@Bemybestby60 Great choice on after dinner munching!
@AmbersWay I’m sorry to hear about that headache, hoping it’s starting to go away. You got this, keep up the great work!
@trooworld That seems unfair you can’t hang out during the work party because you have too much work to do, I hope you’re able to hang out a bit longer than planned!
@DJill68 Prayers for your FIL, that sounds like an incredible meeting coming up in August! What’s Thrive, Thrive Market? Sorry if I sound stupid, I Googled it and a lot of different businesses came up.
@micaroo4 Way to go, two great exercises to pick!
Hi team! I did arm strength and stretching then went to the greenhouse and started a bunch of stuff (lettuce, sunflowers, watermelon, butternut squash, delicata squash, and cucumbers) then stopped at the farm to drop off the seeds, everything’s looking great there and a lot of squash and zucchini are ready to be harvested. Worked most of the day and did some mulching and caught up with a few people. I think for my July 4th challenge I’m going to focus on using proper body mechanics. Have a great Thursday!

@trooworld I hope you got your project in and had time to enjoy the party.
@DJill68 prayers for your Fil. Glad you’re doing better now.
@micaroo4 congrats on doing strength training. I started at 1 kg weights and giggled at the idea but they wore my arms out. Before this recent sickness I was up to 4kg. I may go back to 2 now and work my way back up. I’m cheering for you.
@Katmary71 you did amazing at the farm. Great calorie burn. I wanted to tell you I shared Sydney vids with friends, thank you again.

I did WI in today to see how things are going. I’m down .4 and that was a surprise. I hope this is a good sign I may start losing again. It definitely gives me some pep.
Kids and furry family are all doing well. My son got a surprise award for being batch leader (his 3rd year) at a ceremony he attended. Thankfully one of my daughters friends is also in med at his uni and caught a video of it for us. I’m so proud of him. A FB memory popped up the other day of us discussing my health issues (botched surgery and the crisis that ensued) and he said, had that not happened he may not have chose medicine. I pray he takes everything he learned from caring for me, how I was mistreated and how I almost didn’t make it and uses it to be the best doctor ever. Ok I’m an emotional mess and will stop here. Thanks for reading. I’m just so proud of my children.
In other news, it’s getting hot and I’m meeting a new friend of a friend tomorrow and that should be great fun.
Have a great day everyone 💐3 -
Hi, been reading all the posts, but not posting myself. Not much going on, and I just keep on struggling with the same issues with my health/weight. Can be pretty much summed up by saying "I can't get my act together".
Got back to exercise this week. Finally tracked a whole day and stayed under calories yesterday.
Thanks for starting a challenge- I needed one.
My goal is to be mindful of hunger vs desire to eat. It's something I've fallen out of practice with and would like to get better at it again.

May 10 weigh-in was 186 lbs
May 17 weigh-in is 187 lbs
May 24 weigh-in is 193 lbs
May 31 weigh-in is 187.5 lbs
A summary of my month of May. Gaining 5 lbs overnight is not unusual unfortunately losing 5lbs overnight is not so easy. I have always known my eating habits are governed by my emotions. I have to ask myself why and understand the triggers. blood pressure ✔️ ✅️ ☑️2 -

@DJill68 I'm glad you are feeling better. I've neve heard of Thrive...what is it? I'm sorry about the news of your FIL's cancer metastasizing. How exciting about the 1st son...I recently met family I connected through on Ancestry and it was amazing.
@Katmary71 Guess what? I got my project done in the morning and was able to hang out! That was both good and bad. More on that later. I'm glad things are going well for the farm. That sounds like a good focus for you.
@AmbersWay Thanks! Yay for a loss! It's invigorating when you see a loss, isn't it? Congrats to your son! That's a silver lining out of the medical problems. Your children sound wonderful and you should be proud. I hope you have fun with your new friend!
@Cornanda I know how you feel. That's how I feel, too. I hope the challenge helps you. That's a great goal for the challenge.
@Bemybestby60 Congrats on the loss! Wow, that picture is pretty.
Hi all. I was able to finish my project by the time the party started so I enjoyed socializing and some nibbles. It was nice but cold and gray outside and the food was mostly summery foods: ice cream, Hawaiian shaved ice, and Nothing Bundt cakes. I didn't have the shaved ice but I had the other stuff. Day 2 of tracking everything.
4th of July challenge: tracked 100% of what I ate

