Thanks for the support. Just to close this out: Day 23: 12/19/2017 Steps: 13,136 Day 24: 12/20/2017 Steps: 9,795 Day 25: 12/21/2017 Steps: 11,223 Day 26: 12/22/2017 Steps: 13,377 Day 27: 12/23/2017 Steps: 7,975 Day 28: 12/24/2017 Steps: 7,588 So of all my goals, I successfully completed exactly zero. I did probably get out for walks more than I would have without the challenge. I also got back to deadlifting some, which is good, and didn't hurt too much. But I need to learn consistency in all things. The food part went off the rails early, as the holidays buildup early, and food is a major part. An unrealistic goal given the timing.

Camping in the cold is the best! Most likely there's no one else in the woods. And it's a reason for a big campfire. Your food might freeze, but your beer stays cold. It was deer/gun season, so it was a little discomforting to hear shots while in your tent. Fortunately this time there was no snow, so finding wood was easy.

Winter Camping. Things went of the rails for a few days. Ate lots. Drank lots. Slept in the cold. Sat around the fire. Spent a lot of energy finding firewood. Day 12: 12/8/2017 Steps: 12296 Day 13: 12/9/2017 Steps: 7111 Went on a hike, not very long I guess. Day 14: 12/10/2017 Steps: 6857 Got Back from Camping and stopped counting calories. Also sleeping on the ground got my back to acting up, giving me an excuse to miss workouts. Although I shouldn't have, I was just lazy. Day 15: 12/11/2017 Steps: 9774 Day 16: 12/12/2017 Steps: 10079 Day 17: 12/13/2017 Steps: 4880 Day 18: 12/14/2017 Steps: 12218 Day 19: 12/15/2017 Steps: 11343 Day 20: 12/16/2017 Steps: 5236 Day 21: 12/17/2017 Steps: 6802 531 Bench Workout So haven't done yoga in a while. Haven't made it onto the bike trainer.

Day 12: 12/7/2017 Steps: 9340 Calories: 2000 Couldn't get away at work for my lunch walk. Still did ok. Getting ready for some weekend winter camping.

Day 10: 12/5/2017 Steps: 11835 Calories: 2000 Wt. 236.4 Another day I should have lifted or done something, but decided not to. Not feeling great and having a super frustrating time at work. This challenge is not going well for the exercise portion. I was too ambitious with what my schedule would allow, then some unexepected problems, and it's completely off the rails. I am committed to still tracking and logging everything.

Day 10: 12/5/2017 Steps: 11027 Calories: 1900 Should have lifted, but decided not too. Still feeling sick and dealing with events which I can't seem to get away from.

Day 9: 12/4/2017 Steps: 10755 Calories: 1700 Tough day. Still recovering from a cold and other emotionally fatiguing events. Went to bed early and didn't over eat. So a great success.

Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't met all of my goals for the first week, but I'm trying. Logging it in the forum further encourages me, even when I come up short. 90% is better than 0%.
