then hours trying to recover all lost data from my Darebee tracking spreadsheet after the file corrupted. That will teach me to be a dinosaur and keep my only file on a thumb drive. So if anyone recalls which workouts were Workout of the Day from Sunday back a couple of weeks, I be quite appreciative. Crazy as it sounds I do have spurts of motivation and try and backcapture missed Exercises of the Day and Workouts of the Day. Darebee go to the trouble of putting them up on the website, the least I can do is complete them. Admittedly finding time is the killer.

Lower Body Blast 30-day challenge: Day 6 - Done

Thank you @NancyTree I managed to rescue most of my lost data but learnt a valuable lesson. Back Up and frequently. It's been quite a number of years since I had a USB drive die on me but I should have learnt from that. This time it wasn't vitally important data, just my Darebee activity tracking which I am quite methodical about. Speaking of which, here is today's activity.
