I am still working on my fitness goals, but the Live Below the Line Challenge has me feeling a bit unmotivated and tired. During the duration of the challenge, I will not be updating Striiving for Fitness posts. I am still running Striiv and earning water for South...

Catching up again. It had been a busy weekend and these posts got shoved aside. Day 19 Friday was below average, but at least I didn’t sit around all day. The neighborhood rummage sales started on Friday and I walked around a few blocks to the closer sales....

Not a great week at all. It went downhill after a great weekend and Monday. You can find out some of the why on my Photo A Day posts from Tuesday and Wednesday. Other than Monday, I paid very little attention to what I ate… I either ate way too little or too...

Not much to say except that it was a great day for steps. I was on a roll! I blew away my 6,000 step minimum and made it beyond my 8,000 goal. I began with my 600 calories and added 935 from exercise, which gave me a total of 1,535 to eat. I ate 1,415 calories…...

An average day. The weather at least improved some, but I had so much to do inside that I didn’t get to enjoy the outside. Snow in the forecast again, so who knows when my walking weather will finally get here. If it were just me I would be out every day...

Not the greatest few days. I only hit my 6,000 step minimum on one day. This weather is really getting to me… making me feel lazy and cooped up. I’m tired of opening the curtains in the morning and seeing snow. I am very close to having the Amazon gift...

With the day of silence yesterday, I didn’t do a post for day 8, so I am combining it with day 9’s post. Not bad days overall, but not fantastic either. I didn’t get the screenshots in time, so the day 9 stats are from a graph layout...

Blech! Day 7 was worse than I expected. I sat too much and ate too much. I didn’t track my food… big mistake. I finished the day with a pathetic 1,784 steps. I began with my 600 calories and added 378 from exercise, which gave me a total of 978 to eat. I...

I was certain day six was going to be a low day for steps, but Mom and I were doing a Walkathon with each other in Striiv and she passed me the baton some time in the afternoon. At that time I had just over 1000 steps. Pathetic! I set out to do the whole 5000 steps of...

Day five was tough! My heel was even more sore than the day before and I was walking strangely to avoid putting pressure on it… which made my ankle and knee sore. We had to get our shopping done, though. That is the only reason my steps were so high yesterday....
