@ajaia2001 you are an inspiration!! Congrats and way to go! And yay team RTM!!
@skullsandskeletons Thank you and your doing great too!! Have a fabulous day!!1 -
@jupdyke ~ I made a note of your vacation week. I can imagine it will be hard. I bet though you will still get in some exercise to help balance it out. I’ll miss you. But you deserve it!
Before you leave be sure to find and mark the July thread so you can find us easily upon return. 👍🏽 And thanks for cheering on the team. And awesome Monday workout!
WE DID KICK BUTT! SUPER TEAM @RUNTRACKMINDS!
@JamieD328~ Sounds like your doing good. Getting into a groove to make this a lifestyle change and an overall wellness process in your life of life for life. 🤗 Good Monday!
@ajaia2001~ Way to slay on #Monslay!! 👏🏽 Yes… we are awesome. Thanks for posting daily and being an inspiration for us.
@skullsandskeletons ~ Yeah for a #Monslay! 11 hours of work should be considered exercise! Phew! Thanks for the extra hip hip hooray for our team and teammate!
@LululovinLife ~ What to do what to do!? Hhhhhhhmmmm Sounds like your body needs a good shake-up. It sounds crazy, but you could have what is called a boost meal, where you eat one extra portion of something or do a long stint of exercise. Last week I walked 2 miles and my body responded! !?!?!? Better than a gain, though. Keep at it! You can do it!

Daily Post (Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: over, 1387/ 1360
Day: Continually frustrated with the scale, feel as though I've been doing all the same things I did before and not having the same success. Feeling meh about this journey this week. Haven't given up and won't give up, but being a little easier on myself with a few extra snacks here and there. I feel like I might need a week break of eating at maintenance, or slightly above where I normally eat to give myself a mental rest, then kickstart July off in a better place. Idk, still a bit on the fence about this idea. Will see how Tuesday plays out before fully committing to a maintenance week.2 -
Weigh in day Wed but posting today which I'll explain!
SW-226
PW-226
CW-226
My weigh in day is usually Wednesday but I just came off the Graduation/Retirement "party circuit" of the last two weeks. I do feel blessed to have so many nice friends that include me in the celebration of their life accomplishments but I cannot deny that six graduation and two retirement parties in three weeks means chaos for me with calorie control! Hence my want to weigh in today early so I can put all of this "making merry" behind me and get down to the business of weight reduction.
My favorite exercise starts this week with open water swimming. I am fortunate to live near the ocean and early morning swims with my swim group of one of my favorite kinds of exercise EVER!
Have a great week everyone!

Some times are like that! If you think a maintenance week will recharge your batteries go for it so July has you completely recharged. Good for you keying into your feelings, this journey isn't just all about the body but the mind as well. :-)1 -

Ooh, so jealous... A couple of years ago I went to swim in an open lake and absolutely loved it! Sadly, don't have that option anymore.
Enjoy it!1 -

Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: 2 hrs of cardio
Goal/Day: A very hot Tuesday 🥵. Had a great workout this evening. Did 1 hr with my Tuesday group(bleachers and sprints on the football field) then walked/ran a hour on trail with my bestie.0 -
Forgot my daily post yesterday (Tuesday)
Run: did an hour aerobics/toning class, worked to my max but it was fun.
Track: yes, had a homemade burger in a bun for supper, was yummy and within my calories. Went just a little over but made up for that with my workout.
Mind: my scale is messing with my head, I'm not sure I can deal with weighing daily but I find it a little obsessive. I like to track my fluctuations but I also get disappointed with them. Food for thought....0 -

I planned for chocolate, but not salt. Hubby had chips in his basket. I thought I could control myself, but no.
Today is a new day and now I know better. Do not go back into the kitchen. Keep it closed. It was a good 11 day streak. And hopefully it will be just the one day 'off.' That tonight, I'll have more determination and positive self-talk.

What are you going to do to burn calories today? Tomorrow?

