Because the June accountability challenge seems to have helped us, I thought it would be fun to do that again this month. What do you hope will happen in July? Please let us know!

I want to be happier and more positive this month than I've ever been, and would be honored to post a nightly happiness level, from 1-10. Yesterday was a 6 because I rediscovered my hobby of reading in June, and continued, using more library material. (BTW, if you/your family don't have a library card(s), I encourage you to get one. I believe that the process is super-easy!)0

Ugh. 3 right now.I want to be happier and more positive this month than I've ever been, and would be honored to post a nightly happiness level, from 1-10.

BTW, I was hoping that y'all would appreciate another check-in/challenge convo. Am I wrong?0 -
0! This is not going well.
P.S.: am I alone in here again!?0 -
Yesterday was a 2, so that's some improvement. Today, my family is super-sick, so we'll see what that does to my score.0

I'll join in!
My goals for July would be:
1. Exercise at least 2 times a week for at least 15 minutes.
2. No snacking anytime between scheduled meals. - I will give myself four exceptions of this rule for the month.
Zcb94, hope your family feels better soon. Your July goal of being more positive sounds like a great goal to pursue. I have a lot of respect and admiration to those with chronic illnesses that persevere in spite of the difficulties. You are inspiring!

Thanks! Well, today I used two of my "snacking exceptions"
I snack without even thinking about it. Ugh!! 0 -
For the first time in forever, I peaked at a 7, after catching up with a long-lost friend this afternoon and reading another great book. Furthermore, a wound I've struggled with since this past Christmas is actually trying to heal! Yay!!0

0 again yesterday. Rain, sickness and hormones stink!0

Landed at a 6 yesterday. Wow, I'm all over the map. It helps that we adopted a beautiful cat, who the neighbors simply have no room for! She's a handful of joy.0

Aw! How neat! Cats are a great pet and definitely can bring cheer!
So I'm down to one snacking exception. Haven't exercised yet this week either Really want to exercise today - will see what happens. Oh well, I'm doing good in other areas so have to remember I'm not "superwoman"! haha I'll just keep working on it.

Woohoo!! I finally got one exercise session in! I tried the 25 minute Cardio dance workout posted on the MFP blog July 4. It was fun!
The snacking...we are working on. Today I found myself snacking when preparing supper and putting leftovers away - it is a horrible habit! Although I am keeping the snacking under better control than a month ago, so it is still progress.0 -
Great job! Hey, snacking when cooking is normal. All good cooks taste their food before sharing it!Woohoo!! I finally got one exercise session in! I tried the 25 minute Cardio dance workout posted on the MFP blog July 4. It was fun!

I don't feel much better. Checking in at a 2 this evening.0 -
3 last night. What is wrong with me? :ohwell:0

I'm back in! I've been busy at work for the last couple of weeks so although I've been good food-wise, I haven't checked in here much.
I have 3 weeks until my holiday so need to get my backside back into gear. I will keep my goal the same as last month: To do some form of exercise every day, and to maintain my weight So far this month, I've done pretty well! 0 -
Landed at a 4 yesterday. That's a little better.0

That is an awesome goal and sounds like you are doing a great job! You are more committed than I am, that is for sure. I have a horrible time fitting in exercise and I don't have anyone to blame but myself.
As far as my goals...snacking habit wasn't so great over the weekend. Doing better today with that. Exercise - hoping to get some in this evening.

You're on the right path!
I'm doing a 30 day yoga challenge at the moment, I'm only on day 3 but I'm actually really enjoying it. Got to love youtube!0 -
Well, she WAS a handful of joy until she started scratching my folks and scaring our dog away from eating. We ended up returning her. :ohwell:Landed at a 6 yesterday. Wow, I'm all over the map.

Checking in at an 8 tonight, yay!0 -
I just read something that might help @C1C2C3 and other snackers- on MFP's blog is a series of "So You Want To Start/Stop" articles around health habits. There's one about curtailing late-night snacking that I thought of you while reading. If you have not already seen it, please enjoy!0

Joy level 8 tonight, after talking on the phone with a relative whose voice I hadn't heard since I was a little girl. It was a fantastic experience!0

Hit about a 5 last night.

Landed at a 3, since I was so sick to my stomach.0

Finally reached a 9 for the first time in forever yesterday after getting out for a while.0

Again, wound up at a mediocre 5 last night. :ohwell:0
