Keep moving!

I'm a middle-aged (yuck, hate that description) woman who wants to lead a fitful life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When I joined SP in January, I set 35 pounds as my primary 2013 SP goal. In February, my health club offered a 90 day challenge to lose 28 pounds and win 3 months free membership. I only lost 10 pounds but I'm thrilled. That's 10 pounds gone! Now, I've joined a six week boot camp to help me keep moving. I'm also participating in my first ever sprint triathlon ...

I only lost 10 pounds but I'm thrilled. That's 10 pounds gone! Now, I've joined a six week boot camp to help me keep moving. I'm also participating in my first ever sprint triathlon in June. Now that the weather is cooperating, I'm jumping on a bicycle for the first time in 25 years in preparation for the Tri. Instead of swimming, this Tri includes a 1.5 mile kayak race. I've been doing a C25K since joining SP, and I've seen good progress. I did a 5k in April (still had to walk part of it) and dropped 90 seconds off my January 5k time. Hopefully by year end, I will be able to jog an entire 5k. So, my motto is "keep moving!" I appreciate the encouragement I've gotten from other SparkPeople since joining in January.

FITFULLIFE is kicking myself. I enjoyed every single spoonful of that Ben & Jerry's ice cream I ate today, but I think I'll be sorry next time I weigh myself.

WOOHOO! Welcome to BLC 22! I'm sure you will do great! I see you have a great plan in place for May. You are really doing great there. With all your activity I'm sure you'll succeed in your goals.

Oh, me? I'm Cyndi and I've been living on Azure Destinations Island for the past several rounds. I'm looking forward to BLC 22 as well. Hope you've joined the challenge for this weekend. It really helps keep me moving on the weekends. It helps me keep my goals in focus.

I'm new here since April, so you are more of an expert than I am! I agree with you about blogging. I hate writing of any kind, even doing writing mini lessons in front of my first graders. I feel like I just sort of "ramble on", but it is actually helpful to me, so I'll keep doing it! I think you are doing fantastic with both your weight loss and fitness goals. emoticon emoticon Did I say I like to read or I am actually a reader? During the school year, I'm lucky if I can stay awake to read 2 pages? emoticon In the summer I get much more reading done! emoticon Have a great day!

Wow, sorry about the knee, those things are always hard to come back from. There is definitely a balance to be found between being on Spark and actually doing the things you need to do to get in shape. A lot of people go whole hog here and do find themselves neglecting other parts of their lives, which is not good. Usually what happens is you find one or two teams that really resonate with you, and you do those few activities that make sense for you. You can't do it all, or you'd be here all day. People here who belong to a hundred teams and have thousands of friends... I don't get that.

It looks like you've already found swimming to be pretty ideal for fitness and it's a lot of fun. And now you have the time to do that, and it certainly sounds like you've earned it!

It doesn't matter if you are slow, fast, or whatever. Swimming is pretty macho and it will work those muscles more than you realize. I'm not competitive either and I'm absolutely not an expert, just a person who loves to swim. Let me know if you have any questions about goal setting or workouts, or post a question on the board. You'll get lots of good response!
