A quick walk into town for some groceries (12 months ago I'd have taken the car and it's only 2/3 of a mile each way), a Thighs, Bums and Tums class, followed by a 2 2/3 m walk to the sea fromt - I was worn out LOL (edited to add) and I got my 15K steps 'just'
@MelissaPhipps - \o/☆•*¨*•☆\o/ - an amazing NSV
@Chevy - WoW to the 22k FitBit steps - that's a long way. I must admit I've been a bit absent lately - but I seem to have recovered some of my mojo.
@R_Queenie -'fail' is such an ugly word - so emotive - I so wish we could find another word. That's my challenge to folks!!
@kawookie - you're developing an instinct for green/not green - trust yourself.
@fionauu - an hour of xbox zumba is impressive
@iwantobeasuccess - \o/ for coming in green
@ktaylormusic - what a lovely anecdote - and a memory for your daughter to cherish (and skipping clocks up the exercise calories).
@miridai -just love your commitment to the trampette!!
@funkygranola - hope the forward planning paid off and the wedding was fun.
@twijourney - fab result for a rest day.0 -

Well, I did a strength and a cardio video (each a little over a half hour) after dinner tonight. This is the last week of the Walking Dead challenge (go team Carol!) and I'm a little concerned that I might turn into a slug when I lose the excuse of having to work out otherwise it negatively impacts the team. I don't know why working out feels like drudgery sometimes and other times I'm fine with it.
NSV: I finally got around to tallying up my March miles and I managed over 152 miles in March. :drinker:0 -
@kawookie: awesome mileage!
@funky granola: hope the ladies' night and wedding were a blast! great planning ahead, there

This challenge is REALLY helping me drink up. I have this glass 2 cup measuring cup and a funky metal straw and just knock back 2 of them before I leave for work and try to drink water at work but never do (it's all about coffee at work), and then drink 2 more of them in the evening. Working so far.
Didn't QUITE make my 10,000 steps today but within a 100, so I'll call that 10,000, Chevy-style

After getting a steroid shot for my inflamed sinuses/bronchi yesterday, I was afraid I'd blow it today, but it turns out that when you fill & plant a 24 cu. ft. raised garden bed, you burn quite a few calories. Good thing I like growing my own veggies. I already had lettuce & peas growing in the small bed and they are coming along nicely. Today I put out basil, cauliflower, broccoli & spinach. Next weekend I'll put out my cucumbers, squash & potatoes. (And my potatoes are late going in, but they didn't mind last year so...) Sometime in early May, I'll put my tomatoes & peppers outside. They do not like cold AT ALL.0 -

I accidentally had a 1000 calorie breakfast with my instructor after boot camp this morning. I was the only one that showed up to class and was intimidated at first by the 1:1 session but she worked me really hard. Not 1000 calories hard though!
So luckily the thunderstorms cleared this afternoon and I was able to walk myself out of the Red Zone. 17,000 steps today!
Kawookie- amazing mileage!!! I hardly see you as lazy and I know you'll keep it moving without the Walking Dead Challenge.
MelissaPhipps- hope the steroid clears it up for you and your garden sounds so cool!

For the culmination of the walking dead challenge we were asked to do a fitspo. I figured since I have been involved with this challenge for almost as long as I've been on MFP, you all might want to see my before and in-process picture.

I was so unmotivated yesterday. I've been feeling so poopy and down. Too much stress at work and home and blah blah blah.
But you know, I'm tired of being fat and I know I can look super hot in another 60lbs or so. You pounds aren't going to come off if I sit on the couch and mope so away I went. Not full speed or enthusiastically, but I did my weight lifting and took the dogs (my kids) for a walk in the park. Today, I'm almost half a pound lighter. Little victory to add to my soon to be milestone.0 -

It was a gym day and I SO love my Zumba class! Who knew I would start looking forward to exercise? I'm actually still riding the endorphin high today. :bigsmile:
@kawookie - You look amazing! I know what you mean about the exercise sometimes feeling like drudgery. I've always taken to working out in "spurts" throughout my life. I definitely think the secret is determination and finding something you enjoy. On Zumba days I enjoy it and on treadmill/strength training days I'm determined to get it done. lol
@Jbharwood - Great job walking out of the red zone and kicking boot camp butt!
@MelissaPhipps - I would love to have a garden out back. I'm totally jealous! Hope you are feeling better!
@iwanttobe - Every little bit of effort takes you one step closer to success.
@ktaylor - great use of "Chevy style"!0 -

A day spent in the car as I travelled 2 hours each way to visit my mum in her nursing home. Managed 2.36 m on the exercise bike before I set off. After the visit I went for a walk round a park and I've got my 15k steps target - pretty pleased with myself!! Tried a new chicken dish for dinner - really enjoyed it -as did my son - hubby is off enjoying Polish treats in Gdansk
@Chevy - and what style - *laughing* :laugh: :laugh:
@Scherzie - off to a good streak for April ????????
@kawookie - fab NSV with the miles. I know what you mean about the 'drudgery' - some days can start slowly/sluggishly - but you are outstanding at pushing through that if your logging is anything to go by!! You look so much happier and more confident in your fitspo. ☆•*¨*•☆
@ktaylormusic - I concur - judicious use of the 'Chevy' rule ????????????????????????
@MelissaPhipps - what an amazing selection you've managed and plan to plant out. Aren't veg from your own just wonderful tasting. The steroid doesn't sound too pleasant an experience - I hope it has the desired effect. :happy:
@Jbharwood - I love the idea of an accidental 1000KC breakfast - the good news is that you had all day to work at the exercise add back - disaster would have been supper!! :laugh: :laugh:
@iwanttobeasuccess - we all have days when we have to give ourselves a stern talking to - so well done one your victory - getting up and moving when you didn't feel motivated ????????
@twijourney - fab job in supporting and motivating within the group ????????

Everyone is doing so well this month so far. I am proud of all of you and proud to be in this challenge with you. Tomorrow I am walking a 5k to benefit Autism Speaks. My goal is to finish in 45 minutes. Watch this space to see how that goes. I am going directly from the 5k to a Cub Scout event so I will be moving my body all day tomorrow. Fun times.0
