Marching Our Way to a Healthy Lifestyle ~ March 2016 WISH Challenge

Rather than involve other people in my mess I'm going to be stepping away from the boards. You all are so amazing and I know you're going to rock your goals!!! Just keep with them and don't get down on yourselves! You guys have been a massive and amazing support with getting me on track. Thank you so so so much!! :love2::hug:

So someone needs to host April and make it star wars themed haha.

Oh, no!! Don't leave!!! Well, if it's absolutely what you need to do, I will support you, but I'm totally pitching a fit while I do it. :-(
 

Have you ever tried a dance-related workout? Have you ever taken dance classes?
Do you enjoy dancing for fun (outside of working out)? What’s your favorite style of dance?


Also, please join me in wishing a happy 41st birthday to one of our awesome participants for the month, @Dr Gunnie!

Happy Birthday @Dr Gunnie !

I took a dance class for my P.E. credit in college. I enjoyed it but I am pretty sure I was awful. Oh well. I do some dance video workouts from the comfort of my home. I'd consider taking a class sometime, but it would have to be for beginners :)
I've done some line dancing and I enjoy that. I've done a very little bit of swing with my friends and I'd love to do that again if I had a partner to enjoy it with.

I'm so sad to see this! But if you need to leave we understand. Come back when you can!
 
I lost .5 pound this week which is miraculous to say the least. I'm 62% to goal. I'm also ready to be back on plan! I think my body just needed to take a couple weeks and indulge a little. I didn't go crazy but I'm for sure ready to kick it up a notch and knock out the remaining 20-30 pounds I have left!
 
Yes I know when my kids were little and I was struggling with anxiety it is really easy to shut yourself in. My mum used to come and we would go to the shops together or take the kids to the park... but I didn't really have a lot of friends around for a few years as I moved a few hours away from where we had been living. It wasn't until they started school that I managed to make some new friends in our area. Even now over Christmas Break when I have several weeks off I can resort to hermit mode when I have in my head all of the these plans of things to do and get active but somehow it doesn't happen - its weird that I do find that now I need to get back to work to keep me up and out and in a routine. It is hard but if I can get there (most days that is) you can too, don't be too hard on yourself coping with anxiety and depression is a journey - a scary one sometimes but when you have good days remember that feeling. :flower1:

I know the feeling - I busted my butt saving and went into some debt so that I could get the kids to Disneyland while they were still kids - we made it there in 2014 they were 13, 10 & 10 at the time - old enough to remember it all, tall enough for the all the rides they wanted and young enough to experience the magic of childhood/DL. We so wish we could get there more often but its just not in our financial capacity either. I half jokingly told the kids our next trip was when they are old enough to shout their mother lol. There is still so much more of the USA we would love to see and my sons will be desperate to see Star Wars Land.

I can SO relate to the hermit comments! I am pretty happy ALONE a lot of the time....and I'm afraid I've passed that on to DD! Although we do like to be alone together! :rotfl2:

Yup.... saving, saving, saving for every little "extra" these days.... but I suppose that makes us appreciate it all the more!

Haven't caught up but just wanted to pop in and say Hi. DC is awesome and I'm operating off two hours of sleep due to a cat onboard the plane meowing incessantly and taking a poop on itself - under my seat. Yep. Crazy cat lady was behind me.

Ready to rock this half tomorrow. Woot woot.

OH NO!! I love cats, but I hope I'm never THAT lady! Saw your Instagram pictures.... looks like a nice visit!

No, no, no!! PLEASE don't feel like you need to pull away completely!! We are here WHENEVER you want to chat or need some support.... even if it is just a fly-by! Praying for you!

And YES..... I can host for April if you were scheduled there and YES, I could make it Star Wars themed! Would that help??

**********************

Hey friends.... look at me, on here in a timely fashion today! WOOT, WOOT to me!:rotfl:

Instagrammed my breakfast.... but not sure if that counts for this week's challenge, although it was kind of pretty. And realizing that I took the photos for last week's challenge, but they only made it as far as Instagram, didn't get them here. I'll do that this morning between laundry loads!

Off to the laundry line!.............P
 
I hope you come back soon @flvy . You are a great support person on here and we will miss you. I hope everything gets sorted and turned around quickly for you. Take care.

Happy Birthday @Dr Gunnie !

This month has been crazy busy on here and impressed on everyone keeping up and responding with multiple quotes. I still have not figure how to do all of that on here. Love having these boards even if I get behind and don't respond all the time it is great to come too and be part of a group that can relate to me.

I'm so sad to hear this, but I know how sometimes stepping away is best. Please come back as soon as you are able!
 
Checking in this morning. I had the luxury of sleeping in today in a quiet house - dad took boys to hockey and my daughter was sleeping in, too! So, having it be 11:00 with less than 1,000 steps logged is going to make for a "walking" kind of day, but I am grateful for my morning. I have a St. Patrick's day party to attend tonight, so I need to find something green to wear. My closet is not speaking to me - maybe I can walk around a store or two and find something!

For the week: 2.1lbs lost, which brings me to 5.9 for the month. That's 59% of goal.
 
Ok, ok, I say this a lot here, I know, BUT! Last night we booked All-Star Music for two nights in October. Planning to be at Food & Wine on our 1-year anniversary! We'll drive down late Saturday/early Sunday, do F&W Monday, and come home Tuesday, so it's not a big extravagant trip or anything, but I'm looking forward to it.. Hopefully it sticks! Now to lose a bunch of weight before October 24. Again. :rotfl:
 
Just a brief check in with my result for the week: 35%

I am happy as this was my time of the month week and that is always a bad week on the scale. But I managed a loss and so it was a success. I also had a very good week with eating and even exercise. Got in some purposeful walks. Tomorrow I am going to run again! Really looking forward to that!
 
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday! It was a great day spent with my family - did dinner and saw Zootopia. I liked it, but not as much as Inside Out or Big Hero 6.

Check in - I'm down 5 1/4 pounds for the month which is 38% of my 14 pound goal.

Haven't gotten the results I wanted the last few days. This morning I weighed in and didn't lose anything (again) and I was pretty pissed so I went downstairs and ran. I've only been doing mile runs to this point, but I was able to do 2 miles this morning. I haven't done 2 miles since high school (not that I've really tried). Really think I might be able to do a 5k in May - and I know just the one: http://fatass5k.com

This is hilarious.

I'll be back later to report in after I check on what I had for breakfasts this week.
 
Waitttt why are we posting breakfasts?? I missed something somewhere. Ugh.

This is one of the rivers by our house right now. This whole area is usually a road/bike path and an area for crops at the Agricenter. Right now it's fully submerged from the river that overflowed. I'll try to get a picture of the river tomorrow - the water is currently at the level of the road/bridge that goes over it. Thankfully the forecast next week is sunny!

Just sitting here waiting to take the cast picture. Opening night went really well. The big problem is 2nd night sometimes full of problems. Let's hope we break this streak.

It has been a pretty quiet day. Dh and I talked taxes and then I finished a quilt top. Tomorrow is church, give communion at a local nursing home and then the show. I am so happy that it is spring break next week. I plan a lot of quilting and dh is working on something in the basement. I will post some pictures tomorrow or Monday.
