Good morning everyone. Muve videos are done. I enjoyed them but I have to say that the hypnotizing man music was my least favorite song. I've been eating under my calories this week and I'll finish my four miles today after water aerobics! Let's get Muving team!!

@SmashleyM914 All those blank spots are depressing.

Hi everyone!
I was very productive yesterday. After my walk, I started to deep clean my house. I have been depending on my kids to clean, because I don't have the time/energy to work 6-7 days a week, cook, clean, exercise, yard work.. so cleaning is what always goes south for the summer months. I washed walls, floors, moved furniture the entire afternoon. I will give myself an extra 45 minutes for it, even though it was at least 4 hours. I am giving myself 2 weeks to clean every part of my house (maybe even the kids rooms!)

Half way through my run today I noticed my Garmin battery died. I almost went home, but continued & did what I had planned even though the steps did not count. I did the sitting MUVE video this morning & will do one or 2 more today a some point during the day. Don't worry though I will get them done

I updated the spread sheet. I will probably do more today. My goal for the week is 600 minutes

I had things to do this week and working out is hard to get in but I mapped out the road where I work and it is .91miles, before I got in the car to go home I walked it.. Then I watched one of the videos and did 1 of the workouts. last night. I had to pick up my hula hoop while I watched the one. I am thinking more of the little times I can sneak in short workouts. Second thought is that my calorie is set at 1200 + EX. This is really hard. on monday I came in at like 1384 and my goal is 1351. I am guessing I can't count Monday. Tues I worked out more with fitbit on.

@novten82 chained to the chair for a couple of days. I have a choice to walk or eat. 1/2 hour lunch. I am out to get that .91 in right now. Enough for work today. Maybe I need a cordless phone at work. I had to do some genealogy stuff this morning. Who else steps up to be on a board when no one else will for secretary. Of all things?? What was I thinking?? Well my 2 years are almost done. I am sitting on my hands come the meeting in Feb.

@SmashleyM914 I have had the spreadsheet phone issue you mentioned before. Or when I access the spreadsheet on my phone it just spins....Thus, I gave up doing spreadsheet on phone and wait till I can get to computer.

Good morning all.

I have been for my run & I am doing a lot of stretches today.

I have increased my activity so much in the past 2 months (from doing nothing to running almost everyday) that I think my body is starting to complain. Adding weights the past 2 weeks I seem to have hurt my Piriformis (a muscle in your bum that causes lots of pain), probably because I did not give myself any time to recover from weighted squats. Last night I was rolling it out in the hot tub & my toes went numb, so I think it is time to do something..

We are going on a cruise in 18 days, so I am not going to weight lift until we get back, and I will decrease the intensity of my runs & add in Yoga & lots of stretching. The last thing I want is to be so uncomfortable while traveling that I can't enjoy anything. Right now, I can't sit through supper at home & have to leave the table. It is hard to sit at my desk at work too.

Why did rinde99 put 0 for activities? Does that mean that she dropped out?

Have a great day!

@lpeltenburg I would suggest a visit to the chiropractor. Better to do it soon and recover, than be miserable for the next 18 days and throughout vacation!

It was "demo day" here last night. We're taking out the chimney of our old farmhouse to allow for a half bath upstairs. We got two floors worth of bricks cleared out and two hours of squats before my husband and I were both exhausted. The last section tonight and it's gone! Then I have to clean up the dust EVERYWHERE!

I'll get the videos done this morning. Hopefully, I'll get a walk in before dark but it gets dark so early now that it's usually dark before I'm off work.

Yes Rinde99 has dropped out, and Calli1616 will be leaving as well, I'm waiting to hear back if she's going to help us finish the week or not.

We're going to have to pick up the pace with these drop outs! Doing good so far though, week in 2nd for the week!!

too bad about the drop outs, but awesome that we are in 2nd! Great job team!

Calli1616 has put in some stats for the week. The only other one that hasn't is Ellebee332. Is she still with us? I'm so glad to see the filled in spreadsheet today. We made to our destination. Now we are just working on those bonus points. I'm going to finish up the videos tonight and I'm still on track with my food.
@lpeltenburg Glad you're not feeling too bad. Wish I was going on a cruise in 18 days.

We are back in third now. Those in first and second are killing it.

Four videos done. That was fun. Will do videos and hiking tomorrow.

I was able to get another mile in today while I waited to pick up my granddaughter from school. I didn't even get wet! Yeah!

We finished up the demo of the chimney tonight. Tomorrow will be dusting everything from top to bottom! The thing I like about demo is that it means another project is going to get done!!! @lynnbaum It was a very exhausting job! We generally do all of our own renovations except electrical and plumbing. Fortunately we have good friends in both of those fields. But now there is room for a half bath between the two bedrooms upstairs, a small coat closet on the main floor and just plain old more room in the basement. It's amazing how much room it took up!
