Late to the party this month, but back again after a year of constantly falling off the wagon due to a stressful time at work. I’m expecting that the stress will be less now, so I‘m giving it another go.
Exercise: Yes, HIIT.
Track: Yes.
Calorie budget: Yes (my new budget is 1350.)
Meditate (my own addition to the rules): yes.4 -
Exercise: walked a little over 2 miles with hubby and then 1.5 with dogs
Calories: on track. We ate out for lunch but I skipped breakfast and dinner
Logged: yep, no problem3 -

Tracking: good

Exercise: 40 minutes of barn chores.2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Today I ran my first-ever Spartan Sprint with my husband. Took us about 2 hours to complete -- it's basically a 4 mile trail run up and down huge hills and some of the rockiest, pot-holed terrain I've ever seen (they call our city's course the Ankle Breaker for a reason) with about 15 obstacles, from carrying 40 lb sandbags up and down a 1/2 mile hill, walls to climb over, cargo nets -- it was insane.
Although I'm late to the NSV party, I can say 5 years ago at my heaviest and out-of-shape I wouldn't have even made it past the first obstacle. Today I didn't do nearly as well as I wanted to (my grip strength and arms crapped out on me, and my knees were killing me from the hills, so I had to skip a few of the obstacles), and I feel completely defeated. The only thing keeping me the slightest bit happy is knowing I wouldn't have been able to do this at all just a few years ago.
And it has made me even more determined to lose the pounds I've put on, run faster, lift more, and keep getting stronger. Who knows -- maybe I'll be able to do it all next year. We'll see.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!6 -
Saturday was pass day #3, I wasn't able to track everything I ate. Packing and a long day road trip but there alot of snacks.
Yes x 3 for Sunday. Hours of packing, hopefully the last big day of it. Silver lining - lots of calories burned!4 -

Tracking-
Budgeting
Exercise-
yes, yes, yesI climbed up to the guardrail today.
Geesh I have done that climb hundreds of times.
I told a guy the other day 265 but I can't find how I got that number.
I think it is way more than that.
I ain't getting any faster though.
Record time for me 84 minutes. These days like 110. Almost 2 hours.
Had the place to myself this morning.
Found somebody's cell phone.
It had charge when I first found it.
Now it doesn't. I don't have the kind of plug to charge it. Thought about trying to find the owner.
The guardrail ...

Exercise was biking to church. Afterward went to the grocery store and found a 7lb chicken on sale for $7 (sell by by date was today) so bought it, broke it down, cooked the drumsticks for tonight's dinner, saved a breast for tomorrow (taco night), made stock with the back, and froze the rest!3 -

@RangerRickL Thanks for the love.
@corriepelc OMG you are an inspiration! I’ve been thinking about signing up for a Spartan run next year, they look so scary but fun.
3x’s yes. 45 minutes of strength and my first full hour of spin class- I’m not sure I’m going to learn to love spin but I am going to incorporate it into my workouts through the winter.
Good on calories with some exercise eat backs. Everything logged.3 -
