Anyone interested in starting a 30 day Tracking/ Reflection/ Accountability Challenge Starting Today?

Check in weekly with any of the following:
1) What week are you on?
2) Goal of the week (ie. Lose 2 lbs or Track every day or Workout 2 x this week etc.)
3) Positive Affirmation/ Statement of the week (ie. "I am good Enough" or "I got this" etc.)
4) Did you meet last week's goal? (yes/ no)
5) Why? (what was your success of the week/ what got in your way?)
Bonus: Any Other Reflections...

We got this and we can do it together :smile:

    I'm in, thanks for starting us off!
    Week: 1

    Goals: Burn at least 1,500 calories every day (outside of my expenditure), drink a minimum of 64 oz of water, stick to my lower carb food plan, and obtain a healthy fasting blood/glucose level this week.

    Affirmation (Time for Joy/Recovery): "I celebrate myself today and know that my feelings are okay. I am me, unique and alive."

    Potential Obstacles: Nothing this week, and although Valentines Day is tomorrow, the hub and I are planning a healthy, low carb meal followed by our favorite board game!

    First time in this group. Glad to be here.

    Week: 1 Started March 4th.
    Goals: Exercise 6x this week; log every day; pay attention to everything I eat
    Affirmation: I am worth it!
    Potential Obstacles: Motivation, consistency. Which I will overcome by acknowledging that I've been here before, and refuse to repeat the past.

    I'm at a crossroads in so many ways ... time to choose the right path.

    The change is me!

    Have a great week, ladies!

    Okay. I'm fighting a cold, and I have a tooth extraction scheduled for Thursday, so I'll do my starting weight this Friday and will check in throughout the week. Then if it catches on, we can do it through February, then if it catches on, we can do a month-to-month, what do you think?

    So, I have been on track this week for the most part. But had my wisdom tooth extracted this week, with stitches, so I wasn't 100% on point with the water intake and the steps. I didn't consume low carb 100%, but did what I could, so I'm looking forward to seeing what my progress looks like at weigh in tomorrow.

    My 3/8/19 Results:
    SW: 174
    CW: 173 (down 1lb)
    GW: 169 by end of March

    I feel that I would've done better, but on Wed, I had dental surgery, which basically left me pretty much incapacitated and unable to do much. I couldn't stick to low carb because I had to eat soft foods, such as mashed potatoes, soups, and soft crackers. I'm hoping to have better results next friday.

    My goals for this week are. Eat low carb, intermittently fast for at least 18hrs per day (18:6), drink my water, and accomplish at least 5K steps per day. My week starts on Sunday (today), so here we go...

    This week is more snow out and I'm cold and un-motivated. I'm not sure what the scale will show, but I'm not gonna hold my breath *sigh*
