Small hurdle yesterday, when my husband's aunt came to dinner on her last night in town. She brought a partial bottle of wine that she wouldn't be able to finish herself before she went home. Husband doesn't drink, so I let my dry January become damp January to be polite. Husband says that it doesn't count, because I…

1/1: AF (extra 1/2: So far, so good! Home from work, almost done cooking dinner, and not planning to leave the house to buy any wine. :) It's only been a day and a half, but I've been sticking to my AF goal and my calorie goal, and I'm proud of myself so far!

Hello everyone! I just joined this group, and I'm hoping that it will help me. I've slowly gained weight for the past decade or so, and I'm not where I would like to be anymore. Last year, I lost 10 of the 20 pounds that I wanted to lose, then fell off the wagon and re-gained the 10. To be fair, it took me 3 months to lose…

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I'm planning a totally dry January. Will re-evaluate and probably loosen up my goal in February, but I think I need a hard reset to start off the year. Best of luck to everyone here with sticking to your goals this month!

I fell behind on posting here... Again! I've been out camping with my parents, so lots of walking around the campground and elsewhere. I only logged a few of the walks, but I was definitely getting exercise! My mom has been really struggling with side effects from the meds she's on the keep cancer in remission (almost 3…

Thanks for the encouragement, @martaindale! You're right - I am happy that I made myself go out! Did 1 mile of run/walk intervals, then decided I'd better not overdo it and did the 2nd mile as just walking. I felt like I could have run more, but since it was my first time running since getting sick in April, I decided to…
-
It's been hot here, and busy with the end of the school year (graduation, awards ceremonies, final exams, and trying to finish grades). Went for a walk with mom yesterday to start off my month. 1.35 miles. Have a busy day planned today, so I know that I should get out this morning while I have time (and while it's still…

I'm back (again). At the beginning of May, I optimistically posted that I was getting over being sick in April, and should be back... I was very wrong! A month, antibiotics, a pulled muscle in my ribs from coughing,, and a lot of resting later, I'm finally feeling almost back to normal. And tomorrow is the last day of…

Hello everyone! I fell off of the habit of using MFP after March, so I totally missed April's challenge here. But now I'm back for May! I'm getting over a bad respiratory illness right now, plus May will be very busy for me with musicals, family, and the end of the school year, so I am going to be aiming low with a goal of…

Did 3 miles today. Some running, but more walking. A little chilly, but beautiful sun today. And the daffodils in the park are finally blooming! They grow all along the trail that I like to run.
-
The last few days have been a mess. Grades are due for report cards at school, husband has been sick, and the weather has been crummy. So haven't done much. Finally had a day with okay weather and some time, so managed to get out for 1.5 mile walk with my coworker after school. Not sure where I stand for my goal. Will have…

Hello everyone! No miles Sunday or Monday (unless you count carrying my bass from the back parking lot at the concert, since they want us to save the close parking for the audience). Yesterday, walked 2.2 miles with coworker after school. Today ran 0.8 miles in my neighborhood. I wasn't really feeling it, and I left my…

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! It's a busy busy weekend for me. I play upright bass, and I'm an occasional ringer with a symphony orchestra in the next county. It's a concert weekend with them, so I had a looooong rehearsal last night, then a concert tonight and another tomorrow.…
-
Didn't get out Sunday or Monday because of the weather, but finally made it out Tuesday. Walked 1.75 miles with my coworker. 30 degrees and windy, but we went out anyway. Will probably walk together again today, and it's supposed to be warmer and sunny! Yesterday, mid 40s and sunny. Decided to run/walk to the grocery store…
-
30 degrees out, and I really didn't want to run today, but forced myself to anyway. Ran faster than lately because I wanted to be finished faster.... probably not my best choice, and I might be sore tomorrow. But at least I went outside and pushed myself! Really tough run from both the temperature and the speed. Even with…
-
Busy day yesterday, so no time left for a run. Weather was miserable as well, so probably would not have enjoyed being outside in the sleet and rain. :( Worked all day (doing a lab, so the kids kept me busy walking all over the classroom to help), tutoring after school, quick dinner with husband before he went back to…
-
Mmmm all this talk of chocolate eggs is making me hungry, and I already had my lunch :( luckily, no chocolate in my classroom apart from my emergency hot chocolate packets for days when tea just won't cut it haha. I'm allergic to milk, so I'm not supposed to eat most chocolate unless I want to make myself sick. Dairy free…

