Hey, I saw this group & thought it would be nice to do a little challenge and help people get motivated/be motivated back.
Hopefully it goes well
How did your day go? My day went pretty well though I almost didn't want to get out of bed. Wasn't feeling really motivated today.
What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! I biked 9.8 KM which according to the app burned 973 calories and I worked out at my gym doing the circuit for half hour (472 calories) and some ab/arm weights.
What did you struggle with? Getting to the gym and eating enough.
What are your wins for the day? Pretty proud with my workout. I could've done more but I wanted to take it easy because I'm doing a hike on Saturday.0 -
•How did your day go?
My day was pretty great! My work kept me busy until about 8!
•What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us!
I walked 32 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5mph, and then I lifted weights (arms!) for 30 minutes. I'm exhausted!
•What did you struggle with?
I made cupcakes for the kids...and I ate 2! Eep.
•What are your wins for the day?
I drank over 64oz of water, and I'm still drinking more!

Hi there! My name is Natalie, and I am a full time nanny living in beautiful Colorado! I have an amazing boyfriend, a sweet "stepson", and some amazing friends! I love to hike, take nature walks and ride my bike. My city is extremely bike friendly, and a trailhead is super close to where I live! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook, which means I have to be creative in order to make delicious and nutritious and slimming meals for me, my honey and his son!0 -

I struggled to get out of bed too! I was supposed to get up in the AM and exercise. But, I didn't. I still got my workout in though. Welcome to our group! I'm so glad you're here!!!0 -
Hey all! thanks for doing this challenge. I can't wait to see how we all do. Starting weight is 144.6- I want to be firmly back in the 130s on labor day!
How did your day go? Today was good. I am really looking forward to getting back on track!
What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us! I walked the dog in the morning and did Day 1 of the 30 Day Shred so I got close to the 1 hr mark.
What did you struggle with? I struggled with sweets, but at least I was under my calorie goal
What are your wins for the day? Starting the 30DS was a win. I really didn't want to, but now only 29 days to go. It helped m to get serious about my workouts last year so I am hoping for a repeat win.0 -
•How did your day go?
I had a pretty chilled day, but didn't get home from work until 9.30pm so I ate pretty late
•What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us!
I cycled to work and back which is 6.5 miles each way. I got there in about 30 minutes and I got home in about 45 minutes. I also did a few sets of push-ups and core exercises in the morning.
•What did you struggle with?
I ate a pretty carb-heavy dinner (chickpea curry on a baked potato) at maybe 11pm, and I doubt I burned those calories off in my sleep!
•What are your wins for the day?
Cycling to work in 30 minutes is a new record for me. I overtook 2 buses and 6 cyclists! I'm getting faster and improving my endurance woohoo!

•What did you do for exercise? Break it down for us!
I'm a dancer/dance teacher, so I spend all day dancing (pretty much) I definitely got in 1 hour of dancing (at least) and about 30 minutes walking.
•What did you struggle with?
I was not one bit motivated today to do any weights or circuit training. Also I've a little pain in my oblique that I thought it would be best to rest =/

I ate a LOT of protein. Even though I went over in cals -.- But hey, motivation is here!

My day went great yesterday! I decided to join this group late because I need something to hold me accountable.
For exercise, I did 30 mins of the Stair Climber, 15 mins of biking, and 15 minutes of elliptical. I was so sweaty!
I struggled with overeating. My sister didn't want to finish her sandwich, so she offered it to me. I ate it. Believe me, it was good.
My win was going to my first day at the gym! I only have a month-long gift membership, so I hope to make the best out of it.
Here's to this month!
