@bradkcrew Yah! glad you're back. @pisanee Boo...sorry to see you leave. Jer gan mai!

Drove past some rural Dollar General's today, and thought "Wonder if they have those slippers?"

Last week it was >70F and pretty warm for a difficult hike. Now it's ~20F with a high of 40F forecast. Winter in the Carolinas...........

Done. We're going on a longer hike tmrw, and to a new place/new trail. ICY to do seven mins total in a challenging cardio activity. Could be seven on the stairclimber, or seven mins total as tabata on/offs doing HIIT moves. Just seven mins of something challenging as if it were Quidditch week and you needed some Chaser…

@Dawnshealth111 Congrats! I'm sure that's a huge load off.

I'm done waiting on my back to feel 100%, so I could well be channeling some Grinch-iness this afternoon.

https://www.self.com/program/spring-reset-challenge For those looking for other sources of exercise ideas, SELF magazine is starting a four-week challenge consisting of five workouts per week, three strength and two cardio.

Yep

28 MCs done. ICY to put down that cookie/pie/cake and walk away, just once, on the 29th.

My constant attacks on the oatmeal cookies finally spurred the pumpkin cheesecake to rally in their defense. The poor cheesecake, however, grossly underestimated my resolve and that mistake led to its ultimate demise. Victory is mine. I tried to banish the box of Whitman chocolates, but MomWow shot that down. I foresee…

Yea, I'm up as well, but mostly from reduced exercise. Eating has not been too over-the-top. It's going to be very warm here this week, so lot's of outside yard work as well as getting back to gym.

Well, we traveled on the Christmas Eve for the first time, and that really screwed up last-minute preps. But we were still ahead of sked compared to most years.

Had a good gym day. I'm going to take yoga mat to gym tomorrow. NSV = I made a UV that I'm not wrapping any presents on Christmas Eve, and we're the most ahead of sked ever.

Consumed 19+ oz water at gym. ICY to do 19 bicycle crunches.

@pisanee I saw your UV for push-ups and was wondering how that went? I've ready about people doing XX burpees in a month, or variations on that idea, and was wondering how push-ups went for you. I did well MTW this week with solid gym visits, but didn't do anything Th or F.

Crunches complete. ICY to do 16 lunges.

Push-ups complete. ICY to do 15 squats.

I'll kick this off with @filmgal30's idea, and I'm headed to gym for upper body stuff, so I'll do those 15 push-ups for December 15. For Scotland!

@filmgal30 I like using the date as either 'reps' or 'minutes.' It could also be the 'duration or time' once we get above ~20th. As in, do 23 seconds ON of [whatever], and 7 seconds off, for a 30-second tabata type of thing. There's just 20 of us right now, and it's the holidays, so keeping it simple and in one place may…

I'm guessing with weigh-ins starting today that now would be appropriate to shift all attentions to term 37. We have lots of freshmen in Slytherin, and with the major changes to MFP, it's an additional challenge to find things. See everyone at school...............

Got back to some of my old HIIT moves, and jumped on a box and did several leg exercises for first time in a long time. ICY to drink a full glass of water.

@bradkcrew Slimpossible suggested you befriend the prefects from Ravenclaw. Not sure why they didn't "friend request" you first, but she said you were sorted into Rave for this term. They must need a rock star and you're it. @Rigibann No kidding. Major updates to the user interface. Can't find *kitten* either.

@bradkcrew I sent msgs to Maalea and Neon_Vampire, but you should too. Maybe try @SlimPossible007 as she's online often.

Uh, yea, that's got to be an oversight. Maybe the Google Form glitched or something. It's certainly not for lack of effort.

https://www.fitbit.com/global/us/products @bradkcrew Versa, Sense and a tracker model on sale at Fitbit.com and on Amazon. Versa 2 price seems lower than I've seen it.

Been slacking on gym time during break. Got back today and had a good run on elliptical, with decent cardio/peak time. Did legs for first since forever. Didn't break down and cry, yet. Jumping on box AFTER lunges and squats was a tactical error, though. Prolly looked like a spastic frog.

Shannon got her owl for Hufflepuff.