2.3 miles today. Chilly (43 degrees F) and windy, but sunny. Continuing to increase my intervals of running and decrease the walking. Making progress, even if it's slower than I would like.
-
@martaindale so sorry to hear about your kid, but glad that you are getting them the help that they need! Not a parent myself, but I work with teenagers and I can't even imagine how tough parenting a teen would be.
-
Just a walk today. My coworker and I walk our campus every Tuesday, and try to do a few other days once it gets warm out. 1.5 miles on a cold, but sunny winter afternoon. Nice to get out and to have the time to decompress before going home.
-
Hmm I guess I can see what you mean about the wider toe box. But the middle and heel are nice and narrow for me. I've never had shoes that i didn't have to pull the laces super tight to fit my foot, so I've been liking the brooks. And I don't mind a little extra space near my toes, if I can get a good fit everywhere else.…
-
Busy busy busy on Thursday and Friday. Worked out a little bite at home, but no running. Felt sick on Saturday (either a little cold or allergies), so tried to just take it easy that day. Yesterday still not 100%, so continued relaxing. Did a slow 2 mile walk that day. Today I was back to running/walking intervals. 3 miles…

Non scale victory: I fit into a dress for work that I haven't worn in 3 years! I got rid of a lot of the clothes that didn't fit, but I saved a few favorites. Still can't fit in the others, but this is a start and was very exciting for me!
-
Goal for the month: 30 miles, combination of running and walking. Would like to get to the point where I can run a 5k this year, but starting small. Started off yesterday with a 2.4 mile hike. Lots of hills, so mostly kept to a brisk walk, but added a few small jogging intervals here and there. On running shoes: I have a…

I missed my February goal by .72 miles. I guess I should have run today instead of doing a barre workout... But it was wet and gloomy outside, so I think doing anything after work was a victory. Even though I didn't meet my goal, I'm still proud of myself for being way more active than I've been in a long time. Hopefully…
-
Didn't do any exercise yesterday (oops!) even though weekends are usually my best time to get outside. I was pretty productive at home, though! I knew that I needed to get out today, to try to keep up the habit. Nice and sunny, and I had a good audiobook, but I was just struggling to get in the mood. So ran intervals for 1…
-
I got behind on reading and posting again! Sunday and Monday were too busy (although Sunday I spent a couple hours stacking firewood, so still got a workout). Worked out in home gym Tuesday and Wednesday, then finally ran again yesterday. Didn't have a ton of daylight, so only 2 miles. Ran most of first and walked most of…
-
Interesting point about the treadmill! I hadn't thought of that. I went to a local high school's track to try them out. Did about 20 minute run/walk combo and wasn't sure how I felt about the shoes. Them rested for half hour and did another 30 min of run/walk intervals, and I really liked the shoes. So I guess it was…
-
Good morning everyone! It's been a few days since I've been here. There's a lot of posts to catch up on! No mileage for the past two days. I did do a few running-related tasks: finally bought new shoes and upgraded my watch. I've been wearing the same fitbit for about 7 years, and I wanted a few more features. It's still…
-
Another unseasonably warm day here. February is normally one of our coldest, snowiest months, so I don't know what the weather has been up to. 70 degrees today might be a record high. Husband couldn't pass up this weather, so he called a last minute, pre-season practice for his tennis team. Since we carpool to work, I come…
