We are walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and some do other exercise. We set goals and keep track by miles. You can set your goal for any amount, count your miles any way you wish. The goal is consistency with exercise.
We started Jan. 20, 2003 on the WW Challenge Central Board as "250 Miles by June 1" & we've done 42 five-month walking challenges, including the one we finished Dec 1, 2020. You can find us on wwmessageboard.freeforums.net at wwmessageboard.freeforums.net/board/12/challenges
The group challenge is to average about 2 miles a day, 13 miles a week, or 50 miles a month; if you do it, in 5 months you will have walked 250 miles, and if you have stuck with the challenge and a healthy eating program for that 5 months, you will see wonderful changes in your health, fitness, and size!
Some people will finish well before the target date and will go for more or another 250 miles, but others will go at a slower pace, and new members will join along the way, so each member is welcome to set her/his own personal goal and target date. The new group challenge which started Dec 1, 2020, is "250 Miles by May 1, 2021."
You are welcome to join us at any time.

Good Morning Challengers!
Yesterday I did all 6 of my main HHs, stayed in my 💚 zone of pts.
My “KISS” HHs (Keep it Simple and Specific) - Avoid salted snacks: 💚 - JGTB: 💚
2 microhabits: - “50 pushaways”: 💚 - “No seconds with snack”: 💚
Habit change: It’s a process - mind, body, emotions, spirit. It takes time and repetition. For me, Prayer + Practice + Patience + Perseverance = Progress
Yesterday we walked 2.2 mi and got Sunday breakfast takeout. DD1, DSIL and DGDs came over for belated Christmas and DGD1 bday. It was so great to see them! We stayed out on the deck with masks and kept distance.
Be well and take care, for ourselves, and for each other.

MONDAY! FEBRUARY!
Hard to believe January is over, at least it's hard for me to believe. February is my least favorite month, but DH's birthday is later in February AND we have a short actual trip planned! We are heading back to Yellowstone to get some skiing in. We've been there several times in winter, but we always stayed near Old Faithful. This year, though, that lodge is closed because it's too far to a hospital in case someone with COVID needs it. We'll stay up north, in Mammoth Hot Springs, and explore that part of the park. Not looking forward to the flights and the "to-go" dining, but I am looking forward to our outdoor time!
AMY -- hope you get the OK for Meals on Wheels!
CAIT -- I know you enjoyed the visit with your family! WTG on the loss and the better days.
I ended my quarantine yesterday, and it felt good to get back in the pool for water aerobics today (3 miles), and I just finished stretching.

Good Morning!!
My post closing January most not have posted. I had started a new thread for February. We will just use this one.
I had a nice weekend. I added 8 miles Fri-Sun. Yesterday we went to Church then stayed home and due the rest of the day due to snow. I added 3 miles of a DVD yesterday. Worked from home the office was actually opened for part of the day despite the weather. I worked the whole day due to being at home.
We got more snow so the office is not opening til 10. I work at the office today.
Carol: I am sure you were glad to get back to your water aerobics.
Cait: Great job on your good day. Glad you were able to spend time with family.
Waving to all. Happy walking!!

Good Morning Challengers!
Yesterday I did all 6 of my main HHs, stayed in my 💚 zone of pts, for a blue dot day 🔵, Healthy Eating Zone, in my WW app. I had a bit of a struggle in the late evening as bedtime approached, but that’s nothing new, and I have tools to deal with it.

GROUNDHOG'S DAY!
Well, looking out the window to a snow-covered yard, I can believe we'll have six more weeks of winter!
KELLY -- it's so frustrating when a post doesn't post! Good job walking outside, but I hear you about the wind! Sometimes I plan my walk to walk against the wind first so my walk home isn't miserable. Kind of like "never start a hike going downhill!" I hope your work keeps going ok.
CAIT -- Excellent job on your HHs and other habits!
I stretched this morning and just returned from a 2-mile neighborhood walk.

Good Morning,
I had a good day yesterday. 2 miles with Gina B and 1 mile of stepping in place to get the rest of my steps. Travel too and from work wasn't too bad. On the way home there was some drifting of snow cover on some of the rural roads.
I like the balance of working 1/2 from home and 1/2 at the office. Definitely less distractions at home. My office space at work is shared some days with 3 others. The room also has lockers for the staff that don't have a private desk area. So lots if interruptions with them coming in and out during the day or clinical staff looking for one of the CRNPs.
Cait: Good job on your walk and a good day. Woohoo!!
Carol: Good job with your walk. I usually head the same way with my walk. It is a rural road so no sidewalks and there is really no shoulder on most of the road. I head down the road to the new development they are building and return. The last part of the walk is a hill and was a challenge in the bitter cold with wind.
Waving to all. Happy Walking.

Good Morning Dimers!
Yesterday I did all 6 of my main HHs, stayed in my 💚 zone of pts, 🔵 Healthy Eating Zone. Aiming to stay on the straight and narrow - Wed has been one of my problem days. Also the longer I’m “off” the junk food the easier it gets.

I faxed the Dr. letter to Hannah the social worker at my insurance company who will decide along with Martina the nuse. I would love to see if the3y ignore the letter now. The doctor said I did not have the mental or cognitive ability to have the oven and stove plugged in. The doctor said the microwave is not sufficient.

Good Morning Dimers!
Yesterday I did all 6 of my main HHs, stayed in my 💚 zone of pts, 🔵 Healthy Eating Zone. I had a little tussle with urges right before bedtime but worked through it. One day at a time.
My “KISS” HHs (Keep it Simple and Specific) - Avoid salted snacks: 💚 - JGTB: 💚
2 microhabits: - “50 pushaways”: 💚 - “No seconds with snack”: 💚
Yesterday we walked 2.3 mi and I did my floor PT exercises. Looking back at my tracker I was surprised to see I had not done it as often as I thought. My aim is at least twice a week.
KELLY - GFY 8 mi Fri-Sun, 3 mi DVD Mon, 2 mi Gina B Tues, and 3 mi Wed. Yes I’ve notice also I can concentrate better WFH without noise, other conversations around me, and people bustling around, etc.
AMY - I hope your cooking equipment issues get resolved.
CAROL - Wow enjoy the Yellowstone trip and skiing! Glad you’re “free” and got back to water aerobics. Good work with the stretching. Yes - at least 6 wks more of winter! GFY 2 mi walk and stretching Mon
Be well and take care, for ourselves, and for each other.

THURSDAY!
Everyone seems to be doing well!👏👏👏
KELLY - I can understand why you like the 50-50 work arrangement. Sounds like a good fit for you. Good job on your good days!
AMY — sounds like you’re headed for Meals on Wheels😋. Seems like a good fit for you.
CAIT — you’re on a roll with your good days; yay, you!
I thought about walking today, but it’s bitterly cold, so I wimped out. We’re headed for the deep freeze!🥶
I went to water aerobics yesterday (3), and I stretched today.

Martina did not speak to doctor but she said no. I called her supervisor and asked she be removed from my team. She gets me so upset she is not for my health. I hope her supervisor does that, Dr, galosh left a message for her on her phone. But Maartina did not answer. I told the supervisor that Martina doesn't listen to my doctors. I wonder if that is why Martina did not call Dr. Ga.lusha. I have 80 dollars for the month for groceries. Our state legislature ended the expanded food share by eliminating the governors mask mandate and e3xpanded food share./ The great governor started a another mask mandate stats his response.
