    Morning Team,
    For those who are not well this week, hope you all feel better soon!
    For those that are on the mend, woo hoo!

    Yes, we have a way to go before getting to the finish line, but I know we can do this!

    I've been following @alipsie19's lead and doing some sort of workout in the morning. I do just a mini one, 10-15 min low impact/stretching nothing crazy. It helps start my day, and adds to the minutes!

    Challenge 1 completed last night, 3/5 days logging! Plan is to finish 5k/3mile walk outside on the weekend.

    @change04- goal for February is keep on doing what I'm doing. Stay consistent with logging, C25K and the strength routine that I am following.

    I didn't get in as much exercise as I wanted to yesterday but Wednesdays I work both jobs so I am pretty tired at the end of the day. I didn't get my steps in but I managed to do the videos. I am so uncoordinated….lol.

    @change04 - My February goal is at least 60,000 steps per week, lose 9.2 lbs (so that I hit wonderland), read a leadership book (I am reading 7 Habits of Highly Effective People), hug my son for 5 minutes a day, learn 2 chords on the guitar (I have been procrastinating on this goal for months), and moisturize every day.

    QUESTION OF THE DAY: If you were trapped on a deserted island and could only have an unlimited supply of 5 healthy foods with you, what would they be?

    Just popping in to say you all are AWESOME! This morning we was on 35% and now we are on 52% to our destination. Come on Team 3!! let's kick butt and enjoy sometime at the beach and a little sightseeing would be nice :D
    Remember it's not the coming first that counts but the taking part and completing each challenge.

    @EternalTruth I'll answer that question soon need to think about this one expescially seeing that it's only 5 unlimited healthy item's ;)

    Hey all! Finally have time to be back here and active now that the homework load has lightened for a bit ^-^

    I hope everyone who is feeling sick or in recovery mode keeps on making progress toward getting better!

    My fav snack is also definitely air popped popcorn, though sometimes when I'm feeling like a treat I'll layer on some olive oil or melted butter. My favorite peaceful moment...hmm...probably when I'm painting without any plans for the day, so I can just go at whatever speed I like. Also, my goals this month are to stay consistent with lifting to increase my muscle mass.

    @skinnyjeanzbound You'll have to keep us updated on how you like your fitbit! I've been debating getting that same model, so I'd like to know if you think it's worth it.

    Today was going to be a weight lifting day (I usually cycle the days I do weights vs cardio), but I'm feeling fairly bleh due to cramps, so I might just do some light cardio for a bit. We shall see.

    @alipsie19 You're killin it with these routines!! My body hurts just looking at it.

    @EternalTruth - My 5 healthy foods:
    Salmon or some type of fish
    Spinach
    Almonds (dark chocolate covered preferably)
    Blueberries or some other type of fruit
    Popcorn

    Funny thing is that I'm not trapped on an island and this is pretty much all I eat now. :smiley:

    Evening all...

    I thought I would give a status update for myself....I have journaled for 3 days so far this week and I have walked 2 miles outside.

    Feeling pretty good about the week so far...

    @skinnyjeanzbound, thank you for pointing out that is a "real" way of running. I already knew I wasn't changing my ways a so it's nice to have the validation. At that point I am dead. D.E.A.D. but a minute of walking and my lungs start working again and I'm good to go.

    Happy Friday.

    @EternalTruth my 5 healthy choices would be
    Fish, broccoli, carrots, chicken and fibre one chocolate brownies which is only 90 calories so I'll count that as a healthy choice.

    Awesome job everyone! Hope you all have a fab weekend x

    QUESTION OF THE DAY: It's time to expand the mind... what new activity/hobby would you love to learn that doesn't involve rigorous physical activity?

    I am inching so close to my milestone of losing 100 lbs, just 0.8 lbs to go!

    I realized I haven't been answering my own questions of the day. So new physical activity would be zip lining, peaceful moment is snuggling my son and chatting about his day, and my five foods would be raspberries, carrots, protein bars, cheese strings, and broasted chicken.

    My big hike this week is going to be on Sunday which I am looking forward too even though it is going to be quite cold.

    I hope you all have a truly amazing day!!!

    Can it be an old activity we haven't done in a long time?

    That's amazing. You're a true inspiration on this journey! :smiley:

    5 foods:
    Fruits!
    Nuts (Any! I'm not choosy.)
    Cauliflower
    Peas
    Rice (Can't survive without this!)

    I would love to try mountaineering or road cycling. I have never taken up physical activities as hobbies bcos I was always a little bit overweight and extremely unfit. But with my new found confidence in my physical abilities, I would like to try one of these (as soon as I recover fully, of course!)

    I posted the answers before but something went wrong with the Forums page. Anyways, I did my 5K walk yesterday. It was the perfect weather, chilly but not too cold and the rain stayed away in the morning. I'm 4/5 on the under calories challenge, I should be under today as well. And I WILL get the dancing done.

    Hey everybody! Just checking in.

    Finished challenge 2 today. Was walking outside in 40 degree weather to get in my last mile. I'm sure my neighbors thought I was a bit crazy haha. Just glad I got it completed!

    Should be able to stay under calories today, which will make my 5/5 days under.

    Now time to catch up on answering those questions!

    New physical activity - I would love to learn to surf.

    5 foods:
    Brown Rice
    Black Beans
    Avocados
    Pistachios
    Dark chocolate!

    Something I would like to do --- I would love to get into sewing and crocheting. I know a little bit about both, but I'd love to be pro! Maybe one day I'll be able to accomplish some of those pins on pinterest :P

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend and for those who are sick, I hope you all feel better soon!

    Keep staying active team!

    Hi guys!
    We made it!! Time to soak in the sun and do some sightseeing before we are off to our next location.

    @cherie-- Life is too short to worry about a clean house. It will get dirty again (especially with kids--or in my case a dog!). Have fun and do what makes you and your family happy. :smile:

    @slgibbs1987 -- I would also love to learn to surf!

    @enuf200 --when I first saw today's question, the first thing that popped into my head was learning to play the guitar. When I was a teenager, one of my boyfriends tried to teach me to no avail. That's great that you learned to do it as an adult!

    @EternalTruth --that's so impressive!!

    @alipsie19 --wow, skydiving is one of those things I would never do. I hate even being inside an airplane--I can't imagine jumping out of one! And it's not like I dislike excitement or adventure--one of my bucket list goals is to go shark diving and I would probably try hang gliding as well--I just don't like planes.

    @shauna-- I forgot about watermelon! I eat it all the time when it's in season. Hmm--not sure what I would eliminate--maybe the pomegranate? Maybe I'll just stay off of desert islands so I can have both. LOL

    @PompPanda --so far I'm really liking the fitbit's functions, though admittedly, I think there's still a lot I;ve yet to discover. One thing I love is that it just "knows" what activity I've done. When I go for a walk with my dog, it logs the walk. I just finished the dance videos, and it logged it as 19 minutes of "aerobic activity." At the gym I've noticed it recognizes the elliptical but not the stationary bike, so I just log that manually. Not sure why or how it does what it does, but it's fun. The only aspect I don't love is that it's kind of big compared to my last tracker, but I'm getting used to it.

    Status update: I just finished the dance videos and will complete the logging challenge today. I still have half a mile to go to complete my hike, so tomorrow Gunner gets a walk for sure!
