Fitbit excercise goals surprisingly yes as I was off to a very slow start this morning
January challenge
February challenge
March challenge why did it rain just after I'd left the house?
April challenge? Noticed the iris in the garden were looking lovely so picked some for my mum and she was pleased to receive them. That means we both enjoyed them and the giving/receiving.
Has anyone thought about an April challenge please? Thank you @mytime6630 for the suggestion

@snowflake1968. I hope You have some good news on the job front soon and I am pleased that you have some financial assistance. I hope that eases you stress levels.
I wish I could find more time to comment individually to others but, at the moment, work and getting to sleep have to take precedence. I am amazed at how much some of you accomplish each day and the tenacity shown in the face of challenge. This is a hugely supportive group.2 -

You could say "I'm POSITIVE I haven't done any exercise!" right?

This is something I think helps anyone .. write down at least one positive thought each day.
Here is a reminder of previous challenges. I am still trying to incorporate each months challenge everyday ... building new, healthy habits.
January Challenge: Drink 8+ cups of water a day
February Challenge: Limit your nite time snacking to only 1 snack... then brush teeth, do something to stop at just that one snack
March Challenge: Go outside for a walk for a minimum of just 15 minutes. The fresh air is good for us, and for me, even 15 minutes of walking can help clear my head.
April Challenge:
Write down a positive thought each day

I'm new here but I started April similar to a new year. It was a new month and a Monday and time to get my life together. Yesterday I walked a mile around the pond at work and today I took my dog for a 25 minute walk. 19 more days then walking becomes a habit right?6

I wish I had more time to respond to each. But if we don't take care of ourselves, then we are no good for others. We understand.2 -

I started posting in this group of wonderful people last April and I owe a lot of my success and certainly my sanity to them. I had lost 25 pounds by December but now I’m up 3 or 4 pounds. I owe it to this group that that’s not up to a 30 pound gain!3 -

So why can't I find my goals again!!! Man, I am losing it!! LOL!! Well (I guess at 67 that happens!) I was sure I posted goals.
But today, and yesterday, I am struggling. This time I am having a harder time getting back on track, but at least I am excercising a lot with yard work, and trying! . But today, I ate well all day, but then we went to Longhorn for dinner. I again had my chicken breast and brocolli, and hubby told them not to bring the bread to the table. But tonite... I am into the mixed nuts again!! So I have to STOP IT!!! So, I am going to go and brush my teeth, and fill my glass up with water, and stay away from the nuts!
SO while I didn't set goals, here's what I accomplished
1. mindful eating All day great ... tonite, one handful of nuts, but mindfulness, and now I am going to stop that.
2. log my food Logging on WW site right now
3. jan challenge - 8+ water. Will meet that goal tonite (already had 6)
4. feb challenge -- one nitetime snack ... already had nuts, so no more
5. mar challenge -- 15 minutes outside. Raked leaves for 60 min
6. april challenge - one positive thing. The most positive thing today is you guys. Having this thread, with the most awesome online friends, is a huge positive in my life. Even though I joined WW for 3 months to jumpstart my weight loss, and get me out of the funk I was in, I will always continue coming on here because of all you guys! And once the 3 months are over.. I'll be back logging my food here.

My husband has been buying mixed nuts for a few months now. Holy crow are they ever easy to get carried away on! What I've been doing is opening the container right away, then measuring them into serving size Snack Baggies. (I think 1/4 cup equals 1 serving.) I account for that one baggie as my evening snack by prelogging it, and then I don't mindlessly eat too many but instead I eat them slower and more mindfully without feeling guilty about it. I figure they are healthier than chips and they give me the salty crunch I'm craving...
My positive thought today is... Today I got to take my dog for a walk outside and there were birds singing, squirrels and rabbits all over the place and a beautiful sky. Life is beautiful! :flowerforyou:2 -
Morning everyone! So much positivity on here which is great to see. I’m feeling pretty good and on track at the moment but I know there are peaks and troughs so I think the April challenge will be good for those tougher days.
Yesterday was pretty busy as I went to another school for training in the morning and then after work did a lot of prep for the work party I’m hosting here tomorrow night. Over 20k steps for the day which is pretty crazy considering the training session meant sitting still for 3 hours!
This morning is my long run - I still get anxious about this but i figure if I’m just consistent about run days and don’t question it too much then I can’t talk myself out of it! I think I am improving and definitely recover faster from the effort so I want to keep going. And bank some good exercise calories before tomorrow’s party 😜

- morning workout ✅
- pack frozen shake, veggies, fruit and yogurt ✅
- leave early for training at different school ✅
