pick up order for AN HOUR AND 15 MINS! With all four of my kids. So ridiculous. I stress ate some Easter candy. I had the calories left, but too much sugar is not good for me.2 -

@jmalderman that is the perfect one to give up! I have a bad habit of doing that as well, so I've limited baking lately! Good luck staying away! 0 -

@thedestar great job staying active each day! I hope you were able to get a good enough selection of food for you and your family! Our local store has been doing a pretty good job at keeping everything well stocked. Obviously, all paper goods, cleaning products, and water are slim picking. I have been surprised at the amount of fresh produce and how full the meat department is. I have never done grocery pick up, but I can only imagine the stress the workers are going through trying to fulfill the increased orders from everywhere. I hope you found a hiding spot for your Easter candy so it doesn't remain so tempting! 0 -
