@pisanee I saw your UV for push-ups and was wondering how that went? I've ready about people doing XX burpees in a month, or variations on that idea, and was wondering how push-ups went for you.
I did well MTW this week with solid gym visits, but didn't do anything Th or F.0 -

It went okay, I guess. They got easier to do each week and I feel like my form improved, even if they were still modified. Gradually increasing the number each week might have been better than keeping it fixed. Unfortunately, 3 weeks was kind of short and I didn’t maintain the habit. I still try to do them when I remember, but it isn’t daily anymore. I joined those monthly MFP plank and burpee challenge groups in the past, but lacked the ongoing discipline to last more than a few months.0 -
Had a good gym day. I'm going to take yoga mat to gym tomorrow.
NSV = I made a UV that I'm not wrapping any presents on Christmas Eve, and we're the most ahead of sked ever.1 -
Ugh!🤦♀️ Every year I say that and every yesr it is stressfully down the chimney… I mean to the wire!0

Umm yeah. I've wrapped one present so far....we do Christmas with my side of the family around New Year's so I just need to wrap for the kids and hubby. He gets a special 25% off one transaction at work (walmart) so we save up and do all our shopping at once. This year it's later than usual. We are going tomorrow. So we haven't even gotten most of our gifts but I know what I'm getting. But it will be a wrapping frenzy after that.1

Well, we traveled on the Christmas Eve for the first time, and that really screwed up last-minute preps. But we were still ahead of sked compared to most years.1

I officially gained 1 pound last week. But that's ok. I'm slowly making my way back to my regularly scheduled programs. I completed 3 camp gladiators last week and will do the same this week. I work today through Friday so that may help me avoid all the Christmas candy and cookies that are at home. 🤞 Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Mine was truly a Harry Potter Christmas lol. My family knows me so well. They got the Harry Potter trivia game for me but no one wants to play it🤭. I started a game with my sil and nieces in Minnesota. It'll be an on going game that will last a long time. Only playing as we can. Can't wait till our weight loss challenge starts up again.1

Yea, I'm up as well, but mostly from reduced exercise. Eating has not been too over-the-top.
It's going to be very warm here this week, so lot's of outside yard work as well as getting back to gym.1 -

Yes, same for me @MWMstr17 my workouts are down and even today my heart wasn't really in it. I feel like something is off. I really shouldn't be tired. I've rested, I'm sleeping. Might be a kind of depression. Work can get really awful a really hectic. There's always covid tests to run and covid and flu shots to give, and a million prescriptions to fill. Maybe I'm just feeling overwhelmed. Ah well. There's my vent for the day. 😉
@Neon_Vampire I intended to set up the board and and play all for houses by myself🤭 Some of the questions are really hard and some way easy. I've seen the movies a million times but I don't really pay attention to details and sometimes it's just background noise.1 -
@Allaesa72 and @Neon_Vampire I too have a version of Harry Potter trivial pursuit I can’t find anyone to play with me (as well as a Jane Austen board game). IDK maybe some how here in Slytherin one of our games could be trivial pursuit / board game based (rename the 4 teams on your board w/slytherin names -Salazar’s Team, Draco’s Team, Team Snape, Team Narsissa) and play for points/frogs towards the Salazar/Slytherin trophy1

How was everyones holidays? I took a bit of an internet break but am back and also back on track!1

I worked Christmas eve day and Christmas. It wasn't bad. I tried to make it the best holiday I could for my residents. My family will celebrate on Wednesday.1

I love that idea1 -
My constant attacks on the oatmeal cookies finally spurred the pumpkin cheesecake to rally in their defense. The poor cheesecake, however, grossly underestimated my resolve and that mistake led to its ultimate demise. Victory is mine. I tried to banish the box of Whitman chocolates, but MomWow shot that down. I foresee some trench warfare before Term 38.1

Happy New Year, All! How’s the sprinting to Scotland going? Any goals or new habits for the new year ?
OMG, it’s 18 degrees with real feel of 6 “maybe” i’ll shoot for the 29min outside ICY? Yesterday it was zero with a real feel of minus 20. It’s practically balmy out today.0 -
Happy New Year everyone!
I have been slacking off during the holidays, only really doing the alphabet thing lately (soooo many burpees, planks, and push-ups). Hoping to get out for a walk on Tuesday and then some cardio housecleaning. But I really need to spend some time on the treadmill or stationary bike before the new term starts.0
