04/24 172.6
30 min full body workout before work and then I taught my insanity and Turbo Kick fitness class. I was pooped!
04/25 170.9
I wasn't expecting such a drop but I will take it. This morning I did an upper body workout before work. It's going to be a long tiring day, so I need to work hard stick to my meal plan.
04/26 170.9
I woke up with my back aching to the point where I couldn't move. So, I didn't workout at all but made sure I followed my eating plan. I was feeling like I wanted to snack all day but I stayed strong which was good.
04/27 169.8
I was so tired in the evening so I took a nap and even worked out at 10pm when I woke up. I'm impressed at my own dedication lol
04/28 169.8
Sunday I was on point with my eating. I did not exercise
04/29168.8
I exercised 3 times today. In the a.m. before work I completed 22 min of strength/endurance exercises. On my lunch I did 22 min of cardio with my co worker and after work I went to the gym and did some leg exercises. I increased my carbs to help with my workouts.
After dinner I just wanted to snack but I went to sleep instead 🤣
04/30 167.9
I worked out before work at home and at lunch with my co-worker. I'm quite pleased with my progress and I need to keep it up. I got into a bag of beet chips. Wasn't expecting them to taste so good, had more than I should 🙈. I decided to drink my Asian tea to help move things out of my system.
05/01 166.2
A lot of bathroom time this morning because of the tea. Will have a better weigh in tomorrow and more accurate. I taught my class today, 30 min of HIIT and 30 min of Turbo kick. Thank goodness for pre workout and Good fat bars. The beet chips are now gone! Won't be buying those again. Perhaps when I've reached my goal.
05/02 167.1
Back to normal weigh-in which I'm still happy about. Plans for today....STAY WITHIN my carb limits. I exercised at lunch for 22 min of HIIT exercises.

Day/Weight/Comment
04/23 – 202.8 – Gorgeous day! 60 minute walk on a moderately challenging trail, but gardening was limited to 10 minutes of deadheading daffodils before relaxing in the sun. Squeezed in some grocery shopping after the walk and got the dishes done. Not enough sleep last night, so my energy is flagging. Got my water in though. 😊

04/24 – 201.6 – Another beautiful day – blue skies, sunshine, and the lilacs are blooming! Too pretty to stay indoors, so I took the dog for a long walk in the park (75 min, paved trail). Enjoying the last of the daffodils while I deadhead like crazy. Perennials are coming in, but so are the weeds! Rain moves in Thursday evening, so I’ll double down on chores then. Extra water! Good day 😊

04/25 – 201.2 – Walking this morning (45 min before work). Trash goes down tonight, so I’d better get that fridge cleaned! (Got part of this done – threw out the stinky stuff. Then did recycling, composting, and some general straightening for another half hour.) Super salty dinner, so lots of extra water!

04/26 – 201.2 – A break in the rain this morning, so I managed to squeeze in a 65-minute walk and then lunch out with my daughter. The sky opened up 5 minutes after I walked back in the door! Squeezing in an hour of power-cleaning so I can concentrate on the neglected garden this weekend.

04/27 – 201.2 – No walk, but worked in the garden all afternoon pulling weeds, planting summer bulbs, and filling a few hanging baskets to attract the hummingbirds. Feels like I bruised my instep trying to dig out a new bed – should have worn sturdier shoes. Despite 10+ cups of water, I was thirsty all day. Way too much salt this weekend ☹

04/28 – 203 – And there’s that salt ☹ Half hour walk before heading out to a family event. Stayed away from the salty snacks, kept within my calorie allowance, and stuck with sparkling water and green tea. Four more days to go in this challenge – still time to turn this around.

04/29 – 201.6 – And there it goes – well, some of it, at least. Back to my weekday routines, cooking (and seasoning) my own meals. 8+ waters. Chilly 40-min walk in the park before dinner, enjoying the scent of lilacs and freshly mown grass. Busy week ahead and lots of rain in the forecast, so I’ll try to squeeze in the walks when I can. The garden looks pretty good, but my indoor chore list is growing!!!

04/30 – 200.4 – 30 min walk, 8 waters, laundry and recycling. Lots of papers to grade, so I’m keeping comments brief tonight.

05/01 – 199.8 – Woo hoo! Didn’t expect to be here at this point, but I’ll take it. Late breakfast out with my grandson who had the morning off from school. Put off the walk until after class but got rained out and decided to take today as a rest day and get to bed at a decent hour. I’m thinking I might add sleep as a goal in the next round.

05/02 – 198.8 – The sun came out in time for a 45 min walk with my grandson this morning. What a delight! Took a nap after class and then went out for ices with the kids. Suddenly summer doesn’t seem so far off.

Goals for this challenge:
1) Walk 30+ minutes each day (8/10)
2) Active gardening or household task 30+ minutes each day (ha ha - well, I did make progress in the garden)
3) 64-80 oz. water per day (10/10!)
R75(1) result: - 4 lbs
10 day average: 201.16

I really felt inspired by everyone's openness and commitment, and being part of this challenge group helped me push myself to get out and walk. Thanks all!

Goal this round-160

4/25- 164-I’m starting a bit late. I fell off the wagon at Easter then left town and ate bad. I cam back to take a quilting class the rest of the week and walked yesterday morning before I left, but sat all day and didn’t want to stop for lunch, so I ate chips when I got home and made dinner. Last night I made a salad to take today. I will walk 7 miles this morning before I leave and will hopefully be back on track!
4/26-163-I’ve been getting my walks in before my class. I’ve also been taking my lunch. It sure takes a while to get back to the lower number after eating bad for a couple of days. Not worth it. It’s Friday!!!!!!!!!
4/27-162-I’ve been walking and making wise food choices. Long car ride today and eating out....we’ll see.
4/28-164-I’ll take that after the long day of driving and heavy food. Yesterday was DH birthday and we didn’t even cut into the cake...it is just sitting there waiting for us. Hopefully we’ll eat it early and I can drink lots of water and walk or ride the bike. Have a wonderful Sunday.🌸
4/29-Refused to weigh after poor choices.
4/30-164-Back on track.
5/1-163-I’m getting there. Need to get back to my evening walks in addition to my long morning ones, it really helps.
5/2-162- Our internet was bad yesterday, but I hung with life.
5/3-159-My lowest in years......Oh, my!!!

I’m glad you are all here!!!!😊☕️
