@Rozbee1 Early congratulations for making the winners circle for the first time!!
Congratulations also to the rest of you who inspire me every month with making the winners circle.3 -
No Winner's Circle this month! But personally I've come to terms that I don't always need to be in the "winner's circle" to feel like I've accomplished something and made progress. But I choose to stay cuz I feel more accountable and on track.
There are some moments where I would do better having a couple extra pass days and being OK with overeating just a little (like 50-100cal, not an entire extra meal lol) and maybe being a little lazy and focus more on my art+studies & self care and less on burning calories, it prevents burnout and prevents those days where it's "all or nothing" (eating ALL the food and never leaving my bed unless it's to make said food lmao. it's a depression habit that i still struggle to quit).
It SHOULD be the goal/mindset to aim for the winner's circle but there's no shame in not making it either! Your personal achievements every month is what makes you a winner
💪
ok so i updated June 27's food dairy cuz right before bed I impulsively ate a bowl of cereal and the whole day added up to 2,400+ calories 😰
and Pass Day #5 for the 28th, started off OK then my day's plans went wonky and i gave up on everything and emotionally ate. no excuses for any of it, but being honest. Yesterday added up to 2,600+ calories. In the past two days I ate 5,000calories. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained a pound or two this month after losing those few pounds lmao. Ugh, oh well. It's a "battle" I still haven't won over yet. 😱
I wanna know, do any of you ladies also get into a really bad depression when you PMS/menstruate? I can go from 3 weeks of feeling great and like I'm actually getting better and then the next week and a half undoes all that progress (from skincare to mental health to physical health). It just hits ya out of nowhere. I swear it happens everytime, I just wanna do better than this. Today it all ended and now I act as though nothing happened, more clear in the head and more motivated to do well. It's no longer the end of the world lol. I envy the people that don't have to go through these constant, grueling cycles!
Let's do better in the upcoming month!! 💪 🌟4 -

I wouldn’t get depressed (I’m 63 now), but my appetite would definitely go up through the roof.
I wonder, and maybe others will chime in, if it might make sense to eat slightly less 23 days of month & give yourself the extra calories for the 5 days of menstrual cycle. I remember the cravings were only really bad for me 2-3 days, but everyone is different.
Kind of a OK-This-Happens-Ever-Month-I-Better-Just-Plan-for-It Approach.
Good Luck!🍀1 -
Yes x 3. I plan to be in the winner's circle!2

I ain't much for accountability this month but I did lose a few pounds.
Looked at my blood this morning.
My Glucose is still a shade out of tolerance...
My A1C didn't budge. Still a shade out of tolerance.
But my lipids moved into tolerance.
My cholesterol and hdl moved into tolerance. That is good right?
I got some good exercise this month. Today's was kind of nice. I climb. That is what I do. I get on a bike and ride up a hill. Today I go by some girls. They are unlimbering at their car. I say something dumb and ride on by. But intuitively I know they are the weird competitive sort like me. So I know they are going to try and catch me and pass me. So I am a little more energetic than usual. So I crank a shade harder.
I keep watching to get passed but 70 80 minutes goes by and that doesn't happen so I kind of ease up and sink into my exercise reverie. Sometimes I wonder if I talk to myself... you know out loud. I think I got the road to myself so I don't really hold to a straight line. My mind wanders and my path wanders.
Next thing I hear "I am going to pass you on the right."
I kind of startle a bit.
She say "sorry if I scared you."
She seemed a bit elated to have caught me. I don't know how much head start I had.
I am kind of a weird guy on that mountain. I am a known quantity amongst a growing circle of local athletes. I ain't as fast as I used to be but I am always there.
Kids can have their conversations at the bike shop. "I seen the old man... and I beat him!"
I am the old man of the mountain.
Heh!

You should speak to your ob/gyn on this ...you may have PMDD which can be mentally debilitating it's not same as PMS (I'm not a doctor just my 2 cents)0 -

Exercise: Yes, core workout. Wanted to skip it but knew I’d be reporting my efforts to you all and got it done.
Calories: yes
Tracking: Yes
8 pass days so not in the winner’s circle. But the accountability UAC requires definitely kept me from having even more pass days, so that’s good!3
