i’m hanging in there, i’m doing ok, exercising and staying within my calorie goal limit daily. i think today & the remainder of this week (i’ll increase my workouts by 10 additional mins).

October Week 2 is now in the books!

Great job to all of our "Losers"

As the year is drawing closer to the end (there are only 11 weeks left of the year), we are starting to get into a holiday season where we tend to use food in celebrations, now is a great time to work a little harder and try to mitigate some of the gains we tend to see, let's push through Week 3 of October and lose some more!!

I'm such a slow loser I'm not sure I'll make my goal but I have had two weeks of a downward trend, and for that I am thankful.

@BonnieHosk85 you are so amazing for compiling this and keeping us on track. Yet ANOTHER reason why I love this group. I have exercised plenty (I am awful at tracking that!!! No fitbit synced, etc...but I do log on Fitness Blender the workouts I do!) but I have been eating more junky sugar the last 10 days...and drinking some wine! Some celebrations, etc...but overall, doing ok! Would really like to keep focused before the holidays and keep momentum into 2020! It's so far beyond physical. My mental health is much better when I am eating healthy and moving my body (and getting great sleep!)

@Keepingtrack1234

I can totally relate when you say that your mental health is better when you eat right and exercise. I find that when I overeat, eat the wrong foods and not workout my anxiety hits hard. You would think I would learn my lesson and not do that anymore 🙄

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

My first Tough Mudder is on Saturday. Yay! Unfortunately, my husband and I have been having a disagreement about my caloric intake as we approach the big event. He thinks that I should be eating more in preparation for the activity. I don't see that as necessary, since in the last couple of days before the event (Thursday and Friday) I'll be resting more than training. So, as usual, we compromised. I'll do exactly what I want.

I will admit to you sweet people, because I need to get this off my chest - it irks me that a man who doesn't exercise at all is trying to tell me how to do it. I do my research, I check my sources, I avoid fads, and I am careful. I know he means well, I know he loves me, I know he has my best interest at heart but still...

Good morning, Fabulous Fit Team!!

@allietuge, you look fabulous! What a cute baby!!

@shewhoismany, good luck on the Tough Mudder. They were here in Nashville Oct 5 and 6th and I saw photos from my friend who did it. It looks like a lot of fun!

Hey team. I wanted to let you know that Michelle (@motis3678) has done an exceptional job at helping me with the co-captain duties, but she's got a bit much on her plate right now to continue. She's been an excellent co-captain and has faithfully logged our weigh-ins and been an encouragement to us on this fit journey we're all on. Please let her know how much you appreciate all she's done for the group. Very thankful to say she is not leaving the challenge, but just stepping back a little so she can handle other things in her life. Love and appreciate you, Michelle!


Good loss, @pikapuff11! Keep pushing through!

@looneycatblue, sounds like you had a great time. Congrats on the loss!

@BB_1033, it'll be better next week!

@MMMonk, nice loss!

@audreypawdrey, nice loss! Have a great trip with your daughter!
