Mine is to walk 100 miles a week spread over 5 days.
Am finding out that if not having or keeping proper posture my hips will start aching.
Do you have a fitness challenge and how is it working out for you? |

The same as always, try to drink less beer and keep my joints working, i.e. keep going!
I want to find time to ride my bike regularly, but we already in the lead up to Xmas rush period......

Worth remembering.
Quote- "Time spent on self improvement is time never wasted!"
I was told these words by a gymnastics teacher near 50 years ago.
Amazing how just a few words of encouragement can make such a huge difference to one's outlook on life.
Thank you all for sharing your journey together we will go far. |

We just wrapped up our Dojo's annual "Legends of the Fall" Weight Loss Challenge. This is a 10 week weight loss challenge with those participating getting weighed after class every Friday. It ended last Friday, and the 1st Place winner lost over 6% of his body weight. 2nd Place (which was myself) lost over 5% of body weight. 3rd place lost over 3% of body weight.
It was a good challenge.

On a strict weight loss mission once again. I finally got a bike, so I ride my bike quite a lot nowadays. I drive to a secluded spot every other day to jog as far as 5K. I still go to the gym, mainly for the swimming pool which went from just on Saturday, to Saturday and Wednesday; I do 10 laps...that lap pool is pretty long.
With my personal medical fights, exercise is tantamount for me across the board. My emotions tend to hit me on nearly daily; can't work out when I'm bawling...I know...I tried and it never ends up well for me because I am no longer focused on my surroundings.
Without challenges; my life would be so darn boring...and I mean B O R I N G.
*EDIT: I can't spell sometimes

Sounds great there, Patrick.
After all, some is better than none. On the heals of that idiom, there’s, no pain, no gain.
