Got sick, really sick. Still have a heavy cough. Going to have to hit the re-do button as soon as I shake this.

Got through the first meal out unscathed. Tracking going well and I have a workout planned for tomorrow morning. So far, no stress eating either. I think I’m keeping myself busy enough so that helps. Also don’t have binge-type foods around.

Totally forgot when I set up this challenge that I had an Anime Convention to go to. We didn't cosplay this year so, it was not on my radar like it had been past years. So, I didn't get in anymore workouts but I did okay with tracking. Sunday was a complete rest day. I napped twice and order delivery. I must have needed it because I still got 8 hours of sleep last night even with all the naps. My Week One Recap: 2 out of 3 Dancing workouts B- for Tracking Weight within half a pound of goal ..... Week 2 Goals/Plans Worked out this morning to make sure I started the week off right. I did planks, curls, deep squats, wall sits and lunges. Finished with hip stretches. I kept the music quiet today since I wasn't up for bouncing around. Wanted to be more focused on form. I have two planned meals out of the house this week. I've been doing pretty good with eating out. If I want to indulge I just focus on lean protein and vegetables throughout the day and then let myself have what I want. Also have a stressful medical test this Friday. I'm going to monitor my emotions and make a real effort not to stress eat the day before.

Hi! Great job with the meditation! 10 days in a row makes me think you've turned it into a habit.

Maybe next month we can do a burpee Accountability challenge? I bet you were just as thrilled! That is fantastic! Good Job Rocco!!!

My Week 1 Days 1-3 Dancing: Two (2) fun workouts so far. I just danced and did cardio kickboxing one day and then the second day started on the indoor bike but I decided to do some bodyweight work and dance in between sets. Tracking: Much better. I've made a good grocery list for the rest of the week and have some healthy snack options already prepared. That always makes it easier. I got on the scale today because I could tell that the water weight was gone. I'm down 1.5 pounds just from getting the sugar back under control. Honestly, I feel like I'll be back to my goal weight by next week. I'll be really proud of myself if I can get back on track so quickly because I really went off the rails for 2 weeks.

Thank you! I fell in love with the spirals right away.

@ElizeElvinFoxRyder 2 new rings from the Irish Festival. Couldn’t help myself. And look, I still have decent fingernails!

Starting late! I wasn’t sure I wanted to do one because of the timing of other things in my life. Then one of those “things”, the Irish Festival, gave me inspiration. I was dancing and bouncing around while watching some of my favorite Irish a Fest bands and my friend mentioned what a great workout we were getting. I think we say that to each other every year, but I never put the thought to good use. So this challenge is about music and dance. I am going to use music that motivates me to move and then just go with it. I may dance, do jumping jacks, pushups, etc. Whatever I’m inspired to do I will do for my exercise that week. I got sloppy with my food during the festival and never and never got back on track. So I’m also going to monitor my food with my weight watchers app. I want to be down 3 pounds by the end of the challenge. I may add a weekly adulting challenge here and there, but that is basically it for the next 4 weeks.

Got sick. About halfway through my shift at work I felt it coming on. Finished my day then I was down for the rest of the weekend. Last night I was able to eat again, which was lovely. So, not the ending I wanted but overall I’m happy with the challenge. Don’t know if I’ll do the next challenge. I need to decide if this format still provides the extra push I’m looking for. If I do decide to join the next one I know it will be late since I have a big family weekend coming up. I’ll figure it out next week. Best if luck to everyone one in their next endeavor!

Tracking: Strict tracking is becoming mindful eating. I’m not sure why but I feel like I’m managing it well. I’ve been eating freely, weighing myself to stay accountable and tracking a couple days a week for further accountability. Exercise 3x a week: 1 decent workout. Going to ride my bike today. Medicine/Supplements: Good here. Missed one day. Stop biting my nails: Fantastic! Floor sitting: Meh. I’m doing okay but let this slip. Working on it as I type this. Mind Palace: Pretty good here. When I shelve books or straighten up I’m trying to make a mental picture of where certain subjects are located. Also took some pictures so I can remind myself what call number goes with the topic I’m working on.

Now I get it... I've been stressed about my daughter's health. Won't go into specifics because she is an adult and I don't want to share her story. But, it all came to the surface yesterday and I ended up binge-eating like it was my job. Even though eating to cope with stress is not a habit I want to indulge I also knew exactly what I was doing and just let it go. I feel SO much better today and ready to shake off the stress and just get on with things.

Week 3 Day 3-5 Strict Tracking: Shark Week. I always give myself a day or two off when it comes to food. Went back to tracking yesterday. Exercise 3x a week: DH and I traded in our fancy, but oldish, bikes for new ones. Took a ride today. Medicine/Supplements: Good. Stop biting my nails: Good. Floor sitting: Lots! Mind Palace: Not much. I lost momentum on this. I’ll look to finish strong week 4.
