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

Amy, thanks for the start. Good luck with the move!

Debbie, Maddie is doing great. I had her at the Vet again yesterday due to her allegories. Ugh this sweet pound puppy has cost me so much $ ;-) But I lover her.

Mo, years ago I was so faithful about tracking. I just can't seem to make it click again.

I was way out of control with my eating yesterday. Started with Arbys and what I thought was a good choice (turkey wrap with swiss cheese). That is it! When I checked the points it was 16 ouch. Then I went down hill after that.

Good morning! Thanks for starting us Amy!

Amy, I hope you find the diet that works for both your weight loss and your gerd! I'm surprised that it's okay to drink diet soda with gerd?

Mo, glad you're have a good work regardless of the journaling. WTG on the lunchtime walks!

I am 4 for 4 with tracking this week! I also used to be really good about tracking but that around 5-6 years ago, ouch! Brenda, I thank you, you good me going with journaling this week!

Brenda, you're a good hearted person, rescuing your pricey but sweet doggie! Surely there is a special place in heaven for those of us that rescue critters?

I blew it this morning, missed the 5:45am spinning class. But the day is young and there's still many hours left in the day to get some exercise in! Lucky for me yesterday, Susan talked/cajolled me into going for an evening walk, which turned out to be about 3.5 - 4 miles! Now I have to go for another walk today! I may try to hit the gym during lunch for weight lifting.
