Hi all! I have been MIA for a few days. I was worried about my kids spring break killing my progress then life laughed at me and said “How about trying strep throat instead?!” Ugh. So I have been down for the count for most of the week. No tracking, although I wasn’t eating much, and definitely no exercise. I did manage to…

3/15 Mini challenge Tracking: Yes Under calories: No Exercise: yes Steps: 11,600 This will be an interesting week! My kids are on spring break, I am working from home some and then off for a few days. I struggle on weekends, without a regular schedule, so I feel like this is going to be one big extended weekend! Going to…

Ok, catching up!

Good shoes make such a huge difference! Glad you found a pair that works for you. I did one of those "run test" at one of our local running stores years ago and they suggested a style that I live and die by. I still get shin splints, so don't get discouraged if they come back. I wear compression socks and often tape my…

Yes, I do weigh myself every morning. It is just habit and it keeps me aware. I think it can be stressful for some people but I make a point to keep in mind that certain times of the month I am always 2 or 3 pounds heavier and I think the daily weigh in sets my tone for the day. Thanks!!

I understand this completely. Even when I am over being accountable feels like a win. Best of luck for your March!

So my weigh in day isn't until Friday, but just wanted to update since my goal this week was to get my second number to 2 instead of 3... goal accomplished! Weighed in this morning at 129 (I know, small victory, but I will take it) so my new goal for this week is to keep that number at at 2 and at least go down a pound or…

@cmhubbard92 Friday weigh in 131 Not an ideal week, although I actually did great with my tracking and exercise. My goal next week is to have a different second number (to be clear I would like that second number to be a 2, not a 4 :D ). Mini challenges for 3/5 Tracking: yes Under calories: yes Exercise: yes Happy Friday…

@Krysless2 we're neighbors!!! I grew up in Hillsborough county... live in Pasco now. My husband is a born and raised Hillsborough County kid... until now that is ;-) Enjoy the Strawberry festival!!

Hi Sarah! I just did a 15k a couple of weekend ago and am training for my second 1/2 marathon in April. When are you doing your 1/2?

Hi all! Goodbye to February, hello March. February wasn’t good for me for tracking or weight (correlation... shocker! 😆) so I am rededicating in March. I am going to do the step, tracking and exercise mini challenges. My goal is 70,000 steps a week and to workout for a minimum of 90 minutes per week. I know for me the…

Well I have completely fallen off the wagon of the mini challenges, but I have tried to track my steps on the spreadsheet. I know tracking food makes a big difference for me, so I have to get back on that. I work out and run (did a 15k on Saturday) but for me it's all food and drink that keeps the weight on. Perhaps March…

Does anyone else struggle with the weekends?! We had off on Monday, so it was a long weekend, which made it worse! I didn't in January, but this month I am really struggling. What do you all do to stay motivated and track on the weekends?

Thanks! I see that I am already on the spreadsheet for the step challenge. I would also like to participate in the ones I reported for yesterday.

Ok, so I don't think I am technically in the mini challenges this month because I joined late, but I am going to try to report everyday going forward anyway because I need the accountability. :D 2/9 Tracked: Yes Within calories: yes Exercise: Yes, 60 minutes of tennis Steps: 6,627 (suprisingly low :s )

Week one weigh in: 131

I am back! So the end of January/start of February was really tough. I was sick for a week (still on antibiotics) then has a friend in town through 2/3. I didn’t even get to really finish January out, which was so frustrating because I had been so diligent! But anyway, I am back. It is so helpful knowing that I need to…

Do we roll over from January or need to re-sign up? Can we stay on the same team?
