    Hi my nave is Teresa, and like many I am ready for 2022, whatever it will bring!

    I am 63, married, have 2 adult Sons, 1 step adult Daughter. I'm an accountant with a very busy main job (plus hour long commute each way). I also have a couple of extra side jobs that keep my weekends filled. It is great to be employed, however this leaves little time for exercise, and I sit in front of my computers way too much.

    Do you want to set some goals that are good for your Heart, Mind, Soul and Body? For me, not necessarily a resolution, just a continuing goal to get into better shape. I know when I am good to my body, it is good for my Heart, Mind and Soul too... they are all connected.

    Daily Minimum Goals:
    Exercise: Walk 30 mins
    Steps: 8,000
    Track: Every food & drink in MFP
    Calories: Stay under MFP goal
    Mind: Don't beat myself up if I don't reach these goals each day. Take sometime each day to reflect.

    I am looking forward to getting to know you all. <3

    ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGS

    We are going to be running a (Optional) Mini-Accountability Challenge (Optional)

    First and foremost is that participation in this challenge is optional. It's up to you as to whether you want to try this. I definitely encourage participation for a couple reasons, one of the being it helps to keep your goals in focus daily but also it's motivating to see others working on the same things and having the same struggles too. It's defintely a reminder that we're not alone and we are a team!

    The Daily Posts Challenge is based on another challenge on MFP called UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge). The way UAC works is that the aim is to follow 5 basic rules.

    #1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
    #2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget. (you set your own budget)
    #3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
    #4. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).

    ****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "Winners Circle".

    It works on an honor system. Being honest with yourself and others is a key to making things work. Remember, this is a judgement free zone, everyone has good days and bad days, but the way to get to the finish line is by being honest and when we have a bad day, picking ourselves up and carrying on the next day!

    Consistency and new habits have been shown the only long term successful way to change weight. We all want the progress made here to last a lifetime.

    Your posts should look like this:
    Daily Post (Sunday)

    Track: Yes/no
    Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
    Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
    Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about your how your day went or your goals for the day)

    Please post your weight on your scheduled weigh in day, as if you miss weigh-ins, you may be eliminated from the challenge and we don't want to see that happen!!

    Your posts should look like this:
    AB0215
    Week 1
    PW =(previous weight)
    CW=(current weight)

    Please, please setup your posts in that format as it really makes it much easier for us to track your progress for the challenges and the weight loss!!

    We'd like to help you be as successful as possible and if we can help in any way, please let us know. Also, if you have any suggestions for the team or fun ideas to spice things up a bit, please feel free to share them, we look for new ways to help engagement and keep people motivated!!

    Welcome to the Challenge!!

    Happy New Year team!
    For the new year, I am re-evaluating my priorities. I teach fifth grade and the majority of my time is spent working on some type of prep or grading for school. So, I don’t give myself any time for my health.

    For the new year that means I will tighten up my exercise routine and eating habits. My current goals are to workout at least 4 times a week and drink at least 60 ounces of water daily.
