    Attempt 3 at posting this. Wouldn't take my post on the app.

    September Goal: 1200 exercise minutes.
    Today: 60 minute walk to the grocery store. 3.56 miles. It was raining but I was so thrilled to have 70 degree weather I didn't care about the rain. :)

    120 minutes down. 1080 minutes to go.

    Hi all, this is my second month on low carb. My goal is to workout 5 - 6 times a week for about 30 to 45minutes.

    I went for a walk today. It was brisk because it started raining and the temperature dropped to about 10C. It feels like fall already!

    I think I'll try this plank challenge some of you all have going on. 20 seconds doesn't sound so bad. 5 minutes though? Eek!

    We can do it!!

    Elbows are harder you could try on your hands till you build up strength

    Checking in-steps for 9/1 &9/2 (goal 12k/day)

    9/1: 13,032
    9/2: 12,700

    No headway yet at the scale. Weighed in yesterday at the same weight as last Friday. I'd
    been up 1/2# since Wednesday, so I guess that is good.
  • My step it up goal for September:
    -buckle down on my food choices, increase my protein intake
    -get back to regular exercise now that it's cooler

    Whoo hoo! Love this challenge. I am going to aim for 3 workouts a week of at least 30 minutes and walking the in between days at least a mile (hopefully shaving time each week). My fitness goal is to be able to complete this workout! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM-Z3axdxUg&index=11&list=PLZnXrkQ3gnrcRytgksSSCFNJmGJtgatXG
    I'm also doing a SCALE LESS CHALLENGE for my FB group (Ketogenic Success if anyone is interested :) ) so no weighing for me but I will be measuring and taking pics :)

    Scale less challenge..that's a great idea! I need to stop doing that but to measure & take pics. We always get so caught up when it comes to weighing ourselves.

    I'm also part of that group and doing the Scaleless September challenge. Nearly messed it up this morning out of sheer zombie-like habit but I caught myself in time!

    Sept. 3
    AM Cycling: 11:30. The next level became easier faster than expected last night, so I'm using it as the easy level, going one higher for PM.
    Breakfast: 5PM
    PM Cycling: 5:45
    +Walking to the game shop (2 miles) to greet friends and get a scooter ride home with my wizard. Fitbit adds our scooter shaking as steps, so I don't count them, but I need to get out of the house!
