    Good morning Team and happy Tuesday. I’m having a bit of a sluggish week so far. I’m still up the 0.8 from the weekend and I think my mood and weight have to do with the fact that it’s TOM for me. I couldn’t bear the thought of going out for a run so I’ll be doing my jumping fitness again today and I also have Zumba class tonight.

    I’m gonna go down and empty out some boxes in the basement this afternoon. I hope that I can get more things to the dumpster this week. I’m hoping to get some shopping done today as well. Wishing you all a wonderful day ❤️

    I have set any specific goals for June. I'm doing the step challenge and 2 magic numbers this week. Is it better to set a daily goal or a monthly goal?

    I always set both weekly and month goals.andnlike Linda, my weekly goals usually help me achieve my bigger monthly goals.

    I set an alarm and after several leg slaps and a couple breath breaks I jumped rope for 10 minutes. I'm not sure how to monitor total time jumped. I did several counts of 30 with a few at almost 40. My short term goal is to do 60 jumps without a break and then on to 10 minutes non-stop. Eventually I would like to learn double-unders.

    Wow 10 minutes! You are in it to win it!! I’m very bad at jumping rope. I’m having to start again after only a few seconds constantly so I’m sure I’m doing more than what I’m actually counting. I think I’m going to do like you now and just jump as much and as best I can for a certain number of minutes.

    Wow! What an amazing loss this week! Well done 👍🏻
    Check-in Day: Monday, 6/1
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: 98 minutes (Walk/Run with Zombies, Run! C25K; short walk around the apartment, and 30 Day Shred level 1, day 1)
    Water: 120 oz
    Steps: 10,300

    The day was pretty good, but my mood is still staying a bit down for some reason. Yesterday was a crash day for me. I barely got out of bed. Today I have been active throughout the day but felt a bit sleepy. I'm trying to get my sleep schedule sorted out in preparation for classes in a couple of months. I did not do any work today other than working on my body, mostly because I woke up late cutting out a couple of hours from my day. I will try to be active in the morning as I am donating platelets tomorrow afternoon.

    I love doing C25K. I’ve completed the program 3 times but have tried over 10 times lol. I’ve also done zombie run but stopped because you have to wait a long time for the episodes if you don’t pay for the full app. I hope you find yourself with more energy as the week continues. Don’t be too hard on yourself and just do the best you can each day.
    Oof. Did a 4 mile walk followed by 3 minutes of jump rope and 3 minutes of planks. 🥵😴

    Yes! 💪🏻 well done. You went full on beast mode!

    That’s very impressive! Keep going and you will be doing the 10 minutes non stop before you know it.

    Monday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 81 minute walk
    Water: ✅

    Steps 6/1 11,639

    I never got out for my walk this morning. I was up last night with a cough and I didn’t get up until late. Today my chest is really tight and I am all stuffed up. I am also very drained. This combined with the fact I have been nauseous for several days I am going to stay in until I feel better. If I get some energy later today I will walk indoors.

    I am really impressed with everyone’s efforts this week. You all rock!

    Today’s goals
    1. rest up and feel better
    2. Drink 8 cups of water
    3. Stay within calorie goal
