Just One June - June 1 (Initial Check-In)

Kitnthecat

Thanks Kirkor ! I love my toothpaste.

I'm going to stick to less than 50g of carbs a day, even when I go out, that's usually the big problem for me! I already get some exercise every day, at least walking the dogs, but I easily go on a binge if I have too many carbs and my challenge is to avoid that.

HorseChick008

I am on day 4 of Original Atkins 1972. My goal for June is to get out of the 160's and track everything that goes into my mouth good and bad and track my weight daily so I can see patterns. I track my food on Fat secret because it is easier.

My goal is going to be keeping up adequate intake of water. I get super busy with keeping up maintenance on the property and working dogs that I just forget till I come inside and have to struggle in get enough in before bedtime. I take water outside but when it's gone I often forget to refill it !! Sounds so incredibly simple but.... maybe not sometimes LOL

I'm going to add in one active activity a day into my routine for my physical and mental health. Just to have more energy and a feeling if accomplishment. I actually hate physical activity especially in the heat but I know I need to push myself regardless.
My weight is currently 221 lbs

My June change is to avoid the scale. I'm driving myself crazy with what I logically know are daily fluctuations, experiencing them emotionally as though they are actually fat gains. So I will weigh tomorrow morning as usual and not weigh again until July 1. I'm not sure if I can do this...

I have opted out of this challenge. In my mind just one thing leads to others that changes outcomes so I cannot attribute any improvement to a one thing change. I am planning changes for June or at least part of it. For starters, dairy. With that I am also abstaining from coffee. Dilemma would be if any changes come from the lack of Cream or the caffeine.

I will be pushing myself to reach my step goal daily, instead of 5 days a week. (I have a neuromuscular disease that throws a wrench in my activity plans when it flares, but I'll be pushing as much as I can without causing a flare)

Right now my daily goal is 3,000 steps. When I reach that daily for two weeks I'll increase it to 3,500/ day. Perhaps faster if the Myasthenia Gravis is behaving itself!

I'm going to try and limit my dairy to just some heavy whip and butter with my BP coffee. No cheese after I finished this can of parmesan.

Day one challenge finished!

I am going to add weightlifting to my workout routine. I will try for three times a week. It would be a major win if this could become a habit for me because I have been very resistant to working with the weights consistently.

me_ona_diet

I'm going to add in some exercise this month, -, strength training and/or cardiovascular (that I can do that's not too hard on my knee) and aim for three times a week to start. Need to build some muscle.

deksgrl

My goal is to add strength training back into my routine. I was doing well until March when I got insanely busy, then I was gone for most of the month of April, then May was insanely busy catching up on everything after being gone almost a month. Ultimately, 3x per week is ideal, but that might be too ambitious right now, so I will commit to 1x a week and hope for 2x or 3x when I can.

I am doing it for health reasons, with added benefit of fat loss. I hope to be able to get back to previous # on weight lifted when I left off, but this may be more difficult if I am only getting in 1x per week, but will see how that goes. And I have never lifted on low carb before so that may also be a factor.

tlmeyn

Ok .. I wasn't going to do anything, but I decided I am just too inconsistant with my exercise. Soooo... I am going to EITHER get a minimum of 5000 steps every single day (my steps vary WILDLY from 1200 to 13500 so far) an average day being around 3000-4000, Or 30
Minutes of some other exercise every single day. Early or late. Pain or no pain. I have to stop being lazy. If my knees won't take it, I will do 45 of upper body. But it has to be SOMETHING.

rpm893

I am going to log everything i put in my mouth this month and not skip any days (i.e. the weekend)

pedidiva

Hi, I am happy with the food plan and my exercise activities. My goal is to do my back exercises (Foundation Training--check out the TED talk on youtube by Eric Goodman.) daily--minimum of 10 minutes a day. My job requires much sitting and my lower back has been hurting. These exercises have helped.

Xylitol is OK

Radii, I hear you about the meditation.

dreamcatcheuse

I hurt my knee so I won't be able to exercice or even do my 10000 steps but I count on my diet to help me loose 10lb by the end of the month

professionalHobbyist

I am going to stop buying mixed nuts again for a month.

They slow my fat burning since they are so calorie laden and easy to snarf down.

I will go back to celery and low fat cream cheese or yogurt based dips as a snack.

Alliwan

Do some sort movement everyday, walks if i can but can do some arm weights if needed in the hhouse when it is downpouring out there

LuanaBean

Add fresh veg juices that I juice myself.

jambinz

I plan to walk every day in June. Varying distances and terrain. 30 to 60 minutes. Wish me luck!

wabmester

Nothing I really want to change in terms of diet and exercise. But I do have way too much STUFF and would love to declutter. I'll use this thread to guilt myself into selling a bunch of crap on ebay.

Fat4Fuel2

I have a cruise the first week of July, and I would like to be 155 for then, but realistically, this won't happen. I am currently 160 and a slow loser. In order to help expedite this process and know I've don't EVERYTHING I can do, I am going to log EVERYTHING every day and take a picture of the food I am eating even if it's just one pecan. I'm hoping that having to pull my camera out every time I want one pecan will deter me from mindless snacking. Only water and non-caloric beverages and gum will be left out.

Couchpotato39

I just started today so my goal is to keep it up through the end of June and hopefully be down 15 lbs by July 1!

Almoshposh

Walked 4.5km today. Good start so far.

71MissKelly

No diet coke! Exercise 3-4 days per week.

mominstands

This has nothing to do with diet, but this is the month I've decided to stop smoking. Today is my quit day. This thread will help to keep me accountable. That is my change for June to become smoke free

FIT_Goat

Of course there would be a tornado warning on the first day of my "walk the dogs every day" challenge.

But, it passed. And we did get out. One of my dogs pushed himself a little too hard. He tore up his pad on his paw trying to run on the streets. It's clearly been too long. But, that's happened before. I know he's going to be ready and eager to go again tomorrow. We'll just have to take it slow and only do short walks at first.

AreteAndWhimsy

Still struggling with water retention. I'm going to log all water as if it were a food item.

jabrams1955

My June goal is to not eat all the sugar ladden items I usually eat. No kitkats, cookies, chocolates and limit the alcohol.
