    Daily Post: Saturday
    Track:Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Ran just under 4 miles, walked the dog, and cleaned.
    Day: This house has been stressful the past two days. I got up and decided to go for a run to get rid of some of the stress and anxiety I was feeling. It worked pretty well. After working out, went to town to get things for the week. We had my parents over for steaks tonight for Father's Day, then played a game. It was a nice time. I'm feeling back on track now.

    Daily Post (Saturday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Even
    Exercise: No
    Goal/Day: Today was the end of a long and tiring workweek. We are working 10 hr days Monday thru Saturday for the next 3 weeks. I ate exactly my amount of calories but I'm pooped so no exercising tonight. I'll make it up by doing extra over the next few days.

And I had a protein shake prior and sis shared part of her salad. All logged. Dinner was pre-plated and hubby stuck to meal.plan of leftovers. Phew! Back on track. Hubby & I watched a movie and had a better night together.

    bummer about the gain. But you're already off to a great week with today's post and great attitude. Hang in there. You can do it.

    Awesome! Not that your tired, but that you had another great day. I too expect to (or hope) to stay the same. Too many nights in a row, I binged.

    Wholeheartedly, I believe this. We need to learn to provide our bodies and our minds with proper nourishment.

    The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
    Run -keep moving
    Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
    Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).

    I am so excited to see actual results! I’ve been doing the couch to 5k, and the zombies, run throughout the week and it’s finally paying off! Though I don’t exercise every single day I make sure to track my calories and eat healthy. I haven’t had any soda in about 2 months, which is a huge win for me because I used to drink a ton of it. Now it’s just black coffee, water, and wine for me. I haven’t given up any of my foods, I just eat less of it. I’m so proud that I finally put my mind to this, and it’s paying off!

    Some individuals did awesome!! Congratulations!! As a group we did okay. “Tough Love” time. Let’s work extra hard over the next two weeks. Let’s lose!! Make a goal, a commitment that YOU CAN really do your food plan and/or exercise for 3-4 consecutive days this week. Remind yourself that you can do anything for just one day- “Just for Today!”

    One thing I did well: Exercising more minutes at one time in the morning. It takes three different activities, but almost 30 minutes daily in am.
    One thing to improve: “Allow” myself a few more calories to prevent night binges, more positive self-talk at nights.

    I'm lucky that I worked off lbs gained in the middle of the week, too many binges. So this week am going to really, really work on that night time. And work hard to get a loss!
    One day at a time.
    One moment at a time.
    JUST FOR TODAY!!

    (Repeat)

    @red1185 ~ Awesome loss and mindset. You're killing it! And you're welcome. Yes, encouraging all of you does help me.
    @jupdyke ~ Thanks! I got this! I'm going to push myself through what ever comes my way this week. Push through and exercise. I got this! Thanks for being an inspiration, too.
    @skullsandskeletons ~ Phew! You did it! Way to push through the rest of your week and holding yourself accountable. Awesome!
    @bhlavac5560 ~ Woooohooo! Not just on the loss, but being able to move more and walking everyday!! Great habits to develop! Keep those NSV near to the heart to keep the motivation and momentum going.

    What I did well: the more I lose, the easier it is to move, and while I still can’t run without wheezing, I walked every day.
    To do better: I need to plan better. I’m always scrambling to figure out dinner because I forgot to dethaw something. I don’t do quite Keto but it’s low carb based, and fresh food oriented. So, if I didn’t dethaw, it’s off to the store I go. It’s just inconvenient and opens me up to temptation.
