Hi all
I need to up my walking as I’ve become complacent whilst in isolation, so my goal this week is to do more steps, even if it’s following a you tube walking channel. Good luck everyone

I get the complacency aspect, I'm teleworking during this and find myself working more hours then I would if I were in the office. Mainly cause of the responses to COVID. Luckily I have a four legged companion that takes me for at least one nice long walk a day.
I also set a calendar reminder to get up and do some form of exercise. Otherwise I'll keep responding to emails or working the mountain of task my four bosses pile on me.
I also downloaded a few apps that help keep me active.
Hopefully you find the right motivator to keep you up to par on your walking game.
I wish you the best.
V/r,
DW

Recording a day early just because I was so happy to see a lb. go....! I did some changes this week: alternated running and walking days. On walking days, went early and in a fasted state, turned the garmin on and kept going until it registered 500 calories burned....later in the day, I then added 20min workout in front of the TV while watching the news: weights, push ups, stretches, some yoga moves...

Diet: I am measuring olive oil.....using a teaspoon instead of tablespoon. Keeping protein at about 20gr per meal minimum. Trying to focus on selecting low inflammatory foods.

1 cheat meal 1x a week....an on the cheat day I work in moving more.

If I get really hungry, the "rule" is to not snack, but instead eat the next meal earlier.

I will continue doing this and see if it gets rid of the additional 17.5 lbs that don't belong!

Hey there - I'm new to your challenge...so I'll just jump in and I'm hoping to get refocused. I've been doing some other little challenges. Look forward to encouraging each other while I focus on my goals too.

Looks like many of you had a great first week of the challenge and had a loss. That is super! And that is big time incentive for me to stay on the straight and narrow this week. I want to be able to report a loss too! No more excuses, back on track!
