I think this is probably one of my favorite quotes of all time and you can apply it to literally everything--from eating fewer calories to pushing yourself to go an extra 5 minutes on the treadmill to even just learning a new skill...not even fitness related. And most of all, you'd be surprised of what you're really capable of. So get out of your comfort zone and try something a little more challenging, even if it's just another 5 mins on the treadmill! Surprise yourself and you'll feel better for it!

Exercise:Yes, 36 mins weight training, 10 mins treadmill
Comments: I've been eating the same thing for a couple weeks, really it's my strategy over the long term because I already know what I'm eating and don't have to think about it. I tend to try to treat food as fuel and less like a treat or emotional release, that way I'm not tempted to over-eat, having said that, every now and again I want to eat something different. I ran across a recipe that looked really good so I adapted it to be keto and I was not disappointed. Stuffed chicken with Broccoli, bacon and cheese! You can always make what you want fit your goals, just sometimes, you have to work for it.
Wish I had picked a different place, that stupid apple in the middle of the plate makes it harder to see the food, not that I thought of that last night when I was ready to eat it because believe me, then I did not care, I just wanted to enjoy my creation!
THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS!!!!1 -
It can be confusing since months don't start on Sundays and end on Saturdays.....
Maybe this will help?
August Challenge
Week 1 - July 29 - Aug 4
Week 2 - Aug 5-11
Week 3 - Aug 12-18
Week 4 - Aug 26- Sep 1
For returning members, starting weight is the last weigh in number from the previous month.
For new members, you can give a starting weight BEFORE week 1 (the week before).
I have been in the challenge since December, and I still get confused sometimes...
Also, that spreadsheet is super helpful.
Thanks @tinak33
that is so helpful!

I was looking at my sleep logs for the week noticing that I had been sleeping in REM a lot (thought I was sleeping good for once) and then realized the tracker hadn't tracked my heart rate the entire time. I contacted support but they can't figure it out so they are looking into it further. I think I'm going to switch to Garmin. Any suggestions for a Garmin? Has to be waterproof, track heart rate, GPS, etc...
The two Garmin watches that fit my criteria are the Vivoactive HR and Vivoactive3. I need one that I can use in my pool. The V HR has been out a couple of years and just had a price drop, should be able to pick up a new one close to 159.00. The V-3 is fairly new, will run around 269.00.
I went ahead and ordered the Vivoactive HR XL for 169.00 and 11 bucks for a three year warranty from Amazon. Also purchased the bike mount for the Stationary Bike. Should be here tomorrow.
Might want to check those out.

I missed my weigh in yesterday so here it is
Pw 192.6
Cw 196
I fell off the wagon. Down the hill and into a river of gators. Had to sucker punch one of the b**ches to let go. Now I’m trying to climb back up the mountain. I will reach the top( my end goal) eventually. Just have to watch them slippery cliffs.
It’s funny when falling down the hill I had such a craving for what I didn’t know. So I tryed all my old favorites but realized they no longer taste the same. I don’t really crave the things I once did. And that’s something I never thought would happen.1 -

@IanMoone30 This is a marathon and not a sprint. You will have good days, bad days, but the important thing is to pick yourself up and carry on and you're headed in the right direction!! You got this!0 -
Daily Post (Tuesday, 8/7)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, under
Exercise: Yes, 20-minute ride on my stationary bike
Day: My day was super busy with errands and getting my hair done. Went to Chic-Fil-A for lunch and ordered the grilled nuggets and they gave me the fried. That was an 8 point difference!
But my calories and points are where they should be and I even managed a tiny bit of exercise on my stationary bike. I also ordered a new Fitbit since mine has been acting squirrely.
