a strange weekend here somehow, eating not so great but I got a good march through the woods today...good for the soul. I somehow hit the chart as a mention for March 1st week but @jugar, I'm sitting on the sidelines this month as I sort my recent yoyo-ing out.
Spring weather in the forecast for this week - very energizing...getting garden chores done will burn some calories for sure.2 -

I have been getting my water in and eating at home but I can’t seem to get that exercise in 🤦🏾♀️. On Saturday at work I ate my food on my breaks so when my lunch came I went and walked the parking lot. I’m going to try that all this week. Other than the exercise I have been doing pretty good.5 -
Aha! I thought you had been on the sidelines last month and came back this month. I get confusedI somehow hit the chart as a mention for March 1st week but @jugar, I'm sitting on the sidelines this month as I sort my recent yoyo-ing out.
Still, you have to admit you were good for our team stats this week! I'll move you down to support now, quick before I get mixed up again. 2 -
@sunny9847
I think your post about a party and some wild eating was the first time you have not simply hit all your goals every day - I hope you had a wonderful time. You are so disciplined!3 -

Hi Kelly! Earlier in the week you had reported that you did 30 minutes of AAA (arms abs *kitten) on Sunday. I put that in, but just wanted to confirm since you did not mention it here.1 -
WEEK 2 CHALLENGE -- CONSISTENCY 102
This is a continuation of March week 1...
It is a familiar kind of challenge - tracking the exact numbers of 2-3 things of your choice every single day. Just being consistent. And having alternatives if your plan gets derailed. Protect those numbers all week! Consistency is like a muscle - the more you do it, the better it gets.

It's not as low as I had been last week (before that McDonalds, ahem) but still green.

So I have to vent...
Saturday when I went to work, my husband took the car, so he just dropped me off at work... Well that new girl didn't come in, although she said she was there at 9, and kept checking back to see if a car was there, but not once did she knock on the door or bother to call the office.... Anyway, the owner sent me this long text that she had sent him, about how I was an important piece for her to be successful there... Umm I don't want to be that.. He was supposed to hire someone who could just pick it up and run, it's pretty obvious he didn't and is expecting me to help guide her... I am so over this... I don't know why I let it bother me, but it does. If it was reversed he wouldn't be helping me out...
Anyway, no exercise this morning, but I did do a nice long meditation about grace...
Have a good day.4 -

Yep, I would have called the office "anybody there??"

Monday morning on a week that I work from home - this has been challenging for me - today I'm going to try to beat it - eat only what&when I would eat if I had packed my lunch/snacks for the office. Will try to check in tonight to confirm I did it!2

@Gidgitgoescrazy that really sucks. I don't see that you owe them anything, so I'd tell them both to do one. It's not your problem to fix and it reads to me like he's taking advantage of you.2

Solution!
My wonderful sister @EvMakesChanges (Evelyn) will help me out with the exercise minutes being converted into steps enterprise. She will collect them and I'll put them in the spreadsheet, so hopefully that will make it painless all around.
Just a reminder for anyone who is on the step/exercise team and wants to supplement their "plain" steps with some other forms of exercise - please report how many minutes, what the exercise was, and the speed/intensity level. If you are running, it is not helpful to tell the distance alone. Please say how many minutes and around what speed. This can be in minutes per mile/km, words like jogging or sprinting, etc. Bicycling also - around how many miles/km per hour, or how out of breath and sweaty you got. Thanks!
Hi! I'm looking forward to working with you all and helping Liselyn recuperate. Since the border is still closed and I can't come across any time I'd like to physically help, this will have to suffice for the month.
More soon.
Have a great Monday.4 -

Just my two cents, but Vikki I think you have gone above and beyond to help your old boss out. Time for him to earn the big boss pay. You have a new job and your own life and well-being that you need to focus on. My vote is that you are done trying to train anyone. Enjoy your new job and your open weekends to do what YOU want to do. Hugs!3 -
Happy Monday! Woke up and went out on my screened porch to soak in the sunlight and feel the chill. I have been going on with no coat or shoes to take it all in. Maybe weird, but I am enjoying it. Do a few stretches and rolldowns. Then, put dishes away while I made my coffee. Then did my lovely Pilates. Such a nice wake up routine.
Yay! to Evelyn for helping out with the step translations. I will try to get this week's step report up shortly so if you are missing steps, please get them in asap. Thanks for all the steps already reported.
@sunny9847 I need 3/1 from you
@pearl466 I missing Fri and Sat but I think you are injured and taking a break
@riagalgate 2/28, 3/4, 3/5, 3/6

Sounds like a great plan! And don't forget lots of water in between and those steps to the bathroom that go with it. It's important to get up and move.

@micki48 Oh, walking outside with no coat, socks, or shoes? Wow! That says "warm climate" all over it. Well, I *could* do that but I'd have frostbite within a few minutes! We still have a few feet on the ground and will likely still have some in late April/early May. It's a short, short summer season here in Vermont (and further north).
The numbers I'm working on this week are:
*3 Mason/Ball jars (72 fl oz) water/day
*2 cups of tea sans sugar/day
*1 hour of reading/day
Off to do some reading now then onwards to Winooski to help Emily move a desk. Muscle work - yay!

Today is shot, our favorite supplier sent us US girl guide cookies. Man, Americans have no idea how good they got it compared to Canada lol.
Having nostalgia for the days we lived close to the border so we'd pop over for groceries.2 -

ah well - you aren't missing anything these days anyhow. I live near the border and have not been across it for a year now! We can't even pick up our mail from our US post office box. Lucky you getting those cookies!3 -
@micki48 yes I did my back in and trying to take it easy. I have walked but did not track as I did not want to feel pressure to add steps (mind games I know). The pain was pretty bad.
Much better now, hopefully back to working out tomorrow. Still aching but bearable now.
Very out of character for me, I've no idea what happened.3
