December 10, 2015 Green today? Yes 10/25 Streak: 16 days Exercise today? No 6/20 Rest day but mainly because of sheer busy-ness

Son's team dinner last night. Department lunch and gift swap today. Cookie baking with my daughter this afternoon for her school function. Busy, busy, busy with limited time to exercise when I need those extra calories the most, lol. @MelissaPhippsFeagins, I'm with ya!

December 7, 2015 Green today? Yes 7/25 Streak: 13 days Exercise today? Yes 5/20 30 minutes on the treadmill, 5 warm up jog then 30 seconds really hard, 1 minute 30 second slow-ish, repeated 10 times and a 5 minute cool down. And Merry Core-mas exercises - haven't missed yet and did measurements Saturday. Lost 1/2 inch…

December 6, 2015 Green today? 6/25 Streak: 12 days Exercise today? 4/20 60 minutes on the treadmill unfortunately. Would have preferred a run outside but the day got away from me. Tree is decorated, Christmas shopping started (usually done by Thanksgiving)., Christmas Vacation with the family tonight. Season is underway!

December 5, 2015 Green today? 5/25 Streak: 11 days Exercise today? 3/20 3 miles on the treadmill. Hubby fixed my display! Apparently it runs on batteries and apparently I'm slower inside than out. @MelissaPhippsFeagins, how special is it that you took an interest in learning more about what your great grandmother knew and…

@meshashesha2012 December 4, 2015 Green today? 4/25 Streak: 10 days Exercise today? 2/20 30 minutes on the treadmill that felt great! Yeah baby! So ready for the weekend. @bbinoa Definitely trying the vicks thing, coughing at night a lot still. I'll pick some up tomorrow. @MelissaPhippsFeagins The onion and honey thing I'd…

December 3, 2015 Green today? 3/25 Streak: 9 days Exercise today? 1/20 No exercise except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Busy with swim meet stuff tonight. I've run the computers for my son's Y team and HS team for the last few years and he's graduating so I'm handing over the reins. Tonight was two separate training…

December 2, 2015 Green today? 2/25 Streak: 8 days Exercise today? 1/20 No exercise except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Very tired tonight. Really need a good night's sleep. Loading up with nyquil tonight.

December 1, 2015 Green today? 1 /25 Streak: 7 day Exercise today? 1/20 Thanksgiving celebration was nice! Still hacking but managed a dentist appointment and 30 minutes on the treadmill. First 5 and last 3 minutes uncomfortably fast. Rest normal pace. @bbinoa, way to motivate! Love your energy!

November 29, 2015 Green today? No 27/25 Streak: 5 day Exercise today? Yes 18/25 3 mile run outside. Not pretty and very slow but I did it. Thanksgiving celebration today. I'll eat what I want and won't eat what I don't want. Calling it red early.

November 28, 2015 Green today? Yes 27/25 Streak: 5 day Exercise today? Yes 17/25 60 minutes on the treadmill today since the cold air hurts my chest still. Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving celebration. Hoping to get outside for a run first.

November 27, 2015 Green today? Yes 27/25 Streak: 4 day Exercise today? No 16/25 Merry Core-mas exercises only. This cold needs to go away. Hoping to get my long run in tomorrow but we'll see.

November 26, 2015 Green today? Yes 26/25 Streak: 3 days Exercise today? Yes 16/25 Celebrating our Thanksgiving on Sunday so I'm green today. 40 minutes on the treadmill and Merry Core-mas. @Laughter_Girl, I've done the Merry Core-mas exercises in my dress clothes before. If I changed or even sweated a little, I'd count the…

November 25, 2015 Green today? Yes 24/25 Streak: 2 day Exercise today? No 15/25 No exercise except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Feeling better tonight but it was a rough day. Plus side is a lack of appetite so I haven't really missed my exercise calories.

@Laughter_Girl, I won't hit my exercise goal either. If I counted my days that I only do the Merry Core-mas exercises maybe, but that's 10 minutes or less and it doesn't get my heart rate up. I'm with ya!

November 24, 2015 Green today? Yes 22/25 Streak: 1 day Exercise today? No 15/25 Unplanned rest day except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Not feeling great tonight. Fighting something so heading to bed early to try to ward it off!

Green today? No 21/25 Streak: 0 day Exercise today? No 15/25 Rest day except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Not sure if I'm over in calories or not so I'll say red. @bbinoa and @Laughter_Girl, I think I have some yak Trax tucked away. They were a gift from my brother in law who is a supervisor for ups. Their drivers use…

November 22, 2015 Green today? Yes 21/25 Streak: 16 day Exercise today? Yes 15/25 7 miles in an hour and 5 minutes! Last mile was actually my fastest but my overall pace was 9.29. @Laughter_Girl, what do you recommend for winter gear? I have stuff I wear for snowshoeing, but it's bulky clothing... @bbinoa, how are you…

November 21, 2015 Green today? Yes 20/25 Streak: 15 day Exercise today? Yes 14/25 3.33 in 31:23 and this was a hills workout so I'm pretty happy with that pace! Supposed to do a 60 minute run tomorrow for the first time.

November 20, 2015 Green today? Yes 19/25 Streak: 14 day Exercise today? No 13/25 Merry Core-mas exercises but no Cardio. @bbinoa, let us know how you make out. Long run on Sunday, 60 full minutes for the first time. Haven't run outside in two weeks so we'll see how it goes! This will follow tomorrow's hills workout...…

November 19, 2015 Green today? Yes 18/25 Streak: 13 day Exercise today? Yes 13/25 30 minutes on the treadmill. Increasing speed slightly every 5 minutes, easy pace last 5. Also Merry Core-mas exercises.

The phone app and my phone don't play nice for some reason. I use Runkeeper instead. I use an arm pouch to hold my phone so it's not as convenient to look at my mileage as it would be if the mileage on the wrist device worked better. It's ok for now but I think I'll replace it with a GPS watch when it dies. All depends on…

November 17, 2015 Green today? Yes 16/25 Streak: 1 day Exercise today? No 11/25 Rest day except for Merry Core-mas exercises! Sounds like everyone is in a really good place right now! I'm not much of a lifter but I am enjoying the body weight challenges I'm doing with a partner thru the holidays. @MelissaPhippsFeagins, I'm…

November 16, 2015 Green today? Yes 15/25 Streak: 10 day Exercise today? Yes 11/25 45 minutes on the treadmill.

I can't speak to the HR version, but I have a Fitbit Charge. It does NOT track mileage accurately. I recently walked a marathon. My training walks were often off anywhere from 1 to 3 miles. It was off by more than 5 for the marathon. I know they say you can "fix" that by calibrating it using a treadmill but I walk and run.…

November 15, 2015 Green today? Yes 15/25 Streak: 9 day Exercise today? Yes 10/25 Two and a half hours of raking leaves.

November 14, 2015 Green today? Yes 13/25 Streak: 8 day Exercise today? Yes 9/25 Speed workout so I warmed up then 2 minutes fast run , 3 minutes slow jog, 2 minutes faster, 3 slow, etc. Done 7 times with the last 2 minute section full out. Total of 40 minutes.

November 13, 2015 Green today? Yes 12/25 Streak: 7 day Exercise today? No 8/25 Think I may need to go to morning workouts during my son's swim season. Evenings tend to fill up.

November 12, 2015 Green today? Yes 11/25 Streak: 6 day Exercise today? Yes 8/25 30 minute treadmill run. My instructions were to go full out for the last 3 minutes. That's a little scary on a treadmill! @Laughter_Girl, I was serious when I said I liked not being able to see the hills. My neighborhood is basically all…
