    New challenge for me:

    To work out how to use the 'hoola-hoop' that is leaning dustily against my bookcase and make it more than just a puzzling back-drop for online-meetings :)

    6/19-6/21:
    Water was good to finish out the weekend but a few adult beverages snuck in there Friday night.
    Calories/macros: Sunday spiraled with junk food making me feel bad about the whole weekend. Not sure what the trigger is besides total boredom. I normally am pretty active so once in a while doesn’t hurt but on these hot weekends I’m not doing as much. Trying to work it all out in my brain, balance the activity without being crazy about it and stop eating things I know I don’t need.

    Saturday was on-plan and exercise
    Sunday was on-plan but didn't manage it
    Sunday was also emotionally draining thanks to family trouble.

    Today is another day in Pandemic 2020. :unamused:

    Three weeks into the month and I have exceeded my bicycle goal of 400km!! I am slightly behind on my step goal of 400,000 but am feeling confident I can make it by the end of the month. Still struggling with the call to binge on (low carb) sweets but trying to stay focused on being active and strong, just keep climbing back onto the wagon! Have a great week everyone, stay safe!

    6/24

    Squats - 5x5 @ 115lb
    Bench - 4x5 @ 75lb - 1x3 @ 75lb ( :( )
    BB Row - 5x5 @ 85lbs

    Getting to the point in lifting where even the slightest imperfection in form causes stress on muscles it's not meant to stress, specifically in my lower back.

    6/22-6/24:
    Haven't been able to log in via the phone so I had to jump on the computer to add some updates.
    Water intake could have been better this week. Still working on staying hydrated daily. No foot cramps so I am heading in the right direction.
    Calories/Carbs: it has been a carb heavy week for me (about 100-125 total grams per day). Not sure why I keep going down this path but I'm feeling it in my joints and stomach. I need to get back to my mostly carnivore days to feel better in general and maybe shed this fluff around my middle.

    Water- just okay for the day. Had plenty of other liquids but want to focus more on just H2O.
    Calories/macros: had a good calorie day but carbs were higher due to a sushi lunch. Back to lowering those addictive carby things today.

    Water👍🏻
    Calories/macros: a bit over on calories but did well on keeping carbs to a minimum. One day is not a trend!

    I'm not jumping in late for this month. I'm jumping in early for next month. Lol.

    Today - Starting up low carb again with keto meal plans and a grocery list. I wanted to finish up some passion fruit juice so today probably won't be a keto day but the rest of the day I'll try to stick to it for my meals.

    They always say "don't start monday start today", but sometimes you need to make a game plan and do groceries first.

    Water:👍🏻
    Calories/carbs: a bit over on calories but I tried to listen to my body, not my mind. I had a strong sugar craving after dinner but refused to partake. Got on the scale for the first time in a while and have put on some pounds so I’m not feeling great about that. So much for jumping in during June- I went the wrong way! But I am rethinking my eating habits recently and want to try some different things to avoid the over eating I’ve been doing. Guess it has been harder than I thought to be at home full time so I’m going to have to figure out ways to distract myself and keep hubs from influencing me to eat poorly. Of course the choice is mine so I’ll be working on getting a handle on that too.

    Calories/carbs: rest day for me so I was super lazy. Kept the calories in check but ate a few more carbs than I ordinarily would.

    This week will be a challenge in and of itself as I’m off work so I don’t have that as a distraction during the day. I feel some adult beverages coming on but I should be able to manage alright.
