    5/27 – Today is probably the hardest work-out day of my challenge. The workout is basically 50 minutes of calisthenics, and I am going to die because I am already so sore! I really want to take one more rest day, but I know I need to push through it.

    ***5/26 – 132.4 – I was pretty good this weekend, only ate over my calories once and did all scheduled workouts.
    *5/27 – Today is probably the hardest work-out day of my challenge. The workout is basically 50 minutes of calisthenics, and I am going to die because I am already so sore! I really want to take one more rest day, but I know I need to push through it. DID IT!
    5/28 – 131.6 (YAY!) I slept through my alarm this morning, missed a call from my boss and have been behind all day. Hoping to recollect at noon, but my workout will have to be later this evening.

    May GW: get back to 70

    1. Get my snacking under control. I'm good with my three meals, but it is the inbetween and evening snacks that undo everything
    2. My May goal is exactly the same as the April goal, I'll keep on reporting here on a daily basis until I get to 70 again.
    3. Hopefully, we will get back to diving again somewhere this month, which burns calories like crazy

    38yo 167 cm (7m pospartum)
    W pre-baby: 74kg
    SW (January): 76.5kg (3m pp)
    CW: 69.7
    GW: 65kg
    GW May: 68kg

    1. Log food everyday.
    2. Walk 1h 5x week.
    3. Workout twice/week.
    4. Do a stretching session each week.
    5. Going back to work on the 11th after 8 weeks at home: try not to stress and enjoy our “new life”.

    9/05: 69.7kg
    Logged everyday and worked out twice, but only walked twice this week. I’ll try to go walking and do my stretch session this weekend. I’m going back to a small deficit this week: diet break is over.

    15/05: 69.7kg
    I’ve been stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks: last week I was eating at maintenance but this week was back to a small deficit. I hoped to lose something 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve worked out, logged cal, but I just went for a walk twice this week, instead of everyday like I used to. I know what I have to do...

    22/05: 69.7kg
    3 weeks at the exact same weight. I was afraid I would have gained a bit: I didn’t log on Sunday, didn’t work out... it was my first week back to work after lockdown is over and I didn’t have much time. A bit stressedout too.

    I’m not happy, but I know I have to increase my “calories out”. 3 weeks at the same weight! 😩

    29/05: 69.1kg
    Finally! I didn’t reach my May goal of 68kg, but I’m happy the scale is moving again. I think I managed to do quite good with goals 1, 3 and 5, but I didn’t do 2 and 4: I only walked 2-3 times a week and mostly didn’t do my stretching workout. April was great, May not so much... June is gonna be awesome 😊

    It might not show in the numbers yet, but I’ve set my mind to it, I feel I’m mentally getting stronger to get the job done ✅
    Yesterday was the perfect occasion for an icecream and I passed! For me, that says a lot 👍

    So as we close out May.How did everyone think they did? What worked? What did not work?

    Was I successful? I dunno. I managed to do the last 3 weeks with good eating (no craziness after dinner which is my downfall) I did not get sick which is one of the priorities. And my middle seems a lot let bloated. LOL. I don't like weighing daily because the spikes make me a little nutz but the data nerd in me likes to see trends. I also managed some days where I did not run and also did not go over. That's a biggy for me to accept.

    I am ending up in my maintenance range barely (+5 for me) but at the high end which always bugs me. Here is to a fantastic June for all of us. As always I look forward to the new month and what exciting ideas and goals everyone will have. Antiopelle, I haven't gone diving in many many years and would probably be more up for snorkling now but I do wish I could go waterskiing again. Just too lazy to try to put it all together with the boat right now.

    Let's launch my friends!

    Hello all,

    Great to see your progress and motivation!
    My goal is to get a jump on June:

    1) Log food daily
    2) PT exercises every day
    3) Lose the 5 lbs I gained this month
    4) Drink more water
    5) Stop eating snacks in front of TV

    CW 129.6
    GW 117

    Stay the course and best of luck to all.
