    Steps
    7/21 11,264
    7/22 13,762

    My green challenge was to lose 4 lbs this month and have lost 3.5 lbs as of last week’s weigh in.

    I started at 144.2 and last week I was 140.7

    I’m hoping to be 140.2 or below on Wednesday to get to the goal. I’m finding it hard to lose more than 1 lb a week on average so I might be in this goal range til I hit 130, then down to .5 lb for the last 10 lbs. I’m currently 20 lbs off from goal weight of 120.

    This is the last week so I am doing an early retrospect for July. For Green Challenge my target was 5 lbs. Started with 174 lbs, first week I gained, 175 lbs, second week lost, 171.9 lbs, third week 171.7 lbs. Hopefully scale will show atleast 170 lbs on Friday!

    Today I went for lifting after a long time, SL 5×5 but couldn't do some work outs due to lack of time. Have completed 10123 steps already.

    23/7/19
    SL 5×5 B
    Squat 5×5 27 kg
    Overhead Press 5×5 22 kg
    Dead Lift 5×5 40 kg
    C.Pull Down 10×3
    C. Row 10×3
    Front Raise 5×1
    Side Raise 5×1
    Tricep ext. 5×1


    23/7/19 steps 10016 # SL 5×5

    Just remember we have this week and week 5’s weigh in to reach the green challenge goal. I need your steps for Wednesday July 17th please.

    Just so everyone knows there are 5 weeks to the July challenge. So you still have one more week to reach your green challenge.

    Sorry for not being more clear. I’m on vacation next week in Hawaii so trying to figure out the scale situation. In the event my travel scale doesn’t arrive on time, will have to skip next week and just use the four week’s progress towards the green.

    Goals for the rest of the week:
    Get at least 15,000 steps each day
    Meditate for at least 5 minutes each day (why does it seem so difficult to find 5 minutes of quiet time?)
    Get in 2 lifting workouts

    Low b/c I didn't get my walk in during lunch; I was slammed in getting a 77 slide PPT presentation ready for today. But I did bowl last night....hopefully better today!

    Hi all, crazy busy day today and didnt manage to post this morning.

    But, yesterday was on track as is today. Bedtime shortly so think I can say that!

    Steps for yesterday (monday) 12045, yes, I did a but if pacing in my flat to get over my target!

    Also did an arm workout video and an evening walk after work.

    Today I did run intervals for couch to 10km in the evening. I'm a morning runner, but didnt have time before work so got it done afterwards instead!

    Tomorrow and Thursday are super long and busy days at work, with a lot of enforced sitting..... let's see how those goals go!

    Keeping focused for a good loss this week I hope!

    Loving all these goals!

    I had to go to the doctor today. I have been putting it off for a week. Every night I get all these indentations on my tongue and I have been super tired. I am in a flare of my autoimmune disorder. I never figure it out until it hits me in the face. I don’t have time to give into this.

    As for my goals, I am doing ok. I got 9,208 steps yesterday and I stayed within my calorie goal. I didn’t get to swim laps again but I did tread water for awhile.


    @171lake Hawaii, I am jealous
    @ngk2000 great goals!
    @pjshawley love your goal of eating to meet your blood glucose level. I may steal this for next week
    @lmeldrum great goals!
    @kilobykilo awesome, another day of meeting those goals

    Met all 3 of yesterday's goals. I wavered all day about my 30 minutes of cardio and just wasn't feeling it. At 8 p.m. I finally forced myself to put on my tennis shoes and told myself to just do some easy work on my seated elliptical trainer. But once I got going, I had a really good workout. As they say, 'starting is half done'.
