Let's Get Moving 2018

[JACKIE1-25-15]

It is a New Year.  To eliminate difficulty finding where to comment due to the length of the last blog, I thought I would start a new page to have a fresh start.  New Year, Fresh Ideas,New Goals ,Reboot, Recharge.  Hopefully New Participants  For those who are able to, (some members are going through medical issues and pending surgeries) I think it is time to focus and get back to our challenges. 

'The original idea was to "get moving" at least 4 times a week, staying accountable to each other.  Post your accomplishments in the comments.   Any activity counts, as long as you get off your butt and get your heart pumping.  Who knows, maybe we'll lose a little weight or a couple of inches in the meantime.  I am doing a shout out to those who previously participated. If I missed someone please add their name.  There were a lot of comments to go  through to come up with this list.   We had a lot of fun and learned a lot from each other with over 2519 comments.

Thanks!  That sound much more doable and I might actually stick with that!

Hello fellow movers!  I had a very busy weekend!  I trained on Friday and focused on arms and legs.  My triceps are still sore from Friday!  I lifted on Saturday morning and hit a new PR by deadlifting 225lbs!  My goals was to hit 215 by the end of February so I crushed that goal!  I got to the gym four times last week and plan to do the same this week!

I weighed in at WW Sunday and lost another 2.8 lbs.  My total since the beginning of this year is now 11.8 lbs.  I will admit, I am not following the WW Freestyle plan.  It wasn't working for me so I went back to counting calories and macro nutrients and do the old smart points.  It seems to be working well so that is what I will stick with!

Keep up the great work movers!

Last night i made egg salad for dinner and i ACTUALLY measured out the mayo!  I have NEVER in my life measured, especially mayo because i LOVE it!  LOL.

[JACKIE1-25-15]

I measure everything, my eye measurements have become very accurate.  I think it is from all the years of cooking,  I use a light mayo, saves on the calories.  I made my salad haven't eaten it yet.  Boiled egg tuna tomato on salad mix. with lite balsamic dressing. finish with toast hot tea.

Sounds good.  I had a turkey sandwich, salad and a Diet Coke.  I know, I know.  I need to break the Diet Coke addiction.  I'm working on it.  I am down to 1 a day rather than 3.

Happy Hump Day. Challenge day 2 is complete. Last night I didn’t get to the gym until after 7pm.  I managed my time better today and got in there around 1:30. It was so empty and quiet...just like I like it.

Thirty minutes of cardio then arms, back and core.

You’re on fire Kristen! Be sure to include a rest day so your muscles can heal.
