New month knocking on the door, new challenge!
This month's theme came to us last year courtesy of @kfat1. I liked the idea so much, I decided to use it again this year. And also, it was already dreamed up, and I'm lazy. :bigsmile:
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. Anything is fair game as long as it's in pursuit of your health or fitness.
Jump on in!

Ok. My goals for June are:
Maintain my weight loss (65 lbs total since HW of 205 lbs., 42 lbs since starting again in July 2017 at 182 lbs.) in the range of 138 - 142 lbs.
Incorporate more strength training, mostly body weight exercises right now.
Get back to going to yoga classes.
Be able to complete 100 squats consecutively.4 -
I am ready for a new month!
Exercise goals:
4 work days/days at the gym: 2 strength, 2 cardio. As it is FINALLY warming up here, I want to add in early morning walks on my days off of work and take a kid with me for 1:1 chat time. And I want to try to get a hike in most weekends.
Food goals:
IF 16:8
Log
plan work lunches better
Find some new recipes to play with

I'm in.
Main goal for June is to just keep on going on the weight loss, no matter how fast or slow it goes. Currently 12 lbs down (started my journey on May 1st). I log nearly everything, daily.
Exercise goal would be to get in at least 3 exercise days per week. I plan to increase that but have to start somewhere first! Currently only getting 1-2 days in.3 -
June Goals:
Log
Meal prep
Lose 10 pounds
210,000 steps
405 floors
Use the treadmill that's taking up space in my extra room at least 5 times2 -
My goal is to stay in ketosis - even though I have a few party days planned.
Making my IF schedule more regular is my secondary goal.
Let's do this!2 -
Bike. Bike, bike, bike! I have used every excuse under the sun not to haul my *kitten* out on my bike and ride the trails. No excuses - I am jumping on that bike and going at least 100 miles.3
-
Me too!
Keep logging
Keep losing
Keep exercising (getting out on my bike too!)
Lose 5 or close
I guess my June goals will just be to keep this going. I have seen great results in May and I am seeing myself at a weight/size that I haven't seen in a long time. It feels great. I know I will keep exercising but I would like to get out on my bike more, doing longer rides than my usual 14K zip around the loop.
So happy to be here 5 -
June Goals:
* Daily Walk with the dogs (set the alarm early to get in an early morning walk)
* Daily Yoga/stretching (evenings)
* Logging every morsel

I'm in - I have been just horrible since last fall and it's time I kick my "kitten" into gear. So starting today I'm trying to go as low carb as possible for the next 5 days as a kick start. Once my blood sugar ups and downs settles I want to start running again - albeit slow jogging since I have a bad back
SO goals are:- Carbs as close to zero as possible for 5 days
- switch to LCHF on 6/06/18 - up to 20 grams carbs a day
- Exercise more consistently: walking, running, biking and yoga
- Lose 10 lbs this month. Is it possible??!!?? I'll try!

Calorie goal

No wine!!
Got out yesterday for my first bike ride of the year. There is a 14K loop that I generally do but my goal is to go farther. Theres another loop thats probably 25-30K. Dh does a lot of biking as well so I would like to build up to go with him. (ironman training, him....not me. lol)
@taylok23 - your #4 is key for me, I am a night time snacker so trying to cut that out is hard but I see more results when I do.2 -

6/2
Calories over
Net carbs over
No exercise
Yesterday was tough. Went to a good friends mothers funeral. After there were finger sandwiches/sweets. I didn't do terribly but I did have some. Later my sister came to stay with me, we had wine and a not very carb-free dinner.
I guess another part of my June goal should be to not get discouraged when days like this happen (because they will happen) and to just get right back at it the next day. In the past a day like this would get me totally off for a few days. Then it spirals and continues. Started today off with a low-carb English muffin (that I made this week from an online recipe). Nothing like the English muffins I know (LOL) but it was ok and I feel like I am starting out on the right foot.4 -

Keep carbs as low as possible each day.
Not give into cravings when at social gatherings.

The weekend went fairly well so now to keep it up and maybe lose these last pesky 5 pounds. Between yard work, dog walks, running and p90x3, I nailed the exercise and logging. I was able to fast for 16 yesterday and 15 today so I’m not worried about an hour. No snacking last night after dinner and so far, so good tonight. Let’s see what the rest of the week brings!2

Reduced cravings are helping reduce eatings. Don't know why reduced weight isn't happening yet but not worrying. Exercising patience, trusting the method. 3

6/3
Calories under
macros good
Net carbs under
So I had planned a run for yesterday afternoon but I ended up giving that up to plant two trees in my yard that I had been putting off for a week. So, got that done as well as some weeding in the flower beds. Got bit to pieces by horseflies...they were terrible!
Glad its done though.1 -
so far so good. My initial plan to keep my carbs super low hasn't worked out, but they have been lower then they have been in a long time. Sometimes plans just don't work out like you wanted! 1

6/1 - 6/3
I was out camping for the weekend. The flowers were beautiful. I did great with the eating and the exercise, but drank a few too many carbs around the campfire. I need to keep at it today! So I'm planning a morning jog.1 -
