Hello! It's Labor Day and students everywhere are getting ready to go back to school if they haven't already. Even if we ourselves aren't going back to school, somehow it feels like the start of something. Let's take advantage of that feeling of a clean slate with a get back to basics challenge. Remember the 8 healthy guidelines? Me neither, so I looked them up: at least 5 fruits&veggies, 2 servings healthy oils, choose whole grain whenever possible, 2-3 servings dairy, get enough protein by choosing at least a serving or two of lean proteins, limit added sugar or alcohol, drink at least 6 8oz servings of water, and take a daily vitamin-mineral supplement if needed. And let's seal the deal by keeping a daily journal and tracking these guidelines as well as our food choices! With each other's support, we got this!!

WELCOME EVERYONE anytime and yes you can walk/jog/run or combo, cycling, spinning, swimming, aerobic classes, elliptical machine, yoga, pilates, strength train and core work too!

Each week you set and post your own attainable mileage/minutes goal and strive to achieve it. Saturday thru Friday is our fitness week with Saturday morning weigh-ins (WI). WIs are encouraged but optional. There is no judgement here!

This challenge runs from Labor Day thru October 1.

Good morning

Well I didn't go on the trip and I have to say I'm glad I decided not to go. My friend is boarding up her windows today and leaving tomorrow. She stayed last year when the hurricane hit and she said never again. This looks to be a really big one. There is always another time.

Debbie, did you go to the gym yesterday?

Waving to Mo and Amy

I need to get back on track today with my steps and tracking.

Brenda, thanks for starting us today!

Brenda, I've been thinking about you, I'm both sorry but glad you didn't go to Florida. And I'm glad your friend is leaving. The last I checked, the hurricane had been upgraded to a category 5! Even if the hurricane ends up missing Florida altogether, there's bound to be heavy rainfall and winds.

Yes, I did make it to the gym yesterday, hurray! I walked 20 minutes on the TM, then did arm and leg weight machines and ended with a spinning class! It's been awhile since I've had a serious workout and it felt pretty good! And thanks to you Brenda, I have started journaling. I'm 2 for 2 and going to see how long I can keep the streak going!

Brenda, will you be meeting you C25K pal for some training on the towpath today? Do you all have an event in mind?

Since I did weights yesterday I will focus on walking today -at a lake depending on the weather, or at the gym or at home. I had meant to go to the gym this morning for the 5:45am spinning class but apparently I reached over and turned off the alarm this morning. That kinda bums me out but for me to sleep through an alarm is really unusual, so I think I must have really needed the sleep!
