    I'm doing 100 days of no excuses!
    If i fail in doing my steps or keeping to my calories then I'm going to own it and stop blaming external factors .... like the weather, or having visitors, or feeling ill or any of the other excuses i find!

    Tenacity! It does the job. There are days when you just don't, though - no blame, no fail, just fact. Pick up and go on. WTG!

    I do great with cardio and seldom miss a day but strength training, not so much. I would really like to get back into the habit of lifting weights 2-3x per week, every week. Not just sporadically like I have been for the past few months.

    Happy Saturday y'all!

    I've walked every day this week and mostly mornings before work, with the exception of one day. Have hit my walking goal and daily step goal EVERY day and just finished my Intentional walking goal for the month of Sept, which was 56 miles...I hit 60.5 today! YAY MEeeee!!

    I'm loving all of the different ways you're all closing out 2023 with such grace, energy, dedication and positivity! How could we be anything but inspired in this group!!!

    So, have you started thinking ahead to any specific goals for October or for 2024 yet? What's on your mind?!! Any special milestones you're looking forward to coming up soon?! Share away! Enjoy your Sunday!

    @ganival Thanks for your kind words!! I'm going to do 60 miles of intentional walking for October...keep up my 10k steps for my daily step goal and work a little harder on veggie intake in the nutrition lane. In 2024, I want to see my numbers improve...

    What goals are you setting?

    I needed my 10k so I danced, bounced on rebounder, danced, jog in place, dance, then danced some more. Got it done. Lol.
    @Slimmersixties I love your no more excuses. I am bad about saying weather, company, no time, etc. Thank you for pointing out that it is all excuses.
    @GinLee61 I know what you mean about strength training. I need to get back to that. I used to do more strength training and struggle with cardio. Now it has flipped.
    @itladyee I love your chart. How do you do the spoiler section?

    I haven't done so well this week. It seems that I just need one little obstacle and I slide back down the slope. I'm not giving up, I just need to start from the foot of the slope again.

    Out of these 8 days of the 100 Day Challenge I’ve been chocolate free for 5 of them, and one of the days was just two tiny pieces.
    Overall, this is a win for me so far. It’s a gradual withdrawal, but I definitely feel I’m getting better at removing chocolate from my life.

    I did manage to use the weights 2x last week. Tried a new full body strength workout video and I was feeling it in my butt for days. This week I'm going to aim for using the weights 3x.

    Aloha

    I know this is going to sound really strange but… I’m headed over to Honolulu on Tuesday for 10 days. The husband is working and I get to “tag along” for the duration.

    This is the part where I think you’ll laugh. I play Pokémon Go and Honolulu has some amazing walking routes attached to the game.
    So for 10 days, I’ll be walking and capturing Pokémon. It makes my heart happy.

    Pokémon / Honolulu sounds like a heavenly match to me!! Enjoy

    I was reflecting on the year, and Love Me More by Sam Smith was playing on my playlist.
    This song used to be a sad one for me. I'd use it to allow my self to feel my sadness and also as a tool of inspiration. Yesterday when I heard the song there was no sadness, only joy.

    Here is a link to the song for those that are interested.
    https://youtu.be/H1hDzq98WIY?si=iC5aGymsXLbWJLpX

    Thank you for sharing this. I just listened to it and didn't feel any sadness either! I probably would have cried my eyes out a month ago. It's amazing how we heal <3

    I have missed checking in here for a few days - things got super busy! But so far, alcohol free for 9 of 100 days. I had a beer after living through my taller half installing our new induction range and I decided to celebrate that it was finally done and the atmosphere in the house could lighten up a bit! The stove is pretty amazing :smiley:

    I am enjoying my dance time. I thought it was to just celebrate the day, but I am finding it very nice for self-care. When I am tired, I can put on a slow song and just sway to the music. I find it very comforting. Just getting lost in my thoughts and movements.

    I am so proud of everyone doing so well with your goals. @jugar I want to hear all about the wonderful food getting cooked on that range. I bet that was quite a tough installation.

    Another chocolate free day!

    I think I’m getting past the urge to have any.

    There was white cake with white and red frosting for a friend’s 80th birthday at a gathering today and I had some of that and it was disgustingly sweet - could only tolerate a little bit of it.

    Getting past the urges is great! WTG I found a good notion for getting past those - search "surf the urge" and there is some helpful stuff if you ever need it.
