I guess I enjoyed my weekend a little too much. That's okay, I am ready to slay the week. So glad to have found a group to stay accountable too.
@Ar_cervantes and @Audgiebug, who starts a weight loss challenge during a long weekend? Oh, I guess we do! You just had the misfortune of weighing in early in the week! Only up a little, and I bet some of that is sodium related, so not bad at all!! This coming Monday I am anticipating that we'll see a loss from both of you!!3 -

No holiday here in WA...and my husband will be on day shift. After I drop the kids to school I plan on heading to the gym to try out a new class.
Today is Sunday (and Fathers Day). Husband is again on day shift...but I am cooking him a special dinner.
I will post my Mini Challenge results at the end of the day

9-2-19 (Monday)
Tracked: Yes
Under: Yes
Exercise: Zombies, Run! C25K (Week 1, Workout 1); Zombies, Run! (Actual Cannibal Rescue Mission), walk to and from the gym (total 135 minutes)
Day: It was off to a rocky start with a night of insomnia cycled sleep. I dragged myself out, took my levothyroxine, and sloughed back off to my bed in hopes of any amount of sleep before the hour later when I would eat and take the rest of my morning medications. I did some dishes while my egg white omelet cooked. After my pills and breakfast settled I checked the website for my gym, and it said they were holding classes today; so, naturally, I assumed they were open. I grabbed my water bottle, inhaler, phone, headphones, etc. and headed out the door to walk to the gym enjoying the kind of cool, though humid, morning temperatures. I arrived to find the doors locked. Bummer. I had to improvise. I still wanted to start my C25K program but needed a place to do that. I walked back towards home and headed into the park to run around on the trails. The trails are paved and that pavement is a bit busted up in places, but as long as one watches his/her step a fall can be averted. I even managed to toss in a couple of longer runs on the freeform run at the end. I spent some time working on my story, and later in the day did a regular episode of just walking with the traditional Zombies, Run! program for about an hour making loops around the community room as it was dark outside at that point. At around 1 I managed to nab a quick nap to recharge. As usual for me, not terribly exciting, kind of a frustrating start, but it worked out in the end.
Personal Challenge
Three Positives of the Day:
1) Despite gym being closed still able to start C25K program
2) Able to do a couple of runs on the freeform run
3) I was able to nab a much needed nap.
Three Positives About Self:
1) Adaptive
2) Tenacious
3) Good at math0 -
Mini challenge
Monday sept 2
Tracked yes
Under no- over by one cup of homemade mashed potatoes. Ce la vie.
Exercise yes
On to tomorrow and the first day back to work. We have construction going on at our school and have no staff parking lot so we have to park at a church 1 block away. Even in the rain (tomorrows forecast). Even in blizzards. Even in knee deep snow. Forced exercise.

Hello there!
Weight last week: 151.2
Weight this week: 150.8
Small loss but right direction.
Im back on night shifts this week so no accountability challenge for me. Have a good, focused week all! Carrie xx3 -
Previous week: 204.5
Current: 210.1
Gain: 5.6lb
Disappointed this week, but I'm taking this in stride. I have a few issues that definitely are affecting this weeks weigh in, and they will hopefully resolve by next week! Also, it was a weigh in about 4 hours earlier than I ever weigh in, as well. Just going to continue making the right choices, because I know I am still doing the right thing! I am off to work, now, and ready to start the day off right! Sorry to put a big gain on the team this week, I will do my best to bring it back next week!4 -
