Hey Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike.....Guess what day it is!!! HUMP DAY!!!!
Haha happy Wednesday everyone! It’s my rest day today which means I’m going to be doing house chores, laundry, grocery shopping, driving older kids around to their activities and trying to do all this with my 4 year old following me going Mom, mommy, momma, ma, ma, ma, mommy, mom, mummy, momma, mom.......
Yesterday was a good day, the scale went and tricked me by telling me I had lost almost 2 lbs over night. Got on it like 10 times and kept saying the same thing. This morning I am back up (still with a small loss but nothing as crazy) so I’m a bit ticked that it was a fluke. Ahh well I’m still gonna keep kicking major butt because I WILL be reaching goals no matter how slow I go.
My February goals are......
Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
Run 5K on Saturday's
Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)
Wednesday’s are rest day.0 -

Valentines Day is on Friday. A lot of us will be celebrating with chocolates, restaurant dinners and wine! What way are you celebrating 🥳 and how to plan to keep it in check?0

Hubby has made reservations at a nice restaurant, but I asked him not to get me chocolate. I will have (actually we will split) this amazing chocolate dessert they have, but it won’t be calling my name for days. It’ll be one and done! I’ll probably skip the wine this year since I’ve only had 2 glasses in about 6-7 months. So I’ll save some calories that way. I will also try to have a big salad for lunch—homemade with control of toppings, to keep calorie count down prior to the big dinner. I will also plan on exercising before work on Friday.
What other strategies are y’all doing?

Sorry about that. Not sure what happened, but there they are anyway! Thanks for tracking this for us!2 -
Wednesday check in
Calories: under
Exercise: walk 70 minutes, swim 15 minutes and 20 minutes of aqua fit exercises
Water: way over goal
I used the weights the have for aqua fit classes and did a workout. I need to google exercises to do in the pool. I swim pretty fast, so I got tired fast. I forgot to stretch so I will feel it tomorrow. I am going to go back tomorrow if the weather cooperates. I will get my walk in.1 -

I am taking the day off and packing for a weekend away with friends in the mountains. There will be a bit of indulgence but also activity - skiing and exploring Banff. I’m focusing on time with friends and family over food.2 -

Today was your rest day??? 🤣🤣 I’m exhausted just reading it!2 -
One of my friends from another team in the challenge shared something posted on her team thread - “Can my health really wait for the perfect week?”
Totally hit home for me. I worked 8 hours straight today no break for lunch and only got up once to fill my water. That’s not what I call healthy. And I certainly don’t feel it this week. I am going to think about this while I am away this weekend and how I can get back to incorporating morning workouts and lunch time walks into my day.
Does anyone else have anything to add? Does this question resonate with you like it did for me?2 -

I'm not much of a holiday guy. I always forget when Valentine's day is. I've already bought my wife roses knowing the day had to be close.
