Happy Wonderful Wednesday
I hope yours has not been a Wacky Wednesday (Dr. Seuss)
You will not believe what I did.
Last night I could not get to sleep so fixed a cup of hot "get some zzz's™ tea". Mind you - had no thought of food, but I opened the refrig door and found a handful of red sweet cherries.
I barely stayed green b/c of all the snacking I did yesterday.
Goal = 26/31
green = 7/31
red = 0
Streak = 6 Streak goal = 10
How are all of the streakers doing? Are we still green?
"See" you all tomorrow!!

Total 7/28 - This streaker is on fire! Hehehe.
I did a run/walk combo today, and it was great. I actually did better time-wise today than what I've done in a long time.
After checking out the Gymboss online, I think I could really use one. I'm going to order it and see if I like it. Thanks @bbinoa for telling me about it! I can't wait to get your feedback regarding it until mine comes.
@jenthibert That was an impressive walk!
@R_Queenie Glad you enjoyed your vaca/anniversary. Back to reality now!
@k80flec Welcome back! Yes, the vibe is great with this group. The interaction and support is priceless!
@Rebamae You're the ultimate streaker! Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Green? Yup.
Total: 7/23
Knees are feeling better this morning - think I'm ready for a GENTLE run/walk tonight - really looking forward to it!
@Rebamae - I was red on the 7th, so no streak at this point. You're sure rocking it, though! Good on you!
@Laughter_Girl Glad you enjoyed run/walk!
@bbinoa Will be interested to hear how you like your Gymboss... (you too, @Laughter_Girl, when it comes)
@jenthibert Wut, 10 miles??? Do you walk with someone? Listen to audiobooks? In any case, it's impressive.
@R_Queenie We need those fun breaks sometimes, right? Hope your fresh start is going well!
@k8flec Good to see you! Hope it was a gun road trip.

I'm visiting family this weekend, going to try to fit in a 5 mile run/walk on Sunday. I'll be giving the gymboss its inaugural run! It's a multiple birthday celebration though so I guess I'll be running off a bunch of cake
@Rebamae. ... you've been streaking all over the place this month!! Wowie!!
@jenthibert.... 10 miles, woot!!!!
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this group! What a fun bunch we are!! I look forward to checking in and seeing how everyone is doing and what you're up to.0 -
7.9
Green: Yes
Total 8/28 - I'm streaking along.
I did a leisure walk today. I'm trying to adhere to this half marathon training schedule. It'll take some getting use to, but I must do it.
@bbinoa Looking forward to a full report regarding that Gymboss. I believe mine will arrive Tuesday, but I won't be able to actually use it until next Sunday. I'll be out of town all week after Monday. I hope both of us are happy with our purchases.0 -
7/9 green - Chevy (if I hadn't added bacon to my pizza, it would just be green)
8/25.
Green streaking with Rebamae on day 7 of 10
I ate a ton today because I exercised a ton today: 30 minute walk at lunch, HIIT class at 4:30 then back to the gym at 8 for leg day. I'll need every calorie for recovery while I sleep. I don't usually do the HIIT class, but my friend Amy was subbing and it was her very first class teaching. I just had to go support her.
Tomorrow is the Friday fast, so my calories will be down drastically compared to today.. I am going to a baseball game tomorrow instead of the gym so I will just be doing my lunch time walk.0 -
One more thing, speaking as someone who weight trains for fun, you long distance runners using a Gymboss cracks me up. Not one of you runs in the gym... shouldn't they call it a Runboss?

