Hellooo everyone. I was stopping by to apologise for being MIA. I have been away! But it looks like @iliciag7781 has been holding down the thread alone! 🙈 So, I've done over 30 minutes activity every day since I last checked in here. However, last Friday it was so disjointed from travelling, rather than a proper exercise…

35 minutes walking done today! Traveling tomorrow but I plan to fit my 30 minutes in!

Hey everyone! Good to see your achievements on this thread. Just checking in: 38 minutes walking yesterday, 44 today. I've been lucky finding passable places to walk between rainfall.

Welcome, newcomers! 28 minutes walking and 5 minutes of yoga today. 10/10 so far! There's severe weather here so I doubt I'll manage activity outdoors tomorrow! Anyone else in the UK on this thread dealing with the same thing?

I did a 50 minute walk with inclines today.

Never mind, it happens. 8/9 is better than 0/0 because there was no goal to start with! Great going!

Nice going!

Welcome!

Do what works best for you. As long as it feels like a stretch rather than putting you into panic or overwhelm. What feels good to you? I don't know how long you've been doing that particular job, but if you're finding it a challenge to just keep up with that level of activity it's worth considering building it up…

Hi, @saundraxo. Obviously I can't speak for Karen but, what would be a challenge for you? If you normally find it difficult to do 30 minutes of activity on your off days then you might feel that is enough of a challenge, without adding an extra 30 minutes activity goal to your work day.

I did 1 hour 43 minutes walking on Thursday, but there's been flashflooding here so it wasn't feasible to go walking yesterday. I did 30 minutes of yoga instead. Today I did 29 minutes of walking (so close) and 2 minutes strength building by carrying 2 litre bottles around the house! 😂 💪😎

Way to go!

Well done! It's so great that you have the support of your employers with designated paths. While it's fantastic that you're trying to log everything, I'm curious what you mean by the measurements being off. How are you measuring? I only ask because, yes, a little underestimating here and there is fine, but if it's a daily…

Hi there, @JKendrick0381. Self-compassion and rebuilding my levels of self-worth were so important before starting and during my slimming journey. They are of course just as important now I am fitter and a healthy weight, but I agree wholeheartedly. Feel free to add me if you wish.

Got my activity in today too. Where's everyone else at?!

Nice work!

Didn't have time to hit my full quota while walking today (28 minutes), so did some yoga to make up for it. I was intending to reintroduce yoga to my routine anyway so this was a great opportunity to do so! How's everyone else doing? PS. In case you didn't know, you can add this thread to 'favourites' with the star 🌟 icon…

Great attitude to have. That's why it's called a challenge. It's ok! :)

Hello to all the new joiners of this challenge! Today I got absolutely soaked on my walk, as the heavens opened moments after I stepped out. I decided to enjoy it anyway, though! 4/4

How was Zumba today?

On today's walk...

Days 1&2 completed! I find weekends easier though.

I'm in! Although I exercise, recently I've had migraines caused by chronic pain issues that have meant I haven't moved every day of the week. Definitely up for this!

A few pounds sometimes, for sure.

You are strong, you can do this!

It sounds like you've been through a really tough time so remember to be kind to yourself. We all have our ways of coping and you were doing the best you could. Here's to new beginnings!

It takes guts to start again, well done! You can do it! I've been consistent for around 3 years now, but had many failed attempts before that. Feel free to add me.

Welcome!

Welcome back! Feel free to add me.
