@retiredteacher thanks for the encouragement.
What criteria are you considering reporting? Weight loss, or how well you fared on keeping up with the program?
I had planned to go to my club today to do my regular gym exercises but it’s pouring out so I may just do the bike, unless the rain lets up a bit. What I really feel like doing is taking a nap!

I think for people who aren't fans of exercise or haven't been active in some time, like me, it's important to say what I did week one. I posted the link to Mayo's Plan when I first started Lighten Your Limbs, and on Nov. 8th, I will report that I did what Mayo suggested. If I don't meet the criteria of 5-5-5 for five days of seven, I will tell that. I do not make up things and would never say I did it all, if I don't. So, I will give a report of completing the 5-5-5 first week and will be ready for week two.
I have some weight to lose, but my goal is, as Mayo says, to be healthier and stronger. If I lose a few pounds, then that's a bonus. But I am not doing this to lose weight. As a diabetic 2, I have to be aware of the foods that are allowable. Some are not for weight loss. As a teacher and as a person, I don't cheat the system; I never have and never will. I am a straight arrow and have to be true to myself and others.
