@mari_moulin how do you like cise??
Wow I love it l. I had done it once before and didn't come back to it then today I did it with my son and we had a blast doing it. He asked if we could do it again tomorrow!! I am wondering why I never came back to itbits so much fun.1 -
Nothing frustrates me more then people who don't shovel their sidewalks. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it snowed late last night. But it better be done tonight. I need to get this walk in.
And it's still snowing. Beautiful weather last week and now that we have an outdoor challenge, snowstorm. 4 -
@TaraDanielle40 I usually end up walking in the streets because they are cleaner than the sidewalks. I can't wait for spring and summer.2

Hoy hey, starving today! I was like this yesterday, too. Just realized TOM is coming next week and that would be why I'm so hungry. OF COURSE the week we have an under calorie challenge haha. Ugh, I'll stay strong!4

Hoy vey, starving today! I was like this yesterday, too. Just realized TOM is coming next week and that would be why I'm so hungry. OF COURSE the week we have an under calorie challenge haha. Ugh, I'll stay strong at least Monday - Friday, for you guys! But I am eating lots of exercise calories back. Which isn't normal for me, just this time of the month. And at least I'm keeping the food healthy! (Healthier?) I had 2 squares of dark chocolate earlier
And that's motivation to burn lots of cals during my workouts, so I can eat more than my norm and get away with it. 5 -
OK I got that run in "3.55 miles" ... Challenge #2 COMPLETE , and did the 12 minutes of active videos. I have added my minutes so far today and we still sit 11 points from first place !! I plan to get more done later, SO I will add that as well when I get it done.
Tomorrow I will do challenge #1.
SO far SO good on challenge #3 just need to hang in there a few more days..LOL5 -
I worked really hard today. I spent all morning & a good part of the afternoon, lifting tile off of my laundry room & bathroom floor. It was really stuck good! I still have more too do, but my hands are very very sore. It will be hard to do weight lift tomorrow. Needless to say, as I was going out for my walk, I found out that the guy who is helping us was coming over & we hadn't done the tiles as he had asked, so there went my hike in the snow opportunity. Hopefully it will happen tomorrow, although it is going to be much colder & I have an electrician & a plumber & a heating a cooling guy that I have to work around. I have been wanting this done for years, so maybe I will get up really early so that I can at least get the weights done!
I did the dancing after supper, and I am on track for eating under my calories. DH offered me a beer & I resisted. Beer & Keto do not mix!

@mari_moulin Your little man is so adorable! Looks like you've got a new gym partner too!
Well team, I got an 89 on my cardio exam!! If y'all ever want fun facts about hypertension drugs, holla at your girl. After the exam I had like a two hour break between classes, so I knocked out the 5k outside and then some, walked an hour outside. Thankfully it was a sunny day, tad windy but I was warm. I did an additional 45 minutes on the elliptical after classes..
I usually do 2 protein smoothies a day: one for breakfast and then one in the evening as my dinner sometimes with fruit or snacks. BUT... I forgot that it was nephew's birthday dinner tonight so I had to forgo my 2nd smoothie and now I'm staaaarving waiting for dinner. Ahhh. We're doing mussels and crabs per my nephew's request (he's turning 6), and then having tres de leche cake. Hopefully I'll stay under, but if not I'm sure I can maintain over the weekend.4 -
Just finished the dancing videos, they were a lot of fun4
-
Hey friends! Just did the dancing videos. I am SO glad nobody was watching me because I am one of the least coordinated people I know. Dancing is not one of my preferred exercises but I did it just for you all
Plus I did the extra active minutes videos, plus a short run while my son was at choir...productive day! Still on track for staying under calories too

So I just spent 40 minutes hiking around the yard in over a foot of snow to get in one outdoor mile. Now to bed I go. I am tired. We are currently in first place good job everyone.

Geez, a foot of a snow is a lot to trek through. Have you tried seeing if maybe you can modify the challenge since it's that bad?

I haven't taken the entire day to hit my step goal in a very long time. Oh well, at least I finally hit it. Other than my killer workout this morning, in was kinda a bum today! Tomorrow I'll do better
Only 10 points out of first, good work team! 3 -

I did my 5K tonight with hubby. I have continuing education classes tomorrow and Thursday so my schedule will be a little askew. I'm not a morning person so getting my exercise done before class won't work! If nothing else I will do stair stepper at night. Sorry this has to be short I have to get my breakfast made and to bed!3

Hey Team just checking in!! I just looked at the spreadsheet and we are in first place!! WOO!! Hope you are doing well. I've just got back from the Gym (killed it today) and did all my challenge videos. Loved that last one. Stromae is a great French artist I love him and the dancing was fun too. Not too bad on the arms like last weeks videos. Lets get those workouts done!!I am trying hard to make up for my missed workout time on Monday. I might do another Cize video tonight if I can muster up the strength to do more.4

