Weekly Weigh In Challenge for June
Replies
-
Aside from anything fitness related, what are some of my hobbies?
- Ukulele (a mix of terrible Heart covers and 20s/30s jazz)
- Dancing (yes, it's fitness, but it's a huge part of my life)
- Listening to copious amounts of showtunes (currently obsessed with Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812)
- Journaling and drawing (my partner bought me a hobonichi that I use daily)
- Adult colouring books (I get the Lost Ocean colouring book when I hit 165 lbs!)
- Reading (Just finished The Windup Girl - highly recommended!)
- Writing (working on a few short stories that I'd love to turn into graphic novels eventually)
3 -
I have too young children so my hobbies include long walks to the bathroom and watching Paw Patrol. Lol5
-
My hobbies are Reading, movies, painting, board games and Karaoke at home.2

Some Hobbies:
Reading, Online computer games (nonviolent) - fave right now is Bush Whacker 2, Geocaching (though it is sort of fitness related if you do hiking with it), Karaoke (though I've not done it in a long while). Solving puzzles (word, number or jigsaw).2 -

This is the second month I do this. It was very helpful for me and several others during the month of May. It helped us keep accountable each week, and kept us pushing forward in our journey.
I was looking for something to keep myself accountable and thought I would give this a shot. I would like to do a weekly weigh similar to those done at weight watchers meetings. I would like a place where others can help keep me accountable of my journey. I would love it if you would join me in doing weekly weigh-ins for the month of June. We can post about goals, struggles and successes each week. Please copy and paste the following in the comment box and add your information each week. Hope some of you can join me.

Hello everyone!
I apologize for not posting yesterday but it was a very difficult day for me and i just needed time away from social media. It was my moms birthday and I went to my usual dark place. The good thing is this time around I didnt use food to comfort myself, I used exercise. Anyway here I am now catching up with you all. I hope you are all stayin strong.
Thank you to those who have kept going with me you keep me moving each day!
I will end with yesterdays and todays quesitons.
1. What is your must have workout accecory?
2. What are you biggest unhealthy weaknesses?1 -
1. My must have workout accesory has got to be 2 things...my Polar Heart Rate Monitor and my Fitbit. I have my fitbit on every day all day and all night...and my HRM I must have during every workout I do so I can have a more accurate number for my calories burned.
2. My biggest unhealthy weaknesses, hmmm that one is hard. I would say one of my weaknesses is my family...not like my husband and kids but my relatives...aunts cousins etc. Everytime Im with them I try so hard to eat healthy but they always guilt me into eating bad stuff. Another weakness for me is when my kids leave food on their plate. I hate to throw away food and so i finish off their plates. I need to learn taht I am not a trash can. I need to serve them less food so they dont leave any.3 -

Good Friday Morning everyone!! Here's my weigh in for this week...
Name: b3achy / beachy
Age: 51
Height: 5'3"
Starting Weight May 29th: 147.2 lbs (but was 146.2 lbs on 5/27, the week before 3 June)
Goal Weight July 1st: 140 lbs
Weigh In Week (I weigh in for record on Fridays, so I adjusted the days for Friday weigh ins)
June 3: 145.2 lbs C/W/H: 35"/30.25"/40.25"
June 10: 144.8 lbs C/W/H: 35"/30"/40"
June 17: 143.2 lbs C/W/H: 35"/29.5"/39.5"
June 24:
July 1:
Total LBS lost this week: 1.6 lbs
Total LBS lost this month: 3.0 lbs
Weekly Goals (no change):- Cardio at least 4 times a week / Strength training 1-2 times a week / Kettlebell 2 times a week
- Planking challenge daily / 24 hours in June challenge
- Eat within my macro ratios and under my calorie goal daily / Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily
- 7-9 hours of sleep per night
Struggles this week:- Still struggling with strength training (fitting any into my weekly workouts), getting enough sleep, and doing my planking challenge regularly
- Better food balance/control when I'm not completely controlling the meal preparation (had a crazy bad day of eating because I was sitting around 'snacking' with a friend)
- Getting a good workout when I can't go out to paddle. Walking and other exercises just don't seem to cut it in comparison
- Clearly, my scale has figured out my weigh in day is Fridays and continues to attempt to foil my "for record" weigh ins (I've been in the low 143's for the past three days, was sort of hoping to pop down into the high 142's today)
Successes this week:- NSV - fitting into even more clothes of smaller sizes than when I started (got into some 'small' shorts yesterday that were previously too tight to pull over my hips), tape measure victories / loss of inches.
- Much better with fruits and veggies this week
- Larger movement on the scale than previous weeks

So sorry you had a tough day @mariecela_moulin, but good for you in dealing with the sad day in a healthier way! I know how you feel, my Dad's birthday would have been last week (7th) and it was a melancholy day for me as well. (((hugs)))
1. What is your must have workout accessory?
I have two also:- My stopwatch (on my watch)
- www.geodistance.com - which I use to estimate my mileage since I don't use a fitbit or gps.
2. What are your biggest unhealthy weaknesses?- My personal expectations - thinking I should have a different number on the scale than what shows up
- Eating/drinking empty calories - I'm doing better because I want my numbers to be good, so I'm making healthier decisions (or at least planning for including them), but I still struggle with those desires for soda, candy, wine when I probably should be grabbing something more nutritious. At least I have been better at limiting their consumption since I started tracking my calories.
