Hi folks, Some of you posted your goals and challenges, some reported ideas to achieve those goals. Any tips, recipes, motivations, etc., please share. I've only lost 3 pounds so far - the first week started off rocky and I went up before I went down. I got new sneakers to help with the knee issue, and got back to Orange Theory Fitness (OTF), which I absolutely love. I have signed up for 3 days per week until the Falmouth road race, which is my first benchmark date. ANY BODY CARE TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS, CHALLENGES, TIPS, ETC? -- Judy Flynn

Hi all! I'd like to propose a challenge to every one who signed up for this group. Putting your major and incremental goals aside, I am issuing a challenge. Pick an exercise that you can do in your office a few times a day - maybe in between appointments, or every hour, or whatever works - but schedule it in and make it a routine. It might be having small weights near your desk and every hour you do 10 arm exercises, or maybe you will do 10 squats, or whatever. There is no excuse not to fit in a few arm exercises or squats. These small steps will add up over time, and it is healthy to get up and move periodically. Think about it - other ideas for quick and easy stretching or strength exercises that can be done throughout the day? -- Judy Flynn

So, I’m patting myself on the back because I’m finishing up week 3 of detoxing for 2 days and feel so much better AND I went to a restorative yoga class last night! The stretching was much needed for this bod that’s getting’ up there in years. Would love to hear from others about their “small” wins and baby steps!

So, I’ve made it to day 2! However, I would like to make a motion that we allow an exemption for anyone being evacuated due to a hurricane. Letha - stay safe and save the good stuff! - Jen Get Outlook for iOS

A SUCCESS, A FAILURE, A STRUGGLE, A RECIPE, A NEW WORKOUT YOU TRIED, SOMETHING YOU DISCOVERED THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIKE, SOME SUPPORT FOR OTHERS, WHATEVUH (AS WE SAY IN BOSTON)! -- Judy Flynn

Okay folks, summer is over and the excuses have drifted away along with the hot summer days. Time to look at your calendars and do the following: 1. Circle the NAELA Summit/Board meeting on your calendar, as this is our goal date. 2. Now, work your way backwards - count the days, the weeks, or whatever works for you. 3. Write your goals - what do you want to achieve by the time we meet again in DC? 4. What must you commit to in order to meet your goal(s)? Once you figure out what you need to do, schedule those things on your calendar, IN WRITING. MAKE THE COMMITMENT. Put your personal commitment appointments in your calendar the same way you would for an "important" client. You are, after all, as important as any client or other commitment. 5. Feel free to share here - as much or as little as you want - your goals and what you have committed to do in order to achieve your goals. 6. Remember, no goal is too small or silly. If you need to lose weight or get healthier by exercising more, maybe a walk 3 x per week is where you start. If you are already into exercising but you need to control what you eat, make a plan and write it out. If you have not had a physical in 3 years, make the appointment and take it from there. Please take the time to reflect on what YOU need to do for yourself and then WRITE IT DOWN. Writing it down is an important part of the commitment to yourself. Posting it here to our small group is a higher level of commitment. If you are unsure about making the commitment to the group, know that we are all here to offer support and motivation. If that does not work for you and you would rather lurk in the background, that is okay too. We hope you find benefit in it. Whether you will share here or not, please think about your goals and make a commitment to yourself to make change, improvements, etc. I will go through this exercise (reflecting, refining, and posting goals) in the next day. I hope many of you will do so also. Judy Flynn -- Judy Flynn

HI ALL - GOOD MORNING! I' PROMISE I AM NOT YELLING - I CAN READ THIS BETTER WITH CAPS. SOME OF YOU SIGNED ON TO THE GROUP,, BUT WE HAVE NOT HEARD A PEEP FROM YOU YET.. ON THE ONE HAND, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUBLISH YOUR GOALS HERE, OR YOUR PROGRESS. A MOTIVATIONAL/SUPPORT GROUP IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PARTICIPATION OF THE MEMBERS, HOWEVER, SO FEEL FREE TO HELP HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE BY: * PUBLISHING A GOAL OR TWO, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE SO * SHARED A SUCCESS, OR A SETBACK (WE ALL HAVE THEM), AND HOW YOU PLAN TO MAKE PROGRESS DESPITE A SETBACK * A RECIPE, A TIP, OR SOME WORDS OF SUPPORT FOR YOUR FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN ISSUES AND GOALS AND EVEN IF YOUR GOAL IS TO GET TO THE DENTIST AFTER MISSING YOUR ANNUAL CLEANING FOR 2 YEARS (OR MORE) DUE TO FEAR (HMMM, DID I SAY THAT?), THAT IS A WORTHY GOAL AND BY SHARING THAT GOAL, YOU ARE BEGINNING TO HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE. BECAUSE THE REST OF US CARE, AND THE REST OF US ARE HERE TO OFFER AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE SUPPORT AS YOU ALL NEED. JUST A REMINDER ... I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY. -- Judy Flynn

Mark and I are considering the Keto diet (no carbs all fats). Has anyone tried this? Mark's Daughter swears by it.

If anyone has MyFitnessPal we could use that to track diet and exercise progress. I am caroljwessels if you want to friend me. I use the free version.
