    My version of the challenge, taking into account that I do a physical job on my feet all day

    🧡1 good workout on work day + add walk on day off
    💛Between 2.7 to 5.3 litres of water
    💚Read 10 pages of a book
    🩵Diet: stay within my calories + up my protein
    🩷No alcohol, I don't drink so will try to limit my chocolate intake instead
    💜 Start / middle/ finish photo

    6/75 🧡💛💚🩵✖️ 1h taekwondo 🥋 , too much chocolate 🍫
    5/75 🧡💛💚🩵🩷 2h walk🚶‍♀️(around the top of the ice rink when my daughter was training)
    4/75 🧡💛💚🩵✖️ 1h taekwondo 🥋, too much chocolate 🍫
    3/75 🧡💛💚🩵🩷34min run🏃‍♀️+ 20min yoga 🧘‍♀️
    2/75 ✖️💛💚🫥✖️ not a great day ☔, no focus
    1/75 🧡💛💚🩵🩷 70min walk🚶‍♀️

    Chocolate is letting me down, I am a bit of a stress eater and if I am tired or stressed will go to the chocolate stash. So I will try to refocus, maybe prepare a daily small chocolate allowance and try my hardest to not take more for next week

    @Pupowl I love the nature photo you take on your walks they are very inspiring

    @Pupowl where are you from? Those pictures are beautiful with the deer and the bird!

    @lindamtuck2018 great job increasing your walking! It always feels great after even if not during.

    @jugar if you find any new good recipes, please share!

    @Emilienewme I hear your with the chocolate! I can't eat it or I will keep wanting more. It's like chips for some people, once I start I can't stop. I have found sugar free chocolate jello which helps with wanting chocolate, and there are some protein one bars, chocolate fudge that are 90 calories. I can eat these once in a while and be fine. But if I'm coming off choclate/sweet binges, I avoid any chocolate for a week or 2, then slowly add it back in.

    @lauren_989 Thanks! I live in the Netherlands. The area I most often go for my walks is the national park called Dwingelderveld.

    Day 7️⃣ of 7️⃣5️⃣
    ✅ Exercise: 75 min walk, 15 min punching bag, 60 min recumbent bike, 5 min abs
    ✅ Read: Allen Carr’s Easy Way To Quit Emotional Eating
    ✅ Water: Gallon
    ✅ Food: within goal favorite food today fresh strawberries and dark cocoa dusted almonds😋
    ✅ Sugar: went grocery shopping and was more mindful of labels which meant putting most things back. I prefer fresh veggies but stocked up on a few bags of frozen for quick weeknight dinners when I get off late.

    1 week in the books! Great job F2F🤗 Have to admit I was a bit bummed I was up a tad during my weekly weigh in. I know it takes time for our bodies to adjust so trying to focus on all the other benefits. Bring on week 2! Good Luck All💪

    My 75 Medium Plan
    Day 7/75 - Saturday March 8th


    • Follow my 10K training schedule every day. My race is April 20th. Yes - rest day.

    • Read about my diet plan for 15 minutes per day to keep me motivated. Still need to read, but will.

    • Drink 8+ glasses of water per day. Yes

    • Took beginning photo on March 3rd & took my measurements. Will do same on May 17th.

    • Using a diet plan I once used 35 years ago. Ate a little more ahi tuna and wild rice than suggested in the plan, but need the extra calories for my 5-miler tomorrow morning. Still stayed under total calories.

    • No alcohol. don’t have an interest in drinking alcohol

    One week down - we're doing great!

    March 9 - Day 7/75

    ✅ Food - On plan, and especially good on variety today.
    ✅ No alcohol no problem!
    ✅ Exercise - Two workouts per day: 1strength-1 aerobic. 45 minutes combination of kettlebells and carrying heavy things up my long hill from car to house, exercise bike 45 minutes.
    ✅ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. more Who By Fire, and an annoying article of the "what I wish I had known" ilk.
    ✅ Water - 60 today
    ✅ Thoughts - Looked up some recipes! I'm making a tuna ceviche tomorrow. I am also going to be a bit more strict about strength workouts. Just saying 2 workouts per day sometimes turns into 2 mostly aerobic activities. Even though working with my horse involves a lot of muscle work, it does not have the same range of movement under stress and is less effective at keeping muscle mass. At my age it is easy to lose! Kettlebell workout today felt great.

    Day 9/75

    ✅️ Two 45 minute workouts (one outside)
    ✅️ Drink 1 gallon of water
    ✅️ Follow a diet
    ✅️ Read 10 pages non-fiction/self help
    ✅️ Take a daily progress picture
    ✅️ No alcohol
    ✅️ No phone in bed

    I had a wonderful (not) 45 minute walk in the rain today.

    Tomorrow I have a 7 mile hike scheduled with a hiking group. The sun should be back out, but it will be windy. Then my second workout will most likely be yoga to help stretch a bit after the long hike.

    Photos of nutria/coypu that I saw on my walk yesterday. A couple came to feed the swans and ducks and had some potato peelings for the nutria family.


    Honestly, I forgot I was doing this challenge 🤦‍♀️

    Anyway, there are some ticks and, of course, there are too many crosses. I'll make more of an effort and not let my lazy bones interfere with bettering myself. I've changed a couple of things from my original list to make each task more recordable.

    Well done everyone else 👏

    ✅ No alcohol no problem!
    ✅ Exercise - Two workouts per day: 1strength-1 aerobic. 45 minutes combination of kettlebells and Pilates, hike in the snowy woods 45 minutes.
    ✅ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. A good piece on journaling with interesting prompts. Did some writing too!

    Hi all,

    @jugar - can I still join this challenge? I belonged to the WaistAways long ago, but after taking some time away to focus on some health issues, I'd like to get back to things. I missed joining for WA for March, so I thought I would join this challenge instead.

    Thanks!
