    Hi Team. I just wanted to request to be moved from the challenge for June. I haven't been able to participate and am feeling very guilty about this. I will try to get myself back on track soon and hopefully come back for July or August. I will give my final weigh in on Saturday.

    We will miss you, Mari, but I understand the feeling of not being able to give it your all. And I know that just because you are stepping away from the group for now, you are not abandoning your goals. I know that you are going to continue to work towards them, just not with any added responsibilities to any of us!! Best of luck to you! See you later, hopefully.

    I haven't been doing as well this month as I had hoped. It has been dreary here and I have been feeling down. But it's time to pull myself up by my bootstraps and get with it. This weight will not come off by itself. So today starts a new goal for me which is to either go to gym or go for a walk every day and work to get this weight off. I also am learning to say no when tempted with foods I know are not good for me. I have to do this for myself and no one can do it for me. Today is a brand new day.

    Exercise 30 min 21 Day Fix Barre Legs

    I've been thinking about the question of the week. I think just planning is my biggest struggle right now. If I don't have a plan for my workouts I don't put as much of an effort in, I've noticed. And if I don't plan out my meals and snacks that's always dangerous ;) because when I get hungry I'll just grab anything. And when my husband is off I'm more likely to eat junk with him if I don't have a plan. He likes to eat out a lot and needs a big bowl of popcorn everytime we watch TV. Doing the 21 Day Fix has kind of forced me to plan everything, so I need to keep that up after I'm done with this round.

    Been there. Done that. Wondered that.
    I have found that, sometimes, new months are even better than Mondays!
    You've got this.

    ...Oh wait! That was just a couple of weeks ago and it's why I've been working the past 2 weeks to play catch-up with my weigh-ins.
    We've got this!

    UGHHHHHH.
    I overdid it last weekend and I’m still paying the price! Weekends have been brutal for me keeping on track. Now it’s Memorial Day Weekend, I’m going to make every effort to grill healthy to try to get out of this cycle of falling off the wagon on the weekends!

    Weigh in Friday week 4
    Last week 166
    Current weight 166.5

    I don’t know what I’m doing wrong! Week after eeek my numbers aren’t changing. I’m keeping within my allowed calories walking almost everyday and even doing some light weight training. I understand the whole muscle weighs more then fat thing but if anything my clothes seem to be feeling more tight and it’s not because I’ve changed the heat settings on my dryer! Lol. Sorry , I’m just feeling frustrated with the nice weather being here and the thought of a bathing suit is making me want to cry!

    I started tracking, but it fell apart about half way through dinner. Our eldest reached some amazing goals at work today (should get him a 15% pay increase) and we had a celebratory dinner/evening complete with a nice champagne and a favorite meal at home. It turned into some great family time. I didn't over do, but did decide to not weigh/measure everything and instead, just enjoyed the moment. :smiley:

    Love your attitude, Marsha!! You are so right...no one can do this for us; we have to do it for ourselves! Although June doesn't officially start until Friday, the June challenge starts tomorrow. Let's see if we all can't have our head in the game by then, come up with some easy step-by-step plan, and make this month our best one ever!!!!

    It sounds so easy, but yes, planning ahead is one of the main keys to success!! Let's all PLAN to make June our best month yet!!