I'll take it! Honest tracking and a little exercise seems to be working....a long way to go but I'm moving in the right direction!7 -
Good morning Slims.
I know it has been awhile since my last check in. I re injured my hamstring and sleep has been non existent this last couple of weeks. I was hanging on by a thread with tracking and eating but last night I went totally off the rails😞. Today is a new day and new month and a good time to start again. I promise once I don’t ache so bad and can can get some sleep I will get back to checking in in a more regular basis6 -
For the July challenge, I would like to go outside for at least 30 minutes per day. If left to my druthers I would just stay inside the house in my climate-controlled environment. Being outside is good for me and its good for the yard too.4

Hi team, love seeing all the new posts! I'm about to leave for a board meeting at Dairy Queen and wanted to drop in and say hi first. I did leg strength and stretching then had my permanent bridge put in and went to Trader Joe's. I had a meeting with the charity president that fell through but we still have the board meeting, I'll be over by about 500 calories but better than 1000 if I got fries and chicken strips too! I helped our vice president who is also the garden club vice president get a last-minute speaker, we have a group called The Petal Connection that grows (at the food bank farm) and makes bouquets and takes them to retirement homes and hospitals for people and the grower and I chat a lot at the farm, he's a horticulturalist and figured he'd be full of great flower advice for the garden club. I have said that's the coolest club I've ever been in, right? OK gotta get my stuff and run, have an awesome Friday if I don't drop back in later!

I'm ashamed to be posting this weight gain. Last week I did so well with eating and did great with steps.
This week, with the long weekend and everything I'm in shambles, again.
It's a brand new week and I need to remember that I have done this before and I can do this, again.
On a more positive note. Here's a little cuteness for all of you.

@DJill68 sorry to hear about your FIL’s cancer. Though the family reunion sounds like something he would keep fighting for. That will be so exciting for him.
@Cornanda I get what you say about getting your act together. I have days I’m doing well and other days I want to eat a bag of chips and wash it down with giant slurpee. Focus on what you are doing well and make small changes as you can.
Well last bday done for about a month or more. Sunday weigh in will be the truth, but I feel I was well behaved. Haven’t done any running for awhile. I had that cold this week-it’s still lingering in my chest now, and now we are in a heat wave. I am not too comfortable running in 30C/90F weather in my poor shape. It cooled down nicely tonight but it is too late to go now. Manitoba weather is so bipolar.
Signed my oldest up for driver’s ed yesterday, but he won’t start until late fall. It’s a gong show to register around here so you have to be quick. I’m excited for him, but sad my oldest is growing up, which means I’m getting older too. I like to think of myself as one of the cooler moms though 😁. I can lay down the slang with the teens. Low-key no cap. I be bussin’. Haha!3 -

This is pretty random, sorry if I missed some important news-
@DJill68 - sorry to hear about your FIL cancer
@laurelfit57 - I hope you feel better- that sounds yucky
@Katmary71 - that IS the coolest club ever. You keep on keeping on girl!
@DrewsAnna - thank you for the cuteness!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Yay! So exciting for you!
@sleepygirl79- Lol- your slang is funny. Hope you like white knuckles while you drive with him this fall.
I partially tracked several times this week- mostly giving up in frustration when I could not stay under my cals. Then I was very careful for two days- telling myself to wait a little longer before eating and amping up the veggies to keep myself full. Came in slightly under both days. Yeah! Getting back up to speed with exercising too. Now to hold things together over the weekend.

@tfelts147 Great job!
@laurelfit57 I'm so sorry to hear this. This is a great time to start fresh. I hope sleep gets better for you. Hugs!
@FushiaKat Great idea for the challenge. I stay inside, too much myself.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I hope he comes on his own.
@Katmary71 Sounds like a busy day. Good job planning the Dairy Queen visit. Have a great day!
@DrewsAnna New day, new week, new month! Perfect time to start anew. Aww, the kitties are adorable! What a pretty mommy. And I love the rug.
@sleepygirl79 I hope you get over your cold soon. I don't think there is a June thread yet, they will post here when there is.
@Cornanda My husband told me to just track everything I ate and not worry about changing anything yet, just get a baseline. That took the guilt out of tracking unhealthy things. Congrats on tracking and being under! Yay for exercise!
Hi all. I lost a pound and I can only attribute that to beginning to track again. I hope you all have a great Friday.

Just popping in to say hello! All is ok here. Been busy this week getting ready to head to Silver City, NM for a couple of days on Monday. Our 27 yr anniversary is Monday. I think I am in need of some reboot time. I have been having such a hard time with myself I really hope this time away will help recharge my soul.
I will check back for the June thread.
Have a good day everyone!5 -
Looking forward to get started. Just looked at the June Spreadsheet, and it has my weigh-in day as Tuesday. I had requested Wednesday - can this be changed?3

I have a loss this week because I was doing some fasting. The fasting was not for the purpose of weight loss, but to reduce some inflammation.2 -
