@jugar baseball team batter .

I have 15886 steps so far and 102 Active minutes. Intentional activity gets counted in my Fitbit so these are my active minutes. Planning to hit atleast 8k more today. Let me know if 11pm EST works for the final posting.

Holy moly! You are going to have us spinning around the bases. I have put in the question to the umpire about "active minutes" on fitbit to make sure they count the same as "workout". He'll probably answer some time later. As to 11 pm, it's about my limit, but should be fine! Any later than that would be difficult.

@jugar hopefully they all count. I have exercise log that gets created in Fitbit for me whenever I am doing some kind of excercise.

So I have total -140 minutes of walking plus 45 minutes or zumba today all together logged as excercise. I am working on a relay so have to add these steps to finish.

Steps:
4/7 - 13889
4/8 - 16754

Today : spin class 60 minutes + PIYO 45 MIN

SORRY ...didn't get in earlier. Didn't know about 11 Eastern. Will get in earlier tomorrow.

Talk It Out Tuesday / Think It Through Tuesday

Vent if you need to (don't hold back = and don't hold it in if you need to vent or ask for advice / help and it's NOT a Tuesday!)

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.

What didn't go quite a well as you wanted last week? What will you try a bit differently this week?

Would you like suggestions about ANY POSSIBILITIES for alternates ('cause you just don't know what to try next)?

Do you just want/need to know someone has heard and acknowledged your frustration about something that you have no control over and just plain have to get past without losing too much ground?

The baseball stuff looks great and very IGM-engaging, by the way!

Anytime you can frame something as contributing to some sort of "game playing" works well in enlisting IGM as a helper, rather than a hindrance.

RULES AMENDMENT 1.20
BATTING....
KEEPING IN MIND THAT IN SOME INNINGS YOU COULD THE LINE UP THEN THE "AT BAT ONE TIME IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD" IS NULL AND VOID.

SO THERE FORE IF YOUR TEAM CAN BAT THE LINE UP TWICE IN A 24 HOUR PERIOD THEN THAT'S COMPLETELY LEGIT.

1. @jugar 60 minutes workout = triple
2. @jlbtnc 10,400 steps = double
3. @sue_01 20,078 steps = home run
4. @micki48
5. @Kittu125 27,046 steps plus 45 minutes zumba = home run + double (way to go!)
6. @fourathomej 16,754 steps plus 45 min. PIYO plus 60 min. spin = triple + double + triple

I'll post this on the MOD CHALLENGE page and see what our score comes up as. If I missed you somehow, @micki48 fill me in!!!!

So, baseball nuts -

According to our illustrious umpire, we scored 6 runs and have someone on 2nd base. Let's get more!

Talk It Out Tuesday / Think It Through Tuesday

Having a tougher time still. Ate too much yesterday due to emo eating. Resolving to do better today. I know what I have to do. Go for a walk and do some biking. Weather is good here. Enough said!

The exercise will help for sure - enjoy the good weather, and send some here, OK? For the emotional eating, while you are not around food (during a walk, etc.), ask yourself what wonderful thing(s) the eating is giving you. Time to sit and breathe? A feeling of fullness? Comfort? and also ask what kind of food qualities you reach for. Sweet? Crunchy? Salty? When you have a few answers, you can think of ways to get the same wonderful things without all the calories and bad feelings afterwards. Sit and breathe with a tall glass of seltzer and slice of lime. Ask someone to give you a shoulder rub. Do some stretching or just conscious breathing. Try to do whatever you come up with for 10 minutes to see if it satisfies the need. If you're still wanting to eat, snack on something filling without many calories (I love a whole grapefruit, peeled and sectioned. Or a vegetable soup that is just veggies cooked in broth and then blended to a thick, creamy soup that has no fat.) Crunchy pickles or carrots. Tomatoes with balsamic vinegar. Mango or other sweet yummy, messy fruit.

Thanks for sharing your tough times - I hope it helps to come here and let us know, and maybe one of us will have the idea that clicks and helps you through. Hugs winging your way!

Thank you all for your patience!

@Beka3695 and I just paired up ALMOST everyone. We had an odd number and are waiting for an answer from someone to pair up the last person. Here is what we have so far. Please contact your buddy and exchange email, phone, however you want to stay in touch, and "friend" each other so you can share your food and exercise diary wherever you keep it. Set up check-in times, and go for it! Keep each other going and have a blast. If you have a problem with your buddy (time zone or other issue), just let me or @Beka3695 know by message and we'll see what we can do. Enjoy!
