Re: Linda's daily check-in
Nice continued efforts on the step challenges! I remember a similar feeling, however, after last April when I made it a goal to go 15K+ every day - after that month, I lost interest in wearing my fitbit! When it broke last fall, I haven't bothered to replace it.

Re: Any fellow vanilla NoSers?
I consider myself pretty vanilla. For pre-diabetes reasons, I am moderate low-carb, but I've been doing it so long it's like breathing. I seriously can't imagine snacking, having seconds, or sweets on N days without having to consider it a fail.

Alene - interestingly, I also had an injury while doing barre! I got really into it a number of years ago and I strained my hip flexor with the leg lifts. A very painful injury actually! I've never tried it again, although I always love how graceful I feel when I do those kinds of exercises.
