Challenge 3 ---Donner on Dancer---Complete
1-I use my Fitbit- I never go under 10,000 steps -unless I have a good reason.
2-I log my food faithfully.
3- Try not to purchase foods that tempt me.
4-Drink lots of water.
5-Plan my menu`s for the week.
6-Shopping- continue to go to the markets.
7- Now I always make time everyday for exercise.
8- Treat my self-
Something new I like to do is joining a gym. That will have to wait until Sept.4 -
M-W were super long packed days! Let's just say three 12-14 hour days is enough this time of year!!!!!
Today was a bit better!
I really won't have time to do challenges until Sunday, but I will; I'm going to do Nemo and first challenge then.
For the last challenge, 8 choices I want to continue:
1. Viewing my life through the lens of gratitude; when I feel lucky, I don't 'need' to eat to fill a hole.
2. Getting enough sleep; makes all the difference
3. Spend less time working at home --- hahhahahaa! As much as possible, I guess.
4. Exercise as many days a week as I can
5. Be forgiving when I need to tend to the kids' and students' needs and I get put on the back burner
6. Eat 600 calories or less before 5pm
7. Focus on increasing protein to meet protein goal
8. Drink more water!!!
Something new I would like to pick up:
Strength training. I have spent a lot of time walking/running/biking. I think I need a change.4 -
On the subject of terrible bosses - I've sure had my share! At my organization they promoted people to their highest level of incompetence and then let them have free reign to make their subordinate's lives a living he11 in the interest of making the big bosses happy (kissing booty). My last boss actually told me his greatest pleasure in life was catching people goofing off! He was about 6'5" and would wander around peering into people's cubicles hoping to catch them "not working". It was such a climate of fear and intimidation that even the hardest workers were afraid of being written up. I sat right next to him so I was pretty aware of his movements. Mostly I just kept my head down and did my job so he didn't bother me much, but everyone else completely despised him.
About 6 months after I retired he was unexpectedly laid off along with 30 other mid-level managers. Finally, they cleaned house. I heard he hasn't found another job. What goes around comes around, as they say!3 -
Feeling a little better, so managed to get some parts of the challenge completed some yesterday and some today.

complete
Challenge 2: A Canuck's Choice
I chose to do the Rajio Taiso from the visit to Kyoto. I started on Wednesday and since it's 2 videos per day for 5 days, it will take me until Sunday to get finished. Because I'm still feeling puny I figured I'd be able to pull that one off and still meet the challenge.
2/5 complete
Challenge 3: On Donner, On Dancer!
Eight lifestyle choices to continue:
1. Practice gratitude - find something every day to be grateful for and that brings me joy.
2. Stay active - do things that I enjoy like aquasize, yoga, walking, and disc golf.
3. Log my food diary, but don't get obsessive about it. Skipping a day here and there is OK.
4. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day.
5. Take my vitamins.
6. Encourage others to make healthy choices, but don't be judgemental or preachy about it.
7. Celebrate my victories and practice self-love. I will never be model perfect, but I can be very happy with the body I have and the improvements I see as time goes by.
8. Continue doing MFP challenges with awesome people who have similar goals!
One lifestyle choice to add: (Sorry, but I have 3 for this coming year.)
1. Organize my physical space while letting go of the need for perfection.
2. Complete the 10K Great Columbia Crossing. (We cancelled due to our dog needing surgery, but then it was cancelled anyway due to weather.)
3. Eat the food I have grown and put up/preserved. I have an entire freezer full of food, so I need to go "shopping" in my own grocery store.
@MissionEnforcer for Challenge #3.2 -
I ran this morning. I'm away at a conference and finding it hard to get the extra minutes! It's so cold out, is hard to do anything outside! After the conference I went to the mall and walked the length of the mall for 20 minutes. When I got to my parents condo I went up and down the stairs and through all 4 floors, but that was only 5! I'm going to try to do a long run tomorrow morning, but it's supposed to be -33c!3
-
@Mrscanmore - that is crazy cold! I have been whining about it being right at freezing here. It is 33F right now, which is pretty cold for us. We actually had a dusting of snow today, so we think it's winter. (They closed a bunch of the schools already.) LOL3

@MissionEnforcer for Challenge #3.
Only recently have I started forcing myself to use all the food I have at home. We're so used to having our pantries, shelves, refrigerators & freezers full of food! Then, we go to the store & because something's on sale, we buy it! I used to throw away tons of fresh fruit & vegetables! Thankfully I'm doing much better & working to get better still!

This completes all of my challenges, so I should be up to date on the spreadsheet.

