Good evening MFPals!
I just found this thread today. This is right up my alley. I started with eating better and exercising 1/27/16. It was slow in the beginning. I got pneumonia, bronchitis and a sinus infection all that the same time just prior to starting, felt better, went back on plan, then the illness reoccurred (never really was all the way better) in Feb. So essentially I had to detox twice. Not fun. I have a very bad knee from a car accident over 25 years ago. Excess weight has not helped matters. I started in Jan by doing laps (a lap) around the perimeter of my 3 acre yard. I progressively increased my endurance and stamina over weeks, increasing laps as well. I bought my Fitbit in April and have never looked back. Now I use my Fitbit to track my steps and my heart rate (LOVE THAT!) and that keeps me motivated. Some days are blah days and I don't do much. I guess that is true for most of us. I will most likely track my progress in steps and miles. Maybe even time per day. I also have a goal to participate in at least 1 5K walk per month throughout the warmer months. I started this in May and will go through Oct. or as long as it stays warm enough. Then I will do as much snowshoeing as the weather will allow here in VT. I do some HIIT workouts along with my walking but walking/hiking is my main activity. Thank you for starting this challenge. I would like to start by posting my Fitbit weekly report from the last 2 weeks as a means of "catching up" on starting 2 weeks into the challenge.
