1-Continue maintaining weight- Honestly about a pound up from where I like.
2-Exercise regularly...last month I focused on Hammer & Chisel for resistance but this month I think I'm doing mostly 22 Minute Hard Corp which is more circuit training. Also of course trail runs. The weather has me all outside and neglecting my weights...I need to get more lifting in.
3- Continue home overhaul....meh...I half assed straightened the living room and did some dishes and laundry but no big stuff.
4- Do more outdoorsy stuff...here I'm doing great thanks to the weather. Rain today though.


6/3-Hiked down to the river and back up the super extra steep route.
6/4-Took the toddler to see some waterfalls. Chased her around there and the playground. Mowed the lawn.

Can "whatever I have to promise him to get my husband to paint the house" be a goal?

Haha! I think that's an excellent goal -- every time you see your newly painted house, you'll get a rush of joy and peacefulness that's just gotta be good for your stress and cortisol levels, making your weight loss/fitness goals that much easier to achieve...um, at least that's the justification you can offer the hubbie! Good luck!

June Goals:
Break my plateau and get below 180 (plateau for 2 months now).
Rejoin the gym tomorrow and start strength training again 3 times per week.
16:8 intermittent fasting 4 days a week, which started today (I'm hungry now, but not hangry)!

I only just now read this, but my goal for this month fits rather well into this month's challenge.

For the past few weeks, I've been frustrated at my lack of being more active. For various reasons (family, work, house obligations), my ability to do something like go for a walk daily has been severely limited, and between my back issues and the fact that the room my stuff is in is filled with other stuff, I can't use my weight set. It has resulted in me being quite sedentary, and I don't like it and neither have my hips.

I'd been thinking about a way to remedy that. In the past, I would have done my go-to StrongLifts 5x5 routine or something very similar, but recently, it makes my back very angry and between warm-up and workout, requires a bit more time and concentration than I can allot right now, and I can't get the habit going. A 3 day a week lifting routine just wasn't going to work for me.

Dummy me, it took me until a few days ago to realize I should try a daily routine (probably because most routines I'm familiar with have a ton of exercises; the simplicity of SL5x5 is why I like it), but when it clicked, it hit me. I know enough to build a routine at least for now to get and keep me moving, and balance building/maintaining strength without overtaxing my back and causing problems.

So! My goal is to get into the habit of working out in the mornings. Monday, Thursday are upper body; Tuesday, Friday are lower body; Wednesday, Saturday are cardio; Sunday is rest since it tends to be my most social day.

I already know that the 15-17th isn't going to work that way, but that's because I'll be at a camping event...where I'll be spending nearly all my time on my feet going back and forth in a large campground in the summer sun. The rest of the time, though, I plan on running that routine.

No home projects today but lots of laying around. Did 70 step jacks and same # for the other 3 exercises. 5 min stretch + a 2.5 mile walk to the grocery store...in the rain.

June goals:

1) stop the snacking. It may *just* be nuts but it adds up!
2) Consistently follow my training plan for the marathon.
3) stay around 20 g of carbs a day
4) do weekly menu plans

@baconslave thanks! It looks interesting I'm going to check it out!

Hello All. Not completely new to MyFitnessPal, but just joining in the Community area. I hope for some motivation, accountability and help staying on track.. I have tried other diets and finally have decided that I have to cut my carbs to lose. I stick to fruits (not all of them) and Veggies as most of my carbs for the day! I do get horrible cravings for sweets, however. Very weak! My June goal is to get back started on counting carbs and cutting sugar completely!

So far I've managed to do 1 LS mile (in addition to my lunchtime walk) every day but 2. Its getting easier.

Going well so far. I'm already sleeping better at night (\o/) and able to get out of bed instead of wanting to go back to sleep when my husband's alarm goes off. Today, I was out of bed a little before 7 (alarm goes off at 6:15 and I spend a fair bit of time stretching before I even get out of bed, because it helps my back pain).

I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do for cardio, since my bellydance stuff doesn't seem to be quite high intensity enough (though it's still a great all-over muscular workout), and I don't really have room for much of anything except like running in place. I did bellydance for a while, then switched to shadow boxing (oh, how I wish I had a punching bag, then this wouldn't be a problem!). It's not a huge deal, since the idea is still to just get the blood flowing, so I'll keep an eye out for ideas and see what I can come up with.

I saw a thing one time a while back about doing the Cha Cha Slide in plank position. If anyone's looking for a full body thing, I recommend trying that out. I did it a little bit, but it's more of a strength workout than I'm looking for for my cardio days, so I switched away from it. It's a killer workout, though.
