My jump in for June ..... Jump back on that waggon! I fell off a long time ago, now is the time to get back to it.
My goal for June is consistent logging....I will look at numbers next month
Love it!! I'm totally copying this!! I'd love to be back on the wagon buddies!
I'm using the two concerts I'm going to this summer as incentive. Sylvan Esso on the 14th of this month...So June is totally my back on track kickstarter.
Beck is August 16th...My goal is to be under 200lbs by then (currently back up to 212)...My ex is gonna be there, so that's all the more reason to keep it together in case I run into him.1 -
Workouts are not my problem.
My June goal will be keto every day, not taking any weekends off. I'm still recovering from Memorial Day weekend eating and drinking.
Edited to add: My hardest goal for June - Stay off the scale. I'm not weighing myself again until July 1.5 -

Heh, that's how I've been, and I was way off plan on Memorial Day too.
I'm going to weigh on Saturday and not again 'til the end of the month.2 -
I love you guys so much, y'all motivate me to get my *kitten* going!
#FWFGJune2017 is all under 20 minutes. If I can't spare 5 minutes to do yoga in the morning, we have a problem kids.
Keep working on my Zombies, RUN! C25K program. I forgot how much I enjoy it so I'm gonna shoot for three "runs" a week. I put together some fun tracks to keep the OMG I'M BORED away. My husband can watch tv while he runs, me? Not so much.
I got our "basement" (we're in a split level) cleaned up and all of our equipment organized so I want to get strength training in another 3 days a week. I have some great posters printed out so I don't have any excuses.
I got my Onederland goal a day late but I'm still gonna count it. Next goal is 190.
LET'S DO THIS!!!!!5 -
I think I'm going to copy the no weigh in goal this month too. I'll weigh tomorrow and then put the scale away until July.

making it through the camping trip with no 'cheats' and still on plan.3

My goals:
Stay on plan.
Stay in a state of measurable ketosis (blood ketones) - in this i know my glucose is in control.
Start walking again so i can finish this damn 28hr audiobook i downloaded....in my lifetime.
Take my meds and supps consistently. Funny thing about brain fog....you forget stuff. Now where was I......

No food tracking for the month.
11,153 steps.
50 step jacks
50 kick backs
50 half squat walks
25 half wipers
Finished the rock wall in the garden and moved some plants around. 1 -
Stayed on track today. Some cravings, but not too bad. Cheat type foods are not in the house, and that makes it easier.
Trying to think of this challenge for June, but also trying to use the summer as a longer term rehab of the future lifestyle.
Including, weight loss to goal, establishing maintenance and a workable activity routine.
I'm backing off of social things a bit for now, while I give myself time to regroup and start feeling better about myself again, and getting back to my daily habits and hobbies that seem to fall by the wayside when I get in a relationship. Then, in the fall try going out again.
But for June, it's all about getting back on track with keto and weight loss.
Really that is what I want the most right now. To be able to trust in myself and my choices again, instead of flapping along in the wind at the beck and call of my exaggerated emotional machinations.
Sick of that.
Very happy today went as planned.3 -
6/2: Trail run2
-
I am starting back on keto after being off for a while.Since I'm starting out again,I want to keep my goal simple. Keep under 30 net carbs everyday. Ideally I want to be under 20 but I think this is a good starting goal.3

June 2
No food tracking for the month.
55 step jacks
55 kick backs
55 half squat walks
25 half wipers
5 minutes of basic stretches
Home project was cleaning out all the webs in the corners of the vaulted ceiilings. I'm really not into step tracking but it is a way to get me off the recliner. I did 10,030 today ~6000 of which were walking to the grocery store to get some half and half.The rest were just 'round the house sort of stuff.
Where are the other step jackers?

Today's exercise was frolicking on the beach (including running on the beach like in my profile pic) and in the ocean with the fam. Must do my third YAYOG for the week tomorrow! 6

Two days down and both on track. Cals were a little two low after breakfast and lunch and I was hungry in the late afternoon and tempted to snack (I often have dinner late) but part of being on track for me is not snacking so I resisted. (I think if I hadn't been eating lots of carbs on Monday/Tuesday I would have been less tempted.) I had planned to eat a low carb rhubarb crisp I was trying out for dessert, but even though I had the cals I did not have enough carbs and I'm trying to be strict with my goal this month so I decided to wait until tomorrow. (Fat was stupidly low in the morning which is why cals were too low and why I was hungry. Better planning going forward!)
Rest day today (decent amount of walking, though), but going to hit my planned runs this weekend.
I looked at the Mark's Daily Apple June activities and that looks like a fun thing to incorporate and I think I'm going to try to do that too, although it would mean a dip in Lake Michigan tomorrow -- I dunno if I can manage that. ;-)4 -
Where have I even been?
6/1: Arm Day-whew!
6/2: Leg Day- more whew!
I'm surprisingly not as sore as I thought, considering I went into Leg Day sore to begin with. We'll see what crops up after my long walk today. Sunny day. Gonna put on some shorts and a sleeveless shirt and get some vit D on while I catch up on NPR.3 -
6/1 under 4000 steps, ugh
6/2 5600, better but not there yet
Going hiking with some friends today, that should help!3 -
"two low"? I really should not post so late, weirdo typos!
I'm going to try to try out all the Mark's Daily Apple suggestions, but be flexible about the days (which is my way of saying I can't fit in a dip into the lake today, but tomorrow should be possible). ;-)
Your beach running is inspirational, macchiatto.2 -

