Min Challenge 2 - Step Count Day Three Day Three Steps: 8,904 Miles: 4.10 Calories: 399 Today the steps were short my goal, had a bad day at work and coming home to an angry husband I did not focus on making my steps. After dinner laid in bed with the dogs and watched a movie before bed.

Long term is the plan, I use a workout program that has a modifier, so if I cannot complete a move in total I modify it. I track my progress by how much or little I have to use the modified pose. Once I can complete the work out in its entirely without a modifier I move to the next level. I always feel insecure with a new work out program, it is one of the mental roadblocks I had to overcome. Getting up off the couch and not giving up when you do means the world!

I think modifying the goals is the way to go. I have crapped out on challenges and always felt bad about it. But I have found that turning to the people I have met on NF has helped with many things. I wish you a better ending to your week. I don't know all of the facts, but I say go for Calf!

Now I want some kangaroo burgers!

Your week one looked great! Keep up the good work!!!

Poke....just wondering how you are doing?

Keeping it old school with Wend GIF. Hope everyone is having a good Week Two!

Week Two Day One Started the day with tea with organic half/half and truvia. Had shakes during the day with peanuts and almonds for a snack. For dinner there was leftover smoked ham from Father's Day. I drank 66 ounces of water and got my photo blog done. My step log is below no other exercise today, unless you count cleaning the spare bed room and office for company working out. Steps: 11,545 Miles: 5.30 Calories: 527

Good question, hubby is working late tonight so I plan on CT-50 and a pilates core workout tonight, cardo on Wend with some Zombies Run, and something strength-wise on Friday or Sunday. Darkfoxx will be making a personal appearance Friday night - Sunday morning at my house, so at least eating will be better this weekend versus last.

Love the pic! I had to run to the store myself last night and stock up on some frozen veggies and meat for the week. Camping trip looked amazing!

OMG...way to channel darkfoxx, she has been giving me hell over my veggie intake for close to 20 years. I have veggies on the menu the rest of the week. I was running low on steamer bags and ran out to get some last night!

I'm going to try and reach my step goal every day this week (10,000 steps). This will be in additional on my regular workouts. To reach this I will have to make myself get up out of my chair at work and walk!

Hey Hiroro - I plan on seeing the new movie I also love Mark! I did not do any mini-challenges my first time. I think you are encouraged not to. I did not start min-challenges until number challenge three. I did not apply points until the start of my second challenge and then only allotted new points for finishing min-challenges. Not sure if that is the correct way to do it or not. I'm not great at applying points to accomplished goals. And I have not tried the BCAA so I'm not help here. I'm sure one of the other ladies that have been at this longer then myself might be better suited to answer your questions! Congrats on getting through week 1!!!!

Week One - Wrap Up Specific Goals Ø Continue to eat healthy. This has been working for me since I fell off the wagon. Since the garden will be coming in soon there are lots of fresh veggies in my future. (Did good until the weekend, I'm giving myself a C+, there is room from improvement) Ø Exercise!!! Chuck has found a new program that he wants to do, it is only 25 mins a day. I'm hoping with the hubby's push I will be more inclined to workout. Also, cover is off the pool so I would like to get in there and do more than floating and drinking. Shooting for at least three times a week, even though hubby wants to do five. (I walked two days and swam one, looking to gear this up in the coming week A) Life Side Quest Ø Complete my photo blog for the next six weeks without missing a day. I was able to keep up with this even though I let everything else lapse.(All done no missed days A+) Ø Also adding creative art with seashells. I have two glass containers that need to get completed and two bags of shells. By the end of this six weeks I would like to have both done do I have spring center pieces for my table. So this did not happen last challenge, but I really want to get these two things done before the end of the summer so they are staying. (Done got all shells in jars, I have pictures to post but need to get them from my phone to my computer A++) Overall not a bad week, need to whip my workouts into shape and get my weekends under control!

Week One Day Six and Seven So my weekend pretty much fell apart eating wise. On Saturday I made it all day and then went to Applebees and had a beer with dinner. On Sunday we hosted Father's Day dinner. Smoke ham with pineapple and cherries, mashed patatos, bread, corn on the cob and cake. I actually swam in the pool on Sat, enough to were my arms hurt when I was done and I was winded. Sunday I got into the pool but mostly floated with a five-year-old and did not do much actually swimming. Photo blog is current! I drank water, but I could not tell you how much and only took about half of my vitamins. Ugh I got to whip the weekends into shape!

Week One Day Four and Five Shakes during the day on both days. On day four I had corn beef with sticky rice and on day five I had boneless chicken breast in general tow sauce and blue cheese dressing. I took long walks after work both days my step log is below. Photo blog is current! I drank 60+ oz of water each day and took all my vitamins! Step Log Day Four: 10,433 steps, 5.0 miles 470 calories Step Log Day Five: 12,166 steps, 5.7 miles 539 calories

Week One Day Three Shakes during the day and Italian sausage with tomatoes and cheese for dinner. No workouts boo, I am doing something solo tonight if hubby has to work late again. I cannot wait on him any longer if I want to hit my three times a week goal. I have pictures of the shells in jars, I just have to get them from my phone and to my computer to post. Photo blog is current! I drank 60 oz of water and took all my vitamins! No formal exercise yesterday, but I did log 7,000+ steps!

Welcome to NF and our little group!

Vacation in my neck of the woods and time with me....CANNOT WAIT!

I'm in Team Genesis Prime with the same girls that support me every challenge!

A day late, but here is the Prime I grew up with!

Do we want to do another Team Genesis? I'm not sure how to start a team....or do we just want to support each other on our challenge threads?

I usually give myself a grade at the end of the week depending one percent complete per goal. I think that is what I'm going to keep for this challenge and think of something new for next challenge. Thanks for the encouragement!

Week One Days One and Two I have been stressing about posting what I'm eating because I know some people will not agree with my approach. But here it goes...I have been doing a modified fast. I have three protein shakes during the day and then a healthy dinner. Day one I had cabbage stakes and polish kielbasa. On day two I had grilled bone-in pork chops and steamed brussle sprouts. I drank 50+ ounces of water and had tea with organic half/half and truvia both days. No work outs yet, still trying to get settled after spending the weekend in GA. I did get the shells in the containers (pictures to follow). So thew creative part of my challenge is done and all I have to do is focus on workouts. A friend of mine posted on Facebook that they want to do the color run when it comes to Raleigh, so I told her I would join her team so I have an event/goal.
