Happy Monday all! @cmhubbard92 Thanks for the reminder about 4/30... not sure how I missed that day.

Wow, I don't post for a few days and I feel WAY behind! So obviously we have rolled over to May, but a quick catch up for me... I think like a lot of us April was difficult and I, for one, was just happy to have not put on a few pounds. I have been super motivated this last week of April though, so happy to report my mini…

Ok, major catch up here. I started out last week so strong then fell off by the weekend. First, Friday weigh in 131. Still the same.

@cmhubbard92 We're actually doing a combination of exercises. Kind of HIIT meets boot camp and we're doing some running too.

Ok, I have officially adjusted my calories on MFP (only raised it by 200) because I was consistently going over 20-100 calories and it was set VERY low. So, here's my first mini challenge check in, post new calorie goal. 4/14 Tracking: Yes Within calories: Yes (actually within my previous lower number, but that was an…

Wow @cmhubbard92! What a great loss!! 4/9 mini challenge Tracking: yes Under calories: no, but only by 26! Exercise: yes Steps: 8,093 I'm starting to think I have my calorie goal set too low. It is really low and I'm afraid a bit unrealistic. I am going to rethink it. 4/10 weigh in: 131 I am up from last week but it is…

@cmhubbard92 The goal is to do all 5 each day for 90 days! My daughter has started baking a lot during this at home time and it is becoming so second nature to lick the bowl and eat a brownie or cookie when the house is engulfed with the smells so I think I am giving that up. 😄

Here's another version... with writing down 5 things you are grateful for, which is what I do in a Start Today Journal by Rachel Hollis. I just printed this one and put it on the bulleting board right above my desk at home so I am constantly reminded of it while I'm working.

Yay! A new month! I started it off right this morning with a run. I am doing 5 to Thrive, which is a Rachel Hollis thing. It is at least a goal each day. It is right in line with our mini-challenges, but it is nice to have a visual. In the past I have given up one category of food 30 days at a time, rather than the entire…

Well, I have not kept up with my mini challenges the past couple of days so there is no point putting them in with “no” for everything. 😆 My Friday weigh in was 130. No loss but no gain either so I’ll just look at the positive side. My kids finally start their “homeschooling” this next week so, while I dread it, I do think…

3/24 Tracking: yes Under Calories: yes Exercise: yes Steps: 11,886

Well it sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat in that it feels really easy to let all of this stuff fall away right now. I am so tempted to think my weight/fitness don’t matter with all of this going on, especially after being sick, but I have done that before. The stress of everything can make us give up but I am…

Oh I guess I could put in my steps! It will be obvious the two days I was practically in bed all day. 3/17 - 10,884 3/18 - 3,784 3/19 - 2,856 3/20 - 9,009
