February #BFC2022 update. So I didn‘t make my active zone minutes goal. But it‘s ok. I‘m going to swap out that goal for winning a DietBet game I joined with my sister @hollyvoncount It might be a good change of pace. I also met my reading goal of 12 (13 if you count my DNF) and my skin care goal. My self care goal this time seems silly but I want to try to read on my patio 30 minutes a day just for a change of setting and making myself chill.

#BFC21 January goals
1) Drink more water
2) Read at least 5 days a week
3) Hit my daily steps goal at least 3 of the 5 work days (My new job has me sitting much more than I am used to) a week

January is a lot about how to do what I need to at work- because of the masks I don't drink as much water, I'm also sitting a lot more than I used to. Thanks for hosting @wanderinglynn

So excited to participate in #BFC21!
Goals:
1. Read/listen to 4 books
2. Workout 30mins 5 days a week
3. Stretch everyday
4. Follow the 30 days to healthy living plan

I‘m excited to do this again! It helped me so much exactly when I needed it! 1) book goal - at least 5 books per month; 2) Fitness goal - walk 30 minutes per day Thank you! Happy New Year! #BFC21

📚: I am going to start with a monthly goal of 8 books per month.
🥗 Go back to eating vegetarian 3x a week.

#BFC21 @wanderinglynn So glad we're back at it!

#40miles20hours hosted by @KristenDuck log exercise up to 40 hours and read 20 hours. Seems like fun. It might take me a month though.

Ive done my daily devotional reading. I havent finished a book yet.
#bfc28 @wanderinglynn

#BFC
Honestly had forgotten about this - but I did finish one book (took a long time but I managed to get through it) and did exercise 3 times this week (exercise bike and walks) so Im happy about that!

I signed up! #bfc

Final check in for #BFCr4:
I'm not going to give my totals simply because this round was more of a lesson in patience. I need to be kinder and more forgiving towards myself. I think this round really gave me some things to work on for myself. It was so good to see others hitting their goals (and to enjoy cheering on others even when you fall behind on your goals), I can't wait for the next round!

Week 6 of #bfcr4 Wow! The weeks flew by! I am proud of my accomplishments this round. I am happy with my steps, my self care was better, & I am happy with the books I read! I learned that I have not been drinking the right amount of water & that is something I need to work on & I need to train myself to drink way more water.

Thank you @wanderinglynn for another fabulous round, you are amazing!

#bookfitnesschallenge #WeekSix

Kinda slacked off this week so if there is another round going to change my goals to make them more challenging!

Thanks again for organizing this great thing @wanderinglynn ❤️

And great job to all my teammates! It‘s been great doing this with you @KathyWheeler @TheAromaofBooks @sharread

This round kicked my a**. My mental health took a nose dive and it made it hard to do anything more than the bare minimum. I sort of dragged myself across the finish line here and I certainly don‘t feel healthier than I was when I started, but I know i gave it all the energy I had. Shoutout to my girls who kept me sane and gave me so much encouragement. @StayCurious @Hufflepuffle @IndoorDame Cat tax instead of lame stats. #bfcr4

#BFCr4 – Great job everyone! 🙌🏻🎉 And thank you for joining me these last 6 weeks. ☺️

Please remember to tag me on your final check-in.

Also, if you have any comments or feedback, please feel free to email me (Litsy.bfc@gmail.com)

Here‘s my #bfcr4 week 5, sorry I‘m late. I meditated 6/7, workout 2/2, i incorporated veggies into a lot of my meals and I finished 2 books. @wanderinglynn @suzie.reads @Emilymdxn @jessinikkip @LauraJ

#bfcr4 #gobletoffitness met my step goal this week thanks to a Disney trip! But did not read at all... also because Disney! @wanderinglynn

#BFCR4 week 5 checkin - I missed last week‘s because I had a little breakdown and have been struggling to pick myself back up. Tweaked my goals because I started running again and I‘ve been eating super weird - so no fruit/veg goal and new running days goal. I also started an antidepressant to help get me through stuff, so taking that daily is another new goal. @Crazeedi @Airykah13 @TheSpineView

Week 5 of #bfcr4 I am happy with my results this week! I got a cold last weekend & was feeling not so great this week, but I pushed through, worked my school‘s book fair two nights & then rested on Friday, so my steps were low that day. I found a Water app, but it is telling me I need to drink so much more water than I have been, so I am going to need to work on that. I am drinking more water than I have been, but no where near the right amount!

Week 5 Check In for #BFCr4!
✔7 of 6 hours exercise
🚫0 books
🚫 too much soda
🚫 no salads
Stress at work has me drinking soda again, and craving comfort food for lunch. I'm hoping that this coming week is better for those two goals. Idk what's going on with my reading, but I have not read anything lately in its entirety!!
(Light up chicken photo for tax)

📚 I reached my reading goal so I am going to change it from 25 to 35 books.

