I ran, I ran, I ran! Woohoo! It felt good. I did not lose any fitness by taking so much time off. I will get new shoes today & a Garmin viva active watch. I still want the apple watch but the Garmin one is better for running & exercise. Maybe someday Apple will add a gps to the watch so that it works better. Have a great day!

Good morning girls!

Great news Lisa! So glad that you got out there and felt so good. Such a great feeling! I would love an apple watch someday too. I have a fitbit, my kids bought it for me for my birthday. I guess the Vivoactive watch must have a gps does it? I would love that. When I run now I use the Runkeeper App on my iphone.

Brenda - Good for you with the pushups! I still can't do more than a couple. Which of the Chalean workouts are you liking the most? I find Phase 1 workous 2 and 3 hard.....but butt is always twitching when I'm done. LOL

Today I am going to run, no idea what the distance will be. I am working a full week this week but today I go in from 2-8 so have all morning to myself.

Ok back at it again. At least I keep getting back at it. I have just under 7 months to reach my goal. We are going on a cruise on January 30th & I want to be proud of our family picture this year. I am trying to book us a really active/expensive tour in St. Kitts & I want to enjoy it. It is mostly about the pictures though. I can pretty much to everything but don't like how I look in pictures. Lol. Happy Canada day!

Part of my problem is usually sleep related. Last night I could not sleep due to work stress, I finally fell asleep some time after 3:45, so I slept in and didn't run. I planned to go for a walk at lunch time, but our store was too busy. I did well on the eating front, even though I was tired. I will run tomorrow no matter what. I don't have any real stress today, so hopefully I will sleep well. I have got to drink more water. I know how to do this. Just have to be consistent.

Hi all! Yep, beginning of a new month and things need to change. I'm like you Maureen, exercise is going great, but the eating needs a LOT of help! The Core 20 has about 2 minutes of plank exercises at the end, not too bad really. I'm not a plank fan either, but they say it's the best way to strengthen your core. I'm going to start a plan challenge I found on Pinterest today. Starts with a 20 second plank and at the end of the month a 240 second plank. We'll see how it goes!! I started the Push circuit of Chalean - am quite sore today, but love it!

Lisa, hope your sleep is getting better! Yep, makes for a rough day when you can't sleep at night. A friend of mine runs at 8 pm every night to relieve stress. She says she sleeps like a log!

Have a great Sunday!

We went camping for a few days. It was fun & relaxing. Got lots of walking & biking in, but also lots of camping snacks & drinks lol. Back at it (yep, again!) today. I got my run in & so far I am on track with eating. Somehow running reduces my appetite so I really should run every day

Good morning! Can't believe that its already the 29th of July. This summer is going to go way too fast. I wish winter would fly by too. lol
We also went camping last weekend Lisa, did some running on the beautiful trails, and some biking and swimming....but of course camping means treats. I didn't overdo the food too much but I had wine each night.

Brenda, sounds like you have good good exercise regime on the go. I am going to do some strength today, and the running is coming along. Slow but sure!

I had company arrive yesterday, and from here til August 16th will be very busy. We are going to Quebec as my hubby is doing and Ironman in Mont Tremblant, so that will be a nice little trip. After that not sure what I will have on the go.