Red today so still 7 of 25 on July 9. This was unplanned but worth the red! It's not really red though, more a pinkish tinge. Lol0
-
@2marsh, there are 3 of us prepping for this together. We do the long walks together when we can. I did the Breast Cancer 3 Day walks 3 years in a row. That's 20 miles a day for 3 days. Lots of long training walks for those and sometimes alone. Audiobooks, listening to downloaded movies, music... Sometimes all in the same walk! Lol0

Went for a 5.5 mile run with a couple of walk breaks - not nearly as many as I should have taken but I was pumped. Knees are... ok this morning. I'll really know how it went when I see how I feel later today. Sure felt great last night, though!
@jenthibert That sounds both challenging and fun. I admire the dedication!
@k80flec Just realized I told you I hoped you had a *gun* road trip. I of course meant GOOD. But you probably realized that.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Eek, fast! Hope it goes well.0 -
Happy Fabulous Friday!!
My leg was really hurting again yesterday, but I did not graze my way through the pain!
green = 9*/31

How are all of you green streakers doing? Do we have anyone that is going to make goal at the end of today??
Onward and downward we go!

Green today! 8/25 on July 10.
Tomorrow is a planned red day. But I'm bringing the Veggie platter!0 -

Green: Yes
Total 9/28 - I'm streaking along.
I did a light run/walk combo. I am confident that my running will get better with time. Also, my Gymboss arrived today. Woohoo!! Two thumbs up for expedient shipping. I'll program it tomorrow, and use it Sunday if all goes well.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins I like the name "Runboss". Ha, ha, ha. I definitely don't run in the gym. Well, I have used the indoor track at the gym during the winter, but I hated it. I hope to not have to use it next winter. Ha, ha, ha.
@jenthibert Enjoy your day tomorrow, and eat some of those veggies you're taking.
@Rebamae I'll reach my green streak tomorrow. Hope you are doing well!
@2marsh You have great energy! Keep it up.0 -
7/10 - green 9/25
Streak - 8/10 - still streaking right along with Rebamae.
@2marsh - the Friday Fast isn't an "eek" fast. It's a religious decision to smaller meals and usually no meat on Fridays in commemoration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. I didn't skip meat, but I did have smaller meals and no desserts. It's a disciplineI have fallen out of, but want to get back to. (Most Americans Catholics , Episcopalians and Lutherans only do this during Lent.)
@jenthibert I wasn't just being nice, my grandmother's breast cancer metastasized to her bones. She died 22 years ago. Long before anyone knew who Susan G. Komen was. We are so much better at detection and cure now because of funds raised by people like you. And also, Way to go on the Veggie Platter! Small decisions lead to big changes.
@LaughterGirl your running will get better with time, mine has improved and I don't practice. I HATE running. I LOVE weightlifting and hiking. I run for Relay for Life Autism Speaks and the free medical clinic at which I volunteer. That's in March April and May and then I don't run again until the next Relay for Life.
Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm off to the gym soon.0 -

Knees are feeling great, and I'm feeling grateful. Went to try on wedding dresses yesterday, and was surprised to see that I'm fitting into a smaller size despite the scale moving so little. I'll take it!
Applause to the streakers! (I broke mine on the 7th but have been back on it since.)
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Oh, I can see how that type of fasting would not be an "eek" at all. Hope I didn't offend. I'm just so used to people talking about fasting as a nutritional strategy on these forums that my mind went straight there.
@Rebamae Yay for not grazing through the pain! I know exactly what you mean and have been there more times than I care to count. Hope your leg is feeling better soon.
@jenthibert Hope you enjoy your red day!
@Laughter_Girl Thanks so much!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -

@MelissaPhippsFeagins, so sorry about your grandmother. The first year I walked was a celebration for my mom's ten year anniversary as a breast cancer survivor. We've come a long way...
Today was red so still 8/25 but not by much. Lobster and steamed clams with all the fixings... I went for small servings and was able to refuse dessert. Didn't really appeal... It was an incredibly beautiful day on the coast of Maine with lots to celebrate and that's what I focused on!0 -
7.10
Green: Yes
Total 10/28 - Streak goal met. Woohoo!!
@Rebamae I reached my 10 Green streak. I'm willing to go for another round. I don't care if it's 5 or 10 days. It may be a little tough for me this week though because I'll be away at a conference. No home cooked meals for me. I'll do my best though.
Hope everyone had a fabulous day!!!0
