Almost all green but will miss floors again today. Got in a great Legs and 20 min treadmill walk this morning. Tomorrow's workout plan is Back and 30 min on elliptical. Used just Bio-Freeze this morning and again after my shower so far might use the roll on Bio-Freeze shortly and again before bed or just before bed. Got my vitamins and ignition to put in my protein shakes post workout. Not sure if I'll use a pain patch tomorrow morning or just Bio-Freeze but will use the latter before my workout tomorrow afternoon.

10/30/18

Almost all green missed floors yesterday and will again today too. Got in a pretty good Shoulders and 30 min treadmill walk instead of stair master and rower. Tomorrow's workout plan is Legs and 20 min treadmill walk not sure if I'll set an incline or not will see how my back feels after. Update on back after wearing a smaller pain patch decided to buy a can of Bio-Freeze to keep in my work bag used some of that before my workout and put more on when I got home from eating out. Did well today and had 1749 calories for the day even after eating at a Mexican restaurant. Since it was at the mall went to GNC and bought some of my protein powder that I needed. Also got a text on my way home saying that my vitamins and other workout stuff are at the gym so will get them in the morning. Only used the foam roller for a couple of minutes and my back felt better but was in a hurry to get home and cleaned up for dinner so didn't get to use the roller after.

10/29/18

Almost all green just will miss floors today. Achieved my steps per hour goal today. Update on my back still sore but using the foam roller really helped and will use it again tomorrow. Starting tomorrow think I'll do a 5 min warm up including stretching on the foam roller then finish up with more stretches. Great or as best I could with a sore back legs and 20 min incline treadmill walk this morning. Tomorrow's workout plan is Shoulders and depending on how my back feels 15 min on stair master then finish up rowing otherwise if my back isn't feeling better then I'll do 30 min on rower.

10/28/18

Probably won't go all green today will miss floors and active minutes. So far on track to achieve my steps per hour goal today. Update on my back it's a little better but put on an Icy Hot pain patch after my shower. Watched an amazing win by the Kansas City Chiefs today we are now 7-1 after the victory today. Tomorrow's workout plan is Legs and 20 min incline treadmill walk first then work 1PM-6PM. Might have to be careful on legs day all depending on how my back feels in the morning. Might go ahead and use the Bio-Freeze roll on then after my shower use my last pain patch will need to buy another package tomorrow afternoon.

10/27/18

Almost all green just going to miss active minutes and floors. Didn't achieve my steps per hour goal missed it by 29 steps while sitting in church tonight. Update on my back it's not a sore since I put an Icy Hot pain patch on when I got home from work this morning. Going to use either Icy Hot roll on or the Bio freeze roll on before bed tonight. Plan is to get into the gym all 5 days this week. I was in 2 workweek hustle challenges and won one and finished second in the other. Currently in second place in both weekend warrior challenges right now.

Missed achieving my steps per hour goal by 72 steps while sitting in church tonight. Will only get into the gym 4 days this week since I work 11:15-6:15 on Wed and that's too late to go workout so might get the second leg day workout in like last week at home otherwise I'll miss that workout this week.

Tomorrow's workout plan is 30 min on elliptical and Biceps/Triceps. Won't check in with my Spark People teams today since I had an early morning which turned into a long day and after my workout a short evening before another early morning tomorrow. Figured out with the help of a member of a Fit Bit group how to turn the quick view off on my charge3.

10/16/18

Won't go all green today will miss floors today but will achieve my steps per hour goal today. Great Shoulders/Cardio workout today I ended up doing 10 min on the stair master and 20 min on the rower since wasn't sure I could do 30 min on stair master since I wasn't used to it. Tomorrow will be a rest day since I'm going to the eye dr and getting my eyes dilated and also getting new tires on my car. Working late today so writing early today.

Battery on my Charge3 is at 21% but going to charge it as soon as I finish going all green and get 13K steps and 5 miles. Decided to take my phone out of the case to charge it and will use a cord to charge overnight instead of the wireless charging pad.

