@bocasdelbobdog Thanks for posting that about Orange Theory, and congratulations on the killer burn and racking up so many points! I've heard a lot about OT and wondered if it would be something I might get involved in at some point. I think I'll work up to it; I'm not sure I could handle it yet.
@captainfantastic94 Doing well at this point, though I have to admit my legs are sore from yesterday's squats, etc. The real test will be this week--my office has a(n awesome) habit of springing for lunch, and it's hard to go with a salad or my own home-brought meal when BBQ or brunch is offered!
Exercise: Yes, a walk in the park with my dog and some jumping jacks.
Calories: Yes--though I was very hungry after dinner for some reason. Not sure what kicked my appetite into high gear, but I resisted nonetheless!
Tracked: Yes, even the little food sample at Publix.3 -
Exercised?: Yes. 60 minutes cardio/aerobic
Calories?: Yes 1217/1470
Tracked?: Yes. Getting much better at putting recipes in to ensure the proper calories and portions.3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes !
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
@aeshippers : Reaching a goal weight is awesome ! Congrats
Well said ! That is exactly what I am striving for.craigo3154 wrote: »To establish maintainable lifestyle habits that will keep me healthy in body and mind (and at a healthy weight). This is my main goal and trumps any weight goal.
@GardenMama129 Same here. I would have given up today had I not been in this group. Till about 6 this evening, it didn't look like I will exercise but then suddenly I decided I won't give up today and took LO out for a walk with me and we walked for 45 minutes.It was slow but I am glad that at least did that.In fact credit goes to @RangerRickL for the "One day or Day One" quote, would't have gotten through without inspiration today. Special thanks for the quote.
One interesting event happened today. I stepped on the scale and it showed me a 3 pound loss, 2 more and that will be my goal for the month. I should have probably waited till Thursday, but it did make me happy, no harm in being cautiously optimistic I guess.
Thanks everyone for inspiring me ! And good luck for this week 6 -
@bocasdelbobdog I'm always impressed with your workouts, @craigo3154 and @fightingthetideofaging are also mighty inspiring. I am happy to be 'fit for my life'. I need a reasonable measure of cardio fitness for hiking; working on the farm and energetic horseback riding. For that, I do my 2 to 3x per week Cardio/Strength/Intervals of 30-40 minutes. The other days, I am happy to walk and add some rowing; stationery biking and lots of active stretching.
One of the things that we can see within this group is that there is more than one 'right answer'. We have runners; walkers; super-athletes; and those who are just beginning to get moving again after years of sitting still.
It's so wonderful to see and hear what every body is doing and what their goals are.

Today, is the first day that I would not have exercised had I not been doing this challenge. It had been a slow, quiet, lazy sort of day for me. When I finished my evening meal, I was thinking that I needed to go log it. That's when I remembered that I had not exercised or actually done any sort of activity today. So, I hopped up, put the leftovers in the fridge and went for my walk! I'm feeling thankful that the rain held off until about 5 minutes after I returned home.
Similar here yesterday! I washave lagging on the exercise part so we decided to have a walk with the stroller sands go around our intramural path because I didn't want to pass a day that early. The challenge is so helpful to remind us to do the simple things

Exercise, yes walked 2 miles with my daughter and explored a new neighborhood being built by our house
Tracked food, yes
Calorie goal, yes. In my religion we fast for two meals on the first Sunday of the month. So staying under my goal was easy just eating one meal!2 -
I thought I had checked in last night but I do not see it on here..lol.....so here goes again.
WOW! It is great to see all the inspirational posts @srufus & @GardenMama129 I am so glad this group has helped you to be true to yourself. This group has saved me sooooo many times over the last few months. Lots of times I was going to give in to my old ways but thinking of having to confess it on here has given me the courage I needed to be true to my goals.
