Repeat of the challenge blurb:
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:kfat1 wrote: »
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. Anything is fair game as long as it's in pursuit of your health or fitness.
Jump on in!

I forgot to brag last week. I celebrated my 4-year LCiversary on the 3rd.
I only mention this to show you guys that even if it seems like a long road and impossible, umm...I've done LC for 4 years. Kept off 91lb.
It can be done.
Tear it up this week!

Stopped wishing.
Started doing.6 -
I had a happy hour with some girl friends yesterday, I drank too much wine but stayed low carb for my meal. Missed my workout though, so need to pick up the pace this weekend to make sure I get 3.5 hours in.2

Week 1 was great. Exceeded my 45k steps by 2000 and change. Still working on upping my protein and going leaner. Steady as she goes, Captain!
@baconslave congrats! A long term livable lifestyle change.3 -

My goal is to stop eating processed carbs and sugar. I realize that if I was eating Keto the way I should be that this would be a no brainer. Unfortunately I am still bingeing on mainly sugar at least once a week. I began reading 8 weeks to sugar free by Karin Thomson and the first week went great. I am now re-starting week 2 for the second time.
I realize I must become a sugar abstainer as all it takes is a taste to send me into a downward spiral.4 -
Stupid scale! I had a small gain even though I logged, exercised and fasted as planned. A few forays into after dinner snacking could be my culprit. I’m fighting the urge not to grab something now but I will abstain!! Come on week 2, let’s do this!5

I’m now switching to nights for 4 nights so I’ve planned ahead for today/tonight - will post in mornings I guess - stupid shift work confuses1 -
Great weekend so far...got my planned workouts in, carbs are in check (even at a triple crown party) and we have a bbq today but the host is LCHF, so it should be easy.2

I am jumping in to try and convince myself that I CAN make a goal and keep. I must do this for my health. Lots of failures on attempts to eat better and move more. Today is a new beginning.
Goals for June 11 - 16:
Log what I eat every day
Exceed tracker step goal by 100 steps
Find and complete a calming bedtime routine to reduce stress and encourage sleep
Lose at least one pound this week.4 -

I went overboard with late night snacks. Darn those smokehouse almonds are good.1 -

I hear ya. I kinda sorta dug into an excessive amount of almonds last night. Mine were raw and unsalted to help keep tastiness thus excessiveness to a minimum. Didn't seem to help this time. Bummer.2 -

- Exercise 3 x week (Week 1= 2/3 )

Ok, got on scale today and was up two lbs. Kept carbs low but perhaps was a little lax on calories, but nothing drastic. Could be normal fluctuation. Will carry on and be more careful with calories.
Am on my last 20 and ALWAYS have a very slow time at this point.2 -
Carbs were a little higher than I wanted over the weekend and the scale showed it today. Still got my workouts in but need to step it up this week along with lowering my carbs and overall calories.1
