lamlam, awesome job with all the raking! I bet you can see all your grass now.

Awesome step total for the 6th, bennettinfinity! Yay for spring!

Great steps, brandiwells1, but as you say, don't overdo it.

Dancing, getting out of our routine can definitely screw up those of us who like habits and patterns. Of course, life isn't going to let us always do the same thing over and over again, so it's important to work out how to roll with the punches and take care of the exercising and the resting--and the rest of life! I'm glad you've worked out how to incorporate that into your healthy lifestyle. I feel like I'm doing better with it this time around, too. (My eating worked the same way in the past; I'd be so, so, so good for months, but once I screwed up or was invited out to a dinner that threw my calorie goals all out of whack, I was way more likely to say screw it to the rest of the day/week/month.) This time, I feel as though I have a better handle on it and can incorporate treats and real life into my usually more regimented routine. Only time will tell, of course, but I'm feeling positive about it!

mlh612 - I think it was barbiecat who posted the Baryshnikov quote about only competing against yourself... so no worries - you're still here and doing great! :flowerforyou:

And I'll second (third?) dancing and phoenix's take on breaks. I think they benefit the body *and* the mind by breaking up the constant grind of the routine - but it's important that you *have* a routine. If you have a bad day (or a bad couple of days), you know, sometimes the dragon wins... You just need pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and you get back to the routine as quickly as you can.

Day 1 : 11723
Day 2 13850
Day 3: 18439
Day 4: 10908
Day 5: 8266
Day 6: 16999
Day 7: 8119
Day 8: 11820

That's 112,252 so far... It's impressive when you do the math! Good job everyone so far!
