Onderland! I am so excited I could cry. It has been 20 years since I have been lower than 200 pounds. My treat to myself for reaching this goal is a pedicure. I am going to make an appointment today. I now have to pick a new short term goal.
I haven’t walked yet this morning. Coffee was my first necessity this morning. I will get it in later today.
Happy Friday!

Yesterday was a pretty lazy day for me. I did get out and walk a quick loop near my place. I slept like a log last night and even woke up 40 minutes later than usual. I was shocked when I look at the clock. I was pretty tired when I went to bed so that may have been a factor.
It was cooler this morning and I went for a walk about an hour after I woke up. The humidity is starting back up this afternoon and we are in for some brutal heat the next week. Glad we have air conditioning.
My granddaughters are sleeping over again tomorrow night. I have set a precedent of ordering takeout every time they come over since the pandemic. I have to stop this as they are coming over often now. I am getting them pizza tomorrow night. Pizza is a trigger food for me but I have to learn how to mange being in those situations.
Have a great Thursday all!

Got your steps in. You know I never want to eat pizza. It’s never a craving and I will never ask for it but when the damned thing is in front of me I can’t stop eating. 🍕 I’m glad you got to get a good rest in. I think you must have really needed it.Have you tried the 2-ingredient pizza dough? It uses 0-fat greek yogurt and flour. Top that with red sauce, low fat mozzarella, onion, mushrooms and turkey pepperoni and you have a great alternative to take out pizza. Easy to make and might be a fun activity depending on the kiddos ages. I was craving pizza and didn't want to take the hit of take out calories so I was glad I found this option.
such a great idea! Do you have the measurements for those 2 ingredients?888Angie888 wrote: »Steps 6/24: 21,357

Have you tried fathead dough? I cannot eat gluten and this helps me a lot.2 -

Well. Yet another gain for the month putting me UP 3.6 lbs for June. I don’t get it. I’ve been working out consistently. My intake has been decent and I’m drinking all the water. I’m back at the gym and started logging all my food again making sure I stay under. I got myself back on IF this past week as well. I seriously don’t know what’s going on. It doesn’t make sense.
I hope next month is better. 😔
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

JULY STEP CHALLENGE
Hello Downsizers!! Our July Step Challenge will be starting tomorrow, Sunday June 28th through Saturday Aug 1st!
We will continue on our step challenge as we’ve done for June.
Our goal is to keep ourselves moving As best we can 🚶🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️. No excuses!! There are so many different walking/workout videos on YouTube. Many of us can get ourselves outdoors for walks or runs and others have backyards they can use to get those steps in. Or simply move that coffee table out the way and walk in place while watching your favorite movie or TV show.
Our challenge this month is to get our 10,000 steps in daily OR make it our goal to reach by the end of the month! Those of us who are already at 10,000 steps daily let’s set ourselves bigger goals. Let’s see if we can beat our TOTAL last month as a team! Every step counts!!
To join the step challenge, just let me know you want to join by tagging me on a post using @mari_moulin.
I will need you to then post your steps daily to make it easier for me to keep up with them on the spreadsheet. Let’s go steppers!!

JULY SELF CARE CHALLENGE
Hello Downsizers!! Your team captains have been discussing ways to keep activity up within our team and have found a little self care challenge we could try.
We would love to hear how you did with each daily self care challenge. Post in here how you did, what you did, how you did it and even share a picture or two.
Staying healthy and fit is not always about food and exercise but also about our mental and emotional health. Take some time for yourself. Remember, SELF CARE is NOT SELFISH ❤️
