April 2

Green: surprisingly yes
2/20

Blue: yep
2/30

Well, I was doing good all day until dinner time. Had an intense argument which rarely happens, but every one has a spat with their loved ones once in a while. Anyway, after making up, oy yoy yoy. I didn't feel like eating the dinner I had made so I starting eating peanut butter instead to get my minimum cals to be healthy. Well, I felt super sad so I started drinking. After happy alcohol kicked in, then I ate semi bad food until quite frankly passing out.

Not my best day for sure, but my good behavior previously in the day saved me.

@K80flec - You have kept a great thing going commenting... it is a neat thing here!

@melissa - Great to meet you too!
All the credit goes to Kawookie however for her unselfish effort

@scherzie - Great job

@R_Queenie - Thanks so much - That 99 calorie thing was in reaction to MFP just switching from "You are great" to "You are rotten" with one calorie. I love the way fitbit does it a lot better!
Super smart way to recover - Oatmeal is a "go to food"!

@rfstepp29 - This is a real supportive place - keep up the great work!

@michellenel - That Green machine is a machine!

@kawookie - You have captured the "spirit" - We all know when "green is green" - (Dig your new Avatar!)

@Fionauu - Yes.. I too am a "water chugger"

@iwanttobe - Great story! :-)

@ktaylormusic - Isn't it great when we can get back having fun with our kids!

@Miridai - Great to be back - keep bouncing! :-)

@funkygranola - Way to navigate the obstacles ! :-)

@bruce - Go for it

@twijourney - green! yes - and thanks for the welcome back!

4/2- Green - yes
Blue- yes


@ktaylormusic- What a touching moment to have with your daughter. I'm sure it means the world to her that you can play with her. Jumping rope is tough!

@twijourney- rest days are killer, they really take some will power and planning to stay green for me.

@funkygranolat- sounds like you have planned ahead for tonight's dinner as much as possible. Have a great time and I'm sure you'll do fine!

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.

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

4/3
Green- Yes
Blue- Yes

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!

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.

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 ????????

edited for spelling - predictive text Aaaarrrggh!!

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.