This is me exactly. Always having an eye out for a bargain and overbuying produce when it's on sale. So fresh and looks so good, but not able to use it all up. I'm also doing much better at it, but it's definitely a change in the mind-set.
My minutes are pretty sad this week, but I will get all the challenges done.

Hi Guys.. sorry I have been MIA but I am here
Last week of school for me and I am neck deep in finals!! Plus... if you haven't heard, the Midwest got hit with a nasty blizzard, so I have been house bound most of the week 
We got 18" of snow in a 2 day period and now today started out at -14 degrees when I woke up, brrrr!!!
Needless to say.. I have been trying to keep up and keep going
Challenge #1: This was a great way for me to get some exercise inside. I was just happy no challenges were outside this week!!
Challenge #2:
I chose this one because it was a lot of fun the first time, plus I bought a jump rope so I figured I should get some more use out of it!
TRY JUMPING ROPE AT LEAST THREE TIMES,
10 MINUTES EACH,
FOR A TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES!
If you don’t have a jump rope, you can improvise with an electrical cord (unplug it first!), a regular rope, a dog leash!
***IMPORTANT: IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN EXACTLY 10 MINUTE INTERVALS. IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE STRAINING OR PULLING TOO MUCH, BREAK THE 30 MINUTES UP INTO SMALLER TIME INCREMENTS!***
Challenge #3:
1. Dasher - No late night snacking.
2. Dancer - Drink more water.
3. Prancer - Get outside as much as possible.
4. Vixen - Try new forms of exercise.
5. Comet - Get silly! Some of the challenges seemed "silly", but ended up being the most fun (dancing, drumming)!!
6. Cupid - Staying on track by staying under calories.
7. Donner - Making better food choices.
8. Blitzen - Moving, as much as possible!!
9. Rudolph - I would like to take time out of my day - 10 minutes or more - and use this as a quiet time to reflect, relax etc. I would like to start at 2 - 3 minutes a day and increase it gradually. During this time, I would like to shut down and connect with myself. No phone, no internet, no kids/husband around etc.5 -
Update - While I love the Rajio Taiso workouts, I didn't want to wait until Sunday to get this one done, so I switched up Challenge #2 to the following:
Challenge 2: A Canuck's Choice
1. "Train Like a Sumo"
2. Completed today 12/9/2016
3. Posted on Fab 5 thread
4. I chose this one because I'd love a shapely butt and I also wanted to get Challenge #2 finished.
5. 10 points added to the spreadsheet
Also re-posting Challenge #3 because I didn't number it correctly. Same list, but adding #9 per the instructions (want to make sure I get the points validated)!

@MissionEnforcer for Challenge #2 and #3.3 -
Been dreading the ab video challenge, but they aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. I like the 6 minute one better than the 12 minute dumbbell one, but they both might make it into my workout repertoire since I need to do more core work, and planks are a drudge to do all the time. So, I got one set of the ab videos done this evening, and plan to do one more set tomorrow (though if I'm motivated I might try to knock it out later tonight after dinner).
Sad I didn't finish my weigh ins here on a loss, but was so happy to see my NSV for the day. You always have to find something to boost your morale when the scale and tape measure aren't cooperating. Thanks for the kind comments about the picture I posted on my feed.
Ugh, need to get some planks done since I skipped them yesterday. And probably some more gazelle tonight to get some minutes (while watching TV). Hope everyone is having a grand Friday! I can't believe this is our last weekend together as a Team...

Finished Challenge #1 this morning. I did the first video on Monday, the second video on Wednesday, and did them both again this morning. I was surprised how much I felt those in my legs!
I completed Challenge #2 on Wednesday, but I noticed my 10 points are still in red. If I missed doing something to get the credit, let me know. Here's what I posted on Wednesday:
Challenge 2 - Finding Nemo
1.) SIMPLY CHOOSE ONE OF THE THIRTEEN ABOVE CHALLENGES - DONE
2.) DO IT- DONE
3.) POST ON YOUR THREAD WHICH ONE YOU DID - DONE
4.) STATE WHY YOU CHOSE THE ONE YOU DID! - because I've realized how little upper body strength I have and how flappy my arms are!
5.) PUT 10 POINTS IN THE APPROPRIATE CHALLENGE BOX - DONE
This will probably be it for me this week. We are leaving at 8 am Saturday morning to visit friends and go to a Christmas concert. We will not be home until Sunday late. This has been such a great challenge and I have thoroughly enjoyed every "minute" - pun intended!

Friday: 71 minutes3

I've just got 1 video left. I did the short one twice yesterday, and then the longer one once today. I'll finish tomorrow.3
