Good morning team. I am sitting in the airport ready to go on vacation. I won't have internet access until Saturday (maybe Thursday). I will be active, so don't worry about my blank spots. I have decided to do the Transylvania twist & steps for my challenge I will be tight to get all the videos done on Saturday & Sunday but I will do my best. Last week! Keep up the good work team!4

The Spreadsheet is up and running!0

@lynnbaum I have not heard word of a January challenge yet, I sure hope there will be!
@mckeon11 and @Scherzie awesome job!!
@lpeltenburg I hope you have a wonderful time!!1 -
The last week!! We did it!! We made it!! And if the spreadsheet looked the same as it did last night, (I haven't been to a desktop to open it yet) we sure got out of that last place rut that we were stuck in for the first couple weeks. Proud of you all!!
I am taking off to Costa Rica at 5am on Wednesday, can't wait! I'm going to try my hardest to get those videos done today and tomorrow, and I will be hiking the Na Pali trail for the second trail. I've already got some hiking excursions booked in Costa Rica, and I'm excited to see that beautiful country!! I'll have wifi, so I'll check in and update the spreadsheet whenever I can!6 -
Hey, team...been MIA again. Bad news is I tore/sprained/did something bad to my MCL on my run on Saturday, so I'm barely able to walk, let alone run or do other leg-related exercises. Good thing we don't have a stairs challenge this week because that would NOT happen. But I have a hinged brace and some pain meds, and I'll do what I can for exercise to help the team! Hope you all are doing well!2

Oh no @carinamenina I hope you heal quickly!!1

@carinamenina make sure you take the time to let yourself heal, be patient with your body!!
Ok, my list of 8 choices and 1 new:
1. Make sure that I get my 80 ounces of water (at least) in EVERY day.
2. Eat some sort of breakfast every day, even if I am in a hurry and don't want to.
3. Park in the "far" lot at work so I can get in a few extra steps.
4. Take the stairs at work every time!
5. Listen to my body and when I am tired, take a rest day
6. Be aware of serving sizes and make sure that I am logging the correct amount in my diary, no more guessing.
7. Have healthy snacks available in my desk at work so that I am not starving by the time I get home at night.
8. Turn off my Nook at night in bed and make sure that I get at close to 7 hours of sleep
and my new one is
9. Do either plank, crunches or sit ups each night before bed, less than 5 minutes.

@carinamenina take it easy! You certainly don't want to make it any worse!
@scherzie Good job on your list! I am going to have to think on that for a bit.
I think I'm going to try to do the Australian choices. I know I can do the arms no problem. Hopefully my back will be ready to let me do the jumping a little at a time. It is much better today after my fourth visit to the chiropractor. I wish that we could choose two from any of the weeks. I would do the arms and the stairs, I know I could do those!1 -
@tarpguys You don't have to do both from that leg, only one. So you can just choose to do the arm one. Glad you are feeling a bit better.
@carinamenina Hope you are feeling better soon.
I hope everyone that is traveling this week has a great time.
I had a huge NSV yesterday. I went shopping with my husband and decided to try on some size 14 jeans. They actually fit! I don't even know when I was last a 14. Even when I've lost weight before I've only managed size 16 and I was usually starving. When I started walking in May I was wearing a size 20/22. Pretty darn proud of myself. I've also realized that walking in the cold weather is not that bad. My thinking it's going to suck and be freezing is usually much worse than what it actually is. I'll see if that is the same today because we have a cold front coming through and right now it's 7 degrees outside. I'm still planning on bundling up and walking for a bit.8 -
@darcijojo oh! so I can do the arms from Australia and the stairs from Peru? Oh that would be great! I can do that. I'm afraid that the jumping might be a little to jarring for my back yet, but walking and sitting are both easier now. Thank you! Congratulations on the new jeans!1

Since I tend to be a bit OCD when it comes to my health it's hard for me to put together a list as most of the things I do, I do out of habit. No I don't count the number of times to twist the doorknob or wash my hands but my hubby would tell you that there are worse things
.
Ok here is my list:
1. I will not put anything in my mouth that contains sugar, not refined, brown , or even organic cane sugar. "Sugar is sugar" and certainly NO High Fructose Corn Syrup!
2. I will continue to drink my water! A minimum of 68 oz per day which cannot include Iced tea.
3. I will limit the amount of caffeine drinks in one day to 3 (that means only 3 glasses of Iced tea per day, they can be large but only 3).
4. I will continue to work out daily and do my stretches each morning.
5. I will continue to eat 4-5 small meals throughout the day to keep my blood sugar stable.
6. I will continue to eat my fruits and veggies (but NO brussel sprouts or lima beans!)
7. I will continue to make my bed and clean up the house daily
8. I will continue to take the stairs whenever possible
And the new one is...
9. I will get my sewing room back in order and finish the 5 quilts I have started and finish the rewrites on my book.2 -
I'm on week 3 day 1 of C25K and contrary to my thoughts before and during the workout, I did not die! I'm amazed. I also didn't freeze to death when I went outside. I waited until it warmed up to 12 whole degrees.

@darcijojo - Congratulations on the size 14 jeans. That is a huge accomplishment!
@carinamenina and @targuys - I hope you both get better soon.1 -
Team, I am here this week. I have a big project at work taking a big chunk of time. It will be done tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm done the six minute ab video twice and I am doing finding nemo. I will get my minutes logged soon and I'll step up my game of exercise, too. I'll get the list done too.3

I have everything written down for the week so far. Will be logging it on Saturday when I can get on my desktop. Sheets app...grrrr2

For my challenges this week: Still working on #1 (videos)
#2, My choice is the NY, NY-Turkey Trot; It is a goal of mine to participate in a real 5k. I have stayed away from running always, thinking its just not meant for me. It seems so freeing and I envy it. So I have downloaded the c25k app and am plugging away at it. Its been good so far. Just finishing week one
#3. My lifestyle choices; My things that I work very hard for. 1. Monitoring my diet and daily logging. 2. increased daily water intake. 3. Not giving into sweets daily. 4. Allowing myself to give in but in moderation. 5. overall increased daily physical activity. 6. continue to stay the course regardless of life's hiccups. 7. believe others when they tell me that I am an inspiration to them, I was once that other person looking at others. 8. More veggies!!. And my new favorite, something that I truly struggle with. 9. Not beating myself up for a backslide. I have come so far and have stayed the course, this current gain will not win. I will increase my gym time and go back to basics on my diet. My kids will see me as a healthy person that still "lives" and not freak over food situations.
I would love to hear other people's rewards to themselves that are not food based. I struggle with allowing myself to give to myself.4 -
Hi team! Checking in from the Bahamas! Today I climbed queen Anne's staircase, Just for you.3
