JUMP IN June....a motivational challenge? Jump on in, feet first, full steam ahead, make a plan and jump right into it with all your determination, no excuses, just get it done! Make weekly goals,challenges and just jump in and do it! By the end of June, look back at your challenges and see which ones you JUMPED IN and GOT DONE!

Excellent idea!

The challenge starts tomorrow. So go ahead and post your goals, whether it be nailing down plan basics, increasing your fitness, or adopting healthy habits. A few of you suggested a jumping jack challenge for yourselves. Anything is fair game as long as it's in pursuit of your health or fitness.

Jump on in!

My goal is to stay in nutritional ketosis range so I will still be slightly below my original goal weight on my birthday 7/2. I use a breathanalyzer, so that means .05 or higher though out the day. I do at least two tests a day. So far I'm doing well,these are the kind of numbers I want to be seeing.

6/1 1.0
6/2 1.1
6/3 0.9 (stopped fasting)
6/4 0.9

UPDATE:
6/5 .07 (started fasting end of day)
6/6 .05
6/7 .09

I notice I no longer like coconut oil in my coffee when fasting, a short drop of HWC does it for me now. I also don't feel the need for as much bone broth, skipping it most days now.

Sounds like a lot of us are moving more this month. My rolling 28 day average of steps is back over 10K which I like, wasn't a goal, it just happened.

6/6: rest day

@retirehappy what type of fasting do you do if you don't mind me asking? I read the book The Complete Guide to Fasting by Jason Fung and have tried a three day fast to help encourage my body to produce HGH, (human growth hormone) which is considered the fountain of youth. I normally do the 19:5 fast. I am trying to rid my body of Lymes disease so I thought that the production of HGH would help with boosting my immune system. It sounds like you are doing fantastic!

I started out just doing IF, 14/10, in January, I slowly cut back the size of my eating window. I learned a lot about my hunger signals doing that. Then I decided to try extended fasting,
I use Fung's book as my guide. I got a cheap breathalyzer to monitor my ketone level 47 days ago. I started a 72 hr. fast, first extended one, during a group fast in April, I went over 81 hrs. So I have gotten into eating/fasting, using 72 hrs. as my target, I have done over 104 hrs. I do a liquid fast, coffee/coconut oil/HWC, bone broth, plain water (staying under 100 calories) the more I do this, the less I feel the need for either one. Water and Himalayan salt seem to tame the ghrelin peaks.

I am using it for weight loss, I am now just slightly under my goal weight and want to learn how to stay there, I even decided to aim for a lower weight. I do get bounce ups, but they are tiny and come back down within a couple of days with minimal effort.

For fasting to heal the body, even Fung agrees with Dr. Seyfried, that water only fasts are best. As I have no major health issues, so I haven't felt the need to push myself that far yet. But who knows? I love the way I feel after fasting. I might push myself further, but right now I am very pleased with what is happening. Just remember with issues like yours, you will want to stop any fast when you start to feel sick at all. Eat, stabilize yourself and try again when you feel well again.

@retirehappy thanks so much for the input! I want to research further his food program as well which is based on keto for brain health in combination with HGH is a strong hormone in the healing of Alzheimer's and other brain diseases it's remarkable. I'm assuming that they probably use brain octane or whatever else it has been called can't quite remember. I know it is the condensed form of coconut oil. I'll have to go to my pharmacy and pick some up! It sounds as though you are having great success with your program.

Happy with progress in getting back to keto weight loss. This morning my weigh-in shows that I'm back at my January weight, and I'm relieved that it wasn't more. Still have that pesky 20-25 pound reloss to achieve and I've on track with my 3 month plan.

Keto food is good, but what is messing me up now is extra liquor cals and carbs. Takes me just enough over carb and cals to keep me from getting anywhere. So that's my next target. I need to set a limit that works for me, but the truth is it has been helping me cope these last three months. I think I'm ready to handle things again though...and losing weight is a great motivator for cutting way back, and even for choosing no carb alcohol like vodka when I do drink.

Jumping for joy this June. It does feel really good to be invested in setting and working towards my goals again.

You seem to know what you need to work on, and congrats on getting down to your previous weight. Sounds like you are enjoying getting both feet back on the ground again. Wishing you much success.

Fung's assistant, Magan Ramos says he prefers people fast without added fats, but if that is the only way you can stick with it, do it. You'll be better off than if you just give up. I only add fat to my coffee now if I feel I really really need something more in my stomach than the coffee. Also I have found that decaf is the better choice, caffeine tends to up your cortisol, and I don't need that upped at all.

6/5 - 6/7
1. Tracked all my foods and most of my water (I drink lots of water, just not 100% on tracking it)
2. Getting exercise in on treadmill (for the moment due to still needing space)
3. Working on recipes this weekend

fanncy0626

@retirehappy does Fung's assistant recommend a more Paleo type diet? Whole Foods diet? Or just not Keto? I know there's more research I will have to do! Thanks for your input! Appreciate your help.

She says keto or lchf, some people do better with more carbs than others. I really like that she is on a podcast. She was 80 lbs. over weight, had a fatty liver at age 9. Fung helped her heal, so she is a great example for his patients. She really believes in the program because she knows how powerful the process can be.

Well, I joined the gym (one of my goals). The only problem is making myself go! I WILL go today!!

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!

Updating for 4-7
6/4 - garden. It looks awesome but I was so tired of hauling around dirt/mulch. Wish I still drank beer since an ice cold one would have been perfect.
6/5 - W2D3 Zombies, RUN C25k.
6/6 - rest/anniversary
6/7 - W3D1 Zombies, RUN! C25k

No clue why it's so damned hard to turn on 10 minutes of yoga but I can go jog on a treadmill for the same amount of time...

My goal for this month is to start a keto diet (low carb) and learn how to do it correctly!!

I'm a bit late for this challenge but I did start on June 1. My goal for week one was to get into nutritional ketosis which I accomplished on Day 4.
