  • Hey all,

    Here is the sixth of eight challenges across the calendar for 2017. I am keeping the challenge alive since SmallSteps has not been posting lately.

    Here is her explanation of the Challenge: SmallSteps: I’m wondering would anyone like to join me in a yearly challenge? Now, don't panic at the thoughts of going into this from January 1st to December 31st! For me, it would be near impossible to stay focused for a full year so I have decided to split the year into 8 challenges or 8 mini targets to reach. Each challenge represents a 6-8 week time during the year.

    Challenge 1: New Years Day to Valentine’s Day (January 1st to February 14th) Challenge 1
    Challenge 2: Valentine’s Day until April Fools Day (February 14th to April 1st) Challenge 2
    Challenge 3: April Fools Day until Mother's Day (April 1st to May 14th) Challenge 3
    Challenge 4: Mother's Day until Independence Day (May 14th to July 4th) Challenge 4
    Challenge 5: Independence Day to Labor Day (July 4th to September 4th) Challenge 5

    Challenge 6: Labor Day to Columbus Day (September 4th to October 9th)
    Challenge 7: Columbus Day until Thanksgiving Day (October 9th to November 23rd)
    Challenge 8: Thanksgiving Day to New Years Eve (November 23rd to December 31st)



    Weigh in days for challenges will be once a week.

  • So last cycle I kinda crashed and burned and took out a few things before coming to a complete stop.
    I have to admit that I did gain some weight back *sigh* but I haven't been to the gym in a bit and I haven't been eating less like I know I should. With school back in session I think I can get back into the swing of things. I also have my first 5k on October 7th.
  • Believe I'm in the same boat. Cheering for both of us in getting back on track!

    Kfunk I'm sorry to hear about bumps in your road. Here's hoping your luck turns around!!
  • believe and gulf Good for you guys for getting back to it!! It is hard!

    That is exciting that you have your first 5k coming up!! What did you do to train for that?

    p.s thank you gulf, things will be all good again soon, just gotta get over the hump!
