    Sorry it's a rough one. Some days you just have to do what you can and let the rest go. I am glad you didn't throw it out the window. Hope the days get better as the week goes along.

    Hi Team! I am having a rough/emotional today. I almost threw everything out the window. I'm glad I didn't though. I hope to finish this challenge with all of you.

    Maicap22, I'm so glad you decided not to throw everything out the window. You are an integral link in our chain. We need you to help keep all of us above the water. Sure hope your day goes much more smoothly and you're able to ride out the storm.

    Last night's run was awesome! 4.19 miles in 56 minutes, plus an additional 1.2 miles walking for 22 more minutes. Considering I had neck surgery on December 18 following a year full of injuries and illnesses, I think I'm doing pretty good getting back to the same running ability I had before 2015. I love having this Team to be accountable to as well.

    Get out there and crush it, y'all!

    Hi all. Hope you had a great day - my work day has been a weird one, but as I bus to work instead of getting on bus at stop 3/4mins away from house, I walked to town centre 12-15mins in the pouring rain this morning just to ensure I got some minutes in. Hope your all smashing your goals and just enjoying your day most off all. :) xx weighed in, not taking the result as my weekly personal weigh as that is Friday and I know body weight fluctuates on different days and times. accountability challenge done and road block 2 is now 3/5. getting there.

    Got out of bed and did 30 minutes of weight training today. Finished Day 23 of the 27 Day Squat Challenge, did the arms challenge for today, and had Greek yogurt.

    Hey everyone! My goodness these squats are killing me! 130 of them today and at 330 in the am. My workday started at 430 am sooo I got to keep my commitment to myself and did that and the arm challenge first upon waking. Its so much easier for me to do it early and not have to worry about it later on. Hope everyone elses day is going good! My walk along the caloosahatchee river was awesome yesterday! Took some nice pictures too. If you guys instagram my name is mermaidkaci and you can see some of them!

    Just wanted to share how lucky I am to have a partner that'll cook me dinner to support me in this journey. Has anyone had a salad made from italian parsley as the greens?! It is delicious!

    Bad week. My grandma has been in the hospital and had surgery yesterday. No workout but I did eat well and got a greek salad for dinner. I am a little lost on everything. Is there a thread that states what everything is roadblocks etc. I am doing the no sugar.

    Oh girl. I am so sorry to hear about your grandma. Good for you for sticking to eating a healthy dinner even with the emotional turmoil and stress I am sure you are feeling. I hope things went well in your grandma's surgery and the prognosis is good. Keep on keeping on, @trishfit2014

    Looking forward to a lovely Thursday and a rocking Thursday night run! Hope everyone has an amazingly lovely day.

    Added yesterday's minutes to the spreadsheet. We have already recorded 47.4% of the week's minutes in the first three days, and not everyone has recorded them yet. We are killing the active miles!

    Trishfit, so sorry about your grandma, hope she makes a quick recovery.

    Visionmet, your salad made me hungry! My hubby likes to bring sweet treats into our home. I'm holding my own and won't give in!

    Done with my challenges today! All my exercises done! Was craving sweets, had banana and Clementine instead...trying to remember there are points on the line...:)

    Hope everyone is doing well!
