Should we get the weekly challenge started back up? Thoughts on any changes you would like to see?

This last week has been one continuous disaster after another. *sigh* I am hoping that my luck is turning around. Today there were some signs of better things coming like I had an unexpected loss this week. Yay! The replacement Fitbit has arrived so that motivated me to track food stuffs today and my eating seems to be on…

Hi! Oh my! I started back up with the NRoWL and, man, am I sore. I am just so bad at holding back. It always makes the first couple times excruciating. I am two days from when we started and my soreness has hopefully peaking. Still no word on the lost Fitbit. Sara Grace

I lost my Fitbit out of my pocket today. Blerg. Sara Grace

Hi Everyone! Count me as a day late to the motivation train. I have a gym plans set with a few friends and yesterday I got my membership all squared away. Sadly, the scale was up 2.2lbs since the last time I peeked at it. Which, if I really consider it, could be a lot worse. I can't quite shake the feeling of hovering at…

Things do seem deadly quiet around here this week. We have been buried in company. I will be back with new commitments when they leave on Sunday! Maybe we should shake up the challenge some? Do something different?

Ellie - You are probably right! I forgot all about back to school. I just figured people were vacationing and generally busy with summer. I am also really loving my Fitbit. I find myself constantly trying to fit in a couple more steps when I am wearing it. It is also nice to see how much sleep I am getting and how much…

Ah shoot. I messed up my repost of the challenges. Fixed now. Sri - Feel free to stick with the "You are what you eat" challenge if you like. That was our July challenge but it was a good one. :-) This month we are choosing whether to be a tortoise or a hare with our weekly exercise. (See descriptions above.) This week: I…

Sri - I am also logging food today! Gonna need to get some exercise so I have some calories for dinner. :-) I just vacuumed around the rowing machine... That seems a little like getting closer to using it. Edit: I did the rowing machine! Victory! Sadly the Fitbit isn't giving me seconds when reporting my time. So it was 11…

Debbie - Congrats on remembering not to break you streak! I can never remember. I suspect if I were more diligent about logging my food that would help. Heck that would help with loads of things! :-) Now that I have the Fitbit and am fairly confident about how much I should be eating daily I am certainly running out of…

Hi Everyone! I am still staying with my friend on the east coast. She made a lot of emotional progress since I got out here. We are now at the stage where she is more looking forward to getting her ex-fiancees possessions out of the house. I figure that is a good sign that she is moving from shock and sadness to anger and…

Anyone want to check in? :-) Surely our week was not so bad? Here's mine. Exercise Minutes: 244 - Buff Personal Goal: None "The Tortoise and the Hare" (RMC): Tortoise - I got in a lot more slow moving exercise this week. Mowing the lawn and hiking again. Days logged in: 0, Consistently logging in is not my strongest suit.

This week I will go for Tortoise just try to up my exercise as much as possible.

Hey 30s! Where has everyone gone? Admit it you are sitting on the couch watching the Olympics... :-) I have been quite out of touch lately. My best friend called me last Sunday to tell me that her husband had suddenly left her. So I got on a plane to spend some time with her and help her sort out what to do. I am going to…

Sorry that took so long to update! I am going to try to get to the gym more (not hard since I only went once last week). Also I would like to eat in for the rest of the week as my food goal. Sara Grace

Hi! My Fitbit arrived today! Oh what fun! I am really impressed with how small it is. I just stuck it in my bra and then forgot about it. I am excited to see how many steps I take. Basically, I just bought the world's fanciest pedometer. Emma - Does MFP automatically adjust your daily calories? I linked the two accounts.…

Yay, another Fitbit user! Mine should arrive in the mail tomorrow. I do love gadgets!

Look I can post at 5:30 my time and someone might actually see it! Yippie!! So operation step up my game is underway. A friend asked me to go to the gym tonight. Gawd I really wanted to say no. I was racking my brain trying to come up with an excuse. Then I realized that gut reaction (the "run and hide" one) probably meant…
