Hi @jugarHi gang!
it looks like we are off to a good start!
I'd just like to remind anyone who was in April's baseball challenge to get in their last stats so that it can all be tallied. Thanks! you can check the tally at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1brwcKsCNHTXQVlsvChTZVndGRU1zLPbAL_Fr7mfpYVI/edit?ts=5cadd4ac#gid=1230110671 to be sure all your numbers are in. I may have missed something in the change of month!
I'll catch up later with the new stuff - there are a lot of questions in the air, and we'll make sure that things are clear. If you don't get an answer, ask again!
I apologize for not entering my stats and weigh in for last two days. Didn’t realize baseball was coming to and end.
If possible please enter my stats
Friday - 15325 steps plus 1 hr Zumba and 1 hr walking
Saturday- 9127 steps and 1 hour Zumba and 1 hr walking

Only Two Weigh-In Reports Today (Monday):
@reflectionofme
@tdrjustus3 (if a different day of the week for your weigh-in report will be easier for you report on time - we can change it - great to see your re-commitment statement, and let us know how best to encourage you!)
No-one due tomorrow (Tuesday)0 -
Thank you for answering all my questions!
Yesterday my steps were 9763
Water was 80oz
I'm excited that i made it through my first weekend as a mfper! I ate a lot of treats probably not as many as usual... But I logged and I made sure I was active both days!!3 -
Thanks for the check-in and information, @Kittu125 and @Connie7355 ! I updated the beginning of May weight, but your next weigh-in day is still Friday. Glad you're still here.
Keep counting those steps, and now amount of water you have as well, if you're into the friendly competition! I always laugh that trying to drink 64 ounces of water a day is a TALL order for someone only 5 feet tall. I call it "just under 2 litres" and somehow that sounds less intimidating!2 -

DRILL SARGENT HUM MM .... NOT GOOD FOR A RETIRED NAVY CHIEF WAR DOG HANDLER.... NEVER DID CARE MUCH FOR THOSE GROUND POUNDERS IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, HOW EVER THEY WERE "BROTHERS IN ARMS" AND I DO RESPECT THEM ..... YOU COULD SAY THAT I JUST GENTLY PUSH MY TEAM WITH A VERY ASSERTIVE ATTITUDE TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE.... MAYBE SOUNDS LIKE A D/S BUT IT COMES FROM THE HEART OF A WARRIOR ...... THE END RESULT BEING THAT MY TEAM MATES LIVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.. IF WE LOOSE A FEW POUNDS IN THE PROCESS MORE POWER TO US.

Reflection for Monday - Monday musings
I still find it weird (and irritating) that I feel flabby sometimes for no reason at all. I weigh the same, am in reasonably good shape, but if my muscles aren't challenged and/or I am full from eating a meal, I can feel out of shape almost instantly. If I skip a day or two of exercise more intense than a good walk, or if I eat a good meal (healthy or not!) and feel full, something in my mind makes me feel as if I have gone back to 35 pounds heavier and with achy joints. Does that happen to you? This feeling makes it hard to get up and do things sometimes. Of course, getting up and doing things, especially a good workout, is the best way to get rid of the feeling, but this kind of instant relapse sometimes discourages me into doing nothing.
So - antidote. I'm actually going to drink all that water and get the muscles going. Tally ho!

I married a Canadian Navy "drill sergeant" (I know it's not truly the correct title) who would transform new reserve recruits from civilians into military personnel. We've been married for 31 years now ... So I know what you are saying ... and have HUGE respect for the TRUE process (not the general misperception).2 -
So, following my very positive post earlier, I decided to do my workout, which I haven't been doing for 3 weeks. I had to stop halfway through as the little one became cranky. Got so frustrated I can't seem to get on top of things (chronic procrastinator) and now find myself snacking on biscuits and crisps and telling myself 'i don't care' when clearly, I do!
Help, how do I snap back into the zone?!!
First, I’d say don’t feel guilty about your workout getting interrupted. It is frustrating but part of life with little ones. Try again later or maybe make modifications and try to do some exercises with your little one.
In line with This week’s moderator’s challenge. As soon as you feel frustrated (and are interrupted) go get get a big glass of water and drink it before you put anything else in your mouth. Then if you still feel like stuffing something in your face,you may be more mindful. Life is hard with kids sometimes, but they are so worth it. Give the little one a big hug and maybe dance together for 20 minutes. That counts as a workout too. Good luck. You can do this!!2 -

Ok I think I'm all caught up on the thread now.
I'm Rhonda. I'm 50. I'm determined to lose weight and make this second half of my life be significantly healthier than the first.
Count me in for the weight loss, steps, and water challenge. I'll post my info for Sunday and Monday later today. I'm going to bed for now.
Have a great week everyone!2 -
