    Aug 6 - A little late to the game. :#

    - Log all food and watch carbs. :)

    - Do (beginner shred) exercise 5x per week. :)

    - Do mid-day stretches! :)

    Log all food. 🙂

    Meet Calorie Goal. 🙂

    Stretch daily. 🙂

    Exercise 3x per week. 🙂 3 down

    Live purposefully. 😐 i shuffled my schedule and even though I finished my work (at 11:30pm) i would have been more productive if I had stuck to the schedule.

    My inspiration for this is fron brendon.com on youtube if anyone is interested.

    @Sabine_Stroehm @kpk54 @jogetsgains Thanks for the info! I have contemplated upgrading but just wasn't sure. I have used an app called Carb Manager as well. But....I really like MFP, the set up for logging food is so simple.

    Did my first triathlon! My hubby has been doing them for years, has done a few Ironmans....many marathons...so I figured it was time I tried one. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I guess the run was the worst part. Anyway, I may even do another someday!

    My goals are as usual:

    Net carbs - 25 or below
    Calories - met or under
    Exercise - as always.....
    Water - NEED MORE!
    Night time snacking - planned snack only

    I'm in! My goals, including FitBit tracking:
    • Log all food o:)<3o:)
    • Make or surpass step goal :o 6 out of 7 days
    • Make hourly 250+ step goals :p Sitting in church makes this impossible!
    • Make or surpass activity goal :o 6 out of 7 days
    • Make hydration goal :# Not perfect but I'm happy with the progress
    • Stay under Calorie and Carb goals :# 6 out of 7 days. (The day the internet went down and I couldn't log anything I went 8 calories over but I'm counting that as a win.)
