    Monday walk challenge check-in (Team Walking Mamas): 4644

    Hey girl, I could be wrong but I believe we have to go to the link on page 8 to report our steps in that challenge?
    Someone correct me if I'm wrong, thanks!

    Tuesday Morning Update:

    I believe to be in keto for 2 days now, as my hunger has reversed.
    My clothes feel tighter today though and the other day they felt loose. I am going to keep plugging away since I feel great!
    I haven't been for a walk yet today as I am busy working.
    The sun is shinning.
    I am on 8 glasses of water so far today.

    Lame but that's it so far today :) Any ideas what I could listen to during work? I need some ideas, music, podcast, any ideas?

    Good morning, team! It's a rainy Monday here in Wisconsin, so I'm glad I got outside to do some yardwork yesterday when it was in the low 80s and sunny. Apparently a couple of hours of shoveling, raking, and sweeping was what I needed to kick-start my scale.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970

    Hi, Can you put me on a temporary hold for the step count challenge? Since my Fitbit self destructed on Sunday, I have not found a reliable way to measure my steps. I am wearing three different devices right now and, of course, I have 3 different step counts for the past couple of days. Until I decide whether to get a new Fitbit, get a new Samsung Watch (for compatibility with my phone) or start using my Apple Watch, it would be best not to continue participating. As soon as I am comfortable that my step count is accurate, I ask to rejoin the group.

    Thanks,
    rwillems

    Nn-stop eating is my problem, too. Without all that running and baseball stuff! 😁

    I can either excuse you or you can use this formula for walking at a normal pace which is 100 x minutes .....Let me know what you want to do :)

    Make sure you eat back those exercise calories. How many did you burn between the two? I bet it was a great burn.
