and now my husband is sick. 
I'm dedicating today to getting life back into some sort of a more normal rhythm and to be back to the daily challenge of logging, staying within calories and exercising.
Kind of happy to see a new week kick off!
Hope your hubby feels better soon. Yes, gotta love Sundays and Mondays....the two "fresh start" days given to us every week!!4 -
Today is Sunday, July 1st. Happy Canada Day to the Canadians in the group! We have plans to go to my brother and sister in-law's for a little get together. She always has a huge spread, so I will try to make mindful choices. I will think about how much I really want it, and if it is something maybe I don't eat everyday. Then I will try to be mindful of how much of that I take! I always tell myself that the first serving of potato salad or cheesecake or whatever, tastes exactly the same as the second, so I don't really need the second! I just need to be sure to savour it the first time!! I will not even attempt to log anything; I am going to focus on enjoying the day instead!8

Thanks for the nice welcome Lisa. I’m going to adopt your mantracand remind myself to savor each bite - and eat less of them 😄
Today is my rest day so I have to be very careful with calories to stay in budget. Im doing the mini-accountability challenge, so I’ve logged my 2 cups of coffee & cream and I’ll do my 20 minutes of light activity after my next cup.
Happy Canada Day. Enjoy the fireworks 💥

Hello all my name is Drea and this is my 3rd monthcin this challenge, May and June were pretty bad for me I wasn’t consistent with my workouts, and reverted to cheat days instead of meals...but all that’s changed hello July!

This weeks weight: 223.5
And @HASWLRS this was with a cheat meal that was 3 slices of New York pizza (not really ny bt I found this amazing restaurant)

I, too, am happy that you have started us off on the right foot for the July Challenge!! You have had an incredible bounce back week!! You should be very proud of yourself!! Like I said, Drea, you can still have pizza, just maybe not every night! You can still lose with cheat meals...because you don't have to be perfect (calorie wise) all the time, just most of the time!! And you made sure it was good pizza!!!!2 -
@Jamesb2405, the moderator actually has you down for a Saturday weigh-in, since you just posted your starting weight yesterday. It makes sense then to post your weight average this coming Saturday, the 7th, so you will have had a whole week in this challenge under your belt. Just giving you options.1

Last month I was on a June challenge until my MS caused me to collapse twice in the same day with this heat. My belief and goals have to do with getting healthier, leaner, stronger and staying on track. So glad to be here with all of you! (I don't want to merely show up for life activities... I want to show up looking and feeling like a positive force of amazing natural energy!) It's the first of a new month and I'm quoting a song... "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life... and I'm feeling gooooooooood!"

Tracking: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: 1.74 Hike up Kennesaw Mountain and 2.01 mile walk/jog down the mountain road

I'm thinking since my official start wait on the spreadsheet is listed as 6/30/18 and I stated my weigh day would be Sunday so I weigh next Sunday not today right since that was yesterday. But in case I am wrong when I weighed in this morning weighed 228.8lbs which is down from 229.2 so down 0.4lbs2 -

Ok, I think this is where I am suppose to post for the accountability challenge too. Well, might need to take today as my free pass. Logged everything: yes; stayed inside calories: no; exercise for 20 min: sort of (walked & was only mildly active today. It was VERY hot). I think tomorrow will be better! 😏
To Peachez2- I believe this is indeed where we post. I don’t see anywhere where we can reply to a previous post directly, so just added the response here. Also, happy beginning of July to you as well!1 -
Mini challenge
7/1
Tracking Yes
Calories I am going to say NO even though it looks like yes. We went to the farmers market and jamboree today so even with trying to find best guesses when logging I'm pretty sure there were calories not accounted for.
Exercise Yes Walking at the farmers market and then bodyweight exercises at home.2 -
July 1
Exercise: Yes
Calories: Under budget
Tracking: Yes
Finished my exercises just before 11pm yet my goal is to exercise earlier. Daytime is too hot and humid for me (even with A/C) so I'm trying to work on getting to sleep earlier and rising earlier. It's tricky because I start to feel more energetic when evening sets in. Glad to be exercising accountability again.

Hi @HASWLRS I’m going to have to drop out of this months challenge. We are on school holidays for the next 2 weeks and then we have to travel for my youngest sons surgery. We will be out of town for another 2 weeks after that. We get home on the 31st and I’ll be ready to join August’s challenge then. I’d like to stay in the group and b3 part of the cheerleading squad if that’s ok?2

Hi everyone my name's Destiny. I've been in the group since January. I'm a sahm to 4 kids ages 8, 5, 2, and almost 8 months. I have family visiting for the next 2 weeks so finding time to exercise will be a struggle, as will making good food choices. Every summer when they visit I get the mindset "They're on vacation so I'm going to eat like I'm on vacation too!"
