My focus has been on eating cleaner with some success (cooking more myself and have lost 5 lbs!) so I haven't done many of these exercises. I have been exercising though. I was happy to see that I could do single leg bridges with greater ease due to my minor effort. Thx for keeping the focus!0

Happy Monday
I am really going to try to do a better job of actually getting on a computer to participate in the daily posting. I'm glad I saw the strive for progress not perfection...think it's something I have to remind myself of often.
Check In -
Exercise--45 minutes of a kickboxing/cage fitness class...over 500 calories burned...so fun!
Water--about 70 oz
Food--had a salad at lunch and dinner...really focused on eating more veggies today
Hope everyone had a good day!0 -
Hello Everyone!
So in terms of what exercise to keep in track of, I'm not sure if this would work but I try to make sure I have a certain number of hours for the week (at least 4). I'm not sure if that would work. I try to get in a couple of morning cardio work outs (example: was on the treadmil this morning for about 20 minutes), I also like to get in a couple of circuit training (typically an hour each), one zumba class per week, and then I do a lot of walking as I don't have a car.
So today:
Exercise - 20 minutes of treadmill this morning, 30 walk after work
Water - at least 9 cups though it may have been a bit more. My water bottle is 24oz and I refilled it at least 3 times while at work, plus I know I had some with dinner.
Food - Stay under my calories and macros! Had a salad with my dinner which was coconut crusted haddock fish sticks. So tasty! And lunch was eggplant and turkey lasagna. So delicious, low carb and tastes like the real thing. I highly recommend it!
I hope I'm doing this right! :-p Thanks for having me!0 -
Foxx - You are ddoing this right. Sorry, I am usually posting throughout the day, but currently my "day" is night. Ughhhhh
Challenge - 2 push ups, 65 squats. It hurt. I'm so tired!
Exercise - I'm throwing wrenches at work today and walking around. However with being on nights, I'm a rather confused person on energy level vs sleep time right now.
Food -
Breakfast (3pm): 3 French toast
Lunch (12am) - Italian Sub, Welch's fruit gummies, Coffee
Dinner (8am) - TBD, maybe Benvita bars, more coffee... lol0 -
Struggling to get on in the evening so I am a day behind again.
I did the challenge now on 20 and 30.
Busy day so cheated with convenience foods.0 -
GMStb - Glad you at least dropped in today despite the rough evening, and doing the challenge. Even a little, does a lot.
Foxx - I'll have to try eggplant lasagna. Generally I'm not a fan of substitute recipes because my mind will want the real thing. But I can think of it like eggplant parm maybe!
Ash - Glad you dropped by again. I too need to remember it's about progress, which is why I picked the quote for today. It's easy to get into the "all or nothing" mentality.
Mere - How do you define clean cooking? I'm thinking it would be a good thing to try!0 -
Strong - the key for me is the turkey. It gives the texture and therefore the illusion of pasta. I like to trick my brain as much as possible :-)0
