Congrats!3 -
I'm curious if you guys have any tips, tricks or rules to help with accountability and determination? I'll share a few of mine...
1. I created a workout that I call "The Minimum Effort" so that on days when I'm tired or feeling lazy, etc. I have a goto list to get rid of my excuses. Its always there, ready to go.
2. I find that getting in the right mindset for exercise is a challenge sometimes. I put on a 3ish min. video from the Fitness Marshall and it always turns me around for more motivation to do more.
3. I pre-plan my food with MFP and log in advance, that way I know I have all the ingredients and don't end up with only 50 calories for dinner. I adjust as needed for actuals.
I don’t know that I have any rules but every Sunday I pre log my food for the entire week. It really helps with keeping me on track. Right now my main exercising is walking so I do it in the mornings otherwise I would not do it at all.1 -

No matter if I'm doing things good or less good, the scale goes up often with no reason whatsoever and that makes me super cranky and sad at the same time. I go day by day losing a little amount of grams a day and them bum! I go up. And this time is two days in a row.
I am getting better at not letting the fluctuations in the scale bother me but it is something that has taken time. Scale fluctuations are part of the weight loss journey. Lots of time it could be due to eating a high sodium meal. Track the sodium In your meals and note if you get a jump in the scales after a high sodium day. This week I had an increase on the scales Sunday and Monday but I did have high sodium the days before. Make sure you are drinking lots of water also.2 -

A MFP friend told me of this YouTube site. I thought this may help everyone not just those in the jump rope challenge.

For 6/2:
Steps-20,865
Jump Rope-5 minutes
60 seconds is still my longest streak. I'm going to try building on it tomorrow and through the next week. Sore legs today-so I'll be happy to just get two minutes in short intervals🙂.2 -

Have to stay focused on my eating3 -
My weight for this week (and beginning weight for June) is: 171.3.
May ended up not being much of a loss on the scale, but my clothes have been fitting so much better. For June my goals are: Check in every day, drink less, and lose 5 pounds.
Hope you are all doing well!5 -

Way to go!
That puts you well into the lead with 18 minutes. Will anyone catch you??? I’ll probably have to try again next week. It’s so hard!

Ugh, my first week that I was up in weight! My goal is going to be to re-evaluate everything I've logged for the past week and see what changes I can make to get the ball rolling downhill again!