Hi team, I see we're in first place. I got the first 2 challenges done. I think 5 was my favorite dance (I did them Monday night, and I know I liked one of them a lot more than the others). I too am glad no one was watching because I am totally uncoordinated. Once in a live Zumba class I tripped over my feet, and ended up on my butt! I was so embarrassed! I got my walk in last night. The sidewalks were still a little snowy & icy, but I bundled up and actually was pretty warm. I was only at a little over 2 miles when I got back to my street, and it was getting darker, so I just walked up and down the sidewalk on my own street until I hit 3.1 miles. The neighbors probably thought I was crazy. It's supposed to get colder over the next couple of days, so I figured I better get it in. I also went to the gym with my husband. He is a beginner exerciser due to instructions from the doctor, so we only get about 35 minutes in before he's done. He has to work his 2nd job the next 3 nights, so I'll be on my own, and hopefully will get in more time. I got 95 minutes yesterday, but am a little stiff today! Keep up the good work everyone!5

I thought I would include a picture of me from last night trying to get a mile walk in...lol. I will persevere! Go Team 4!12 -
Haha @bowlt
Well, if you saw my status, I'm having a bad day. My 4:00 gym alarm went off, I woke up, and just wasn't feeling it. Went back to sleep, woke up again at 6:30ish and turned on the news and quickly began feeling grateful I didn't go. Roads were slick, lots of accidents. Usually when I don't go in the morning I immediately work on figuring out when another time during the day will work for me. Talk with the hubby, see when he'll be home so he can hangout with Davie, maybe go while Davie's at half day kindergarten, then work from home the rest of the day. Something. Not today. I'm just not feelin it, and I'm thinking its hormones. Reading all your posts has motivated me to at least get something done today. I think it'll be the videos, then I'll get the team some points and also get miles in. I might even ask my son to go outside and do the 5K with me. It's cold, but we can bundle up. He does a good job of motivating me because usually once I bring up working out in any way to him, he's all for it and won't let me change my mind.
Hope you're all having a better hump day than I am

HI team!
I don't think I will make it to the gym today, but I will definitely go for a walk. The sun is shining & it isn't too cold. Just waiting for an electrician go come, then I am heading out. I put my garmin on when I was shovelling this morning, just in case I run out of time.
Awesome job keeping us in 1st place everyone!3 -
Went for a walk this morning and it was cold. Only did half of what I normally do because of it. Glad I've already got my walk challenge done. My husband and I started a 30 day yoga program a few days ago. I'm enjoying it and it's helping me get more minutes. So win win. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!4
-
I got more of the outside work in at lunch today. Brought all of my warm snow clothes to work, bundled up and went to the cemetery since it is plowed there. Only half mile left to go. I am hoping to get that done tonight. Then I will start to tackle the videos.4
-
Have not been feeling well since my flight so no running or swimming yet this week. Luckily I have been able to work on videos and cycling and a few walks with the hubby, so minutes aren't too bad so far. Challenge #1 and #2 completed, and doing well toward #3 so far (easier this week as I really have no appetite).5
-
I don't have school on Wednesdays, so I decided to take my nephew for a stroll around town. He went to sleep not even 5 minutes in. Did a walk around town for like ~48 minutes, then I helped unload a bunch of boxes for my family restaurants truck day. Phew, definitely broke a sweat, so I counted 30 minutes for that.
I hope the team members that aren't feeling 100% feel better! Last I looked, we are still in first place. I'm hoping to top my minutes from last week, let's make this our week guys6 -
Hi team, sorry I was a bit late logging my exercise minutes for Monday and yesterday. Got 100 and 80 minutes respectively and updated our sheet. I believe I went over my calorie goal yeaterday so 1/5 days complete. Hoping to keep to my calorie goal the rest of the week. Taking a break from karate today. My body is screaming at me but will get a walk in at a slower pace to complete challenge 2 and hope to get the dances done tonight as well. Stay strong team!3

The other agent in my office was out today, and I was going crazy sitting at my desk. So I opted for some rearranging. Change is always nice for me in the office, but let me tell you that furniture was a whole lot heavier than it looked. The ginormous printers weren't a treat to move, either. Oh well, gave myself some exercise minutes for it.
The little guy and I just got back from our walk. The sun was peaking through and the wind wasn't too bad, so we're happy!!
I'm gonna do the videos shortly. Getting more minutes in today than I expected in would, yay!
I've been following a blog called Lambert's Lately for some time now. She has this "Monthly Cleaning Schedule" basically breaking down morning and evening tasks that you should do every day, a chore for each day and a room of the week column where you get the nitty gritty of parts of that room each day that week. You know, the things you don't really do when you're cleaning whole house because you're just trying to get it done. I'm on day 3, and it takes me about an hour and a half/day(depending how many times I have to remind little Davie what his share of the tasks are ). I'm hoping once I get in the swing of it I'll get it done quicker and more efficiently. But it doesn't seem so intimidating the way she breaks it down! The room for this week is the kitchen, and I'm only on day 3 and that things looking mighty sparkly and clean! I actually write all of my meals for the week in a planner, and last week I wrote in the cleaning tasks for each day. It makes the room of the week chores easy to maintain and keep track of! And that way I put one big task with some smaller tasks so it isn't too much in one day. And I have it set up so I can get it all done during the week and have minimal cleaning over the weekend it seems like I spend most of my Saturdays cleaning lately so I'm hoping this helps eliminate that! Plus it stops me from coming home and sitting on my booty
Wow, I just really rambled about cleaning haha - sorry!6
