    Zumba shouldn't involve twerking. Definitely not a Latin move.

    That said, I can twerk. It's a combination of control and letting go. Just because you can though, does not mean that you should!

    At our meeting tonight, they actually said that the Zumba class we did Tuesday was not a "normal" class. They were going at a fast pace and throwing things in to make it fun for our "kick-off" meeting I guess. Maybe that's why they had some different moves in there that they normally wouldn't? They wanted to reassure us so we wouldn't be intimidated from trying the normal group class I guess. I'm glad they told us that because my legs still hurt and it was 2 days ago!

    This was incredibly motivating and fun to see people cheering each other on. Check out all those roses our group got! Would people be up for another short goal challenge? I am happy to track this one if people want. Ideas for another one?

    Thank you so much for this suggestion. It was a great idea for a challenge. It really helped me stay in the green the last 2 weeks.

    @HEGoddard0928 - when I was trying to get pregnant, I read a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It’s the science behind how a woman’s body changes slightly during your cycle each month. It helps you identify your most fertile days. Just throwing it out there in case it helps. Sorry if it’s old news to you. Best of luck. That can be such a heart wrenching process. 💕

    JFT FRIDAY:
    - Stay green
    - Get some exercise
    - Dishes
    - Laundry
    - Start prepping food and clothes for skiing next week
    - Music rehearsal this afternoon
    - Make heart shaped pizzas for the family

    💕💕Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! 💕💕

    Happy Friday! Happy Valentine's Day! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

    My valentine of 42 years is on a golf course somewhere in FL with his dad today, so I'll be spending part of my day up here in NJ with two of my little loves and my mom. Tonight I'll pour myself a glass of wine and break out one of my decadent chocolate bars before picking up the phone for a cozy conversation across the miles. It's funny how happy this makes me now. (I confess to pouting - a lot - about DH's February golf trips in the past.) Perspective, I guess.

    Yesterday was another mixed bag, but I'll have plenty of time this wekend to catch up on chores while my husband is away. Lately, I've found it easier to stick to my calorie and exercise goals than to keep up with my work and household chores. Not sure why I'm struggling so much with motivation. Maybe it's a bit of the winter blues. I'm hoping to fnd more balance in the coming weeks so I can relax when I visit my son over spring break in March.

    Goals for Thursday, February 13, 2020
    • Complete food log and maintain a calorie deficit - √
    • Gym - √
    • Household chores 30+ min – X – Wound up going out to lunch and walked indoors with my daughter, then spent an hour on the phone with my sister before dinner
    • Grading/email/LMS updates –25% - Had to take care of some payroll issues, so didn’t get much else done
    • Online course HW (Discussion 2) – X – Didn’t finish the reading

    JFT Goals for Friday, February 14, 2020
    • Rest day
    • Aim for maintenance calories and log everything as well as I can
    • Whatever I can get done before noon
    • Valentines for the boys
    • Visit my mom this afternoon

    JFT F 2/14 <3
    1) Walked treadmill before work 3.12 mi 1:01 & stretched = happy me! :smiley:
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
    3) Meals (leftovers) & snacks prelogged / net calories green / 14c water
    4) Organize BC-CC workpapers / review docs/info provided by Asst. Controller / draft APG / usual weekly status reports (bah) / reduce inbox