💧My water average was really sad this week, but in my defense I allowed myself to drink coffee for the first time in months and I dont count coffee water in my totals lol

👟 Next week is my bday week so I am going to make my week 6 step goal 60K @AsYouWish @bookwormjillk @BookNerd9906 @erinreads #BFC #BFCr4 @wanderinglynn

Not a bad week!
@wanderinglynn @KathyWheeler @TheAromaofBooks @sharread #bfcr4

#BFC week 4 was a rough one for me. Our cat stopped eating and we received the terrible news that he probably has lymphoma. The rest of the week is pretty much a blur, but my Fitbit tells me it wasn‘t horrible step wise. I also finished my audiobook goal. So, hoping to be more mindful next week, but also gentle with myself because I am downright heartbroken over this. #BFCr4

Still struggling with back injury, which is miserable and frustrating. But counting short walks with the pup as exercise until I‘m feeling better.

#BFC check in
I have to change up my goals because of everything that‘s been going on in my life . Here are my new goals !! Hopefully I can keep up with these !

I‘ve done better since resetting my goals! Getting 40 ounces of water instead of 60 but working on it. Vacuumed this week, did my gratitude MOST days, didn‘t spend any money, and finished a book! Feeling better going into this next week. #bfcr4

Week 4 of #bfcr4 This week was a bit rough! I came close a few days to my step goals, so I am happy about that. I need to step it up on my water goal, I may have to find a good water app tracker to help me with that, I used to use Plant Nanny, but always seems to kill my plants! I have started a few books, so that number will go up soon. On the mental front, my work environment is still not great, but I am dealing with it!

#bookfitnesschallenge

#BFCr4 only 2 weeks to go! You got this! 🙌🏻

If you‘re struggling, let us know. You can also adapt or change your goals. Maybe your goals are different each week because your life is different each week. That‘s okay! Find what works for you this week and do it. The important thing is to keep going and don‘t give up. 💚

#BFC
It was a very bad week for me when it came to meeting any goals. I was running nonstop from work to different things... october is busier then I remember it ! I also got sick :( on the up but still feeling down. On to next week! Keep your heads up team!

Been kinda slacking this round with my food - need to get a little more disciplined but overall ok week.

#bfcr4 @wanderinglynn @TheAromaofBooks @KathyWheeler @sharread

Been working on a few books but haven‘t finished one in a while, total I‘m 4 books finished out of my goal of 6. The gym has been hard, but I have been getting my steps. But I‘ll keep moving forward!! #bfcr4 #gobletoffitness @wanderinglynn @crazyspine @jmtrivera @bookandcat

Week 3 of #bfcr4 I am proud of my progress this week! However this week was a struggle for my mental health, it was very stressful at work this week and I am having a very hard time right now. I am trying to stay my positive happy self, but it isn‘t easy.

I had a good #BFCr4 week.

👍92,405 steps out of my 100,000 stretch goal (so close!)
👍Listened to 2 more audiobooks while active- at this point I should easily hit my goal so will probably treat myself to a nice long presidential bio
👍Did better setting boundaries and saying no and feel better for it
👍Did a better job eating my bone health diet.
👎Accidentally ate some doughnuts and Halloween candy from staff kitchen.

Loving the fall colors!

#bfc round 4 week 2

And I did not get any walks in... guys I need to walk more it helps me relax can someone message me like by Wednesday and be like have you walked yet Rachel?! Haha keep up the great work everybody !

How's it going team? @Trashcanman , @guinsgirlreads , & @ChasingOm

Barefoot in the beach in October at night - it was cold but awesome! Feel like this week went well even if I didn‘t quite hit all my goals - it was a rough and super busy one but I still made time for self care.
Week two #BFCR4 check-in #TeamSpellbinders @Crazeedi @TheSpineView @Airykah13

Not a great week two for me. I had one day of rain, was flat on my back sick another day, and gave in too many times to the treats in my staff kitchen. But I did get in some good walks, played whiffle ball with my son, and did tons of gardening. I also finished a second audiobook (I only count the ones I listen to while active.) Onward to week 3! I‘m feeling better and loving the cool weather.

#bfcr4 week 2 check in.
I meditated every day. I stayed active most of the week, but only exercised 1 day. Im still working on my sugar intake. I finished one book and have a few started. @wanderinglynn @Emilymdxn @suzie.reads @jessinikkip @LauraJ

Week 2 of #bfcr4 This week was a bit crazy!!! I am happy that I was able to fit in me time this week, even if it was short amounts of time!! I have to admit this week was stressful and I feel like work is going to be stressful for at least the next 5 weeks, fingers crossed I don‘t lose my mind!!!

#bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn @BookNerd9906 @Bookwormjillk @erinreads @MatchlessMarie
#Scarathlon #TeamStoker @TheReadingMermaid

Combining both weeks, as just realized I never did last week.

I‘ve had to switch back to lunchtime walks because it‘s too dark before and after work, and work has been crazy (in a good way) as I‘ve been busy screening, interviewing, and checking references to fill a new position. Home has been crazy with senior pictures, volleyball, and homecoming.

My tracking has not been good! 😬

#bfcr4

#BFC round 4 has started out bad for me. I had zero motivation for some reason. I‘m not gonna best myself up tho. On the next week and I will do my best and get out there. If anyone is struggling know we are all in this together and I have your back!

Week 1 of #bfcr4 I think I did pretty good for my first week. I am proud of myself and am working hard to achieve my goals!!