@jwall309~ I know you won’t give up. Interested in how you will shake it up and if a maintenance week will do the trick. I had another binge last night, so need to be strict over here. And then one maintenance on the weekend. 🤗
@bakay138 ~ Wow! 👍🏽 You did really good for all those parties. I hate to do this… I have your PW as 224.8. But, that is all behind you. Today, Wednesday is a new day w/no parties in sight! You can do it! You’re going to lose in July with all that swimming- for sure. I’m excited to get in the water too. I’m waiting for Torch Lake to warm up a little before jumping though.
@skullsandskeletons~ Wooohooooo! 👍🏽 “Totally, Tuesday!- You did it!”
@ajaia2001~ WHOA! That bleacher thing is inspiring! 💪🏃 I know I can not run them. But, I can walk them. I’m going to a little league baseball game and the field is near the football field. I am going to make an effort to walk up and down once. Then maybe a second time, too. Thanks for sharing this!! It won’t be an hour, but it will be better than nothing. You’re doing great!
@Perla4686 ~ 60 minutes! Awesome!! 👍🏽 I like to weigh daily only for information!! It helps me know what foods affect me and what my best combination of foods are to lose weight. It is also a huge eye-opener when I binge and gain 2-3# in one day. I have a calendar by the bathroom scale. I write the daily weight small and my Sunday weekly weigh-in large numbers. It’s a tool. It’s not the rule. There are so many tools we can use. When we switch our focus from the scale to making habits and being determined, then it’s a little easier to use the scale as a tool. Habits. You can make that mental switch. One day at a time. One meal at a time. One minute at a time. You’re doing it. Keep doing it!

Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Day: Normal day, no complaints
Still feeling defeated, I'm not regular so not sure if its TOM or just an off week or both. BF even commented last night that I was low energy compared to usual and was concerned something was wrong. Nothing is wrong that I can pinpoint....after another disappointing weigh in this morning, I've decided that other than Friday weigh in for this group, I won't weigh myself again until July 1. That gives me a few days off. I will stay on plan, but I need a mental break from the scale for this week. July 1 will be a "new"/refreshed start to kick off the next month of this challenge!0 -

Have a fantastic week everyone!0

@johicks Were you able to do the bleachers? I can usually run the first time but by time we get to the second set I'm much slower and walking up them.0 -

@ajaia2001 - I didn't. It was too hot for me. But I will on a cooler day. 0 -
As we approach the weekend, prepare your mindset for positive self-talk and determination. You can do it!

@jwall309~ So sorry. Our bodies are too complex, sometimes. Right!? Not weighing may also be a good break. So many options. And the stupid power we give to the scale. HUGS You will get through this!
@jupdyke~ I doubt you will get this until you return. I know you will have a blast! Sounds like heaven. And nice “welcome/ intro” in July for our newbies and all to get to know you.
@skullsandskeletons~ Wonderful Wednesday for you.
@ajaia2001~ I made an excuse and burned zero calories by not running bleachers. Drats! It is a goal though! Thanks for asking. Great Wednesday for you!
Been on a 2-day funk. Ugh!! I’m going to work hard today to get out of it. It dawned on me as I lazed on the couch in the morning looking at my hubby…… He’s gotten up early (before me!) the last two days and that throws me out of my normal routine. So, I need a strategy for that. OR just more determination after being with him and before I go to work. Otherwise, it feels like a weekend morning and I have all day, then NOPE! Gotta get ready for work and I didn’t get meals packed/planned and no morning workout. Anyway…. Always learning and tweaking.

Week 4 Thursday weigh in
PW: 159.4
CW: 161
This one is mostly out of my control because of bloating, but I know snacking hasn't been great either. Hopefully it will drop and I will make better decisions leading up to the 4th, which in my family is also a birthday, so there will be cake...0 -

Snacks - sodium - bloating; all seem to go hand in hand. But knowing that it's all part of life. The problem with cake is not eating it, but eating one piece and being in control. One good days, I will not have a carb with my dinner (potato, rice, bread, pasta, etc.) and eat a small piece instead. All we can is our best to adapt to making lifestyle choices. You're doing good with this and all you're going through. Hope you & mom can fit in a walk or some activity with the little ones, too. You will shake off that gain in no time! HUGS
And the spin is.... you had an overall LOST for the month of June.

Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Day: Mood is improving bit by bit the closer we get to the weekend. I'm realizing my mood is also a result of frustration at work, unfortunately that won't change anytime soon, so need to figure something out to help with that.
@johicks as always thank you for the encouragement! I know this week has just been a blip on the radar in terms of how I've felt during this process so far, reflecting back the rest of the time has been a positive experience, so its ok that this week isn't as positive, I'll move forward and move past it.0 -
Daily report Thurs
Run: no workout today, still sore from my Tuesday workout.
Track: yes, over by 600
not planned my day well and ended up with pizza for dinner. I was still on track so tried to have a little pizza but then ended up really hungry two hours later, and the biscuits came out.
Mind: on the upside, when I stopped, I stopped! Told myself it happened and moved on.
I've been very bloated/constipated for the last week, I'm not sure why. So the scale hasn't moved and i'm not feeling great. I hope things shift by morning (literally) as I know I don't handle a disappointing weigh-in well (read: sod it, might as well eat whatever ...)1 -
Daily Post (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Even
Exercise: No
