"In my craft or sullen art. . ."

I'm getting the impression that there are very few viewers following along at home, so I'm going to discontinue the Fellowship, but I will continue to make semi-regular fitness updates like this one, and if you DO want to share your own fitness triumphs and challenges, I am always up for that.

I also love to share good (vegan or vegan-convertible) recipes, fitness tips, your favorite work-out soundtracks, what you love to hate about fitness, the never-ending sports bra search, etc.

To be clear, I am Not Fit (TM). I'm overweight and need to get back in shape. I've done it before and hope to do it again. I'm not unfit, either. I eat well, I get a fair amount of steps in daily because of my job, I use a standing desk at work, and when the weather is better, I engage in a LOT of heavy-lifting, digging, hauling, bending, weeding, stretching, and walking--and that's all just from my favorite seasonal hobby, gardening. I also like to walk and am hoping to start jogging again when I lose enough weight to take the stress off of my knees and ankles, which will otherwise protest if I do not take care of them.

All of this is to say: If you care to talk about anything at all related to how you're feeling, what you'd like to do to be fit, what you are doing to be fit, what you could do if you were able to do, etc. I'm here for it all, my friends. :-)

( How I did this week )

Thanks for listening! :-)

Well, we're at the two-month mark for any fitness goals we set for the new year.

How are we doing?

As usual, I'll throw my own answer behind the cut. If you'd like to share, please do so in the comments. All are welcome! :-)

( Two months )



Have a great week ahead, friends!

Hey, friends: How was the last week for you? Did you make any new fitness goals? Abandon any old ones? Have you been holding steady or struggling?

As always, you're welcome to join us at any time. No goal is insignificant. If you have something you want to do to help yourself be fitter, by whatever definition applies, please let us know. We're here to share.

( My Week Six )

Until next time, friends, wishing you the achievement of your goals.

Hello, Friends:

So, how was your first week of 2019? Did you take a step toward your short- or long-term fitness goal(s)? Did you face impediments to those steps? Has it been a struggle to be motivated, or have you blazed a righteous trail?

Please do tell us how the week has been for you and also fill us in on what you hope to do in the week ahead. Remember, this challenge is you-centric, so you may change your goal(s), your plan of action, and/or your participation commitment at any time. We aren't here to judge (unless you're into that--lmk ;-) but to cheerlead, commiserate, etc.

( My Week One )

Here's wishing you a great Week Two!
