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!

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 -

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
-
Late but eager to join. Am inspired by everyone who posted!

Log every day
Keep macros in range
Start Calm for relaxing sleep rituals
Limit alcohol to no more than 2 days per week
Lose 2 lbs
Prove to self can set and keep goal!
Stop wishing/start doing!

Exercise, logging and fasting were great all weekend but a grad party on Saturday led to some very poor food choices. It doesn’t happen often so I got back on track Sunday. I was dying for an after dinner snack last night but focused elsewhere and avoided it. I started body shred today, ran and got a dog walk in, so the week is starting off well. If I can get past the snacking, I should be back on track to losing the last 5.2

Jumping in for week two!

I still haven't lost weight in a month I know its harder for 50yo women, but *kittens*. It seems everyone else is just shedding the pounds. I'll stay the course. I am testing ketones with a blood meter and am in ketosis. But I would really like to be one of the people who makes noticeable losses weekly. 1 -
I’m REALLY impressed you’re staying on track without the weight loss!!! Have you lost inches at least? Or no change whatsoever?1

Hopefully you are weighing and measuring your food intake since you are not losing? I'm confident you know (or have read) that being in ketosis does not directly cause weight loss. There are thousands who eat ketogenic as a lifestyle in maintenance and do not lose weight by intentionally eating maintenance calories versus deficit calories. Calories in< calories out still applies. Here's a good 7-8 minute reminder about calories and when to count/track. I will reinforce the idea that Dr. Westman says that Keto is not a calorie counting diet....unless or until....
