    Hi I am Sandra, and I live in Richmond, Virginia. I've recently rejoined the YMCA and have started body sculpting classes (aiming for twice a week) and the couch to 10K program. Another thing new I've started is riding bikes on the Virginia Capitol Trail with my husband on weekends, when the weather cooperates.

    I've enjoyed being a part of this team, though have gotten way off track this past month.

    My Current Weight on Saturday, 6/27 (which I am sorry that I forgot to post) is 144.

    This week my goal is to track everything exercise and diet, even those hard to estimate dinners, which seems to be my sticking point, and no glasses of wine except for the weekend.

    @richmondwriter 😲 no wine?!?! 🍷 Can't you find something ELSE to give up??

    LOL--don't worry, I'll still have it on the weekends.

    Richmondwriter MUAC for 6/28:
    Tracked: Yes
    Under: No (-32)
    Exercised: Yes, couch to 10K (even though I've been on week 3 for 3 weeks)

    I am going to start tracking my food diary breakdowns, as I know I need to eat more protein. Today it was 38% carbs, 42% fat, 20% protein. The protein shake helped today.

    Holy ****!! I had no idea that the July Challenge had started....didn't June just begin, like yesterday??? (I guess I really have been gone awhile!)

    Okay, after a rough week and half/two weeks, I think I am back. I am able to go back to work in my very limited part time capacity, but that is all I need, to have some human interaction. I did not buy cookies at the grocery store, so that is also a step in the right direction. My husband and I received two social invitations for July over the weekend; My sister wants to have a family barbecue and my BIL invited us to the cottage. It is amazing what having something to look forward to does for one's mental well-being!!

    I feel like such a schmuck....I have two solid months, so I figure it's a good time to come back to TBBT. And then before we even reach the halfway mark, I flake! But, that is in the past....nothing I can do about that now. Time to look forward.

    Good thing I had a great Sunday.....so I can start July on the right foot.

    logged: yes
    under: yes
    exercise: yes, a 30 minute walk and 23 minutes of beginner strength
    water: yes, 10 cups
    steps: 13,982
