Chats, Challenges & Laughs 2nd home

[Cele21]

For all my Chats, Challenges & Laughs peeps! Since we can't get on the threads I thought I would start a discussion area for us. We may not be able to keep track of points standings easily but we can still talk.

I miss you!

Snow shoeing LOVE IT!!! That is awesome!!! Is it hunting season? Being in the woods in the snow is a favorite thing for me. Speaking of snow, look at my grandson hamming it up during our last snow:

Celeste - I gotcha on the temporary home business. I just hope we can all stay together.

To CJ ==>> We bought snow shoes for the kids , But I rather be on X-country skiis

love seeing all the photos!  FaceBook would be fine with me.  We don't have any snow where I live...but when I lived in Rochester, NY we did cross-country skiing and snow shoeing.  Yo can't beat a clear cold morning with fresh snow and the perfect ski wax.

I just realized that today marks 3 years with my fitbit.

CJ - To quote my fitbit leader "it's not a race". Everyone makes changes at their own pace. She recently told us about an older gentlman in one of her other groups who lost 65 pounds on weight watchers... over the course of 7 years! Based on my 2017 results, I'm on a similar pace, but I'm also looking at ways to accelerate the pace.

Loving all the pictures! I've never been on snow shoes. I did a little bit of cross country skiing when I was in college and really enjoyed it. If I still lived where I grew up, I'd have more of an opportunity to do both.

I'm not on Facebook but if the majority want to go there, I guess I'll have to take a crash course...

5 points for Monday. 

Since we’re now a smaller group than when teams were set up and our posting is all in one place, I’ll try to compile points and list the leaders once a week. 

A private group is fine with me but you’ve probably noticed that I’m not tech savvy. 

I also love the pictures.

5 points for Monday and I already have a 35 minute cardio workout under my belt for today.

Having to track my nutrition for the Biggest Winner competition that I am part of at work will hopefully help turn that into a more consistent habit for me. After just over a week, It's already getting me thinking about what changes I need to make. Of course thinking about them and actually making them are two very different things.

Monday - 3 pts

I can't remember the 5 (rarely hit it) - Logging, Posting, Water, ____________?______________?

I think there's 30 minutes exercise ... oh, (hit head) steps!

Hmmm, guess I'll have to dust off my fitbit.

I used to love X-country skiing, but as I gained weight, my high arches did me in.  Right now with my weight, I have to have longer snowshoes.  I'm so excited to get down to 'little shoes' by next winter.  No, Sherry, it's not hunting season - I just grabbed warm LOL  It was in through woods and some open areas.  We are renting 23 acres so there's a lot of ground to explore.  And, a good work out trying to work around the fallen trees, new growth, etc.

[CJ_Here]

PS - Your grandson is adorable!  This year, everyone is enjoying snow.

Also, I need to look around.  I am not a 'jogger' - not sure where that comes from.

[ElaineJ27]

Points: Posting, tracking food, 64 Oz water, step goal met, and 30 minutes of exercise.
Saturday is Step Saturday with a higher step goal instead of 30 minutes; Sunday challenge (or freebie) instead of 30 minutes.

CJ - I believe the "Jogger" status is tied to the number of times you've posted. Many of us who have just a few more posts than you are "Recovery Runners" and I noticed a few with even more posts are "Striders".  The only control we have over that label is how often we post. Quite honestly I could care less about that sort of thing, but... (I best keep the rest of my thoughts to myself)!

Loving all the interaction going on here - and the pictures!

@MargaretG139 - I never pay attention to the status titles. I think they are just fluff to make you feel better about posting often. I would rather they put their effort into fixing the group problem - it's across all groups and I'm surprised that they haven't even addressed it with an announcement that they are aware of it.

Lent starts tomorrow and I think I'm going to take it as an opportunity to work on my consistency across several areas starting with the continued decluttering/cleaning of my house. If I follow that, I should be moving more which will in turn increase my steps and help with decluttering more weight. 

February 4th was my 4 year anniversary with Fitbit and I totally missed it. And my faithful (original) Flex carries on!
