Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? aqua size
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes3 -
Pass Day >3 - no deliberate exercise.
I was hoping to have a thoughtful post on motivating and encouraging others but the reality is that I am still struggling to motivate myself each and every day. This group has been the BEST in terms of support and accountability for me and I want to thank everyone that posts, especially when you share a bit of insight about your day. Thank you!5 -

June has been a crazy month - we've replaced 3 A/C units (our home, one car, and one of our businesses), someone wrecked a car I was borrowing from my aunt (totaled it out), and my transmission went out in our other vehicle (this Monday). I have been pretty positive about all of the challenges, so it's not bumming me out - but I think a lot of that has to do with my increased activity (and healthy - mostly - diet) making me more upbeat (endorphins, right?). So, while it wasn't a great day yesterday (or this past week), I am not upset, just taking it all in stride. I haven't ruined everything, I am not going to give up or go on a binge. I am just living life - and dealing with it as it comes.
Here's to a great end to June!! 5 -
@DreamAchiever33, life is sure handing you a lot in one month! You're inspiring me with your attitude and how you are handling it all. Hope things settle down for you very soon. 3

@craigo3154 Happy Belated Birthday! Sounds like you had a nice celebration. My family chooses Japanese on their days too2

Wonderful responses to the Question of the Day! Thank you!
I am going to implement them
Immediately.
Be the example.
They need to own it.
Comment on their successes/habit changes. Refrain from doing so on other items.
Keep prepared healthy foods.
Be excited & suggest walks/hikes in our case.
What worked for me likely won’t for them.
And my addition:
I believe that it takes a few times before obese people are successful in losing weight. Each time we learn more.
I believe each person has to identify at least one compelling reason they want to be healthier that will enable them to bypass more short term pleasures of their current eating/exercise patterns that are not working for them.
Kindness. Compassion.
As I read a long time ago in UAC...I think from @craigo3154 much of this comes down to self-honesty. No one will know if I eat 3 more almonds. I need to get to point where I deeply understand the value of self-honesty. Every calorie eaten counts. Not recoding it is only fooling myself.
People don’t ask me how I Lost 75 lbs & became transformed with excellent labs.
I’ve helped 2 ppl so far (one asked, one didn’t) mostly by directing them to the apps I use. I want to help others, but we can’t really unless they ask.
My plan is to maintain the rest of my life. This is the best way I can help them.
