Anyone fancy a June accountability challenge?

6/3-just get through the day calmly, no matter what comes my way. Vague, I know.0

Hope you have a nice calm day @zcb94 . Have you decided in your new goal?
I have done exercise everyday so far, but a 5am run was hard work this morning! I'm still not quite in the right routine and can't sleep any earlier than 11, but that's too late for getting up at 5. I need to be asleep by 10 really, which I'm sure I can do tonight as I'm exhausted!0 -

Awesome! No, not really. I'd love to try a thousand healthy goals: drink more H2O (tea, etc.), stretch more, meditate in accordance w/ my belief system, etc. Where to start!?0 -

Mother of pearl. Are you a man? I mean that seriously- cause I know how insanely hard it is for a woman to do pullups due to the muscle layout.
If you're a woman... MORE FREAKING POWER TO YA! If you're a man, also fantastic.

just to clarify i am a guy. i can do about 8 or 9 pullups for set #1. then i usually do sets of 5 or 6 reps. i just picked a number. i'll probably do more. but posting this will keep me from slacking off on them.0 -
6/4- get thru one more Dr.'s appointment w/out losing my marbles, LOL!0
-
6/5-drink more fluids.0

I haven't exercised today, but I've been so tired from work I fell asleep on the sofa as soon as I got home. I'm now getting ready for bed at 8:30 on a Friday... Rock and roll or what?!
Will make today my rest day instead of tomorrow and do a couple of runs this weekend. Problem solved
should make my 75km target this month! 0 -
Oh hey I'm super late but I think I'll join up!
My June goals are to...
[ ] Run Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday mornings
[ ] Start StrongLifts (has to wait until I get my ID card but AS SOON AS I DO)
[ ] Buy and USE a water bottle
Shouldn't be too hard, right?
Haha.
Ha.0 -
Ok, that was a flop. No real pain arrived for me to manage, although chronic flareups are normal for me. That's good, I guess.0
-
6/7-manage stress/anger healthfully.0
-
Ran another 5km (my fastest since being injured!) at the weekend but that's all I did. I felt completely exhausted, I think maybe I ate too little last week as a big burger seemed to fix me right up! So back to it today, hooping and some home fitness, then running again tomorrow buying new running shoes tonight, yay! 0
-
Monday of running a complete, no small thanks to this group! I said I'd do it but my alarm was too soft with the fans on. Good thing I spelt through it on an early day! But rather than giving up on my run I just ran after work. Thanks invisible pressure monkeys!0
-
No formal stretching accomplished but I fidgeted a little, so that helped. I'll just go ahead and post, before I forget, my goal tomorrow to do something about my constant illness-induced blues as of late. Wish me luck!0 -
6/9-like I said yesterday, deal with the gray cloud above my head lately.0
-
I have shin splints again (only the very slight ache at the moment, it's not really pain yet) so I'm stuck resting for a week. Just as I was getting good again, can't believe it! I've been so good to rehab after my last set of injuries
I'm hoping that I've caught it early this time and a week off will be enough. Grrrrr! 0 -
While not fully dissolved/away from me, I did get it to shrink a lot by chatting with family and doctor, and getting out into the sun intermittently. That's good news!6/9-like I said yesterday, deal with the gray cloud above my head lately.
I guess today's goal should be a continuation of that.
Sorry to hear that, Louubelle! :flowerforyou:0 -
Is it too late to join for the June challenge?
My goals are to:
1. Not snack after 9 pm.
2. Not snack in between meals. (Do you see a pattern developing??)
3. Try to walk at least 5,000 steps a day.
I have been trying to work on these goals for the last couple months, but it isn't working very well, hoping that posting on here will help keep me more accountable.0 -
Ugh. Fail! In fact, I think I feel worse. Stupid summertime blues!

Not a fail, it did lift for a bit! Don't beat yourself up
So I'm going back to it today, some light jogging with the kids (I'm a primary school teacher and we have cross country running today) and then some elliptical at the gym this evening. Got to earn some extra calories for the weekend!!

Was about 1,200 steps shy of my goal but did not snack at all in between meals or after 9 pm. While I'm happy about that, I know myself all too well...the first day is always good...if two weeks from now I can say I haven't snacked in between meals, then I will be really happy!!
Zcb94: I greatly admire how you are trying to keep positive in a trying situation! Keep it up! :-)
Louubelle16: Hope your shin splints heal quickly! Sounds like you have a fun day planned. Go for those extra calories! :-)0 -

You've got a point there. Still, illness as severe as mine was, combined with West Texas heat, will pop even the biggest joy-baloon!
What're you up to that would require extra calorie room? Sounds like fun!0 -
6/11-get thru home wound-care, stay cool despite the pre-summer heat wave we're having.0
-
Man, I keep forgetting to check in before bed! :ohwell: Yesterday was pretty much a success, as I beat the heat. Today, I realize that I should draw nearer to the best Source of joy, spending the day in praise of my God.0

Yesterday only got around 2,300 steps in yesterday.
I have an desk job so trying to get in 5,000 steps is a challenge! No snacking after 9. I did have one extra snack than I normally do, but I didn't raiding the fridge or pantry for anything in sight, so I'm ok with it.
Glad you had a successful day yesterday!Man, I keep forgetting to check in before bed! :ohwell: Yesterday was pretty much a success, as I beat the heat.
Always a good idea!Today, I realize that I should draw nearer to the best Source of joy, spending the day in praise of my God. "I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth" Psalm 34:1 There are so many things to praise God for!
