Conquer 2020 Virtual Race Review The Conquer 2020 Virtual Race was one of our first races. I saw the “Conquer 2020” theme and just had to have it. It was so incredibly fitting for the year 2020 too! It was a rough year, right? When I saw it, I shared it with Beck and we talked about it. We discussed setting a goal for 2,020 miles but we were already…
Run The Year 2021 Race Review – In Progress
Run The Year 2021 Virtual Race Review The Run The Year 2021 is another great race to sign up for. It’s very similar to the Amerithon race that I wrote about previously. They are both produced by the Run the Edge platform. Admittedly, I am working the Amerithon challenge and the Run the Year 2021 challenge at the same time. But that’s only because both are so stinkin long! The…
Monday Motivation – Post Pandemic – Week One on Repeat
Weight Loss Journey – Ki’s Progress The week before last was a total failure, so I repeated week one this past week. Let’s just get that straight right off the bat. I didn’t do well with my diet, I didn’t do well logging things, and I didn’t do well exercising. So I decided to start over again. This seems to be a pattern. I think I’m going to stop doing…
Sunday Stats – Week 1 – Repeated
My Progress – Week 1 Repeated This week, I repeated week 1 of my journey since I failed miserably last week. If at first we don’t succeed, right? I did a whole lot better this week, I know that before I even look at my goals. That said, I also know that there is still room for improvement. So let’s get right to it… Goal #1 – Diet – Since…
About the Fitbit Blaze Fitness Tracker
About the Fitbit Blaze Fitness Tracker Okay, let’s talk about the Fitbit Blaze fitness tracker. I bought it because I needed an upgrade from the Fitbit Charge. I decided on the Fitbit Blaze because it would track my sleep habits and it had a heart rate monitor. Both of which were a focus in my life at the time. This was an upgrade, so I paid a bit more for…
Amerithon Virtual Race Review – In Progress
Amerithon Virtual Race Review The Amerithon Virtual Race was one that the Sloth and I were both super excited to sign up for and do as a team. This is, by far, the longest challenge we’ve attempted thus far at 3,521 miles. We both registered for this race on October 29, 2020. I received my finisher pack on November 6, 2020 and began tracking my activity immediately for this challenge,…
Rise Higher Virtual Race Review – In Progress
Rise Higher Virtual Race Review The Rise Higher Virtual Race is one of my favorite races so far. I like the longer challenges because 5k and 10k races are completed so quickly that it almost feels like a waste of money registering for those races, even though we still get a medal for it. It almost feels like cheating because it’s too easy. I love the more challenging races that…
Monday Motivation – Post Pandemic – Week One
Weight Loss Journey – Ki’s Progress I started off this week doing really well… for like the first part of the first day. I started Keto on Sunday and did pretty well with it. At the end of the day I was tired so I went to lay down in bed and watch TV. Then my bratty son came in and intentionally triggered cravings to convince me to take him…
Sunday Stats – Week 1 – Again
My Progress – Week 1 Goal #1 – Diet – Since I am starting fresh this week, I spent the day getting all of my tools updated with current dates and current goals. I use a set of spreadsheets to track my progress. I find that logging things this way helps keep me focused on my goals. The days that I fail to log are the days that I also…
Monday Motivation – Post Pandemic – Week Zero
Weight Loss Journey – Ki’s Progress I started off the week doing really well! I started Keto on Monday which was the hardest day. That was when I wanted to go out to eat just “one more time”… again… for the fourth day in a row. Just one soft drink. Just one candy bar. That kind of thing. But I stayed strong and told myself no. I got through the…
