Goals: Logging my food consistently and honestly!
Update: I started meal prepping, this being my third week of it. I think it's really helping. While I'm not exercising as much, I'm really cracking down on the calorie restriction and I think that's the secret for me.2 -

June 5th:Fitness/Health Goals:
(a) get my daily 10k steps in – even on a weekend (or a rainy day)
(b) keep going with that “walking marathon distance on dedicated weekend walks with my pal (ca. 6miles per weekend)”
(c) am still tracking – it helps immensely
(d) struggle with taking the lunches very much. Have to keep going!
Feedback on last week’s Fitness/Health Goals:
(a) I only managed to get over my 10k steps 4 days last week but with a total of 63.343 steps (which is average of 9050 per day) – so I am happy with it. Still need to improve in general, but not too bad
(b) I walked around 10km in dedicated walks towards the “MyMarathon” – so bang on track
(c) was tracking all week apart from Saturday when we had friends over and homemade cocktails and deserts made by my friend – so really hard to judge the calories, I added Quick Added Calories to guesstimate but no real way of knowing how much it was in the end – just hope I wasn’t too far off. That’s the trouble with socialising ;-)
(d) I have been better bringing lunches in, but it always depends on the dinners we have the night before. Will eventually have to start and cook chicken purely for taking to work and thinking in advance of what to take – not just standing in front of the fridge in the morning wondering what to take.
New Fitness/Health Goals:
(a) get my daily 10k steps in
(b) keep going with that “walking marathon distance on dedicated weekend walks with my pal (ca. 6miles per weekend)”
(c) am still tracking – it helps immensely
(d) paying more attention to drinking more water
(e) planning food for evening/lunch a bit better
I really surprised to see that I did lose 1.5kg again in this second week, was expecting to have the first loss down to water weight, starting with walking and changes from “normal” eating to tracking / “dieting”! Really really happy about that! Would be lovely to keep it up, these 1.5kg per week less seem to be too good to be true though..1 -

Fitness/Health Goals: Continue strength training at least 4 days per week, in addition to completing some form of cardio every day during this challenge.
Update: My exercise has been great, but I need to get my diet back on track. I’ve been eating too many calories at night. That's always been a struggle for me.

Fitness/Health Goals: Continue to workout at least 5 days per week for at least 30 minutes per day. Also to stay within my calorie allotment for the day.
So I guess I failed big time at the "check in weekly part" of the challenge as listed by the OP. I apologize for that. I have however been coming in daily and reading how amazing everyone is doing. I am truly impressed and motivated by all the hard work going on here. As I had initially explained, I am not going to be weighing myself until the end of the challenge since I only weigh one time per month so as not to obsess on the number. Obsessing has made me give up way too early in the game before.
I am still working on the same goals as I posted above however at a much slower pace. I have an old knee injury that I aggravated by being way over zealous week 1 of owning my fitbit (4/14/16). It has taken me until now to get to the point where it feels decent enough most days. I am never without pain but I haven't been for the last 25+ years so it is all relative. I still wear my knee brace for any and all activity though. It seems to respond better.
I struggle with staying within my daily calorie goal. It is a work in progress. What I can say is I am eating WAY less than I did before I started this journey 4 months ago and the quality of the food intake is far better as well.
So we'll see what happens at my June 1st weigh-in and measure day!
Great work team!2 -
