Just a quick Sunday check-in post... Yesterday I was at a craft fair & shopping for 4 hours. I put 2 hours of leisurely walking into my tracker. That should more than account for any stopping I did.

I am going to a craft show & shopping today - ie lot's of walking! :smile: Yesterday I started out with that 10 minute bike ride at 90% heart rate. I don't think I'll do that again.

Six days to go until Thanksgiving! Let's all KICK IT UP A NOTCH in preparation for our big meal. It couldn't hurt to burn some extra calories ahead of time. If you got a few hundred extra each day between now and then, odds are you wouldn't have to stress or worry over what you put on your plate. In real life we just need…

Good morning! Where is the year going?! We are half way through NOVEMBER! Wow! Time sure does fly! Just think - when it comes time to make New Years Resolutions we won't have to say we will *start* a healthier lifestyle this year. We are already doing it. And, doing it well, I'd have to say from everyone's updates on their…

Happy Sunday! Did everyone remember to turn their clocks back? One extra hour to get our exercise in! Yippee!! So, yesterday I went to a horse show with the family. That was fun. But not much exercise involved - except walking from the car to the arena and back afterwards. So, since I suggested we do something fun and…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 3
It's the weekend! Can you try to UP your normal exercise for the next couple of days? Maybe throw in something that you don't normally do, or something less structured? You know, like playing football in the yard with the kids, going and walking around the zoo (that's my plan for tomorrow), dancing the night away... Give…

Thanksgiving Challenge - Fitness Check-In ~ Nov 2
Good morning everyone! Gosh, thanks so much for the words of encouragement on keeping this thread going. Some days I wondered how many people were getting frustrated seeing ANOTHER post from me for a check-in! I'm just guessing that a DAILY check in is a motivator for at least a few other people besides myself! Anyway,…
