  • You've got this! You are doing so amazing post-surgery!
  • The Champions List is those who continue trying and don't give up. With practice like that eventually a Winners Circle is inevitable. Plus it has a proven track record of better health results than giving up.
  • December 30 ✅✅✅ 7 pass days used Today's exercise was stretching, balance & mobility...or maybe I should just call it yoga? 😁 @mshawski while people can criticize almost any dietary advice, that nutritionist seems like a quack with some agenda to me. Best case she just was never going to be a successful nutritionist for…
  • @Mrs_Hoffer - The China Study is an excellent book, it was a regular point of reference for me back in 2007/2008 since the entire content was based on solid, reviewed research with references to the research sources themselves. I imagine it has been updated since then, but my guess is that was foundational to what T. Colin…
  • @ashleycarole86 you are absolutely amazing and that milestone is very worthy of celebrating! That is a fantastic achievement and I am so happy for you! I may also be jealous because I've never done it, but have tried! 🤪 (JK, no jealousy, I am PROUD of you)!
  • Hello everyone! My name is Chris, hailing from Kansas, USA. My health journey started in 2007 with a focus on reigning in cholesterol and diabetes based on whatever the science at that time showed most promising results for those conditions, which led me to adopting a whole foods plant based diet. I was a bit "too"…
  • December 29 ✅✅✅ 7 pass days used Today's exercise was a core isometrics routine. Restlessness is in full force and chaos has been cranked to 11 here. I am looking forward to January 5th when everyone's routine is back in place. That is now only 1 week away! 👏👏👏
  • When I followed the link to the Run the World group it looked like the same as 2021, and showing 2021 data. Is it just the same group rolling over into next year? ETA - I won't have much mileage in 2022 but any I do get I am happy to add.
  • A lot of people are establishing fitness and weight loss goals this time of year. This challenge is hands down one of the best, if not the best way to help you on your 2022 goals. It's a simple check-in process taking just a minute or two to post. And therein lies the real magic. As long as you keep checking in, whether it…
  • December 28 ✅✅✅ 7 pass days used
  • How embarrassing! ☺️ I completely forgot to post a topic today! Is it possible to blame it on excessive pass days? To be fair, all I was going to do was remind people that we are ALMOST THERE! Only 3 days remain in December, and for that matter 2021! Let's wrap up this year TOGETHER! With that in mind, what…
  • December 27 ✅✅✅ 7 pass days used While I didn't get any formal exercise in, the kids kept me active enough that I'm counting it as a yes. For 2022 my goal is to establish healthy eating habits without the carb restrictions of clean keto which I relied upon in 2021. It was very successful for me, but I never intended to do…
  • Pass day #7. 🤷 Thanks @mshawski @ForLangston @snowshoe072 @ashleycarole86 @biketheworld for the b-day wishes.
  • That sounds too much like the form plantar fasciitis first started appearing for me back in 2014, and again in 2016. You should rest it and maybe get it checked to confirm.
  • It turned into a very good day today. It was a pass day (#6), however, but that's not what I meant by it being a good day. Tomorrow I will have officially made it to 50, and in fairly good health. The version of me who started a "diet" 15 years ago was worried (rightfully so) that I wouldn't make it to 50 based on…
  • December 24 Pass day describes it quite succinctly 😁
  • 5 star topic today! I honestly would not be more than a mindless blob without mindfulness. Now if only I was perfect at it...I need 100% at all times without exception otherwise I still crack from time to time. Still feels like a very long way to go. Granted, I did not seek out mindfulness like you did, it was more thrust…
  • Love your description about the attack of the delicious pizza @Mama530 congrats on logging it all to account for it and to most importantly just move on! @BMcC9 some things just can't be measured, thus why we self report a yes/no, excellent reporting as always! Great day on the UAC front @ideas2 hope the family drama…
  • Agreed that something worth being discussed, yet will likely be ignored (more properly "denied") is long distance running as an enabler for eating disorders. There are countless "groups" celebrating eating pizza, ice cream, cookies, you name it, because people "ran for them". That in and of itself can be perfectly…
  • I'm afraid I have no trainer or program recommendations, but I would suggest adding in a variety of core isometric holds to develop your entire core, without that as a base no amount of balance and flexibility training will take you very far until such training builds that strength second-hand. I suggest planks on all…
  • December 23 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used Today's exercise was an upper body strength routine I wish you all joyful times in the coming days.
  • Hope you have a great time with the family @BMcC9 Congrats on 3xYes days @TerriRichardson112 @SummerSkier @yrc_pr @victorious55 Sure hope you beat that storm @jamcnewman You're doing great @taurie hope you continue to have a good time! Hope you get some more food choices @mshawski Take care @snowshoe072 I hope it's all…
  • I feel that many (most?) who have to struggle with mental health wind up in a longer battle than they probably anticipated going in, with many parallels to those who struggle with physical health. It may not be a short term "fix it" plan that gets you "normal" again and then things just move along perfectly after that with…
  • Success and failure are two sides of the same coin when practicing habits we wish to improve upon. Consider the following... Borrowing from the @SummerSkier marble jar idea, while some may think of one set of marbles as "bad" and another "good", which of those marbles taught you the most and resulted in higher levels of…
  • December 22 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used Today's exercise was a core isometrics routine.
  • Re: podcast topic I think anything done in excess or to extremes is either due to incredibly special ability, or for reasons of a mental nature. Otherwise it makes no sense to go to such excess/extremes. Whether it is an unhealthy or not is debatable and varies from person to person. If you do not possess the special…
  • December 21 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used Today's exercise was a mix of opportunities I took which I am pretty sure added up over 20 minutes. There was taking the 5 flights of stairs to a doctor appointment (also serves to test new treatment progress with my plantar fasciitis), and three separate periods of working with weights. My…

  • For everyone struggling, or feeling like quitting, or wondering if/when to start again... THIS is when it counts! THESE are the moments you want to do everything you can! You don't have to succeed. You only have to try. If you do that, just think how much easier it will be to succeed during simpler times.
  • December 19 ✅✅✅ 4 pass days used Sunday = done! Onward!
