I managed a few hundred steps today, but the ankle is feeling a little better. The swelling is almost gone, I can feel the ligaments pulling when I turn my feet, so I did some straight up and down pacing in my kitchen just to do something. I can't believe that these words are going to come out of my mouth, but I've not…

A bit late, but I'm here. Feeling a little 'blah' today, I want to be out doing things instead of sitting with my foot up. Got a gentle walk planned for tomorrow to test the ankle out (but not push it too hard).

Very little activity for me today, and there'll be very little over the next two days as I spent most of the afternoon in A&E getting my ankle checked out. Stepped on a dodgy kerb in the grounds of where I work, and turned my ankle rather painfully. Fell onto my knees, took some skin off of my right one, but I now have a…

8th April, checking in.

Under my goal again yesterday, I even managed to treat myself to a chocolate bar and remain under all the necessary targets :smile:

Well, ladies and gents of Team Awesome, welcome to Warrnambool, we made it!! WOO HOO! And in only 6 days! We *are* awesome! (Its showing as 08/04 as I uploaded the data after midnight) I managed to get screen grabs of the PDFs (and the PDFs themselves) of certificates for each of you, for your MFP username. I can try and…

Bumping this to remind everyone to add their data for the 6th April. I'm going to tally up in a few hours, and I think we may have made it....

I'm happy to be 'bitchin', ha ha, and thanks. I'm doing the basic set up for the next team challenge now so we're ready to roll come May 1st. But I'm dying to know how far we make it in 14 days for this one...

No worries, I'll do the maths and add it to the total :smile:

I'd be happy to. I'll update the sheet at some point today.

I was under my calorie goal for yesterday, and I bought chopped veggies to work with me today to snack on (carrots and cucumber). Gonna try and make healthy choices today :smile:

Here :smile: That's great news, K :smiley:

I've got a pair of jeans just waiting for me to be able to fit into. Last year, I couldn't even get them over my thighs. I've not tried them yet, but I'm going to see what happens at the end of this month. I SO want to get in to them. They're three sizes down from my starting size, so I might just cry when I get into them,…

Ok, are we ready for an even bigger update. Day Five: Team Awesome covered a whopping 30.3 miles, taking us to EIGHTY-NINE PER CENT of our target!! Depending on how we did today, well.... we might have made it folks. But I'm not counting chickens here. lets see what the morning brings.... We made it to the Twelve Apostles…

Sorry for the delayed update, I have two essays kicking my butt, but I've tallied the totals, and here are our new updates. Drum roll... Our total for Day Four was a grand 21.76 miles, taking us to 69% of our total goal, woo hoo!

That's an awesome NSV, and a very important one, well done @ClarissaCLD

Lazy day for me yesterday, as I was desperate to get my essays written (the deadline is this week). I still went for a walk after work before studying, but I would have liked to have done more.

Motivational song for the day: David Bowie: Heroes "We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgcc5V9Hu3g

Got it @Pepperh3ad thanks :smile:

I was under my goal yesterday, but my choices haven't been the best for a couple of days. But, like Dory, I'm just gonna keep swimming...

That must be a fab feeling, @Nuari2016 well done :smiley:

Here

That is so wonderful, MM, well done :smiley: I guess one NSV for me was when I could make it from the bus stop near my workplace to my office (which is only about an 8 minute walk up a gentle hill, then two flights of stairs) without stopping halfway through to catch my breath for a few minutes, and then stopping to catch…

I'll update the sheet. Great work today :smile:

I'm not sure. I sat with my fingers on the keyboard for a while trying to think of a proper answer to this. I think maybe its partly to do with the fact that I'm angry at myself for not doing anything about the things that happened to me, angry because I didn't speak out or fight back, and angry because I let those people…

Ok, fellow strollers, its time for our Day Three update! Drum roll please...... In the immortal words of Jon Bon Jovi "Oooh, we're halfway there"! Well, actually more than halfway, we've walked 55% of the way along the Great Ocean Road. Great job, team :smiley: We've walked right on through Lorne, and have safely arrived…

I'm here.

Last night, while watching a couple of videos on YouTube, I stumbled upon an American programme called 'My 600lb Life'. It detailed a year in the life of a guy who had reached 600lbs, and had decided to have gastric surgery to help him lose weight. I don't know what I expected when I started watching it, but it showed this…

Of course you can :smile: I've added you to the spreadsheet, it might take a little while to show up, but you're there. Nice to have you with us.

You got it, buddy, lets do this! Happy to hear you're doing well too :smiley:
