 I recorded a Cardio activity. On my laptop, I clicked the activity type (immediately above the activity title) and got a dropdown menu of all activity types, including Dance Fitness. I selected Dance Fitness and confirmed it. I then looked and found that I had earned the Jazz Hands badge.izzyred9400 wrote: »Hi all, I like the idea of a word for the year but maybe once a month to add a subtitle word also. I'm thinking about my word but at the moment it is FRUSTRATION.
 I was excited to learn from my fellow head Garmin badge earner @frankwbrown that some new Dance badges were been added. As I have been to my Dance class 5 times this week I have been unable to record the activity to receive the badge.
 I've looked at various discussions on line to change the cardio to dance which I've done but still no badges.
 Do you know how to display this page on the Garmin app @frankwbrown or can anyone else help ? 
 I also checked in the Android app and was able to find Dance Fitness listed as an activity type there as well. Did this not work for you?

 I'm not too happy with the steps, or lack of. My boys have been going through a rough sleep phase, so I've been extra tired and took a couple days off from the gym. We've still been walking every day, though so I'm happy with that part.3

            Hey @Pupowl - hope your weekend is starting off with a bang. I unexpectedly had to work late last night...came home, ate a little something, laid down and I was out...CRAZY BUSY at the office so I was exhausted. I'll be on vacation starting Tuesday, but not taking a trip. I'll be in and out and watching the spreadsheets with you...just not doing the group challenge this week. I need a creativity break.

            @Cyncia85 -- Gym class in '93 comprised of 'Sweatin' to the Oldies!' :-P Haha, it would wipe me out! A great workout and a lot of fun.
 Sunday Funday -- I'm having coffee but about to get started. Here are a few photos from my bicycle ride the other day. It's been raining everyday but sometimes we get little pauses in the weather (it's a rain forest - so normal). There is enough water in ditches and puddles for the ducks to float around in. It's really cute.   4 4

            @Itadakimasu7 Such a pretty rainbow!2

            Hello Shape Shifters. My week started well and went downhill fast, so my tracker doesn't look very rainbowy. I was feeling very depressed and healthy eating is always the first thing to go because I simply don't have the mental capacity to give a frick. It was a struggle, but today I managed to keep my calories low after 4 days of binging. I find that the first good day is always the hardest, so I hope tomorrow will be better. I don't think my weigh in will be green this week though; I have 3 days to get rid of the 4 pounds I added on, but I will do my best. My walking was a bit lower due to bad weather and storms, but I am okay with that since it wasn't laziness. I had a really nice walk yesterday and this morning; it was frosty and sunny, my favorite combo.
 I already got my phone back which is great. I sent it on Thursday, they got it Friday, fixed it and sent it back the same day so I had it back on Saturday. I was also pleasantly surprised that all my apps and stuffs were still on the phone, so I didn't have to reinstall anything. They just did a clean software update and that fixed my dead screen. Not much else going on here. Happy Sunday everyone  6 6

            Gm yall. Just popping in because I miss yall. Therapy is going really well. This past Friday made 2 weeks post surgery. My mobility is increasing each day and I've been able to take Dinah outside on my own 2x per day near the porch. I'm transitioning from the walker to the cane. And it looks like I might have an allergy to the surgical glue they used to seal the incision on my knee. When I had my right knee done 2 1/2years ago I had no problem with the glue. So, I guess it's now an issue. Who'd have thought? I've had family and friends coming by to check on me.7

 Sorry for the late weigh in, I was preparing for a work trip and posting slipped my mind. I think part of this loss is just water weight.4

            Just wanted to give an updated top 3 for this week since it isn't entirely right. Not sure if people even care about it, but anyway.
 First place: nancyinmo ~ awesome job!
 Second place: bearchested ~ because your weigh in was late, you didn't make it on the official list, but you were the second best loser this week!
 Third place: PatriceFitnessPal ~ you had the same percentage lost as me, so we get to share the 3rd spot!7

            @Itadakimasu7 I am glad you are feeling good enough to come back. We have another week of January, so your first weigh in will be on Tuesday the 6th. If you could give us a new start weight before then, that would be great!4

            Happy Monday!!

            Happy Monday everyone!
 Enjoyed having my son home but he leaves today. I haven’t been on the treadmill or bike for a few days and my weight is up. It seems unfair because I’ve been skiing a lot, but maybe I’m usually slightly dehydrated? Who knows. Heading back to Houston tomorrow so I’ll have my inconsistent scale. We shall see what Friday looks like.
 @Armygirlarmyof1 glad you are recovering so well. Sorry about the glue allergy.
 @Itadakimasu7 Bike ride looks beautiful!

 Today my meditation was I am Vibrant and I feel that goes with Light🥰
 @LaurieWrobo - I hadn’t given much thought to a visual reminder for my ‘word of the year’ —flourish. I’ll select a computer screensaver picture that shows a flower, with vibrant blooming pedals. I’m also including pictures from nature that convey messages of connectedness on my website. I’m hoping the images inspire many people to collaborate across roles and settings - within the ‘landscape’ of health and education systems - so that children and communities thrive.
 Systems are made up of people taking collective action. So, I think the complexity of nature can both inspire - and reassure us - that our individual actions can contribute (in big and small ways) to positive change. I’m hoping I can get the images and text right on the website so that the health and education leaders I work with understand our approach to cultivating collaboration with multiple stakeholders for positive results!4
