Exercise: Yes, treadmill for 38 minutes
Goals/Day/Comments: Went well! I usually don't exercise on weekends. I want to give six days a real shot over the course of the challenge!

Hello Team! My name is Michelle, and I am married to my best friend and we have one son, who is now out of the home and on his own (Yes!). lol. I also work as an RN at a large hospital in Minnesota. My work days and schedule can be hectic and I have really been struggling with stress eating and lack of motivation over the past 2 years following a long recovery with a torn rotator cuff/shoulder injury. I have to confess, I have turned into quite the couch potato since I hurt my shoulder and the lbs. have been creeping up every since! I am also in graduate school for nursing and I'm recommitting myself to my own health and selfcare in 2021! I am trying to incorporate more plant based/whole foods into my diet while still eating lean meats and seafood at times. I love reading books and just about everything outdoors: gardening (flowers and vegetables), hiking, cross-country skiing, kayaking, fishing, hunting, running (just getting back into this one though).

Sunday 1/3:

Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, and I was within my range
Exercise: Yes, rowing for 20min and 30min walk with my husband and our puppy, Stella on the trails, as well at lots of house cleaning.
Goals/Day/Comments: Today was a good and productive day! I was able to take in lots of veggies, exercise and get some housework and homework done. Win-Win

Hi, I'm Karen. I'm a kindergarten teacher and I'm married with two teenage daughters. I like to run and cross country ski.

If possible can I change my starting weight to 193? I'm usually a morning weighed, but last night I weighed in at night to get my starting weight.

Hi Karen! Each challenge week starts with Sunday and ends with Saturday. So since you chose Sunday as your Weigh in Date you were scheduled to weigh in today(Jan3rd). Because of this format there can be some confusion during Week1 amongst newly registered players. Once we begin rolling over to the next month it will not matter anymore. That being said, I would leave your start weight at the 197 you recorded at registration last week and post your Week1 results as 193lbs. Please correct me if you still want to change your start weight, I would just need to know what you want me to put down for your Sunday weigh in as well. Does that make sense?

Tracked: No
Calories: Unknown
Exercise: Walked 1.67 miles (3747 steps), 20 minutes of cleaning, and did 35 minutes of a YouTube video doing hammer curls with dumbbells, thruster squats with dumbbells, tricep dips, overhead dumbbell balance, leg raises, glute bridges, and a few others.

Wasn’t a great day yesterday. Didn’t eat very well. Above my fat goal, didn’t hit my water goal nor my step goal. 🙁 today is a new day.

@Krysless2 if it's ok I'll still change my starting weight to 193. I just didn't want to show a big loss to start when I don't think there really was one

You got it! 😉 We will put your start weight at 193

Happy at 194.6 this week ... A lot of football all weekend lead to snacking alot

@Krysless2 Thank you again!
@Melissa132129 I feel ya on the headaches. My husband has had a constant headache (constant meaning that it NEVER goes away at all) for 2.5years. He finally got a possible answer last week when we found out that he has severe arthritis in his c-spine. He now has to get a full spine MRI next week. I have multiple sclerosis and now neither one of us can open a jar...we're going to starve during the apocalypse Yeah, headaches are no joke at all! I hope you can find something that gives some relief.
@TypingToaster super duper workout trooper!
@dheliason Great job!
@lorianncorrea Killing it!!

Monday, 1/4:
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes-Lots of walking today at work. Almost 18,000 steps
Goals/Day/Comments: I did not have breakfast or lunch again today at work. This is something that I continue to struggle with. My patients always come first and I can't bring myself to step away when I am needed by my patients or by my team even though I know I am handing them over to another very competent RN for a short time. I need to work on this! I did manage to stay under my daily allowance and made healthy choices this evening (in the past I would often go through a drive-thru somewhere and grab something that is NOT healthy) when I did get home and finally ate one larger meal this evening...I prefer not to eat such a large meal in the evening, but I keep doing it to myself!
