    I'm in!

    I'd like to be able to walk to my parents house and back by the end of the month, it's exactly 6 miles, I have sideways kneecaps and need surgery so I'm working up to getting to my parents house and back.

    I'd like to set the goal of walking every day.

    Sounds great! My goal is to complete C25K. I have exactly 4 weeks left, so it's a perfect fit.

    I really like that one about 100 miles in 100 days. I will make it metric and add a bit, so 200 kilometres. Plus I want to hit a goal for 40 push ups.

    In March, I did a total of 517.5 kms on my bike (currently indoors on a trainer.)
    For April my target will be to hit 540 kms total.

    After working to control my BG for so long but still having it higher than I would like, I think I may need to actually reduce my activity. Doc (and he is a good one) believes the primary driver is cortisol and I am over-stressing my system physically causing it to remain elevated.

    Am I allowed to join if my goals are to limit my exercise after decades of possibly being a bit too obsessive about it? Since I am in maintenance at weight, the big challenge will be to reduce intake to counter reduced output.

    It's improving your "fitness." Just in a different way. I'm cool with it.

    Fitness goals:
    - 2 exercise sessions per week (current line up is Zumba, Aquacise and Circuit training).
    - Commute to or from work on my kick scooter at least 3 times per week.
    - Get my steps up to 10000 daily.

    However I'm going to add an extra one for if/when I get a flare up:
    - Put my body and joints above all other fitness goals and accept that it's okay to have a sofa day :)

    My aim for April is:

    - to go to the gym 4 x a week, doing 4 spinning classes and use 2 weight machines for 30 repetitions.
    - to have 2 tabs of olive oil and apple cider vinegar + lemon and nothing else for two days a week - preferably on the two days I am really busy.
    This gives my skin a really nice glow.