Didn't go all green yesterday missed floors and active minutes and won't go all green today will miss floors for sure and maybe active minutes too. But will achieve my steps per hour goal today after missing yesterday's by 58 steps in the 5PM hour. Unofficially the scale is down 0.5# from last week and body fat is down 0.3% from last week with tomorrow being official weigh in. After watching my trainer's IG story I'm excited to see the changes that she's made to the gym since Friday I know at the gym they are starting classes on Monday using mats which are in the spot where the treadmills and recumbent bikes were so eager to see where those are at now.

10/13/18

Won't go all green today missed floors and active minutes. Didn't achieve my steps per hour goal missed the 5PM hour while sitting in church tonight by 58 steps. Will only get into the gym 4 days this week so will skip my Wed Legs day due to an eye appointment and getting new tires put on my car. Still loving my Charge3 and found the instructions on how to stop a tracked workout when I push play to start tracking my workout from my Charge3. I took a screenshot of the instructions so now I can stop the exercise tracking on my tracker Monday afternoon after my Legs and 20 min incline treadmill walk. A little nervous about the box jumps after I fell last week but going to try the tip Johnyee suggested by using the resistance band and pullup bar to help with the box jumps.

Achieved my steps per hour goal today and had a great Back and 30 min on elliptical workout this morning. Tomorrow's workout plan is Biceps and Triceps with 30 min on elliptical. I'm leading both workweek hustle challenges on Fit Bit. Need 2 more hours to achieve my steps per hour goal as I'm writing at 4PM. At around 7PM I'll put my Charge3 on the charger to have a full charge. Did the Starbuck's run this morning after I figured out how to get my favorites set and not have to order.

All green and achieved my steps per hour goal today. Got in a great Legs & 20 min incline treadmill walk this afternoon after I got my car back from being serviced. My new Fit Bit Charge3 is in town at the post office so I'll get it tomorrow when the mail comes. Tomorrow's workout plan is Back and 30 min on elliptical. My bruise isn't hurting today but I've been off and haven't done much so haven't taken anything for the pain today. So far as of today I'm 3.9# down from when I first started working with Johnyee. I've been using a food journal for so long that I don't remember the last time I didn't write down my food.

10/9/18

All green and achieved my steps per hour goal today. Got in a great Shoulders workout and instead of 30 min on the stair master I did 30 min on the elliptical since my bruise was really sore and hurting today. Having my car serviced in the morning then Legs and 20 min incline treadmill walk in the afternoon. Off the next 2 days so will rest some and hope my knee is better by truck on Friday.

10/8/18

Almost all green yesterday just missed miles and active minutes before charging my Alta HR. Got in a great Legs and 20 min incline treadmill walk in despite missing the box and hitting my thigh and inside of my knee. To explain what the box is it's used for step up, jumps or anything in a CrossFit gym. My trainer did the same thing about 8 weeks ago and her knee still hurts and is bruised. Tomorrow's workout plan is Shoulders and 30 min on stair master if it's free but if not then will do something else. All green today and achieved my steps per hour goal.

10/7/18

Gonna miss miles and active minutes today but will get my 13K steps before putting my Alta HR on the charge since I won't have my Charge3 until Saturday afternoon. Plan for tomorrow is Legs and 20 min incline treadmill walk. Got the low battery notification so once I get 13K steps I'll charge my Alta HR. Scale is down 1.1# from last weigh in so will try and be a little lower than that tomorrow morning. Did however achieve my steps per hour goal today. Will go all green and achieve my steps per hour goal tomorrow.

All green and achieved my steps per hour goal today. Got in a great Back/Triceps and 20 min incline treadmill walk. Started out the morning at US Cellular having the gal reset my voicemail passcode so I could change it and access my voicemail. Then went for my workout and stopped to get a shake at the shake place kinda downtown and then stopped at GNC for more energy drinks and lean 25 shakes. After I got back into town I stopped and got my flu shot so that's done for the year. Tomorrow's workout plan is Cardio (20 min incline treadmill walk & 15 min on stair master unless I decide to get on the elliptical or bike instead)/ 5 Abs exercises. Haven't gotten my new workouts put on the app yet but have a text and PM sent to my trainer and she is looking into it but haven't heard back yet. I know she will be out of town this weekend starting tomorrow and back either sometime late on Saturday or on Sunday.