Strength 3x a week, walks, cardio, or HIIT on the other days. I'd like to up my weights, but I have a ceiling I can't break. And it's dumb but DH refuses to let me get heavier dumbbells or KBs. I'll just have to do more reps when I get there. *insert epic eyeroll* "You're gonna get all bulky." PWAHAHAHAAA! He's super intelligent, but I think it's a mental block. Maybe he just doesn't want me to get stronger than him. I have up to a 30lb KB, so if push comes to shove I can do single-arm work with it, but that things is God-awful awkward. And of course I can put multiples of them in a backpack for leg work. But I like to follow videos, it's easy and keeps me compliant. I get bored with things easily. I have a set of heavier adjustable dumbells picked out for when he changes his mind.
Check places like Craig's list, garage sales, etc. I am sure you can find inexpensive dumbbell set up to 40 lbs.total. Why does he get to tell you what weights you should be working with, some how that doesn't sound like you. You are pretty kicka$$ most of the time here.2 -
Okay. Still hanging in. Yesterday was LC, not keto, but considering the angst of this one particular weekend, I'm good with that. All food was whole keto food, just too many carbs, around 45, and too many calories, but not a binge.
Today I'm on track, and keeping somewhat
busy. Called my son for social support, errands out of the house, fun household projects until early bedtime. Then tomorrow, I'm buying a ticket to a concert and going with friends, as a reward for getting thru this painful weekend on track.
Praying I can keep keto for a few days til the cravings subside and the stomach shrinks a bit.
I should be able to totally regroup in tne next three months if I stick with it. And I am stating here, that I plan to do just that.
As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

No food tracking. Thumbs up to that.
60 step jacks plus 60 of the other 3
5 min. stretch
Cleaned/removed those doggone spiders and crap at the entry. Another 2 story job.
11706 steps ~9000 of which were a walk to the grocery store and to the library so purposeful movement and the rest just around the house. I'm done.

Crud where are we? The 3rd? Okay on it!
6/1 - W2D1 Zombies, RUN! C25K, Day 1 of FWFG yoga,
6/2 - Migraine (damnit) but still got 1.5 hrs of gardening in really REALLY late in the day
6/3 - W2D2 Zombies, RUN! C25k, Day 2 of FWFG yoga. Also about killed myself today gardening. Nearly 4 hours of hand tilling, laying out cover, moving dirt/mulch and putting some beautiful plants in. I think I'm gonna find a machine for the back section I have yet to do. My hands are shredded and I think my arms will be too!3 -

Annoyed with myself because I blew it last night merely because I wanted to avoid embarrassment. We were at an Ethiopian place which is almost perfect for low carbing if you ask for a fork, impossible if not, and I didn't want to look like a weirdo who needed a fork OR deal with my friends asking what was up since they know I normally use the injera, so I went with a plan and then in the moment wimped out. Gah. Need to get better.
Today is good, though, and I started the morning food prepping for what will be a busy week with travel, so yay for that. Need to get my planned run this evening to work off the injera.3 -
Sorry I got lost! Just coming off of vacation and need to tighten up my carbs! So glad to have everyone's support!4

Great day! Cleaned the whole doggone house including some windows. Explored a new Ap, S-Health, (on Samsung phone). It has a food diay. Had to try it out so bombed on not recording food today.
65 step jacks as well as 65 of the other 3. 5 minute stretch. Walked to the library again to get my reserved book, "Diet Cults"

Just joined the group. Excited to be here! My goals for June:
Log every meal.
Get at least 3x workouts a week in.
Hit 70lbs lost.
Assuming you're using Audible, you can change the playback speed to 1.25x normal. It will take your brain about five minutes to adjust, (and once it does you'll never notice it again), but you get through books much faster.Start walking again so i can finish this damn 28hr audiobook i downloaded....in my lifetime.

June is going well so far. Kept all the changes I've made back in may. Logging everything, eating low carb, gym everyday plus 15.000 steps and cold showers. Praying to God my discipline and determination will keep getting stronger. I had a birthday party yesterday and just ate within my food list and kept to my calories (roughly, couldn't weight the food there lol). Not on that level yet :-). Happy and healthy June everyone!4

6/1/17 - 6/4/17
1. Continued my daily tracking of foods and weight (keep forgetting to put in measurements!...must do this tonight)
2. Added cheese to my menu- seems my body is good with that.
3. Discovered I need some open space to do my video workout (living room a no go). I worked on an area in garage; however, got to get a lot of stuff hauled off- hopefully this week. I haven't started my video workout yet, but getting treadmill and heavy cleaning in for exercise.
4. Swerve is an absolute NO!!! Stevia is good- if and when I need it.
I think I'm on a good track
Many successes to all!!

Today is the first day of LTGKTB 21 day fitness challenge. My goal is to keep going till June 30th. Working my way up to a 60 day challenge. Rules of challenge are:
1. Do the video workouts 5 days a week
2. Eat low carb no more than 25 grams of carbs a day
3. Track all food
4. Drink 1/2 gallon of water working up to gallon a day2 -
Just starting "Jump-In June" ... My goals are to plan ahead and log my intake. I have not done this with any regularity before (hence my stop/start weight loss). Oh ... and to eat my green leafy veggies (and that's it for carbs daily!)
