0/3 pass days.
Tracked logged exercised. Completed a short workout with my 4kb medicine ball at one point I felt like a fool on the floor but I kept going! My son looked at me like really mom?? I told him that maybe I could get a “6” pack when this month was done!! I did continue to move through some of the easier exercises and finished off with spin and a nice roller massage ahhhh now let’s see what 8/2 brings my net carbs were over my total carb count by 1.76 -

CONGRATS 🎉🍾 to all those in the Winner's Circle for July! Huge Kudos to you all!
@donna25trinity @thabit11 , and @ashleycarole86 Great additional monthly goals! 🥂 Here's to a brand new month and starting over!
@SummerSkier I totally get it about WFH during this "spike" in cases! I'm going to check and see if I can do that as well. Just when I thought things were starting to get better. Ugh.
@Geneveremfp Excellent first day! Woot!! Mindfulness Meditation is an excellent goal as well!4 -
Yes, yes and yes
Glad to be back on track after traveling.
Goal for August is to settle into my normal healthy routine with minimal deviations.7 -
@WhatMeRunning Your stats are always very inspiring!! Great first day!
@mshawski At first, your post had ME confused! I thought, "wait, what?" Lol. You must have a lot going on! My DH who has recently retired, is ALWAYS confused about what day it is. It seems that almost everyday he'll say "gosh, this seems like a Friday to me", and I always have a wise crack for him..... EVERYDAY seems like Friday to him!
I hope you get it sorted out!
@TwistedSassette I know the feeling. There have been many times that I have had to MAKE myself get up and take those first steps.... because I certainly didn't want to! Eventually I'm very glad that I did it. 3 -
@lesdarts180 I'm glad that you're able to have such fun with your little "non-swimmers!" They certainly don't stay little very long!
@snowshoe072 Your medicine ball slams never cease to fascinate me! Your arm strength must certainly be increasing!
@Healthymumlife You're here, and you're posting! That's awesome! The rest will come! 3 -

Logged?-yes7 -
Okay, first timer here. Good luck everyone!!! Let's Go!
1. Exercise: Yes, went to Planet Fitness and did a Nike Running App Fartlek on the treadmill. It was tough.
2. Tracked Calories: Yes. I find the logging super annoying, but I did it.
3. Under Calories: Yes, way under as usual.
Goals:
1. Diet: Just continue pushing along with my diet. I am pretty satisfied with what I have been doing, and I hope the scale rewards me tomorrow. Last Monday was a little discouraging.
2. Running: Continue to push with my running using the Nike Running App guided runs. My goal is to end the month with a 4 mile run. I am going to attempt the distance for the first time on Tuesday, but don't think I am physically there yet, so I will accept some walking recovery along the distance.
3. Other exercise: Continue at Planet Fitness with my weight circuit 2-3 times per week. Continue 3x1 minutes daily planks. NEW: Be able to do 5 correct push ups by the end of the month...now to figure out how to get there.

Aug 1:
C✔️ T✔️ E✔️
PASSES USED: 0/3
Net carbs <25%? Yes. 11%
Protein >100g? Yes. 107g.
Yoga. Yes.
Kettlebell. Rest Day.
12k steps daily? (I'll report my total steps for the day before). Yesterday I had 11,828 steps.
For August, I'm going to keep track of my net carbs and protein as well. You can see by my stats above what parameters I'm shooting for. My exercise plan is to walk and do yoga daily, and then do the kettlebell workout on MWF. On my "rest" days (from kettlebell) I'll be doing planks, counter pushups, and core exercises for now. I'll take a real rest day on Sundays (except yoga and walking!)
I asked DH to please hide the zuchinni bread that he made earlier in the week. I just can't walk by it every time I walk into the kitchen and NOT want a piece! 7 -
@clutterqueen Terrific job!
@stella7x7 I'm sorry that you weren't feeling very well today. I hope that you feel better SOON! 🤗
@bradkcrew Awesome first day! Fantastic "extra" goals too! 5 -
Congrats to everyone for checking in during July!! I'm looking forward to incorporating more strength training in August. Yes, yes, yes.2

Thank you @Mrs_Hoffer! Meanwhile, I'm inspired by you all...
* Love the mindfulness approach @Geneveremfp. Are you using an app, podcast or something specific?
* @mshawski Please don't think I wasn't drooling over your spreadsheet the other day. I was trying to be chill about it but actually --> 🤩
* Happy, happy birthday @brisingr86 🥳
* Let's chase these abs under our sons' ridicule together @snowshoe072
* Welcome to the group @bradkcrew. My mother swears by the Nike Running app because she find the audio guides funny. Apparently, there's a quirky British guy as one of the options.
Last full day of my mom's visit saw a bunch of family members helping her older sister (my aunt) move items into basement storage. A good time was had by all 😌

@SModa61 Like you, today is a new day and we will start showing our house this week. This is also a week that includes a 3 day family reunion. Food is the center of the family get together. I look forward to staying within the boundaries for 2 of the 3 days. Saturday will be impossible to track.
As for today, it was a beautiful and unusually cool summer day.
Calories: below my limit
Exercise: active stretching for 21 minutes and more than 2.5 hours of active walking and carrying everything from 40 pound bags of salt to a bucket of water.
Tracking: good
