I also love my Zumba classes. So much fun and I sweat a lot and burn so many calories each session.
Great job
I use to love running when I was younger... but I ended up getting tendonitis in both knees UGHH
I have Zumba dvd's but have never use them .... with this darn foot of mine I am kinda limited so I do what I can
I also have issues with my hips, knees and feet. I’m trying different things to help with this. My chiropractor re-aligns my hips when I get a chance to see him and I also did physio therapy and have tried different types of shoes. I have heel and knee braces and everything makes it all a little better but it’s still a struggle. I hope I never reach a point where I can run 🤞🏻lindamtuck2018 wrote: »
We are thrilled to announce that @Megan_smartiepants1970 and @Marigorringo are our new team motivators. Myself and Mari look forward to working with them to support and motivate the team.
I’m super stoked to have you two ladies join us on our quest to make our team number 1. It’s so nice to know we have Back up and help to keep this team going strong.
Thank you! My normal default is to fall back socially a little bit when I'm not doing the best, but I will try to remember that we're all going through our ups and downs here.mari_moulin wrote: »Got your steps in. I am so happy to see you back here and hope you can continue checking in with us daily. Let us help you get through these hard times. I know we aren’t there physically to help but we are here to listen and encourage you from afar.
Thanks so much! I think this one will be better than concentrating on a number on a scale. Sometimes you can't control what happens with the scale, but I can definitely control getting my steps in. You're both very right that logging in more often will motivate me more and keep me accountable. I have to be more conscious of it.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »I am glad you are starting to get back to yourself. It’s seems like these bets motivate you so good luck with this one.

Steps for 7/11: 5,200
Steps for 7/12: 9,292
Got your steps in. I can understand being the type of person to step back when things get hard. I am also one who tends to push back and push people away even if I know too well that this only makes it harder to find my motivation again. I find I have better success at getting back on Top of my journey when I have people encouraging me daily. Keep at it. Take it one day at a time.destiny_sierra wrote: »Hi Team
So sorry I haven't been on to update, the app on my phone will not even let me in, keeps crashing and I don't have consistent wifi for my laptop right now due to our entire house being torn apart so I have only been trying once a week.
Weigh in Day Friday
PW - 230.6
CW - 231.7 (as of last Friday)

7/1 - 12,792
7/5 - 7,073
7/6 - 8,345
7/7 - 9,971

7/11 - 14,239
7/12 - 8,780
Got your steps in. Many people have been having so many issues logging on to the app. It makes it harder to stay motivated when out fitness tools don’t work. I hope things are coming together at home. I’m happy to see you check in and hope you manage to do so more often this week ❤️Favorite exercise:
I love walking- with the dog at a leisurely pace, higher intensity a few times a week
SUP- meditative, stress reducer, connection to nature
Gym- lifting heavy things, get the heart rate up, achieving goals of getting stronger
Hiking- exploring trails
You have so many forms of exercise! That’s so great. It helps to keep it different and work different parts of your body. It’s such a good mix of physical activity. Well done!OMG! I just realized that I posted the wrong weight to my check in this week. Here's the correction:
PW: 163.9
CW: 163.7
I guess it was a hopeful typo in the previous entry!
Just went it to have a look and for that fixed for you on the spreadsheet.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »
