    Hi All! Been reading your posts... you all have been doing great! Thank you for the encouranging words. The rest of the week was more of the same. Felt listless.... today we went out to a spring and spent the day having fun, outdoors as a family. Got some swimming and hiking in. I think it has helped me to get out of my funk. I will start logging again tomorrow and will restart my P90X on Monday. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

    Hugggggssss! :flowerforyou:

    Looking back on this busy week, I think I know why I have a difficult time with challenges. I did not complete the number of crunches that I thought I could, but it was an awesome & productive week otherwise.

    Fitness related accomplishments:

    Mon: 10 mins jumping on trampoline, lots of sewing.
    Tues: 31 mins step aerobics on 6-inch step
    Wed: church nite
    Thurs: 5K walk/jog in 48:50, 150/500 crunches
    Fri: Exhausted & crashed on couch so burned a few calories sleeping
    Sat: still a bit tired, but worked on sewing project for about 5 hrs

    Personal accomplishments:

    got job promotion
    completed my daughter's outfit for homecoming dance

    34again, thanks for the re-welcome. It sucks to be sick. Way to rock your goals!

    Aninamika, great job on your goals. I hope your knee is feeling better. That one small part of your body can make or break your exercise routines. Take it easy and don’t hurt yourself.

    Littlemount, thanks! I did get in my zumba class. It was great to be back. I was exhausted afterwards. Still recovering, but it will get easier. As for your fruit and veggie goal, I find that to be the hardest goal ever. Of course, I’m an anti-vegetarian, so I have to work on eating veggies that aren’t starch heavy. You can do it! BTW, What is Gary’s strength?

    Bhurley1424, thanks. :-) And hey, nothing wrong with enjoying a day at the zoo and helping that baby of yours get what she wanted. Afterall, it’s not like she could eat it all herself. Way to go on your goals! Stress free days are hard to come by.

    Philoshoe, thank you sweetie. Glad to see you rocking it. I also read that you tried Zumba. Did you like it? Since you read my story on my blog (I think the only one who did), you know it’s my first exercise love. I still suck at the coordination so no worries. In classes you learn that everyone does. It’s only on the videos that everyone looks so pretty. Chalean is something I worked up to and you can as well. I have faith in you. I’m really impressed with your macronutrient goal progress this month. Amazing!

    Hearts Desire, glad to be back. Please don’t beat yourself up for a bad day. We all make mistakes. We’re human. The good news is, we can pick ourselves up and try again the next day (like you did). If you need support, this is the thread to get it. Glad you’re here and keep coming. Also glad to see you did so well yesterday.

    Mak, so proud of you for shredding with such consistency. You are rocking your goals this week. I know what you mean about sodium. I went out to eat last night and went over another day this week and I feel blah. The good news is, that is an easy recovery. Wish it was just as easy to lose the fat. LOL!

    Papillion, congrats on the honeymoon and the move. Where in the US did your hubby get a new job? You will make it through this transition and we will help support you in the process. Enjoy your weekend away!

    Genene111, welcome! I’m putting up the new thread ASAP for goals starting this weekend so please keep coming back. We’re glad to support everyone as we all take this day by day and week by week. Love your goals and great job on them this week!

    La_nanita, sometimes we just need a change of routine and relaxing trip to recharge our batteries. Glad you were able to take that time. Can’t wait to see you come back victorious and ready to kick some butt!

    Fitnhealthyccthats, great job on completing most of your goals. The joy of this challenge is that we all recognize that we’re human and we take everything one day and one week at a time. Life can get super busy and it’s hard to keep up and make healthy lifestyle choices. Congratulations on the new job!
