Sunday - weights day - increased load; really pushed myself.
Monday - I failed to get to the gym because I was still exhausted and sore from weights. (Don't want to overtrain and do harm so decided to rest instead.)
All other nutritional and sleep goals met.
Tuesday - biking - still wasn't feeling it, but husband dragged me out into nature for mountain biking, where surprisingly, I totally rocked the trails! Now going to try @Sairzie's relaxing bath idea and see how my sore muscles like that! Also, the extra calorie burn means I'm going to bake some peanut butter cookies! Best part about exercising: surplus calories!!!
Wednesday - Incline walk on treadmill. Hope I can handle it. I've been going pretty hard lately...

I really pushed myself today and I'm already feeling quite sore, so I've vetoed my planned trail run for tomorrow morning. I'll just hike instead. If I take my elderly dogs along it will be more like a rest day, so that's my new goal for tomorrow: "Resting" slowly along the trail with my old dogs.
@jenilla1
I LOVE how your rest day is still very active!!! I can't wait to be physically where you are!!!
How'd your rest go?? Lol
This is the first time I've been able to log into the forums in days. It's been locked up for me, but they fixed it and I'm back. Glad so many people were on here getting things done while I was out!
The rest went well. Since then I've been biking and hiking and doing weights as usual. On Friday I had my first mountain biking crash of my adult life. I've been doing this for a few years now with no incidents. I wasn't paying attention, running my mouth on the trail as usual, and hit a boulder while going up a steep incline. So I forgot what brakes are for and slid back down the hill, and crashed in slow motion. It was a soft fall with a surprisingly comfortable landing. It was way less traumatic than I expected it would be. I have some bruises and scrapes but I'm not sore at all! Now that I've gotten that first crash out of the way, I guess I'm ready to get crazy on the trail!
Today is weights day!
@jenilla1 YOU HAD ME LITERALLY LOL!!! WITH THAT PICTURE!
at first I was concerned :
, then dying laughing!!! 
I'm happy you're alright
I've been m.i.n.a. (missing in non-action). I worked out only the one day, but I was getting a lot of steps in so I guess that's not too bad. I'm going to make it up the next 3 days to make my goal of 4 days. Why do I always wait for the last minute. Smh... 1 -

I recently read somewhere that procrastination is NOT laziness. It is simply a fear of taking action. It's common among perfectionists. Sometimes we'd rather not do anything than risk not doing it just right. It helps to think of this mantra: "Good enough is good enough." Don't over-think it. Even if things aren't perfect, just getting something done is better than doing nothing and feeling bad about it!
Glad you're getting your steps in! 1 -
Met most goals for the past few days:
Sleep and protein goals met.
Didn't get weights done, but instead did incline treadmill on Wed. and Thurs., then Fri. was mountain biking. Swimming in sister's pool tomorrow. Feeling lazy...0 -

Love "getting something done is better than doing nothing and feeling bad about it" !! Such a good way to look at something, especially with exercise and food goals!2 -

@jenilla1
Thank you for your response. I know that I am a perfectionist and that's why I can't attempt things some times but it is always nice to get a reminder that GOOD ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH!! I should get a tattoo with this mantra.
PS... I'm still laughing at that picture. 1 -

Didn't get weights done, but instead did incline treadmill on Wed. and Thurs., then Fri. was mountain biking. Swimming in sister's pool tomorrow. Feeling lazy...
Update on Today's Goal: Swimming went well, and while I was over there, I snagged the last of the apples and some peaches from her fruit trees...Eating some of the apples (they are small but delicious) with a little freshly ground honey roasted peanut butter right now.
Tomorrow's Goal: Weights Day and weeding the back yard.0 -
Saturday goals:

Sunday:

Yesterday I wasn't home and ate out... I chose healthier options but then decided to also get some fries and then a lot of chocolate. And I didn't do any workout. So today is a reset and hopefully I can have willpower over myself today. Bring healthy is still hard for me

Today we have a church dinner, so just staying within my calories, drinking my water, and fitting in a walk.
To reach that I made foods I can count to take.
It's more about the fellowship than the food!1 -
Goals for today...
Watch less TV while sitting on my butt.
Finish my exercise goal (harder than I thought these days)
Skip the snack before bed.2 -

I felt crappy today and slept most of it away, so no weeding got done. Too hot for that anyway...will reschedule when it gets back down out of the 90's again. But at least I got my weights done, so it wasn't a total loss.
Monday goal: Some sort of cardio at the gym.0 -

Didn't happen. This has been the worst year ever for my allergies - which I never had up until a few years ago - and I think I'm developing asthma. I used my allergies and the beastly hot weather as an excuse to do nothing. So either I go to the 24 hour gym in the dead of night (which I sometimes do) or I will go for an early morning hike in the hills tomorrow. We'll see... 1 -
Monday:
-arm and butt challenge ✅
-no chocolate chips- nope
-healthy lunch- sort of
Tuesday:
-arm and butt challenge
-some sort of dedicated cardio
-limit overall fat intake
Trying to be good but it's been a lackluster couple of days!
